Smoking.

We all should smoke, I've heard its safer than Cov19.

Managed restrictions, test, test, test ( no laughing ) shielding of the vulnerable.

Keys in a bowl?

On a serious note, what type of restrictions are we expecting across the Merseyside region?

'Campus bubbles'
Shut down of night time economy
Restrictions on care home visits
No household mixing
Only takeaway and restrictions on opening times for restaurants/eating establishments
National ask to restrict use of gyms and leisure activities

If by a miracle, all vaccines get failed, next year today, 16.09.2021, we still have the exact amount of deaths, what is our move? I doubt mental states of people will be able carry this on.

Sadly not.

On the “good news “ side of the ledger S Korea seems to be getting its recent outbreak under control, these contact tracers are awesome

the statement by the Israeli President is (in an admittedly dire time for politics worldwide) one of the best things I've read this year (it starts with the tweet below, but please read all of it):

We cancelled our holiday to Lanzarote and instead had a nights stay Betws -y -coed (forgive my spelling) but it was awful...we were both utterly para and the hotel was equally para and it sucked the joy out of it all...in part we were glad to help out the tourist industry but also a bit bummed..........we both are now reassuring each other we have no covid but have raw hands and mask rash.

Excellent trip adviser review.

Not good at all. See so many more people that ignore the rules than you did a few weeks back.

Go the Asda now and there’s no distancing, many not wearing masks. On top of that, there’s a whole host of COVID HOAX and COVID SCAM graffiti around the place now

Mad

To be fair we will be back to normal by Christmas, so as decorations on display, so some may be ahead of themselves.

Weve got 2 days booked next week in the Lake District, if we go into Local Lockdown I don't really think its fair that we travel all that way and potentially spread something, plus this post is really making think we should cancel.
