Capitalism is about making money, who knew!

We’ve had to re introduce a limit to the number of people in our shop today.
We’re at 450 with a bit of a queue.
During early lockdown we were lower and I can only see that happening again.

Yeh its now 2020.

And COVID 19 became a Pandemic in March 2020.

Or indeed specifically responding to pandemic, thus encouraging people to stay isolated while they are virulent, more carrot less stick...

Same here in the UK, we are near country wide capacity for ICU beds, although you will have Tory wum, lying and stating the NHS is at normal capacity, happy clappers...

Hardly surprising. If you don't get sick pay you go to work when you're sick.

Germany cranking the measures up. Amongst other things bars/restaurants to shut until the end of November. Max 2 households to meet outdoors. Grim.

Do you have any figures, for U.K. ICU occupancy and capacity ?.....

Noisy noise annoys jr?

I have just gone to ask him to hang the washing out, my office stinks of weed, he has burned a hole in the bin and the toilet seat. It is too smelly in there to hang the washing out. I told him I know he has been smoking, he looked at me like Cheech Marin and denied it, I lost the plot, booted the bin across the room, slapped his nose with my fingers and stormed off.
Now feel guiltier than Judas himself even though he has single handedly trashed everything he touches.


Basically yes, noisy noise annoys JNR

Amazing that the full destructive effect of lockdowns on people’s health doesn’t seem to result in any measurable effect on the health of society, just anecdotes that actually reflect how the health system doesn’t have that much extra capacity to deal with emergencies.

Levinson is a Harley Street private practice doctor by the way.
