I think we will get a large rise again due to opening up everything last week. Night clubs etc. Daily cases way higher than what we had last week.

I hope I'm wrong.

Most likely. Can’t see any more lockdowns or anything though; think the plan is to let this thing hammer us before flu season kicks in to give the hospitals a chance.

Nothing will actually come of this will it, it’ll be confined to GOT vaults never to be opened again, by the end of next week.

Unfortunately pal. This might be the most wrong post in GOT history..

Disgraceful scenes in Sydney over the weekend, thousands marching in protest at lockdown which as usual turned violent and a police horse got punched as well. Cheers for keeping us in a longer lockdown you super spreader c****

Spent a couple of hours re-reading through some of the posts from the 'early days' of this pandemic

An absolutely fascinating time-capsule of opinions (some terrible, including my own) fears and dissenting voices

Reading back as the whole thing unfolded is kind of eerie, and really makes you understand how naive we all were about the life changing events about to happen to all of us.

I do that sometimes, like you say, mad how naive and dismissive people (myself included) were at the start of this all.

This headline and the date sends shivers when I see it thinking how it changed the world, I remember reading this on the train as just 'another news story'....

Asia is doomed

Vietnam locks down capital Hanoi as COVID-19 infections soar

Fifteen-day lockdown order bans the gathering of more than two people in public in city of eight million.

oh there'll be a spike again but it just depends when it comes and how the hospitals handle it.

If there's also an increase in natural immunity along with the vaccines (which there will be) then that will also have a positive impact.

We should be hitting a lot more hospitalisations and deaths than we are. There's no justification for further restrictions (but that's not me saying people shouldn't be sensible or whatever - then again I was sensible, and got it. It's rife and tbh part of me is glad I've got it now, with one jab, and the other to come soon).

Ah but we were all supposed to 'look to the east' as a way out of this pandemic.

The lovable East and their unmatched ability in breeding Respiratory diseases to gift the rest of the world.
