iirc, you have 10% of the population and get 13% of the GST, be careful what you ask for.?

nah, last year we only got 4.6%. It will likely be higher next year as the iron ore price drops
Also, to compound that rubbish, there’s no such department as NHS Vaccines. It’s a bogus logo designed to con.
My 5 year old son had COVID and one of his primary school classmates has also recently tested positive. Thankfully my son had no serious symptoms and is back in class.
There were a couple of positive cases among some of the older primary school children as well. Didn’t hear of it last year, so I’m wondering if the delta variant has made the difference.
Starting to slip down the list of news stories
Fingers crossed and long may that continue.

I got it from my daughters school earlier today, quickly followed by an email apologising for sending it.

Whom should we believe though mate? this pandemic ruined my life and looks like it will never end, variants and whatnot
Sorry to hear that mate. Hope you can sort things out!!
I'd like to lean towards the optimistic side, and go with those who say it will slowly fizzle out. I dread how we will be if its sticks around at this level for years.
Believe what you see around you in your everyday life.
Look at this week, there’s hardly been a peep out of the press in the UK about the pandemic, as they’re too busy, whipping up the fear factor with the petrol station bollox.
Undoubtedly, they’ll come roaring back with more stories of death and destruction, once the fuel nonsense is sorted out.
It really isn’t in their interests for this to go away anytime soon and they’re going to squeeze every last pip out of it.

That article falls very much on the side of scaremongering - some of the implications in the wording is 2020 levels of fear.
Despite brutal initial waves and relatively high vaccination rates, countries including the U.S., U.K., Russia and Israel are flirting with record numbers of cases. Immunization is helping to moderate incidences of severe cases and deaths, but surging infections mean the virus is reaching the young and others who remain unvaccinated, leading to rising rates of serious disease in those groups.
That paragraph makes it sound way worse than it actually is currently, in the UK anyway. If there were restrictions to prevent what our July- now has looked like, there'd be restrictions forever.
