Was this actually the case though?
Even if you didn't change routine, the rest of the country did?
Are you telling me you haven't changed routine at all in the last 4-6 months?

Yeah. Our government is slowly starting to wake up to the fact the delta variant in 2021 is a different beast, and harder to control, than the initial variant in March 2020.
It's a good thing in a way, there might be a little bit of pain over the next few months when COVID rips through the population, but hopefully if we get to 80%+ of the eligible population fully vaccinated hospital admissions will be manageable. Then we can open back up to the rest of the world.

An airline whose primary hub is in Georgia, one of the most unvaxxed US states, probably not a coincidence
Actually heroin (opioids generally) have anti-tussive effects so itmakes sense...bit of overkill (excusing the "in poor taste" pun) for just a cough though

Somewhat off topic but the posters interested in Covid are more likely to be interested in this important development too.
On Wednesday, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced it has given its stamp of approval to a vaccine against malaria for children for the first time, after encouraging results from a pilot study that has reached hundreds of thousands of children across parts of sub-Saharan Africa since 2019. The vaccine, called Mosquirix and made by GlaxoSmithKline, is far from perfect — it produces about a 30 percent reduction in severe malaria in fully vaccinated children, which is lifesaving but smaller than would be hoped for.
But the WHO recommendation is a step forward in the fight against one of humanity’s deadliest remaining infectious disease enemies. It will likely lead to countries adding the vaccine to their childhood immunization programs starting immediately. And it’s only the first step of many to come. Researchers are already working to improve on Mosquirix, and with a combination of different approaches, it might be possible for the world to significantly cut down on malaria’s staggering human toll for good.

Anyone else got this 'super cold' or flu? I feel awful this week. Started with severe sickness and the squits
Wasn’t quite sure whether to put this hear or in the EU thread but I was walking round the city yesterday thinking about all the empty buildings with everyone now working from home a lot more.
What the government should do is buy some of these buildings, convert them to residential, one bedroom flats, use the flats to house the homeless in the city so that they have an address for employment and then use the previously homeless to fill the gaps in the labour supply that have been impacted by brexit et al.
Granted this won’t have a 100% success rate, probably nowhere near, but what it would do is improve a number of issues at once.
