Over and over it seems like... Its a cough now for most, hardly any hospitalisations over here at the moment.

Going abroad (well in Europe) is strange at the moment. They make you put a mask on to get on the plane but after 2 minutes not one person on the plane on the plane has a mask on including the staff.

Italy still requires FFP2 masks pretty much everywhere (including the flights to-and-from) but yeah everywhere else in Europe seems to be more relaxed about it.

My Mrs, a nurse has now tested positive today. Mild enough symptoms. However, I have tickets for Rovers v Bohs on Friday so I need to do a test tomorrow and she can't go.

Bloody pita if I miss this derby, and Mrs obvs is out. Little Miss BR also has a ticket.

Fingers crossed I will be clear.

Prof Sir Jonathan Van-Tam, who until recently was England's deputy chief medical officer, told the BBC the country was in a different situation from the peaks in infections earlier in the year.

He said: "I don't wear a face covering, but if there were circumstances where I felt it was a really closed environment, with very high crowding and very intense social interaction, then those are the situations where I might think 'should I or shouldn't I?'.

"And I think people have got to learn to frame those risks for themselves."

The professor. who is now pro-vice-chancellor at the University of Nottingham's faculty of medicine and health sciences, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that it was time to start reassessing how we think about Covid, thanks to the success of vaccines.

"In terms of its kind of lethality, the picture now is much, much, much closer to seasonal flu than it was when [coronavirus] first emerged.

"And you know, we just accept in the winter that, if you've got seasonal flu and you're poorly for a few days, it disrupts your life. And so I think we've got start to frame Covid in a little bit more of those terms."

He said experts would continue to watch closely for any large rises in severe illness and more people ending up in hospital or intensive care.





Stand down.

He said that, kind of, about 2 years ago. "At some point, we will just need to live with it", or sommet.

Not just the media it seems.

I think, almost by rote, some of the things we were told to do back then, many still do. Social distancing in shops is deffo still a thing, and still see folk with masks on buses. I still wash my hands when I get back from the shops. Just habit. Maybe a good one.

They’re all over monkey pox too, despite the fact, it’s pretty difficult to catch.
