And since we've spent the day watching the EU locking us out one by one we figured we'd just be setting ourselves up for a bigger headache if we chance it. Either we get denied boarding, Malta puts a ban in, or worst of all worlds: Malta forces us to quarantine inside the hotel.

Just tested postive for covid, probably because my bastard managers decided not to tell anyone in my work area at the royal mail warehouse that at least two people came down with it a week ago. This really is a hell country.

The new UK strain has been detected in Australia too, though it's in people already in hotel quarantine and isn't linked to the current outbreak in Sydney as that came from the US Here's what the GuardianAus liveblog is saying quote:I’ve been speaking to some infectious disease experts and epidemiologists this morning about what the new Covid strain detected in the UK means for Australia, and whether Australians should be concerned about it spreading from hotel quarantine here.

Of course the government that murders its own people thinks nothing of also stealing from them: negative interest rates Just Make Sense for the evil bastards in charge. As soon as lockdown eases up, anyone who can should leave the sinking vessel Britannia. If I were wealthier I’d offer to pay for people’s plane tickets.

I think the confluence of;
Might actually break through to the 60+ lobby who are ok with their kids being destitute because of Brexit, and steadily propping up that 40% CON polling, but who would like to see their grandkids live to a double digit age But we live on bullshit island where hope dies eternal so I’m guessing they’ll be over 50pts and Boris will be a decisive champion by Wednesday.

OwlFancier posted:If you really want antisocial gardening than pampas grass is a good one, it's a big horrible mess that also has serrated leaves that gently caress you up if you brush past them. Also highly invasive and gets these massive stalks that I assume spray seeds within several miles. For some unfathomable reason my grandma had a huge pampas plant in the middle of our front garden for most of my childhood. It was a huge misplaced monster that would razor you up good, and we had to either let it grow like something from a horror movie or pay some poor underprepared gardener to come and deal with it. Eventually my dad just said "gently caress it" and chopped the thing to shreds then uprooted the stump, so I guess he had some positive attributes as well.

Apologies for not being caught up on reading the thread but it feels like everything's a loving joke. After my parents, quite reasonably legit not having a go, said that government Covid rules meant I couldn't see them for Xmas I got a bit sad and reached out to basically every vaguely leftist person I knew wanting something to do with myself on Xmas day. The result was having a Zoom call with a very professional demeanour person from the Salvation Army giving training and guidance for delivering Xmas boxes to people. So taking her guidance I call ahead to Morrisons, drive down and right there is a lad with a visor on to take payment for 20 disposable masks and and 20 disposable pairs of gloves. I ask on the building Whatsapp group if people mind the care boxes being left in the foyer, no one does it's all very Xmas spirit and while it wasn't dream Christmas plan I felt like there was some purpose I could do so everything wouldn't feel poo poo that day. Then the gov suddenly announces tier 4 and it's all off, those Xmas plans aren't happening for anyone anymore, got a robot message from Salvation Army saying 'don't do the plan' so I'm here holding my dick with seven hefty boxes of mince pies and it honestly feels like this guidance is so loving haphazard and ill-planned that not breaking Covid rules must mean you're just a loving mug, there's no plan anyway.

The govt should buy up all the perishable food currently en route to the ports and distribute it around the country. Surely the military could do something like this. Call up all the Territorials.

https://twitter.com/RealHero12089/status/1340701537098747905?s=19 I am posting wrestling here because a) it's barely wrestling, it's more physical performance nonsense and b) we all need a chuckle in these dark times. King Kong, 2 Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones shark, and a DJ ghost vs 2 brothers, Ultraman, Staypuft Marshmallow Man and a Japanese wrestling legend who was also elected to office wearing his wrestling mask. There's a cardboard city, they dismantle the ring during the match, Joker in a diaper is a camera man for some reason, a plastic dolphin, a 51 year old man wearing a wooden barrel over his head and jumping from the top barrel (and that's not even the dumbest thing he does) It's completely stupid and brought me joy and it might bring you joy too. There's no necessary content. It's just dumb.

Reading the BBC article on the new strain it ends on a fun note: ""But if we let it add more mutations, then you start worrying," said Prof Gupta. "This virus is potentially on a pathway for vaccine escape, it has taken the first couple of steps towards that." Vaccine escape happens when the virus changes so it dodges the full effect of the vaccine and continues to infect people. This may be the most concerning element of what is happening with the virus. This variant is just the latest to show the virus is continuing to adapt as it infects more and more of us. A presentation by Prof David Robertson, from the University of Glasgow on Friday, concluded: "The virus will probably be able to generate vaccine escape mutants." That would put us in a position similar to flu, where the vaccines need to be regularly updated. Fortunately the vaccines we have are very easy to tweak." I like how it's like 'Terror' 'terror' 'terror!! TERROR!" then at the very end. Oh yeah it's easy to tweak the vaccines.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:So were you supposed to be taking them over on Xmas Day? Yeah it was Christmas care boxes. The process was you drive to the address, put on a fresh mask and fresh pair of gloves then ring the bell and leave the box on the doorstep, then you walk back to the pavement and sing a carol/talk to them from there when they answer the door. The Salvation Army is bit sus, especially on lgbt stuff, but it seems like a nice thing to do for people and I was really looking forward to doing it tbh. Seems like in a sane country the government would have been honest about what would be possible for Christmas instead of explictly lying about Christmas relaxations, letting people and charities make plans and spend money accordingly.

As bulletproof as they've been so far, the moment dead grannies started piling up would surely have broken through.
