Case numbers today are looking great lads, very confident that dropping all restrictions in a couple of weeks is the best course of action!



Quick back of the fag packet numbers (OK I used Excel) give me 22,581 hospital admissions per week and 275,990 daily cases in 6 weeks time at the current rate of increase.

Luckily we're dropping all restrictions in 2 weeks so I'm sure that'll cause the numbers to change for the better or something.

Check the scenarios done by Warwick uni and Imperial as far back as the start of May.

Especially page 31 where it models higher infectivity roughly equal to delta. They don't account for the delay in restriction relaxation but do provide a pretty good insight into what's coming.

quote:


Boris Johnson warns of Jewish ‘exodus’ from Northern Ireland due to Brexit protocol he signed
PM blames disruption of kosher food supplies on ‘grossly disproportionate’ EU application of rules

Boris Johnson has warned of an “exodus” of Jewish people from Northern Ireland as a consequence of the protocol he agreed as part of his Brexit deal.

Mr Johnson told MPs the government had been approached by representatives of the Jewish community in the province who raised fears over supplies of kosher food under post-Brexit trade rules which the PM negotiated and signed in 2019 and which began coming into effect in January.

Giving evidence to the House of Commons Liaison Committee, Mr Johnson again attempted to blame disruption of food supplies on the European Union’s implementation of the new regulations.

etc


Several of the comments below the article point out that Kosher food is available in Dublin, 1.5hrs drive south of Belfast.

Also, couldn't kosher food be produced in Northern Ireland?


I think by "‘grossly disproportionate’ EU application of rules" Johnson means 'stick to the contract he signed'.


Also, what about halal food for muslims - apparently (to my surprise) I discover that muslims are the second largest religious community in Northern Ireland (article here mentions 4000 http://euroviews.eu/2019/2019/04/22/muslims-in-northern-ireland-are-sitting-on-the-fence/ )

We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.
There's nothing more cringy than people who think they're above a sports game. It's cool if you're not into it, whatever, but there's nothing to admire about being a pretentious misery-guts. The England football team is not the British government and it's nice sometimes to find something to have fun with and feel good about. I am qualified to say this as I very much used to be that teenage arsehole who thought only dumbasses enjoyed it, and now I have very much realised that was my own very pathetic classist 'I'm not like most proles' subconscious attitude coming out.

e: it's surprising how many people in my family immediately go to 'it's disgusting that footballers earn so much when nurses don't' when we talk about wealth disparity, completely ignoring the actual problem. Like ok complain that football shouldn't be the multi million pound industry it is, but that's not the players' fault and if someone offered me hundreds of thousands a month to do something I loved I'd jump at the chance. It's also one of the very very few jobs where working class kids can, if they're very very good and very lucky, become astonishingly rich, without the need for connections etc. I wonder if that's related to the above point, somehow.

vv Yes, exactly, if you're not into the game that's perfectly fine. Don't watch it. It's the people who sit there coming up with smug takes about how they're much more intellectual than all of this silly nonsense that annoy me.

TBH honest I hate football, didn’t watch tonight’s match or any others, and frankly find the idea of caring that one team won instead of another pretty weird, but I agree. People are enjoying themselves, let them.
