You could say it is…galling. It does suck. I was wondering about making private hospitals pay for post-op NHS care if needed but it would just incentivise them to leave anything remotely tricky to the NHS.

There's some loving magnificently joined-up thinking going on here. For some reason all of the vaccination sites in Tower Hamlets have stopped using the RVS for volunteer stewards in favour of using their own volunteering organisation[1] so I decided, because I feel like getting on the train to go volunteer in Hackney or Lewisham is kinda counterproductive, to sign up. They've got a big page begging for more volunteers urgently because they're so short-staffed, I go through the sign up process... and get told I'll need an enhanced DBS check. Also this check will take over 6 weeks. I mean I sort of get that the organisation generally - which does do work in schools and hospitals - would need that sort of cover, but this is to point at loving chairs in a pharmacy, something I've been managing to do for almost a year without noncing anybody. Oh well, looks like I'll be taking my elite asking-people-to-put-their-masks-on skills to Homerton or New Cross, and the borough of my birth will be deprived of the best natural-born teller-of-people-their-ten-minutes-is-up-and-they-can-go they ever had. [1] Now I don't want to say this was a result of the mutiny that I and another RVS volunteer led at the Mile End Art Pavilion site against the absolutely ridiculous check-in system they had that meant elderly and vulnerable people were queuing up outdoors in the pissing rain while dozens of chairs went unused inside, or the blazing row I had at another site with a supervisor who wanted me to tell people to just leave after five minutes because they couldn't be bothered getting more chairs for the post-jab waiting area, but I really don't have the highest opinion of that lot. They *do* get some very nice jackets though.

Within minutes of each other I got an email from North London NHS asking me to volunteer at their reopening mass centres, a text from RVS telling me they desperately need volunteers for shopping for people isolating, and a ping from the NHSBT app telling me they need my blood as soon as possible. Beginning to think I might need to get an agent to handle all of this demand.

Tried to go to a walk in for a booster today, the bristol one was totally overwhelmed. Got there about 0840 for a 0900 open, Waited for 90 mins before the volunteers walked around and told us that we were past the cutoff for the morning, and that we weren’t even guaranteed a spot in the afternoon. They had 6 jabbers and were managing about 100 jabs per hour, which is quite impressive! Unfortunately I had 3-400 people in front of me and had to get to work. I have one booked on the 30th anyway so no huge problem. I felt awful for the volunteers as they are obviously under a lot of pressure, but luckily everyone I saw in the queue was patient and friendly

The most important thing I've been allowed to change the layout of was the positioning of the emergency Mars Bars in the first-aid post at The Valley, because some idiot had left them on the windowsill. As to where they come from - there are *loads* of spare chairs, probably enough to constituted a surfeit, thanks to social distancing. If you go poking around the storage room of anywhere that has a lot of chairs you'll find huge teetering piles of them.

Lovely chat with my schizophrenic friend, I didn’t know about the immortal parasites in the vaccine, or the self-replicating graphene oxide. It’s turned everyone’s blood into a superconductor, and the booster is a stimulant to make the graphene oxide line up in your blood. Sometime between now and 2030, probably in 2025, there’s going to be a massive solar event, and then it’ll happen. What’ll happen, I asked? “I think everyone who’s had the vaccine will drop dead on the spot.” Evidence: - a 1963 film called Omicron about parasites being in your blood - that Omicron game with David Bowie someone posted recently - see the government having parties and that? That’s because they know there’s not a virus. When Boris claimed he had it that’s because they were testing a method to remove the parasites from his blood. - another name for a solar flare is a coronal mass ejection, you can’t tell me that’s a coincidence - for the past two years there’s been explosions all over the world, they make a pattern to send a message to space (not sure how this is connected, didn’t want to interrupt) This is all very entertaining until he says “…anyway Jesus and the devil say I need to kill you, so…” and pulls out his big knife.

I'm honestly surprised that there wasn't something like that already. There's been a thread of alt-right weirdness stretching back at least 150 years about animals with large testes excreting a lot of virilizing hormones in their urine, which can be consumed for manly vigor. Instead we got people misprescribing malaria drugs and drinking horse paste.

I got my flu and covid jabs today, flu first and the lady asked which arm I said left because I sleep on my right side When I saw the covid man he wanted to jab my right "in case you have a reaction, so we know which one it was" Currently flu jab is winning in terms of the muscle ache, although that may just be because it's had an extra two hours I'll keep you updated on the race and eventual winner, but I do know one thing for certain I'm not going to sleep well tonight!!!
