every year you will get more and more tired and less and less able to do the stuff you used to like to do (especially the silly poo poo, like staying up too late or drinking too much or eating an entire cake or whatever)

Given the Graun's long-standing history of outspoken transphobia, it's rich of them to moan about the mental health of the nation.

I mean, it might be rich of the Graun to host that article, but the article itself was written by a working clinical psychologist, and there's certainly nothing objectionable in the article itself (and a lot that is commendable)

I get the feeling that people are going to be sick of this within about 5 days.

I'm not saying anything in particular about this, but it seems as if a lot of people are already a bit tired of all of the mourning. Most of the FB comments on things getting cancelled are along the lines of "why"? "Normal" peoples opinion seem to be firmly in "why would this happen, stop being daft".

and the only things that started to reverse that trend were

Highly specific-case but in case this applies to anyone else in the UK (other than me):

I've just found out that if you live with an immunosuppressed person, you can book a seasonal booster, even if you're under-50, even if you yourself aren't immunosuppressed/clinically vulnerable

Otherwise we non-olds are basically poo poo out of luck (until cases go through the roof this autumn and the government panics, but I wouldn't trust the Truss government to spell 'covid', let alone know what to do about it)

One of my friends had a party on the weekend and literally everyone has been floored by covid. Not particularly gentle either, they all feel like total poo poo, shortness of breath, rashes, the works. I'm the only one who escaped, and that's probably only because I caught it a couple of months back and am still presumably swimming with antibodies.

It's bad, and it's only going to get worse as time goes on for under-50s as antibodies wane, and the fact that the government has no plans to roll out the booster to everyone is deeply, deeply stupid

which, given the topic of the thread today, shouldn't come as a surprise

but still

TACD posted:

Quick question about the COVID booster thing, is there a distinction between “immuno-comprised” and “severely immuno-compromised” when I go to book it?

Basically for the vaccinations last year I was in the group that got a text message invitation to an earlier session thanks to my coeliac disease, which is an immune-related condition but I wouldn’t say is “severe” in that regard. Does getting those texts mean I’m also eligible to book a booster now or is it only for a more severely compromised group?

Honestly no idea! If you'd been invited before then you'd probably be eligible again, but I don't know for sure. My partner has rheumatoid arthritis and is on immunosuppressants so she's had, I think, three primary and a booster, so it seems obvious she's still eligible.

What I would say is that there's likely to be significant surplus in supply since no-one seems bothered about getting it. Cos covid's over. So don't feel guilty about fudging it a little

The annual tradition of throwing pennies dates back to when the local gentry enjoyed the view as the poor burnt themselves trying to pick up hot coins, according to the British Film Institute (BFI).

In more recent times, the pennies are simply made warm.
