Covid in the house and the hospitals

[OnlyOneRealAlbion]

Alas the beastly virus has arrived in the Spandau house.

Spandau Junior started coughing on Sunday as we were putting the decs up and made him do a test. He was positive. In the next couple of days both my wife and daughter have tested positive, but somehow I've avoided it.

Junior has a cough, Mrs a bit fluey and daughter totally fine. All very mild.

Now though the house is some freaky OCD place with me using my own towel, sleeping in a different bed and hand gel/masks etc are the norm, and Flash wipes are there all the time too.

I put my avoidance of it down to pure luck. Once it became clear my lad had it we were clinical in acting clinical. 

I had the booster this week, my wife is double jabbed, daughter single jabbed and son not at all. Ironically, all 3 were due jabs this week, but can't have them now.

Meanwhile my cousin whose best mate is a doc at a leading hospital spoke to his mate this week. This doc, who is in a hospital in London, reckons 80-90 per cent of those in ICU in his hospital are non jabbed, and a lot of them under 50 and relatively healthy beforehand. He does add though that at least half in the hospital have had 1 or 2 jabs, but most of them are less serious.

I hope that stat demonstrates the sense in getting jabbed, but alas I know those who haven't done so so far probably won't listen as they are so sure the vast majority of us are just being brainwashed by the lizard people.

Of course, because to have a very well informed and researched difference of opinion to the Government and Big Pharma dominated narrative (based on huge amounts of peer reviewed research and the testimony of many hundreds of top doctors, including numerous Nobel Prize winners and the very inventors of the technology used in the most widely used tests and the jabs themselves) naturally means that person believes other people are being 'brainwashed by the lizard people'.

Well me and the mrs have decided to live like Hermits for the next week or so. No pub, no footy anyway, working from home. All to ensure no Covid hiccups that would prevent us from seeing family over Christmas. I aint doing that again.

Yeah, we've just said the same - more important to have a fully attended xmas day and boxing day for both halves of the family.

+0.5. 

We were due a "lads" day out in Brum tomorrow, and I was due out in Manchester tonight. 

Instead I travelled down to Walsall last night, LFT'ed, as have all the lads, and we are now having a football day at one of the chaps houses. 

Its not perfect, but its so much more controllable.

I’ve got a ticket to see The Libertines tonight in London but have decided it’s not worth the risk. Praying for a last minute cancellation as you can’t give tickets away at the moment.

There's no guarantee Pete Doherty would turn up anyway!

All the very best to you and your family Spandau. Had my booster yesterday at the Lye drop in centre. Struggling to understand how some think the vaccination process is a conspiracy by the Government. I appreciate that Politicians aren't the most trustworthy lot, but just get the vaccinations that are on offer, and do your bit so we can get back to some normality.

When there's millions of people there will always be an element of utter pricks.

I just heard in the past hour the only conspiracy theorist I know has got a dose. Being unvaccinated it might well hit him hard.

He's a financial advisor in his 50s living in a leafy village on the edge of Solihull, but he's a nut job. Shame as his wife is quite nice and still a friend of my wife's. We got to know him through the kid's early schooling but I soon backed off when I realised he is a right wing loon full of crazy stuff.

Don't wish it to seriously harm him, but do enough to make him realise what a total tool he is.

Ah, you wish harm on somebody who does not share your opinion on a particular subject! Disturbing stuff.

Probably the worst way to gain a group of friends and I also speak from experience here. You gather your mates over a lifetime of shared experiences, be that going to the football, or from school / college / uni etc and you don't realise how you have probably filtered them naturally. Starting to go to nights out with people who's only connection is that each couple produced a sprog within the same 12 month period and they live near you does not mean they have anything else in common. Big mistake, take my advice for the younger ones on here, say hello at the school gates and be polite. If they ask you out for a couples night out punch them in the face, it will save a lot of time.

Another charming gentleman!

What a complete fucking mess this is

How did a mass vac & booster program end with huge rise in cases ?

Either someone is fibbing or the vacs were pointless in the first place

Cant be both

South African experts are saying its not as bad just spreads easier 

What is the truth?

Careful with asking such common sense questions in this place.

Not even subtle was it?

Couldn't you have just played along a little? Would have livened up my Friday afternoon.

I was considering it to be honest Ted but I've had 2 and a half days of back to back meetings (I know it's hard to believe that I actually work as well) and need to do some catching up

Is that safer than the 2 metre rule?

This bloke, your kindred spirit seemingly, terrorises his wife and holds utterly vile extreme racist views. His son ran away at 16 to get away from his anger. He is an utter arsehole. As I said, I don’t wish him dead but some sense in his poisoned head. 

As for defending ‘common sense’ try to do some proper research into the effects of vaccine or non-vaccine. Your answer should conclude if you’ve any common sense yourself.

Incidentally, my family are all doing well as if they’ve had a mild cold. Thank heavens for vaccines of all kinds.
