Definitely not how I pictured Iceman and TK. Can see why he's got a fit Hungarian girlfriend now.

I’ve been ill throughout the Christmas break, started to feel it the day after Boxing Day.

 

Might have been just a cold but if so was probably the worst one I’ve had in many years, completely floored me and I’m still not back to normal yet, but there has been some improvement at least.

 

Anyway, had a PCR kit delivered, did it straight away and sent it off,

 

Appears to have been lost in the post. 
 

Can’t track it whatsoever, so currently sat twiddling my thumbs and Isolating to be sure, with no clue if it was Covid or not

 

This fucking country.
 

Got bottles of Christmas Booze just sat there unopened, taunting me.

Have you got a walk in place near you mate? Might be worth trying that

Not really sure it’s worth it now as I’ve got two or three days left of isolation so I’m not coming into contact with anyone else….and I’m fed up of the whole bloody thing to be honest.
 

Would probably show as negative now, even if it even was Covid, as I finally seem to be over the worst of it. 

 

The one thing I do know is that when I’m better this definitely isn’t going to be a Dry January.

 

Cant wait to start on the WhiskeyBitch

This sounds fairly similar to me mate and I’ve done lateral flows and a pcr and was negative. The pcr took 3.5 to 4 days to return the result as well.

I've got the news on in the background and Biden is doing his equivalent of the Johnson rallying call. I can barely understand what he's talking about. Every sentence he fucks something up. What a fucking world we live in where Johnson, Biden and trump are the people we choose to lead us.

I rarely post in here because, well, you know.

 

But just to be clear, insults are bad now yeah?  Cos you've been fairly liberal with them on that thread you don't like. 

Insults as a substitute for listening are never fine. I have, however, seen you make cunty posts and I've seen you make moronic posts, so I'll call them out for what they are and for what they say about you.

It always staggers me that when that cunt visits a hospital they always wheel out a line of nurses, drs etc to shake his hand.

How they dont spark him out is beyond me.

They get lent on by the bosses, although half of me thinks they are worried about retaliation against the NHS if they don’t play the game.

 

Saw this on Twitter and it brought a smile to my face.

Apparently the Government are to announce that if you have a positive LFT  you have to register it and you won't need a confirmatory PCR according to Sky.

Yeah, they’re running out of PCR capacity and it’s going to look fucking awful when that dawns on people that despite the amount of money they have given away we can’t actually do the basics.

I only managed to get a follow up PCR yesterday after a positive lateral flow on the 30th. Website would tell me there were no available walk in appointments but they could send them to me. After filling in all the information there was suddenly none available to send either. It doesn't even save the information you have to put in each time.

 

Positive again so stuck here a bit longer. It's my own fault for breathing British air. 

[Spy Bee]

I don't dounbt any of these quotes from clinicians, but it's been like this every winter for years. The capacity has been so tight to the demand, and a bad winter saw hospitals announcing emergency measures regularly. With the staff absences things are no doubt even harder. 

 

It does seem that the numbers in London are starting to fall quite rapidly, and hopefully this pattern is repeated across the country and the pressures are reduced quite quickly.

You mean they’ve wasted our money again? Well, I for one am shocked I tell thee, shocked!

Yep, yet another example of their mismanagement  and sheer incompetence of the whole shit show.

Prick.

I can't help thinking I'm largely to blame for this. I got a PCR kit through the post, but the plastic vial of fluid was missing. I phoned up and got a second kit, which I completed and returned. Two days later, I found the vial from the first kit; I'd dropped it and it had rolled under the couch.

 

That's where your £37 billion went; under my couch.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a couple of weeks yet. If we get to the last week or so of January, I think we might then start to see numbers of cases tailing off.
