A few of the gym owners were getting on my tits, trying to make out they were performing a vital community and mental health service. Have people never heard of pressups?

 

"Gyms are safe" he says, in an enclosed space where bodily fluids are bountiful and everything is made out of metal and there's a workforce of three people available for cleaning. It's probably slightly safer than French kissing Mark Fowler after root canal.

 

I suspect the truth is closer to fitness wankers thinking covid only kills lazy people, and tackling it head on is akin to 'crushing' your 'PB'.

While the barbers were closed etc there was a fuckin' tattoo shop and a nail thingy open yesterday here, don't get what's essential about them.

All the anti-mask brigade are getting 'selfish arsehole' tattooed on their forehead. 

 

Not sure about the nails.

The cunts should do, i did want my nails done though but there was to many in there, so thought I'd leave it for now. 

She's cutting my hair again now, and as I'm not going out anywhere that'll do and my nails can wait.

Hopefully, though i think I'll have to wait till Spring for me to go back to propping up a bar again, that was until I read that Brazilian report.

Banana Republic 

 

 

A director of the PR firm paid £670,000 to write press releases for the head of Boris Johnson’s vaccine taskforce is a longtime business partner of Dominic Cummings’ father-in-law, a bombshell new report revealed.

It emerged on Sunday that Kate Bingham, who is married to a Tory Treasury minister, billed taxpayers £670,000 for a team of ‘boutique’ public relations consultants – Admiral Public Relations.

Since June, the Sunday Times reported, Bingham has used eight full-time consultants from the London-based PR firm to oversee her media strategy.

It was all part of the strategy to make the public sick of government.  Just like they tried in America, which hasn't worked, they just voted the Bannon Brigade out, and the same will happen here.  They already know they're going to lose in 2025, if they last that long even.

If the vaccine rolls out successfully and is shown to be safe, do you think we'll see measures which prohibit vaccine refuseniks from attending certain public events, using certain forms of transport and nations requiring proof of vaccination before granting passengers entry clearance? 

 

I think we might.

That will cause a lot of problems.

No, not at all.

For example, children will not be given the Pfizer vaccine as it hasn't been tested on them, but they are generally fine with covid anyway, so covid will be around.  

If you or I get a shot then it doesn;t matter if someone else hasn't, in theory.

Now that's a slippery slope.

Imagine telling Spy Bee he can't infect another country. They'd be braver men than me.

I caught the end of a news piece earlier that said, one of the issues with rolling out the vaccine is that it has to be transported at temperatures of -80c.

 

It may have been -18c but I'm sure it was the former. 

[Tj hooker]

Just saw a piece on the 6 o'clock news talking about its efficacy they were hoping for between 50 or 60% effectiveness but even they were surprised themselves when it hit 90% .

It's been tested across the world as well it really is quite an achievement if it really does what it says it does to get this far in so short a time .

[Dougie Do'ins]

How much a per inoculation ?

[niallers]

As long as any vaccine can reduce hospitalizations to standard flu levels, everyone may not need to take it. They're only looking for it to be at 50% efficacy so I guess their numbers are forecast around that fact

It’s almost like those people in charge of the policy, the scientists, got it right.  

[Barrington Womble]

Over 500 deaths today apparently. I'm finding it hard to believe the government stats at the moment. Last week the day before lockdown when they needed to remind the public to behavez it was just on 500 too. Today after the news about the vaccine and they want to remind everyone to behave, it's the same. I think they're just manipulating the numbers to suit whatever their latest requirement is.

Nah, numbers always go up on a Tuesday as they catch up with the weekend.

That would only be the case if its efficacy was 100%, Shirley?

 

The more people that refuse to take it the longer it'll take to achieve herd immunity, I suppose.
