Any relation to Jean-Claude Van Damme?

Hope he is OK, but there is a real irony about this, far more than anything Alanis Morissette could pen!

It sounded like it: Instead he celebrated at home "dancing around the living room with a beer".

Thought you were going to say dancing on the ceiling to Lionel Richie.

Nikki Sturgeon tests positive for Covid.



Get well soon First Minister. Sturgeon will as per government guidelines now isolate for a period of time and her close contacts are all getting tested to limit the spread.

Like I said, would like to compare to ONS data when it catches up. That has only just got to the end of March. Now if you do not mind, I would like to enjoy the rest of my time in Portugal.

I completely forgot to look back at this data when it became available, and as much as I suspected, Daily deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate by date of death 7 day average on the 21st April was 148.4.

You might be “again” but I won’t be

Nor will hardly anyone else.

Nor will hardly anyone else.

You wont ever get me in a mask or being locked down again.

Here's news. For the rest of time, covid will be on the rise for about 6 months of the year and on the decline for another 6 months. If we wait for the time when the numbers are exactly the same day after day, then we will have to wait beyond eternity.

Dunno. Reckon some might think enough damage has been done.

Maybe destroy the economy a bit more ?

shove your covid

My suspicion is there won't be any further Covid restrictions put in place but if you do have to wear a mask on public transport come Winter then stop moaning and wear one.

I didn’t think you ever wore one, or stayed locked down anyway ?


Anyway…

Twice in the last month I’ve had all the symptoms of covid, dry chesty cough, cold like symptoms, fevers, sore throat. But all lateral flows have been negative. Very odd as it’s been so close together and generally I’m rarely ill but it’s knocked me for 6 both times now.

I did have covid in Feb as well

Scotland's Heath Minister has urged the country to 'hold their nerve' amidst the current wave but if cases remain high I can certainly see a return to legislation on ask wearing indoors and on public transport.

I don't think they can. The temporary provision covered by the covonavirus act 2020 expired on 25th March 2022.

Any legislation brought in would have to go through a full act of parliament procedure.

At least in England
