This is true. In fact for most folk the "some risk" approaches 100%.
Pray for Zod? Not the crappy one from the new movies, the fabulous one from the 80's.
My daughter asked if any of the folk in the “recovered” column had previously been in the “dead” column.
She says that in the movies that is the first sign of the zombie apocalypse.
Needless to say, this is a statistic that I am now tracking with interest.
I don’t know. I don’t understand humour.
Maybe Boris should announce that you can't really mummify someone by wrapping them in bogroll.
Handy Tip: Don't use it as a face mask.
You need to get out more, clearly. Plastic can "do wonders for your face."
Pick up some more bog rolls while you are there!
We can, can't we!

Not in the UK, it isn't - where is this information from? All of the data that I have seen indicates that it is essentially non-critical for 0-10, non-fatal for 10-30, 1% mortality (due to other issues) for 30-50. (A bit tricky after that, up where I live) I have seen nothing (and believe me I have been looking) that substantiates it killing perfectly healthy young people.I had believed this, myself, also, except that I soon began reading articles in well respected periodicals that led me to question that assertion. It no longer seems to be the case. This New York Times article about two young women in China, both medical professionals and healthy mothers in their late 20's were both taken gravely ill; one died. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/13/world/asia/coronavirus-death-life.html?searchResultPosition=1 (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/13/world/asia/coronavirus-death-life.html?searchResultPosition=1)
In the UK the youngest victim to date is a 40-something with MND.
Don't get me wrong - some people die of ingrown toenails, too: some will die "of coronavirus" in the 0-50 age group but it isn't end-of-the-world scary for them, more like a lottery win in reverse. It is exactly the sort of story that news media like to chase down, however, so they can spread "human interest". I wouldn't be surprised if every single under-40 coronavirus fatality has a news story about them somewhere - that tells you that there aren't that many.
Looking at the global numbers, however, I stand by my statement that this new super-plague doesn't really pose a threat to young healthy folk. We oldsters, however ...
A friend of a friend works in a white goods store: they are getting people panic-buying freezers to provide somewhere to stash their stockpiles. They had to institute a "no more than 5 freezers per customer" rule!

Well you certainly have the hips for it, baby.
I've been told that they don't lie.
Would totally fit edge of buzzword. Mom was watching a let's say, ethnic interest film today on bounce, and every white character in the film spoke in football coach buzzwords.
BOUNCE is an OTA cross border network that plays movies without censorship. They get to say the golly word! On the negative side, no subtitles.
My roommate got sent home from his walk by the cops today. He does a 3 block loop, and they told him to go home.
So he can't go to work, and he can't do his full walk. This month he makes rent, but next month is a bit of a wildcard of terror for all of us.
Someone shot out a streetlight behind us, presumably to make crimes easier, and it was sparking pretty bad, It's raining. They have it shut off now, and I'm relieved they didn't shut off our power to do it.
That would have made an uncomfortable situation even more miserable.
I wonder about the pressure valves. I've heard child and spousal abuse have exploded.
A man I knew from various work related functions died yesterday in NYC. He was a nice person and accomplished in his field. Not a great deal older than me. I don't want to leave my house. It's getting too weird.
And now the U.S. gets to win the prize for the most infected. With a population a fraction of the size of China's. Lord help us.
We have so little trust in our leaders, and we have been brainwashed with and by "fake news", that we can no longer believe anything. We don't believe our own numbers, China's numbers, Germany's numbers or any numbers. (Russia? 3 Dead?)
Why? (1) Because we don't want to believe them, and (2) because the people publishing them have previously proved themselves untrustworthy. Especially foreigners. And Boris.
Personally, I think that the numbers are credible, and everyone is doing their level best to be honest, but because of previous behaviours they are simply not believed by most.
Chloroquine is not effective against coronavirus.
At least one person has died from inappropriately taking Chloroquine.
I don't follow this logic: if they did really well, they should have done better?
Remember that they were the first: countries with advance warning (Italy? Us? US?) couldn't/ can't contain it, even though they knew what was coming, but the Chinese could have had no idea what was coming. Hindsight is great, but not a (fair) basis for criticism.
Yup - this is where I started - if you habitually lie like a cheap Changi watch, no-one will believe you when it is important.
I'm still not sure that I follow you (probably because I'm not very knowledgeable about China's antics) but I am slightly concerned that you appear to be advocating abandoning public order and political stability: this is a very bad idea which would/ will become apparent when the virus clears. I am struggling to see what post-Covid UK looks like, let alone a post-breakdown China. And let's not forget, abandoning public order and political stability still may not have stopped the spread.
Nope. But changing between different kinds has a habit of being a little disruptive, and not the sort of thing that you want to be encouraging in the middle of a plague, where some sort of strategic leadership is imperative. I'm not sure that a sort of Pol Pot or Lenin "regime change" (or even a Saddam Hussein version) is what is necessary now in any country.
To be fair, coronavirus is the shitshow, and he doesn't get to choose for how long that stays around.
This should be in the "things I hate" thread.
That monitor looks sick. I'm still just rocking a couple 27" mixed models (ASUS and Viewsonic) from 6+ years ago but I'm definitely considering the curved widescreens when I eventually do upgrade (these still work fine so can't justify it).
Apparently we don't do contrails any more:

To heal the sick, right? I've seen several medical professionals respond by saying "this is what I signed up for."Harsh but true !!
Much clapping at 8pm this evening. Even our lot and we're usually knee deep in dinner.
Have to say, brought a tear to my eye. Seriously.
I’m extraordinarily irritated by this (not your actions, but the lunacy of “clap for careers“). We let CEOs pay themselves millions of pounds, while they pay the medical cannon fodder peanuts. We then make up the difference by giving them applause. As if these people weren’t heroes and heroines before coronavirus and won’t be afterwards, but they were ignored (and complained about, and sued) before the plague, and they will be again after the plague.
Clapping may make the public feel good, but kind words butter no parsnips. If we had any decency as a society we would reward them and value them all the time, not just when we are bored during lockdown; and we would show them that they are valued with money, not clapping.
Who knows, after we get over this very large bump, we might find ourselves in a much better world.
water is clean in Venice, smog levels are the lowest in decades. we found out that most meetings could just be an email.Hope so, but Humans being Humans ??? ???
now if we learn from this... that is the true question
1) I'm interested in what Trump means by the 2nd amendment is under siege?
2) China is just confusing me now.
3) Why do I feel that the situation is getting worse when the world is trying to tell me the opposite.

I don't find one person too upsetting, whoever they are and whatever they do. A moran is a moran, a rich bully is a rich bully and we have to just live with them.
What I find upsetting now, and will never forgive, is a nation that lines up in support of that person. That nation may rehabilitate itself at the next election, but I am not very positive about that possibility. All of the nation is tarnished by a "leader" that recommends mainlining bleach (and to buy products that his company sells regardless of their efficacy or health risk), while their staff - including "medical experts" are unable to contradict their glorious leader.
I cannot understand or forgive a party in an ostensibly "democratic" society that stands in lock-step behind a self-interested, authoritarian bully because they are so desperate to cling to power, no matter what the cost to their society and their country, let alone to the rest of the world.
I am desperately trying to avoid invoking Godwin's Law, but i think comparisons are unavoidable.

Never acknowledge - or even remember - a "gaff": If it is mentioned again it is:
(a) Fake news
(b) Taken out of context.
Again - this is typical of a bully, what bothers me is not the bully, but the folk that knowingly support and enable the bully.
By your reckoning just about every country leader is also complicit or at least complacent. If no one calls him out on his sarcasm claim and says not to talk such utter cowpoo, he'll believe he's got away with it again.
In reverse order: he has got away with it. He can't not get away with it.
World leaders: No, not all. Some are actively taking advantage without being complicit. The New World Order™ will give an awful lot more ground to the authoritarian leaders that America currently looks up to with admiration (institutionally, at least: has anyone even looked at Russia's published numbers?). But as far as BoJo goes, yes: complicit. Lap dogs abound.
My idea of a NWO is for everyone else to cut America loose, and for the rest of the world to learn to survive without Apple and Starbucks. Being bullied by a bully is never fun, and sucking up to the bully in the hope of crumbs is worse than starving. The WHO, the UN, NATO and all the rest need to learn to survive without US funds - at long last we should let (e.g.) the middle east sort itself out without the neighbourhood gorillas messing in the sandbox.

Seeing a lot of idiots saying salty air at the beach will kill the virus.
It does not.
A few years ago, a friend had a debilitating stroke requiring him to move back closer to his family where he has been living in a nursing home. I spoke with him on the phone about a month ago, and he'd had regular flu but was on the mend. It was a good conversation. Still, I've been worried about him. I just got a text from his sister that he's on a ventilator and has COVID 19 with a poor prognosis. We're all worried sick about him.
If you can send healing thoughts across the waters, please do. He's a really good guy and this is just so unfair.

Reinfection has become a concern, you may be asymptomatic the first time, but apparently the secondary infections are worse.
I really hope your test comes back covid negative.
"peace of mind".
I must be slow today.Well, you were lucky that day.
Imperial released some of their findings from that research I was part of and apparently 100,000 a people in uk are contracting the virus daily. I guess I was lucky then.
Well, you were lucky at the exact moment you did the swab.
It's official:

Western civilisation has reached the point where the general public doesn't know who to believe. "Science" is not a single block, and a lot of scientists publish according to their paymasters. The smoking debate established the parameters for this type of argument: science (and common sense, obviously) says it is bad for you, but some scientists can be paid to sow confusion. Intuitively we know what we should do, but we also know what we want to do, and if anything even vaguely official can be interpreted to support the latter over the former, we have a tendency to grab that with both hands and run with it. (... and then blame "the scientists" when out all goes pear shaped)
The trouble is that The Sniffle™ is not the zombie apocalypse, and people aren't afraid of the consequences of getting it (the fact that some people die doesn't bother the vast majority, as they are - probably correctly - confident that they won't): I have been watching sports reporting with some interest: when sportsman X gets it, the reporting is universally "how many games will I miss", not "OMG - what if I die!": catching it is viewed as a minor inconvenience that should be shrugged off and - where possible - ignored.
It really doesn't help that every single person that advocates (and/ or imposes) a lockdown doesn't have a clue how or when the lockdown will end: in all cases the lockdown is seen as putting off the inevitable, rather than eradicating the menace. I am beginning to suspect that the only globally available solution is to abandon those that are going to die, but to spread them out a bit so that the peaks don't look too embarrassing. (... whilst pretending that this isn't what is happening: some leaders are better at this pretence than others)

I have a friend whose son works at a grocery store as a checkout clerk. He has to undress and shower when he gets home, kind of like something in "Outbreak."wife has been doing this for months ???
I have always found that this is the best way to do it. Showering without undressing just makes a mess.
I can't say I saw much difference to central London today. It seems a lot of shops have caveats they can use to stay open - including the one I have recently fitted out. Saying that, traffic was halved so I could finally drive the van across the river to drop stuff off rather than being a slave to the delivery options.
Pubs are well and truly closed this time round, though.
I have no idea what it is like outdoors. I don't go there.
Servicemen/ women pray for war, as in war they can earn quick promotion and daily drudgery is minimised in favour of expediency and results.
I guess that the same is true in virology at the moment - there is many a quick route to a Nobel, and you don't have to worry about the usual health & safety nonsense: overall results are more important than losing the odd few volunteers.
You know, I'm sure I've told you at least once before I love reading your communicated material.
That's very gracious of you. There isn't a lot of it about, unfortunately.
There really isn't a perceivable lockdown this lockdown - at least not in London. That said, I think that there is good adherence to the rules now. This is mainly because there are no longer really "rules" but more just a way of life. Facemasks now live with your phone and keys.
Is this the Astrozeneca one? I think it can also be kept in a regular refrigerator unlike the others that require much colder storage.
Hi Dan. Glad you didn't die.
Hello hello. I am glad I did not die also.IRC was a lot of good fun but you aren't kidding about it sucking up time. Glad your doing well.
Dweez it was 3 years ago I jumped in here on a thread about the D and called you a poser for quitting IRC after I did. Sorry.
At that time I was married and wife was about a month preg so maybe I didn't even know we were expecting quite yet.
Quitting IRC was the best thing for me. I was quite unproductive sitting there waiting for people to talk sometimes (always had a job, but my free time was shot). I do miss it, I think we had some fun. Or I did. At the very least I've gained a couple of friends out of it all.
Forgive me dan, I editied your post to include christ's disappearing ink as I thought it sounded odd without it.
I've gotten used to seeing other people post replies that make no sense and figure they are either crazy or christ posted.
Wouldn't have mattered if people questioned if I was crazy.
So 14th December the Covid Vaccine will reach care homes and then as stated in Gov broadcasts.
All looking forward to receive it :o
It was guaranteed to be rolled out in some way next week so that would be earlier. Care homes must be 1st, surely?
I've never so much as had a flu shot....
well were off and injecting
Happy days! Did your missus get the jab?
And I think they're running out of hospital beds. The numbers are going up here, also. The French think that 2 metres = 24 inches.
I am hoping we can get a vaccine before we get sick. We are basically stuck here until travel becomes safer.
Apparently Los Angeles hit capacity.Its not nice.
I wonder whether without the virus Trump would still be holding office for the next 4 years?I wonder
He might still be, even with the virus. And not just 4: he may still declare himself El Presidente for life. And the Republicans would back him to the hilt, and the Supreme Court. He, and they, don't really care about the vote.
It appears to the layman that we are witnessing the death of democracy in the US: without invoking Godwin's law it appears that historical precedent is being ignored (or followed, depending upon which side one is).
I find myself lost for words when watching news reports about Trump and the GOP in general. It's not their actions that are bewildering, it's the political system. It makes no sense whatsoever for either of the main parties.what is the American term for Brexit I wonder ???
The one thing I have learned without a shadow of a doubt about American States, is that they are far, far, far from "united".
what is the American term for Brexit I wonder ???
As for Brexit, "gollee, dang, tha's anothah thang I don't get." Hope that's enough of a drawl for you.
....
Brexit blew my bless'ed mind when I first read about it. An entire ethos based on SPITE.
Now I'm not saying I love the EU, they do some poo that if they were working class would see their asses kicked, and rightfully so.
But no Nation, Commonwealth, Protectorate, what have you, should operate under the concept of JUCHE. That's some North Korean poo.
(edit: there is only one E in Juche)
I was shocked today how readily they capitulated to Viktor Orban, as his idealogy/politics threatens Europe far more than Brexit ever would.At a uneducated guess, Today may turn into a regular occurrence
My brother found out he has contracted it. Said he had a fever and body aches one day a few days ago and now has now sense of smell so he went to the Dr. and confirmed.
My co-worker also just found out he has been in recent contact with someone who just tested positive. I'm feeling like crud myself but it feels like the onset of a sinus infection (which I used to get quite a lot). Fingers crossed.
Gosport has just been promoted to “tier 3”.

Our Christmas eve takeaway curry is off as the staff tested positive. Thankfully we have back-up treats thanks to M&S.
Somebody shoot this bless'ed virus!
I want a California burrito.
I want to peruse goodwill for poo I don't need.
I put both dreams aside for prudence.
But holy golly I want that burrito.
So my local Indian Takeaway had to hire another chef and some other staff while the regulars are in isolation.;D ;D
My God the food was fantastic and the chef even phoned me up to ask how it was. I told him to move to Battersea.
;D ;D
May be there for a while
Tier 4 for all, wife had the vaccination, not turned Zombie at all :( :(
A symptom of Pfizer is itchy arm or / and a painful arm (varying degrees)
Hospitals short of staff as lots have caught the new strain, some offered vaccine, some not ???
Person we know is a doctors receptionist part time and her colleagues all have been given the vaccination, I find this unbelievable as unless you have been to the hospital and have a letter stating the doctor must give you a face time appointment you cannot even go past the door threshold. Whereas some front line staff haven't been offered it. :o :o.
Someone get a grip
I think I've seen this movie: is this the one where the police shoot anyone they see in the streets to enforce the curfew?European film by chance
On the upside, 29 in 30 don't.
Well I have just found out that someone else that I knew quite well has passed away from COVID. What's more alarming for me is that I found out due to it being a news article on the London BBC. I wasn't really paying much attention to the TV but then her name was mentioned and her niece was interviewed. Made me sit up for sure.
Her name was Jan Docker and she taught at my kids' primary at the back of my house:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-55554293
I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. I fear that the new strain will result in even more fatalities. I 'm more inclined than ever to stay home except for grocery shopping, and even to do as little of that as possible. Stay safe, everyone.
I picked my wife up from work on Monday as it was freezing and she has to walk about a mile and a half to get home. Between here and her work place I must have seen 200 joggers. As there was still remnants of the weekend's snow and that it was also pissing down, most of them were not running on Clapham Common (too muddy) but on the pathway around it. They were in bunches of 6+ joggers almost shoulder barging the pedestrians as they passed them. Now, the criticism of the government is they are not tough enough but these people are just stretching rules to beyond breaking point while staying within them.
Another thing that gets me about the media's reporting of lockdown "violations" is that none of the journalists report on each other. They are all for outing MPs, policement, even doctors occasionally. But never, so it seems, has a journalist ever done a thing wrong. I find that very hard to believe.
Rant over.
My missus had the Oxford jab today and she hasn't (so far) experienced any ill effects from it.thats good news
Big relief to be honest as now
My weekly trip to Waitrose to buy Saturday's paper is the big event of the week!
I have my appointment for the jab next Tuesday and I very happy about it. I don't suppose it will make any difference to the way I lead my life as my profession was always unaffected, but at least I can rest easy that TNG isn't going to get his grubby little hands on my monitor any time soon.
Touch wood.
Hope all continues to go well for you ....
I had mild lassitude for 72 hours: no pain, nausea or particular unpleasantness.
mrs. christ on the other hand has been a moaning minnie: nausea/ fever/ splitting headache/ interrupted sleep for 24 hours (so far).
Both Astra Zeneca.
I guess everyone reacts differently.
Well it's nearly a day later and I think I might have a little aching from the jab, but then, I always have a little aching from something so the jury's still out. Either way, I was definitely short changed in side effects.slight headache and aching neck, thighs.

Manchester ASDA? What happened - took the wrong turning at the North Circular?
I have a sneaky feeling that the poo's going to hit the fan again over here and we'll all be back to square one. Not that I think that mistakes are the cause - although they certainly contribute - I just think there isn't a real, long term solution so we're stuck in this depressing cycle.

Cancel these follow up variations, no one wants them.
Is it now truly so mild that people don't present the illness?
From the rising death toll in China, due to the Omicron variant, it seems this variant is no less deadly than its predecessors. The difference is that many people have been vaccinated and therefore have some immunity. The ones succumbing to it in China tend to be elders who have not taken the shots. Those who are fully vaccinated can carry the virus and spread it while infected but asymptomatic.
From what I've read, this is really not a good disease to catch. I still wear masks in public when I go out. There seems to be a lull of false security right now. It's entirely understandable as we're all sick of this COVID business and want life to go back to normal.
China is different as they were hailed for being able to halt any outbreak in its tracks by their excellent measures of locking people up in cages. While that may mean that the virus never really took hold in any given area of China (if we believe the numbers), but it also meant it that the community there hadn't been truly exposed to the virus with or without vaccinations. Most people I know here with COVID are on their 3rd or 4th bout of it. Even those that are unvaccinated have probably brushed shoulders with it a few times.
I heard a professional once say about Omicron, that it was a vaccine strain as catching would invariably give you the best antibodies. This just hasn't happened in China.
When not immunized, either via a prior case of the virus, or a vaccine, Omicron has proven to be as deadly as prior strains. This is a disease with long range effects like brain fog and one that can inhabit and cause problems all over the body. Personally, I would rather give it a wide berth. I have enough trouble remembering where I put my glasses without some pathogen adding to the problem. And I'm not all that keen on blood clots, either. The Mayo Clinic has a reputable site that gives good information on a range of health problems. Here's a link to their description of some of the long term problems reported even with mild cases of COVID.
They are lifting mask requirements in schools and other places around here, but most stores still have mask requirements, and I routinely wear a N95 when I go into public places. There's a couple of close friends that I visit without masks but we're all fully vaccinated.
I went to the theatre a couple weeks back and had to present proof of vaccination and wear a mask during the performance. The actors, of course, were unmasked. It felt strange to be sitting in seats next to strangers again but with this damned mask on. Lord knows I would like an end to this need to exercise caution everywhere. It's sad to see how many good restaurants have gone under due to the pandemic. I miss going out and dining, listening to live music, etc.
It hasn't ended, but the safety nets erected during covid in the US have been. I'm lucky that my insurance covers the vaccine updates and testing, but a lot of people are essentially shrugging their shoulders and wondering why they are down with a recurring respiratory illness.
I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, and if it wasn't critical, I'd have canceled it.
Yup. But just wait: the same will be true of living in America/ Gilead soon, and doubtless the UK will follow shortly after.Who can argue with Christ prediction. 8)
I know it's folly to make comparisons with life, but I'd rather be here suffering with COVID than I would just going about my business in eastern Ukraine or any part of Gaza.Plenty around, but a severe cold is the symptoms for most.
What surprises me, though, is that no-one seems to have actually noticed that Elon Musk is the living embodiment of Hugo Drax. Bond villains used to be so obviously over the top that they couldn't possibly be real, but seriously - what is the world going to do if it turns out that Starlink satellites have lasers targeted on earth? ironically I'm not sure that 007 is a solution in the real world, but wouldn't it be nice.
Actually it is quite thrilling watching the world turn to poo, as it is doing it in ways that I couldn't have imagined only ten years ago.
My post didn't say poo.Again you are Christ who posts the truth ;D ;D

I am glad that I am not American, though, so I am unlikely to live under a full fledged Dictatorship like they likely will soon. To take but one example: Marjorie Taylor Greene makes Suella Braverman look like an amateur: both with single figure IQs, granted, but one is all-in on her stupidity where the other is just taking baby steps.
