My comment was intended to embrace a wider context. Apologies for my lack of clarity.

And likewise for misinterpreting your post.

Hmm, that link doesn't work for me.

In case anyone else is having trouble.

Cheers, Sharky.   If this works out well, I wonder if vaccination parties (the fun ones, not the political ones) will be a thing.  Either way up, fingers crossed that we're looking at the beginning of the end.

[Funt Solo]

Aye, thanks for fixing the linky, Sharky.

I was trying to remember Churchill's speech after victory in North Africa over Rommel: "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

Sorry about the boken link people, I don't know why it wasn't working (though it was working fine on another forum).

Fascinated by how eager people are to ensure a third wave of this shite in the new year. Sitting here watching 600 deaths in the UK yesterday (that's over 25 times the average UK suicide and road deaths rate combined, BTW, "with Covid" fans) and my Irish news feeds are basically just people lobbying to have December be business as usual here. How can anyone look at European deaths today and think: "let's forget about restrictions, it's Christmas!".

Halfway through the current lockdown today, and I'm sick to fucking death of it. Not a single person I know personally is adhering to the guidelines, not one, and secondary schools are approaching 50% with confirmed cases and still effectively no testing in the school setting.  Meanwhile HSE just now *considering* including identifying sources of transmission in contact tracing, when this has been established as a priority goal for controlling spread since the spring. Another year of this beckons.

Take heart Mister Back. At least the guidelines on mitigating the spread where you are doesn't depend on Sínn Fein and the DUP agreeing on something.

Ach, please ignore my previous post.  I'm in a right grump this morning, bleating on about what's just part of everyone's life these days is pointless whining. Seeing viral posts about how the Army are mass-microchipping kids in schools when all this is going on, the repetitive stupidity just knocks me down, and sitting in the house alone all day I end up spewing out shite here.

If spewing out shite here is remotely therapeutic, carry on, TB!
