I was out running with a group on Thursday. Two people in that group now have coronavirus. I have tested myself and it’s negative (for what that is worth). How far back is the rule for isolation? Do I need to do anything else? There seems to be very little / nothing in terms of guidance.

An astronaut travels through space. Sir Beard has only dipped his toe in the far reaches of the upper atmosphere. He hasn’t actually traveled anywhere. The lines which you define are human set goals for the award of trinkets. I wouldn’t class those who have orbited the Earth as astronauts in...

Those boundaries are just arbitrary lines in the sky decided upon for political purposes.

IT-Al-Y Brexit was supposed to make En-ger-land win. I’ve been conned.

Technically, you may be right, but I think anyone who has left Earth orbit and travelled to the Moon is a spaceman / astronaut :-) I don’t count those beige chino wearing guys with enormous moustaches aboard the space station as astronauts.

Sir Beard’s environmental impact doesn’t matter because he’s very rich. It’s the job of the very rich to tell the little people, like you & I, how we should live our lives for the benefit of the planet.

It’s today that business magnate Sir Richard Beard straps himself to one of his fireworks and goes into space* *It’s not really space because it isn’t high enough.

Looking at the hospitalisation data, the profile of the curve seems exactly the same as with the two previous COVID surges. The vaccine appears to have added to the delay between infection and going into hospital, but ultimately, things look to be heading in the same direction as before.

This sounds exciting.

This is what puzzles me. I don’t think there is wide spread desire to lift all Covid safety measures. I think people are pretty much ok with the way things are at present and they don’t think going any further is wise or safe. So why are they doing it? I’m not convinced the link between...

It makes no sense to me. I can understand some of the covid measures being eased, such as those in schools, but why scrap the wearing of face masks on public transport? Why? Imagine being a bus driver. How must the drivers be feeling as 19/07 approaches?

Johnson has bet absolutely everything on the vaccine. He has nothing else. If he doesn’t win, our losses are going to be very heavy. My fear is, the vaccine isn’t a very good hand.

Infections have risen to 36000 cases today. What will that translate to in terms of hospitalisation in a weeks time? And what will the combination of Euro celebrations and the scrapping of all Covid measures translate to in terms of infection rates? How can this end well?

I’ve had a niggling doubt confirmed today. If I use the NHS Covid App and check into a venue, my presence at that venue isn’t cleared from the system until 23:59:59 that day. So, if I check into a Café at 10:30 am and leave at 10:45, the App thinks I’m still there at mid-night. There is no...

It doesn’t matter if they re-ignite, you are just as dead after the first fire. In fact, the second and third fires could save on cremation costs. What’s not to like? Stop whittling.

I think the England team is going to have a tough game against Italy. I’d have disqualified them for the “fans” booing the Danish National Anthem. Disgusting & infantile, but that’s football.

I’m no expert, but would new infections cease once everyone has it? Or would people start getting reinfected again? I don’t know. Both are pretty bleak. I think 100K infections per day and < 500 being popped by the virus each day is something Johnson could live with. He’d make that sacrifice...

He looks like one of those mong kids that’s won a competition to go to a match and lick a footballer’s face. The fat twat.

This is definitely not going to end well. I’m almost certain they are going to blow the advantage we had with vaccination. They blew the early warnings we were fortunate to get when COVID first struck in mainland Europe in 2020. We will be back to square one by November. It’s pitiful.

Anyone notice that the expendable plebs are packed into the stands like sardines at Wembley, whilst those in the VIP box, who’s lives are worth more, are still seated over 2M apart.
