i dont drink tap water as taste like shite lol

It's easier to pour into bottles, rivers, add to food, or tranfer via fleas airdropped over you anyway.

and yet we are still here same as the rats lol

Even as we squeak... I expect some lab somewhere is working on a contagious vaccine - what could possibly go wrong?

[Jesus H Christ]

you either fight for your rights or you wont have any

It‘s folks like you who undermine people’s rights by abusing systems intended to help those in need. This results in a tightening of regulations to close down the abuse. Unfortunately, it’s usually the genuine people who suffer the most as a result. You have a sickness of mind tuned to exploit the welfare systems, to grab the maximum in return for contributing the minimum, so your kind will usually find a way to continue being a parasite.

I doubt you have ever had anyone dismissed from their job, as you allude to earlier. That would require you to, make an effort, have an ability to communicate at an appropriate level, posses credibility, and to be respected. All are absent.

After spending tens of thousands of million pounds to line the pockets of their chums, would it hurt the government to throw a few quid in the direction of the volunteers at vaccination centres? Some of these people are stood out in the rain in return for nothing. The private companies organising the volunteers are being paid handsomely!

I know the majority don’t do it for pay, but whilst so many see the pandemic as an opportunity to get very rich very quickly, and do, the volunteering model seems wrong. Pay them or allow them to donate their earnings to a charity. Don’t pay a private company to do a job using a volunteer workforce. I’ve deleted the Good Samaritan App. I’m done with the entire scam / clown show / clusterfuck.

One dead due to Omicron! Take cover, only 55,999,999 to go.

I noticed Boris was fairly careful what he said about this person yesterday, his words were something like one person has dies with Omicron. Now that really doesn't tell us very much, it could be Omicron that killed them but on the other had the person could have died of anything but also just happened to have Omicron.

I don't know if we are now testing all hospital admission for Omicron but I know in South Africa that is what they have been doing for some time. So when you see lots of people in hospital in SA with Omicron it sounds more worrying than it actually is because a lot of those people have gone into hospital for other conditions and just happen to have Omicron.

It's difficult and perhaps dangerous to read across what is happening in SA will happen here ie. Omicron is not proving to be anything like as serious (so far) as the previous 3 CV waves they have had there, but all the interviews I have seen from their health experts say the disease seems much milder than Delta.

We will get some deaths I am sure, and many anti vaxxers with end up in hospital but I am still optimistic that Omicron could mean the virus is going to transition into something similar to the common cold, I hope so anyway.

Having had a worrying tightness in my chest for about a month, I decided to stop slow jogging for a bit, erring on the side of safety... Three days ago, I started eating three raw garlic cloves within 10 minutes of chopping into minuscule cubes (1mm sides, or thereabouts - eaten within 10 mins on cold food preserves allicin) using a sharp knife, sprinkled over my daily meal - and the tightness is almost completely gone. Weirdly, it's also improved my mood. I'll keep my raw garlic regime going for a week or two, then go slow jogging again. I find alternating between 2 weeks of weight loss and 2 weeks of exercise, usually works well for me, I do know what you mean about feeling weak dieting, but for me it's only for a couple of weeks - then it's eating normally and exercising again. Eating smaller meals much more slowly might work, if it's particularly delicious? Aiming for lower calories, and the same enjoyment? Bear in mind I'm just some random dude on a message board...

My blood pressure is much lower now, post lardiness, but my pulse pressure is too high - aerobic exercise (and further fat loss) will slowly sort that out.

If you are considering such possibilities, some suggest that around 400 mg of magnesium a day has a significant impact on afib. (Choosing a form which is well absorbed - not magnesium oxide which affects the gut but hardly absorbs at all.)

Perhaps I should have made it clearer regarding the Omicron death.

The gentleman in question was found dead by a neighbour. He was naked, lying in a plasterer’s mixing tub full of olive oil with a ligature around his neck. He’d also got a screwdriver up his bottom which in turn was connected to the mains electricity supply. Dickinson’s Real Deal was playing on a continuous tape loop. The subsequent post mortem indicated he had the Omicron variant of COVID.

A straight forward omicron COVID death by the sounds of it.

Tried it. Got a cupboard full of the stuff.. Thanks.
It might keep folk in rhythm who are borderline but it's not a cure..
Same as with most things, Internet is awash with remedies that have all worked for someone. Somebody has a few palpitations and next thing they have self diagnosed AF, then they find a cure... For something they didn't have in first place.
Two things work for me. Cardioversion, electrical reset of heart, but I only get 2 or 3 months... Cardio Ablation, worked for about 10 months but said all along I, d need a second... But since waiting list is getting longer and longer because silly feckers refuse vaccine I, m having to wait another 6 to 9 months. (waited 6 weeks for first)
Second should give me 5 years in rhythm. ... So consultant says.
In mean time taking it very very steady on bike and thanking it has a nice high setting.
Thing I have noticed, I, m convinced I, m fitter cycling than anything else. I reckon leg action helps circulate blood.???
Just going now...
I tried all sorts of things first few years in AF, just try and forget it now and get on with it.. If I don't go anaerobic I, m sort of OK.. Just have to stay at 60% or so.. Can still sail and bike, just have to have a different attitude. Plenty of breaks, good food, plenty of sleep, no alcohol..

Dominic Raab said this morning that there are 9 patients in hospitals with Omicron.
Today is the day that Omicron will take over Delta, I would have expected an Omicron wave as big as Delta but apparently not yet.
I am generally for erring on the side of caution and covid preventative measures but, is it a case of expecting a renewal of one past success story? Like Boris bikes, Boris buses so why not Boris airport, Boris bridges?

Do they make it up as they go along. Its an important measure. Then they wonder why people believe fake news and BS..

I would be pretty sure that they are NOT testing for Omicron Variant routinely. Doing that type of analysis is very slow and expensive. So sampling is done instead. They will be routinely doing the PCR test for general COVID,which should be picking up any of the variants. There are less than 10% of samples are given the full analysis. A particular sample can be earmarked for full analysis by the virus reference laboratory, if it shows an abnormality.

Back of fag packet calc... using whatever those numbers you've quoted are: 322,632 ADRs

76.3% of the UK is vaccinated = 53,410,000

= 1 in 165.54464529246943886533263904386 chance of an ADR... the probability of death by Covid-19 is far higher than that,

No it isn't, it's 1 in 458, barely over a third of the risk you quote.

Plenty of breaks, good food, plenty of sleep, no alcohol..

A good recipe for all manner of ills.

You credit him with too much.

Boris buses have been and are a costly disaster. Due to be scrapped at 12 years old, a tiny fraction of the life of the RT (35 years) and RM buses (30 years).

And the bike hire scheme was inherited from Ken Livingstone when he lost that mayoral election.

Everything Boris has been a failure, except campaigning FOR a failure, leaving the EU.

I can feel your pain .. not literally, but figuratively. I have been extremely fortunate in my medical treatment, and hospitals running at capacity, blocking urgent treatment due to ignorance and hubris is very hard to take . In my case I haven't been up on the bike for now months. , But Insure I get a walk in daily.

Yep, I, m quite lucky aswell. Got a mate who lapses in and out of AF, when he, s in it he operates at around 20%....odd but I seem OK til perhaps 60%...but it's permanent. Just done a 34km bike ride tho... 500m height gain... Just under 2 hours.. All in highest setting. Thank goodness for ebike. Its flat now tho, red light 10m from van.
Had to charge up half way around... With a meat pie... Couldn't have finished without it.

you either fight for your rights or you wont have any

Unfortunately there are those among the present living only so far because their stupidity has not been enough to negate dumb luck.
Being such an inadequate adult that it is necessary to believe anything that supports their irrational fear of a little prick, and cowardly evasion of responsibility by drug taking and being work shy
Only results in them being big pricks.
