Lockdown/Covid Check In

How is Lockdown treating yas?
A tropical Captain Morgan and I are getting acquainted tonight. Its mango and pineapple flavour with diet lemonade. Delightful. Gone off gin. Won't go overboard (boom boom) tonight, just a little drinkypoos during a zoom!
I know we are still in lockdown but I swear the schools being open makes it feel like the old normal. This I can cope with! -
@r-l yeah discovered a chicken shack nearby last night that does burgers and chips just like Oporto from my Sydney days, went down bloody well with rugby and beers. Cheeehooo

@r-l Situation since the start of March much, much better. Seeing more people again, more friends getting in touch, I've returned to my place of work, kids able to be with their friends a bit, almost everyone I know over 50 has had the jab at least once, great 6 Nations, rhythms of life returning. I think we are only a few weeks away from normality again in the UK.

@catogrande I think we'll be getting COVID jabs and wearing masks in crowded environments for years. Not sure there are going to be many holidays to Continental Europe in 2021. But apart from that I think the COVID crisis itself will mostly be a thing of the past in the UK by May/June.

@catogrande Getting used to it. I think it makes sense in confined airspaces where you can't ventilate like a taxi, a bus, a plane or the tube.

That’s my slightly irrational fear. I don’t want to end up like many of our Far Eastern friends. It’s the danger of meeting a fugly girl but with nice eyes. Too high a price to pay.

Gotta hold our nerves. Cases will go up soon as Europe has shown. Gotta keep tabs on the hospital / icu / death stats. Cases should not be relevant.
Agreed. There was an important fact in a post on another thread about vaccine efficacy. None will 100% prevent you catching it but all will pretty near 100% prevent hospitalisation or death. Making the virus manageable.

Important discovery.

did you go to the pub on the first day? or waiting until the hair and nails were sorted?
-
@mariner4life there's a nice country pub by me but even that's going to be full of riffrafs sitting outside it at the moment... So no, i won't be going to any pubs. I'll let them all calm down a bit first before a Sunday lunch outing.
Nails and hair just for me. -
@r-l
Sitting outside.
In England.
In April!!!!!!!??
GRETA WAS RIGHT!

@dogmeat How dare you!
I think that just being allowed out at all might be the key to it. Rain, hail or shine.Besides they're British, they'll talk about the weather, complain about the weather, then go out in the weather (now that they are allowed to).
Piss taking aside, my Father in law needs to get out since my MiL died 4 months ago. I think he is losing it. It has been close to solitary confinement.

That's tough for the old bugger. One of the uncounted costs of lockdown.

Just sayin'.
