How are you celebrating Thatcher's and Currie's birthday this year? I'm booked up for COVID booster and flu jabs at Waitrose (it's also my late aunt Olive's birthday).

Don't think I have anything for that date in my diary at present. Happy to send Aunt Olive a birthday card if she weren't late. I follow the now weekly figures produced by .gov, and the MSOA in which I live and the neighbouring one (I'm just on the boundary) have now reached the enviable 'white' category (fewer than 3 cases in the last 7 days). The Bristol city rate is now 2.5% of what it was last January. I still wear my mask in shops and don't consider the pandemic over. I shall get my booster when my practice tells me when to go.Originally posted by Bryn View PostIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

My GP surgery texted me a few days ago to invite me to book. October 13th was the earliest date on offer to me. I just hope the local bus services are staffed sufficiently to run that day. It's all a bit of a gamble of late here, as elsewhere.Originally posted by french frank View PostComment

I get ever more annoyed that "right-thinking" people thought we shouldn't party when Thatcher popped her clogs. I reckon we should reinstate an annual celebration on that date.Originally posted by Bryn View PostComment

I think prevalence is still estimated by ONS survey. Government public health has "given up", but outside government many are still pushing for mitigations. (For example, the Independent SAGE group...)Originally posted by Dave2002 View PostComment

Interesting, but seemingly no cause for additional alarm yet.Originally posted by french frank View Post
Curious how my quote has been taken from another thread - which maybe explains a feature of these boards which has puzzled me for some time on occasions.Comment

Your quote related to this thread rather than the economics thread, so I copied it over rather than introduce an off-topic post there! So human agency rather than smart software.Originally posted by Dave2002 View PostIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

I'm not sure how to take this one. Interesting. I'll have to read it a few more times.Originally posted by Bryn View PostComment
