That's a bit of a b*gg%r Orcs

Thank You on others behalf.

On drivers... when I was at work...
Several Guys would try to 'wriggle' out of anything...
Another would sing Horst Wessel in loading bay... (good acoustics!)... but good at job and I think he was OK... just would not have wanted to cross! Was into Milltaria. and had a bit from Wittman's Tiger!
Another really nice lad 'broke rules' to help customer.. and got sacked... because 'expedient' to management.
All sorts around.

Hi

Came across this purely by chance when visiting La Camb (German Milatary cemetery) in Normandy a few years ago:



Cheers Paul

Daughter, son-in-law and 2 small grandsons (2.5 & 0.5) are currently trapped in a pitiful cycle of infection and re-infection - it's been going on for the last 3 weeks - once one of them gets over it one of the others gets it. It's probably because the smalls haven't been vaccinated ... but it is so debilitating and they are all trapped in a small house.
Thankfully the baby just has a terrible cough but his older brother is very much under the weather 

I'm avoiding going out again (for the moment) - I'm not risking getting it.

Children are being sent into the school my wife works at, even though they, or their family members, have Covid. No wonder cases are rising rather fast there .

Looks like a push for herd immunity.

A friend in the know told us another surge is coming here in Ohio. So far we've dodged the bullet - thankfully, because my wife's in the vulnerable group. She lost a friend to it in January. We wear masks in public, and it seems most other people are still doing so.

We are the same about mask wearing - I've lost a number of clients to the disease, a couple of them young and seemingly very fit. I also have a number of colleagues who have now got Long-Covid (or Post Viral Fatigue - which is what I have been managing for the last 5 years) and a couple of those colleagues will probably never return to work. It is frightening what the long-term effects of this pandemic will be.

Was out shopping this morning.

With mask on the first three shoppers I passed were maskless, all young and not in company with each other.

On a recent ASDA shop, probably only 5% of people were wearing masks, even older folks weren't .

Would advise to continue 'protective measures' for a while, yet.
Had 2 vacs and Booster.
I always Mask and glove for shopping... but when I run out of stocks, will maybe not renew.
Vulnerable Ma not now an issue.

Have 'gone out' for meals / pub, etc... we have to continue 'life'.

Myself...as far as I know, I have never had Covid symptoms... and test negative.
However... have just been feeling Really S**t for about 2 weeks, now. Maybe had a mild dose which may have left residual effects. Don't know.
Off my food... if you have animals, you know 'something' ain't right.

Doctor's 'Bloods' and Stool Sample gave no results... just think 'something' is 'Off'.
Look after yourselves, People.

I'm not stopping wearing my 'Dark Side of the Moon' face-mask for yonks. Keith.
As far as I know, Von and I have managed to avoid Covid, thus far.

Never felt the remotest need to use the PCR (?)'tests' I got from the local pharmacy three (?) or more months ago.

Cheers - Phil.

Yes, it's still out there, guys - in fact, it's "in here" also - I'm currently confined to barracks because of a positive Covid test result last Tuesday. 

I found out using one of these DIY at home rapid lateral flow test kits the govt. are dishing out. I didn't have to follow this up as it turned out but I then went for a PCR test at one of the local drive-in test centres which also confirmed I had it.

I've no idea where I got it because I've been leading a relatively "sheltered" life at home lately with very few contacts .... with one glaring exception the week before .... we were away on a short break to York and maskless Northern England having a rare old time visiting pubs, shops and restaurants, so guess what the prime suspect is ...

Not surprisingly my wife tested positive yesterday. Not fun and not out of the woods yet (so far, for me, first 48 hours the worst & mainly congestion and cough, now - Mrs Westie has gone back to bed, as I write). Shudder to think how more seriously ill we might be if we hadn't been triple vaccinated.

Victuals are OK for the present. Has anyone got a yellow and black flag we can borrow to hang outside the house? 

I hope you and Mrs Westie recover soon

Same from me, Davy !!
