China Coronavirus

Yeah I think most people will be the same. I would have been looking forward to this weekend coming now, getting off and seeing everyone you haven't seen for various reasons throughout the year for a few pints watching the football.

It isn't to be. The queues at the likes of Primark wind me up when I could be having a much safer few pints in the local but what can you do?

My days of house parties are over. I actually feel sorry for the police having to go and try and break up that.

How things are a few weeks before a big white hole appears in the map.

Croatia having a rough time of it. Wonder are they doing anything differently or just a bad capture. Suppose people would still be travelling there?

This may be as low as things get for now. However, if the rate of increase is kept down there is a bit of headroom over the holidays. NI with 4 times the rate has no headroom, hence they are now talking about closing up again after Xmas.

Holidays won't be as bad as we think I suspect. Lots of towns aren't opening for business in Mid Ulster anyway (Gastro Bars).

Assuming there will be a rise of parties as a result of course. What can the police do? Can hardly expect them to drive around listening for noise.

Seems neighbours are calling the cops, so plenty will be broken up.

We'll be having the quietest Xmas ever! Normally a huge deal for family but it'll be a bit strange this time round.

I'd say the family are delighted they won't be seeing you.

It can't be half assed, the number went to zero during proper lockdown, if that's not obvious I don't know what is, and we are testing thousands more than before. 

The sooner the vaccine comes to everyone the better.

That's it in a nutshell.
