Bojo now saying that they are going to take a look at lifting some restrictions as early as the 15th of February
You actually could not make this stuff up
Was Easter only 2 days ago now it's 2 weeks and some stuff may be lifted

Smurfy, that is Boris Johnson in a nutshell. Bumbling from one disaster to clutching at a success.

I really don't know if he is ridiculously intelligent, or ridiculously stupid yet.

He, more than the Irish....needs his people on side, England is a mess.

He will probably change what he says tomorrow. You can't believe what he says is going to happen until it actually does. He will say whatever lie falls into his head at the time he is talking and then there will never be any consequences if it is a lie.

It's this sort of shit that annoys my head about Stormont and the NICS. Businesses are on their f**king knees and these wankers can't even deliver support. Incompetent gobshites. Even it was another crude 10k into rate payers accounts that'd be something. But there's a list of industries that need support and delivering it should be prioritised.

They're handing back money every year. You couldn't make it up.

Could they not even give the NHS staff a one off payment as some sort of thank you if they cant think of anything else to do with it.

Israel are now saying they are seeing a 60% reduction in hospitalisation among over 60s 3 weeks after the first jab. I think the media, social media and even people on here need to take a step back and wait for the data to come through over the next number of weeks before judging on whether the UK have made a balls of the vaccination programme. They may well be right but lets wait and see.

Just got an email there from NHS supposedly to say that I have been selected to receive a vaccination based on family genetics and medical history. .... I have 24 hours to accept or reject the invitation ...
I am not due a jab til spring and never heard of this scheme..... scam?

There is one reported to be doing the rounds. It asks for key details people would use for passwords/security questions etc. Check reply address etc. Should be easy to spot.

GP from Cork on the news there saying there has been a huge spike in patients with mental health problems at his practice and blames isolation and lack of socialisation for it.

Can anyone answer me this.
What is the logic of closing golf courses? Not golf clubs but the course
Why are we accepting this

I thought you were going to blame vaccines there! Phew

People can still visit if someone is vulnerable or needs care..

Poor mental health should fall under that ability to care for someone

Smurfy123 · January 25, 2021, 06:38:35 PM

Poor mental health is failure to care for someone?

What a stupid comment

Getting locked up more like it
Lack of social interaction
Lack of exercise
Lack of will to live
Jobless
No money
Overweight

Getting locked up more like it
Lack of social interaction: you can still go out doors and interacting happens in many forms
Lack of exercise: no gyms open, I train every day walking, weights, running
Lack of will to live: people have that regardless of Covid, depression was here and will continue, there's a thread on it.
Jobless: these jobs will be available again, no one is making money
No money: no where to spend it
Overweight: that's a personal choice

All these things above happen daily, before Covid.

If someone is feeling mentally unwell due to being in lockdown you can care for them.

SCAM.

You'll be contacted by your GP when it's your turn. And unless you are over the age of 75 by March 2021, its not your turn just yet.
