:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ā“

And it’s mutated already…

BTW has everything we develop or run got to be world class, or is this a hang over from ā€œCummings speakā€

This is not the first mutation, there have been several already. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02544-6

Oh, I misread that as the new variant is called Hancock :roll_eyes:

Quite apt though

It was bound to have its half hour.

Who am I kidding, there aren’t any :roll_eyes::wink:

But… What about the darts?

Yeah I read that this morning. ā€˜Sorry I am in starbucks’ riddled with covid but sorry need to get my skinny latte.
There is a house near here. Who have had people coming and going the whole time since March. We’ve been to our parents houses once in the summer and sat in their gardens. I’ve not see my sister since March.
I don’t think I should be going into work but it’s hard to argue that.
I’ve pretty much stuck to the rules at which ever rules there are at the time.

I’m a bit pissed off with those people in that article.

Into tier 3 here on Wednesday but I doubt there will be that much change as there was feck all change in last ā€˜lockdown’.

full of the joys.

I think there’s also a new variant called the Cronyvirus, that’s the one where you can contagiously spread money to your mates.

Waste of money for them to take legal action. My borough is in there.
One of my managers has had to stay home 2 times 14 days as kids in her daughters school have tested positive in the last 6 weeks. Another colleague came in for the first time since March and left 10 mins later as a kids in her son’s school had tested positive. Another colleague cannot come in for 2 weeks because her daughter’s kids school also has positive cases.

I risk breaking the rules in January (if London remains in tier 3) as I will be technically travelling to tier 2. Its quite important though - I am moving house, out of Covid-riddled London.

See ya!

That area may be in tier 3 by then. Fingers crossed it’s not :slight_smile:

How many years since you’ve been a nipper then boy?

As would be said by my nonagenarian aunt and uncle… :roll_eyes:

I first happened upon a BBC cassette set of Hancocks Half Hour about 30 years ago, in a filling station just outside Wilton. It was titled the Scandal Magazine, and I bought it because I’d just heard a documentary about Confidential.

Ever since that fateful day, if pressed to pick an all-time favourite comedian I would have to name Anthony Aloysius St-John Hancock. The perfect performer for Galton and Simpson’s razor sharp scripts, I still listen to them now.

Woke up with a fever and a cough (which were the 2 symptoms I didn’t have when I had Covid in November) - ordered a precautionary test but this has the potential to properly fuck Christmas.

Really really hoping it’s just the flu I invariably get when I stop work every year

Im still a nipper, mush. According to my old man.
