The angry thread

[emjaybee]

Errm, does having more overtime available than I could possibly want making breathing circuits, carbon dioxide scrubbers and ventilators count as something positive?
Over 500 cases province-wide today, a bank holiday, one where thousands are on the streets celebrating their 'culture and heritage'.
Just an observation of life here, not meant in any way to be taken personally and I wish you all the best in England when you 're-open next week.

Where are you?

If you get a minute, and it sounds like you're very busy, update your profile so we know where in the world you are.

Stay safe!

Just read they're reporting 112 NSW cases today. Seems a big number for Australia...

Here in sunny Tokyo we are now on Day 1 of a six week "state of emergency" (the fourth...) timed to cover the Olympics (probably quite sensible as it pretty much squashes Covid as a spectator sport), but which also covers the school summer holidays and further restricts the range of activities which can be undertaken with a small child.

On the plus side Mrs. Railsquid has now also bagged a vaccination appointment, albeit for the start of September.

Yeah, 112 today. Just about all of them in the same area of Sydney, and most of them in entire families. 

Yes, you're not travelling real well in Tokyo either, by the looks of it. I'm pleased to hear that Mrs R has got a vaccination appointment. 

In comparison with many other countries, this is but a gentle wavelet lapping up against the shore of Covid pestilence - remember, this is a country where the government has to issue guidelines in summer recommending people *not* to wear masks outside when it's hot - on the other hand the prefectures surrounding Tokyo (which are effectively part of the same conurbation) are merely in "extended prevention measures", not a "state of emergency", which means people are crossing into those to to get their mid-evening public drinking in, as the rules are slightly less strict there, so I'm betting the "state of emergency" will be extended to those in a week or two...

Meanwhile in less angry news, Mrs Railsquid's mother apparently got wind via the local grapevine of some cancellation slots opening up soon and cheekily phoned up and pretended to be Mrs Railsquid, so she (Mrs Railsquid) now has an appointment before the end of July

A story in the online news about a young man who got 4 jabs. 2 AZ and 2 Pfizer. Apparently nobody refused him!

I'm due for 2nd AZ in early September (12 weeks) although the health advice is varied and not ruling out a 6 or 8 week interval.

[Bealman]

Yeah, I'm due my second on Sept 9. I rang up yesterday and they're quite happy to put it forward a month, but unless things become bad here in Wollongong, I don't see much point in doing so.

Good result, Ian!

Lock down number 5, all because some idiot removalists from refused to obey the rules. Thank goodness I had my 2nd shot of AZ today.

I think you missed NSW after "from"

Hmm, shame he can't 'remove' himself from the gene pool.

So I did George, just really p***** off, thought we had gotten away with this round.
