    Not the first story I have heard about schools not following rules. I know quite a few people who have children isolating now, so they won’t be back to school this year now.

    Not sure if this should be on curmudgeon's thread. Anyone else frustrated when watching the football yesterday (apart from the results) and seeing idiots (well, at least one!) with masks under their chins screaming and spluttering all over the show?
    And why, in stadia that hold tens of thousands, compress the fans into small sectioned areas?

    So that the cameramen can shoot a crowd.  A bit like dougnutting in the House of Commons?

    I'm going to hospital on Thursday for a minor procedure. My letter said I had to have a Covid test before I could attend. I follow the instructions in the letter and attend a two lane drive through testing centre.
    Arrive at the head of the queue to be greeted with "Good evening" Its 14:00 (afternoon) that had me worried for a start. Takes my name and goes to get testing swabs . I continue to wait and wait then see the person dealing with me walk up to a car in the next lane, then she realised that was not me so went to the car behind that one again eventually as she walked to the third car in the next lane I called to her then it sank in and she did the business.

    Does Not give one a lot of confidence in the process. I just hope she's got my sample in the right tube and I come back negative as I haven't been near anyone for weeks other then when forced to go shopping   :)

    She was probably dog tired.

    And most probably freezing cold if they are having to stand around in this kind of weather. I don't envy them at all - hope they're getting 'danger' money but suspect not.

    LOL
    Laugh not love....
    Bird flu is doing the rounds again as per usual for anyone who has not noticed.
    .
    So "Corvid " is vaguely correct.
    Have to laugh or cry.
    I just sneezed but it ain't bird flu ...honest :D

    Burnt into my memory is a vid from China some years ago of them throwing little chicks by the hands fulls into fires, burning them alive from fear of bird flu.
    Maybe we could do the same with humans. We are only another life form. I am not sure why we should have preference over other forms of life on this planet.

    I do not want or wish to die that way .
    But maybe we should  consider the implications and take it into consideration.
