Covid infections

[yorkieowl]

I dont think the issue will be buildings or more Nightingale hospitals, I reckon it will be having enough staff to run them. We are on the last leg hopefully of this nightmare and the end is in sight (fingers crossed). It just takes one final shove of people following the rules, or being MADE to follow the rules and hopefully we can beat it.

.....until the next time. Hopefully they have learnt so much from this pandemic that they will be better prepared for the next one, whenever, not if, that is.

This virus is giving new experiences all around.
The oddest one is going into a bank, wearing a mask, demanding money.

Maybe you should try it. There is nothing comfier than a mattress stuffed with notes. You can then sleep the sleep of the righteous knowing you haven't put a penny in the hands of the greedy bankers.

And you can claim the dole and things like housing/child benefits new fridge sofa etc, then sell it and have a hol in Benidorm.

Don’t think selling a fridge or sofa would pay for a holiday in Benidorm though? Just a little far fetched me believes. Lol

Do you remember posting when COVID was a bit of a nasty rumour David, and you were worried about attending a concert?

How right you were to be concerned!

I can't believe there are folk who still think it's one big hoax ☹

I know of several people who've died from CV - fortunately no family or friends (yet!) - and about half a dozen more who are suffering with serious 'long covid' syndromes.

Perhaps it's because there is still a relatively small percentage of the population who've been infected and, more to the point, been seriously effected as a result or even worse died?

Roll on with the vaccine program asap, it's definitely a step in the right direction for all of us

Stick em all on an island somewhere with no vaccine or hospital and see how they get on over a year.

My sis did it all the time, fridge sofa washing machine carpets etc, almost always covered her hols, i think the gov has cottoned on and stopped most of it.
What they used to do was strip the house out and hide the stuff and brought in old wrecked stuff which did the rounds, once the inspector went they brought there good stuff back in, then got a big cheque in post then down to loc shop who changed it for cash and took a percentage for there back pocket, very common here for years.
Must point out my sis only worked for a few years got up the duff twice divorced married twice and never worked a day and lives like a queen, tells me i must have been stuped going out to work, who is wright, i wonder.

There’s at least one waster in every family. Thankfully, it ain’t me. BIL = Brother in law. Also BILL, likes to be called Liam.
An expert on everything, done stuff better than you ever did , and always before you even thought about it. One thing he’s an expert on, manipulating the unemployment benefits.

You’re right Trev, you might not be the richest in monetary terms but you have the self respect. Hubby was on benefits in the 80’s when he started working again he vowed we’d never claim unemployment benefit again, and we never have.

Del I know people and have members of my family who have never worked a day in there life’s it’s a mind set they see scamming the system as a job I dont even give them the time of day. I’ve worked since I was 15 and never ever claimed benefits of any sort not because I haven’t needed it at times but my pride wouldn’t let me especially after seeing them do it just made me more determined to get out my pisser and do a days graft. Being self employed from a young age helped could always put a bit away for the thin times

 

[Fazerloz]

Just said on the PM update the London Nightingale is now been readied.

Maybe possibly for mass vaccinations, that would need relatively little equipment.

There had to be something I liked about you.
I also started early,12, lied about my age, told the local newsagent, who knew my family well, that I was 13. I must have looked, I don't know, 10. Monday to Friday, I could manage the bag, at weekends, it was bigger than me. At a genuine 14, I had a paper round down the hill. The rich end. No tabloids down here. Most houses taking the heavies, and more than one, Friday, The Jewish Chronicle, added a fair bit of weight. On Sunday,a van would take the second half of the round out, and dump it somewhere in the dry for you. The Shop, Ellington's, had about thirty of us kids delivering. How they got away with the School kids working regs,I'll never know. I didn't mind, I was on a £ a week. Christmas boxes in total , remember it was mainly wealthy Jewish folk, would be £ 30- £40. A fortune in 1962. After school, trade bike, grocery deliveries. At 15, When I left school, I was clearing £4. 10s. No stamp. First week's wage. £ 2.10s minus stamp, tea swindle. Didn't take long for me to realize I should go back to the paper round before work.
The only time we had to seek help, was when I had a serious RTA, shortly after buying my first truck. We were laughed ( that's how it felt) out of the job shop. If it wasn't for my Mum and her brother,my uncle we would have gone hungry. Vowed then, never again.

Bit long winded, I know. But like you, I do get a little passionate about idleness and working the system. I do wonder how genuine,first time unemployed will get on, when the smelly stuff hits the fan. Thank goodness I've retired. Oh! at 71.
