What's the point of living in England if you can't be within walking distance of a first-rate pub? Forget Newton, Darwin, Priestly, Hawking, and Turing. Forget Shakespeare and Austen. The pub is the best thing England ever did for the world.
Wifey, despite being fully vaccinated, tested positive for covid yesterday, so we're isolating. Fortunately, because she was vaccinated, her symptoms are not too severe and she doesn't come close to requiring hospitalization. I'm not symptomatic at all.
Everyone at work is convinced I'm making this up so I can stay home, drink beer, and watch the olympics.
The first inn in old Albion was apparently called the:
Ye Olde Fighting c**ks
Little has changed over the years.
Its now turning out the Pfizer vaccine in Israel is only 39% effective against infection of the Delta variant and that's the one that's been pushed for the elderly in this country. The fear continues unabated and its hardly going to encourage vaccine take up. The booster jab is well under production as we speak. God only knows how many, and at what cost its going to take to make people feel safe again.
Some would say it a uncanny coincidence John. Not me obviously
There is a manager at work who has had around 2 months off due to Covid. First it was waiting for test result, then it was him & his partner testing positive at differing times, then they went thru the kids individually testing and finally the kids again being near someone who has tested positive. I have no doubt the long Covid symptoms will come into play soon.
Why the company didn't just ask him to come in and take a test is beyond me.
