Boris self isolating. Not being funny, they tell us to work from home if you can etc, why the fuck are they doing meetings in an office and not via zoom, and taking selfies with one another etc? What a prick, fuckers make it up as they go along

Question going round on Twitter asking how many people you know who've had the 'rona. I came up with 22, of which 3 have died. Anyone beat that sad statistic?
0 (touches wood). That would likely be higher if I didn't live in a place where it's rare.

10 who had it, so far just 1 elderly uncle of mine that succumbed to it, so far, oh make that 2, my mates mum died of it too in Birmingham. Just had my letter from our esteemed government today putting me back onto sheidling, no leaving the house at all until further notice. Wonderful.

I should have been a bit more precise. That includes people at one remove - relatives of friends. I suppose the high number relates partly to living in a big city - loads of people we know in Paris have had it, nearly all this Autumn rather than in the Spring.

Is this the 'not really shielding' shielding letter? i.e. this time you can venture out if you want, but...? Pretty grim for you regardless ============= Only know of 1

No mate this one is worded that I cannot go out or have any visitors at all to the house until at least 2nd December. The letter says I am only allowed out to see a doctor or have a hospital appointment. Dated Nov 4th arrived today! shows how important it is!

blimey.
I only asked because a friend of Mrs Batch was shielded in the first lockdown, and I thought she was allowed out this time - with stipulations

Not according to this letter mate. Half the "foreseen" lockdown period is over already in the time it took them to get the letter to me anyway! If they have the same letter its headed with "Important advice for you about new guidance for clinically extremely vulnerable people". It does state "Requiring people to stay at home, except for specific purposes." The "purposes" they list are basically visits to Doctors and Hospitals.
