Isn’t the obsession with being back to normal a little bit abnormal? Who knows? Normality was never stolen from us before based on dodgy modelling and liars, who evidently knew Covid posed little danger for the vast majority, given they ignored the rules they set! so much so it almost cost him his life |

Right with Covid not quite over with but seemingly most of us accepting it's very much on it's way thought I might share todays interesting experience at Palma airport with you.
Through check in and waiting in my queue for security, there is about 30/40 folk in each queue and about 10 lanes of queues so about 400 folk nose to tail in the building plus all the security staff, virtually none of them with a mask on. Of course as is still the case at most places the social distance floor marking are still on the floor, and being totally ignored by everyone as they have been for months now things are getting back to normal.
After queing for about 10 long mins the well dressed elderly guy directly in front of me decides to put some distance between himself and the rest in front of him. Not long after he looks round at me and points with his walking stick to the markings on the floor and asks a bit vaguely "could you tell me what that says?". "Yes, it says about keeping distance in 3 different languages" I say. " do you think you could give me some space then".
It was said so innocently that I couldnt help but smile broadly especially when I looked around me and everyone else in earshot was trying to contain themselves from laughing uncontrollably at the way it came out from him. And the rest of the building was still rammed nose to tail.
He didnt seem to have any other issues with being worried about Covid. No face mask, and accepted help by the security helper being close to remove his jacket to go through the scanner or by the security guard who held his hand through the scanner as his walking stick had to go through the scanner too. I guess they are more trustworthy than to pass it onto him he might think.
I do hope he managed to find plenty of social distancing on his journey through passport control, queing to board, on the bus to the plane (ours was rammed), and that he has booked a full row of seats to stop people sitting too close for 2/3 hours depending on where he was heading to. We didnt at any of those points over the next 3-4 hours.
Most people around me were clearly gobsmacked that he was in a busy airport and still thinking in such a way. Even my wife (still much more Covid aware than I ever was) couldnt beleive him.
Probably I shouldn't share this, but it was so amusing that its kept me smiling on and off all day, it's been quite a significant day on the subject in recent weeks. I'm sure I will get a few comments but as genuine articles are getting harder to find maybe we need to find other stories to keep this thread going a bit longer.

Real progress today. Called at the doctors, was able to walk right into the reception without having to ring the bell, wait or have temp checked or even have to wear a mask even. Have they not read all the scare stories in the media that there
MIGHT be a new variant that will take us back to March 2020....
Even more surprisingly I got a polite and helpful receptionist......
Stopped short of trying to get a face to face appointment, i thought that would be pushing my luck too much. 😉

Good that the population is learning to live with it. Rishi Sunak is one of those learning to live with it - he can't afford any more tax cuts because they gave all the money to their Tory chums in the clamour for dubious quality ppe. |

Had this message on my phone this morning.
Cant (a) beleive these idiots are still around trying this scam, and (b) there are still bigger idiots that will still fall for it. But i suppose we have been brainwashed for 2 years and some still beleive every written word that the media keep pedaling.

Didnt think it needed explaining to folks on here but there you go. 😉 maybe you need it explaining to you then , as the scam isn't the text, ( or you can consider yourself having been scammed as you've had the text ) the scam is to get you to order a free test kit from the fake NHS site given and only pay 99p for postage, and of course you are required to pop in your card details |

They way I read it was that you were saying the whole coronavirus pandemic was a scam, not purely the text you’ve had 👍 |

if the drug is as good as the research data it seems very short shighted to not use it
from the mail
"New £800-a-dose Covid drug that could save the lives of the 500,000 vulnerable Britons who don't respond to the jab
The AstraZeneca developed Evusheld was approved by UK regulators in March The Department of Health and Social Care refuses to cover the £800-dose cost New calls have been made to roll out the drug as Covid infections rise again"The trial results for Evusheld released earlier this year showed that, if taken once every six months, it cuts the risk of a person catching Covid by nearly 80 per cent. And the latest data now shows that if it is given within a week of Covid infection, Evusheld can also reduce the risk of severe disease and death by 50 per cent, even in patients who are deemed the most vulnerable."

Everything back to normal there except on public transport where most people are attempting to wear a mask but most of them keep slipping down their face to the chin. Still at least the virus has now been contained to only being active on busses and trains.......😏 |

yes, brexit a distant memory now Unfortunately the queues in passport said otherwise 😂 Been to Majorca and mainland Spain 6 times this year, hardly seen a queue for passports. Nothing out of the ordinary at least. Once we walked right through with no one in front of us. Sure there might be problems at times, but of course the media wont focus on that will they........ 😏 |
