It just pissed me off. Want me to quote every single time you’ve moaned about something with at least you are alive?
And the initial post was fine, it’s the response to me saying my sons good health isn’t lockdown related. Then it looks to me like it’s being made out I can’t say lockdown has been shit for me because other people on this thread have lost people close to them.

Congrats mate, glad to hear you got to spend some quality time with your daughter.

Yes it's my first, and as my wife is self employed I get to take a fat old chunk of paternity leave too. Everything coming up Tom atm.

I have had a kind of paternity leave given my daughter was born only 6 weeks before lockdown. Moved house. Got a bean to cup coffee machine. Got a dishwasher.

I actually got it significantly cheaper by buying from amazon.de - imported from germany complete with EU plug which I just swapped for a british one. It arrived in 3 days or something. Not sure if you could do that post brexit.

In the shitty things that have happened to me in the last 16 months chart, lockdowm doesn't even make the top ten so I suppose the upside of that is it hasn't affected me as much as other people.
And even though I've had some shit I know a few people who have really been through the wringer so there's always people worse off. Just got to keep going folks, things will get better.

The specimen date is more reliable and that was relatively flat for 7, 8, 9 June. Data since then is subject to change but 10th and 11th show similar numbers so hopefully it is reaching a plateau

I hear you, sometimes it doesn't feel like it though. Had so much shit going on I have barely even noticed COVID, and a lot of it has barely registered. I don't care about lockdowns being delayed, its so insignificant on the scale of things that can go wrong in life.

This is interesting which suggests a lot of short stay admissions. It is obviously not the entire picture though as the numbers occupying beds and on ventilators has gone up.

People just love to stir a load of nothing. Hospitals do get busy sometimes! Probably more sun stroke cases than Covid.

Happened in this thread a lot to. Someone's random nurse/wife/missus/cat would tell the story how bad it was and then the head of UHCW would say it was nonsense.

Patients in ICU isn't going up massively even patients in hospital isn't jumping up. Remember that figure also includes people who are already in hospital for other issues who then test positive.

The last few days of deaths from the NHS are mainly 80+ Cant be many unvaccinated over 80+. So not sure what's going on there.

Come on then you negative lot, I wanna hear some positive lockdown stories from you, and no I'm not shitting on the thousands dead before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, I just wanna hear some good news stories personal to you.
Thanks to this my work has decided I can work from home full time. My wife has done her private tutoring from home full time during the last year, which as she is pregnant, was very much needed. To top it off looks like I've just saved £12,000 in stamp duty.

It's gone up 33% over the last month albeit from a smaller base. The fact that it incudes people in hospital for other reasons is irrelevant tbh, it is still a person on a ventilator which reduces capacity by 1. In any case, why would somebody with covid be on a ventilator for any other reason?
