Everywhere we went checked it except in San Marino where there wasn’t a requirement. Even in Naples, which surprised me a bit given it’s shall we say a bit rough and ready.

This really should bring the government down, being culpable for the deaths of thousands is a disgrace. I get it was unprecedented but this bunch of fucking crooks must be accountable for it.

Boris saying that they didn’t know that it could be spread asymptomatic at the beginning of the pandemic.

Doesn’t really stack up as it’s been known that viruses spread asymptomaticly for centuries and also Chris Witty said it could be right at the start of the pandemic.

I’m old enough to remember when the standard defence line was “we followed the science”. Clearly not.

Think it was NHS’ call from memory but Hancock was supposed to ensure testing was sorted

I think he even told Johnson, who was struggling with Covid, that this was happening, then argued he only said testing would take place when there was sufficient capacity (lying weasel). It all came out in Cummings testimony to commons committee…not that he’s the beacon of truth but reckon he was right here

This was always going to be the biggest Covid fuck up and people should pay one way or another

Just make it up as you go along Boris and grendel and half the country will give you sympathy rather than those that paid with their lives.

He can fuck right off with that excuse. It's complete bullshit.

Why would this disease be different from pretty much every other disease, especially one which was said to show little or no effect in a majority of people, especially the young. Why were we go into lockdown etc if it couldn't be passed on asymptomatically? Surely then all you'd need instead of "Hands, Face, Space" would have been "Can't smell nowt? Don't go out."

As you said, the experts next to him on the podium said this and although I've very little doubt he wasn't paying any attention being wilfully ignorant and not listening is not an excuse.

What's more is how little he thinks of the common person that he thinks a. they won't have enough intelligence or knowledge to know he's talking bullshit and b. that he can say this shit and people will just believe him.

in the words of Liz Truss

Oh blood and sand. After all this time, today I’ve tested positive.

I’ve been a little under the weather since WBA away, today was my fourth test since then and the first positive.

Balls. If you were in block 41 close enough to row 8, do a test just in case.

I've got Covid at the moment.......basically a head cold with a few flu-like aches.....

The worst part is I've had to cancel my long awaited appointment for a biopsy......which is a bit of a twat

Might make me a prick but if I was waiting ages for a biopsy and tested positive id just go and not say anything.

There comes a point where your health is more important than others, and I would say a biopsy is that mate

It did cross my mind to be honest......but it was due for this afternoon & I am currently sneezing & coughing for England so I think I did the right thing.....eventually Hopefully NHS karma will reward me in the coming months.

I'm 99% sure my eldest had it last week, but we didn't test him as he was due on his (already twice cancelled) school trip.....He had zero symptoms by the day he got on the coach so I feel that one was more morally acceptable.

Here we go

Belgium first country to introduce compulsory monkeypox quarantine

Those who contract the virus will now have to self-isolate for three weeks, Belgian health authorities have said, after three cases were recorded in the country.

I mean - it sounds reasonable enough that people who have it maybe hold off on their Tinder dates for few weeks, no?

So why are lockdowns for people who were infected or close contacts out of the question then?

Apart from the fact the CDC say up to one in ten cases result can result in death, and the most likely to die are young children.

Not that I'm advocating lockdowns etc. just pointing out people do die from monkeypox and quite often they're children,

Thought we’d escaped without getting this shit. The missus and I are both feeling rough. She tested positive on Saturday and I did this morning. This ain’t no mild cold either.

Thanks. I was diagnosed as having the flu a month before Covid became a thing in the US. There were no Covid tests around back then.
Strangely enough this started the same way. Dry cough and fever. I got really sick the last time, I’m hoping this doesn’t get that bad.. or worse.
