"a load of BS" pretty much sums up our gov though ;)
I guess we'll see at 8, to be honest, I don't think our economy has the capacity for getting too hardcore, especially at christmas, I see them putting down some rules and then asking people to have some personal accountability, and warning us...

"Johnson said those who had come into contact with people testing positive for a suspected case of Omicron would have to self-isolate for 10 days and that face masks must be worn in shops and on public transport but not restaurants and pubs in England."
o_O WTF is this?
Even though they described shifting levels for parts of the country early on, don't remember this ever happening. So if there's a lockdown, it's gonna be country wide...I imagine that there would be chaos if only part of it was shut down.
Yup and some of the highest daily numbers of confirmed flu infections seen in a while, and since SARS-COV-2 is way more infectious, it means that people are not doing the basic minimum of non-medical intervention.

"The authors of a study purportedly showing that ivermectin could treat patients with SARS-CoV-2 have retracted their paper after acknowledging that their data were garbled."
And it should never change, kids should have unobstructed access to essential medical treatment. It's the same people who complain kids having access to information and medical treatment to do with sex. You may not want your child having sex, but they literally can, I'd rather they get educated...

It doesn't work on firefox or chrome, I think its to do with security settings, I don't use Edge for anything so no extensions on there and it worked perfect, got my cert and QR code.
