borborygmus: There is a lot of Covid about; this version seems particularly contagious, although no worse than a very bad cold to the people I know who have caught it. It ripped through my office a week ago, in one day about 50% of the people there caught it.

ocarolan: You're quite right borborygmus, though the political and media factions don't/won't acknowledge it publicly. Just another aspect of how particularly vulnerable persons have been thrown under a bus. Again.

otis1960: Unfortunately it has now become another flu situation: Covid is now endemic, with genetic drift making small changes which keep it circulating, and the occasional genetic seismic shift that results in a new variant.

otis1960: There is not much we can do to avoid it, and the vaccination programmes are always going to be playing catch up with the worst new variants.This one is not as bad as previous instances, but has still knocked me flat

ronb: Hi, I suspect there is a bug in the system - when I try to clik on edit on a post it opens a new window and says "time is up"

ocarolan: Once you have made a post there is an edit window beyond which it is not possible to edit your post, other than by requesting moderator assistance. There are good reasons for this, but the Shoutbox is not the place to discuss. PM staff if you wish.

Onechordtrick: This latest COVID seems especially bad. Got me a ride in an ambulance and a night in ICU. Recovered now though
