I think the transition back to 'normal' is going to really reveal the big psychological toll the past year has taken on a lot of people. There'll be people going straight for the new relaxed rules as soon as they can, and other people continuing to be very cautious, and I can see there being friction between those two groups in public places.
Apparently the latest daily figures are for the first time in probably over a year (?) showing 0 deaths
This comes after just one reported death yesterday, and whilst it’s probably down to the bank holiday LAG its still quite encouraging to see!
Who is it killing in the UK these days? Surely all the at-risk people are vaccinated by now?
Coronavirus has always killed a few people who are young and seemed otherwise healthy. Uptake won't be 100% either amongst vulnerable people, so no deaths at all will still be a bit off.Who is it killing in the UK these days? Surely all the at-risk people are vaccinated by now?
I think we'll get a 0 death day before too long though! 7 day rolling average deaths per day over the past few weeks has gone 26, 21, 13
So this weeks average should be like 6 or 7 at that rate. We've had a 1 and a 4 so there will be some "catching up" and then... maybe next week?
Who even has a 27 sided die?27 new deaths yesterday.
Well, that's your trend fucked.

Did you gag?Just had to do one of those at home tests for the first time.
Not a fan. Not a fan at all.
I did one of the lateral flow tests today too. Was just feeling really shit, similar to when I had Covid - I haven't actually left home in the last 10 days though, but you never know with the flat-mate popping out to the corner shop every day. Anyway, negative but they're not too bad.
Back of the throat is the most unpleasant but the nose thing just tickles.
I did one at a walk in centre just after Easter because they were just offering them. The guy guided me through and said I did it just fine, which was no different to the PCR test which came back positive in January. Just until you feel some resistance should be fine.Did you put it all the way in? (that's what she said)
The nose bit is horrible. Apparently most people don't put it up there properly (that's what she said) and it causes a lot of false negatives.
