What Happened To................

[10ClarionSt]

...............the Indian variant that was going to devastate the country? That fizzled out, didn't it? And wasn't there supposed to be a Brazillian variant too, about 12 months ago? Then there was the Mexican variant. Where next?
"Around the world, I searched for you
I travelled on, till hope was gone
To keep a rendezvous"

[emmie]

i thought the Indian variant was the Delta one??

[bobbinwales]

It is emmie and its been the dominant one. Maybe 10 Cs missed the daily updates in deaths picking up to over 1000 a week and increase in hospital admissions even in mild autumn

[Hopkirk]

Try and keep up 10C

Apart from that not much

[emmie]

enough to be going on with Bob..

[diddlydo]

Bobbinwales - the number of patients in hospital is now going DOWN day by day.

[Hopkirk]

Thanks to the vaccinations.

[emmie]

without the vax then we would be seeing hundreds of thousands dead here i reckon.

[bobbinwales]

Is it time for Gromit to mention 50000 new infections a day?

[emmie]

lets not...

[diddlydo]

Hopkirk - yes. However if the booster roll-out had been properly organised nationwide at the outset rather than shambolic and patchy we'd be in a much better position now.

[emmie]

do you ever stop moaning diddly, just because you haven't had your booster doesn't mean no one else has. some 17 million have had it that's good going in my book.

[bobbinwales]

Diddly when was your second jab? Maybe your not due.

[bobbinwales]

Make your mind up diidlydo. One minute your saying hospital admissions are down and we should refuse to wear masks and then your saying we should doing better

[naomi24]

I don’t think she does, emmie. Being so miserable is what keeps her going.

[emmie]

must be Naomi, though the figures are very good and now that the timings are being brought down to three months from last jab to have the booster, all good.

[diddlydo]

Some of you clearly don't understand plain English. I had my booster a month ago through being pro-active about getting an appointment.

[emmie]

pro active, ha ha...

[naomi24]

Diddly, you mean you went on line to book it or picked the phone up? An admirable effort. Well done!

[bobbinwales]

Proactive for me was logging on and booking one.
It was shambolic and t I blame boris as it took nearly 2 minutes of using the website and then to make it worse they made me travel a mile to get it and made me wait until exactly 6 months plus a week from 2nd jab
