Christmas Is Near Upon Us
jellysundae reacted to Secre for a topic
Except it's hardly due diligence when they've spent weeks telling people they can meet up! In fairness, I suspect they knew they'd be roundly ignored from the start and that was a part of the decision making!! But people don't take well to 'flip-flopping', particularly when - as you said - they've now made plans around it. I mean between this and Brexit the Tory goverment are up ... creek without a paddle between them. But Starmer hardly fills me with vast confidence in honesty. Most likely!! Admittedly, my husband does try it occasionally, but he gets sick of my whining quickly enough and the heating goes on!! We have a smart meter but my father doesn't - his is a very basic turn the heating on at the boiler... or don't as the case might be. He has a small wood burner in the dining room... that is far too small for the room because the larger ones were expensive!! I always make sure I take jumpers and coats when we go down to my parents... and not to wear outside!! It's strange as my husband's parents are the opposite - their heating is ALWAYS on, to the point that you actively bake to death!! But there are too many people with a doctorate from Google who think the virus is a hoax or less dangerous than the flu. Or who don't want to be 'controlled' by the government. Or think that masks reduce oxygen levels despite doctors wearing them all day. Or that their freedom to go to the pub is more important than someone's grandad's life. There's a whole host of people who won't take the vaccine because they think it's been rushed through, with no understanding of how clinical research normally works. It normally takes us 2-3 years just to get a trial open to recruitment - protocol development, funding applications, regulatory and ethical approvals, data collection tools, site set-up (made more difficult if you are recruiting internationally). It takes forever and most of it is waiting. My unit has three COVID trials set up in the last year that from initialisation to first patient recruited took seven WEEKS. Simply because the funding and the approval red tape has been cut hugely. It isn’t that the testing is rushed, it’s that with the red tape being cut trials are opening in a fraction of the time it normally takes.1 point -
Christmas Is Near Upon Us
Nielo reacted to jellysundae for a topic
I'm really hoping they do move those goalposts to be honest. It's insanity allowing people to mix to the level they've currently set. I saw someone on the news last night saying they were watching to see if figures spiked in the US after Thanksgiving to help with the decision and I was sat there like, "WHAT?!" because they have spiked already! They declined a bit for the few days after Thanksgiving; while people incubated the germs and maybe weren't getting tested over the holiday, then they shot through the roof; that's when the US surpassed 200k cases per day, and has continued to do so. This from today's New York Times. There's that spike you're waiting for... Someone else on the news was saying about trusting people to behave sensibly... really?! Where have you been for the past nine months, mister? 0_o Something else that was said, which was very telling; that in a normal year there's a spike in elderly people being hospitalised with pneumonia after Christmas, always... so family gatherings are like Russian Roulette for grandparents any year, but this... *shudders* Talking to the public on the news about it and they're all "but we've spent all this money on food now!" Which would you prefer? Wasted food or dead parents... tough choice? The stuff about opening the window to dispel the virus seems like dangerous nonsense to me, too. Who the... *coughs* heck is gonna do that? One window open for a few minutes, maybe... until there's an exclaimation of "sod this for a game of soldiers, I'm cold!". That's not gonna help, you'd basically need all windows and doors open to create proper air flow; while you all sit there, in your coats, and eat you stone-cold dinner... this'd be a farce if it wasn't so scary. T_T This Christmas bubble thing... I've not seen a single thing about how if you want to form one you'll need to isolate first... you're doing it @Secreis that simply because you realised you'd have to? Or has it been mentioned and I've just missed it? It's so important that it should be mentioned every time the Christmas bubbles are talked about. It's definitely not something to do the " it's commonsense, surely!" kind of thing about and not say anything. Not saying anything lets people think they don't have to then... their cries will be, "well no-one said anything about needing to isolate first!!" after their festive lunch for 15 turns into a super-spreader event that kills 50. If everyone could be tested and then isolate beforehand things would be 100% fine with this scenario, I feel; that'd be a logistical nightmare but it's the price people would have to pay, the one for not doing that could be far more costly... and I worry that the people who are selfishly insisting on a big get-together are the ones least likely to isolate first. I await the outcome of Christmas with horror to be honest. As you may have already guessed, I'll not be getting together with family myself. x'D We're gonna wait until the weather's nice enough to sit out in the garden again. EDIT *poker face*1 point -

I've entered in the hopes of getting a Burlap Meerca as I still haven't managed to zap my Kiko garlic after months of trying!!1 point -
I like both the outfit and the colour - I agree with @aleu1986 that the milky white eyes make it stand out a bit from the crowd, although yes, some wisps of pink floating away from it would look pretty awesome. It's like the friendly ghost... just a friendly wraith instead! And yes, that hat is wonderful! I wish it wasn't species specific!! I really like the staff as well, there's a lot of fine detail on it!1 point
