I have just read this very sad news Steve, so sorry for your and families awful loss and may your brother live in peace with God. :'( :'( :'(

[Doctor Gollum]

Difficult to know what to say without sounding twee or clichéd.

Hopefully since his diagnosis, you've all had time to come to terms with his diagnosis and were able to put any history to the past and can find some consolation that his suffering has ended.

Son came to stay yesterday to prepare for his wedding tomorrow. He has a runny nose today so did a Covid test just in case.
Its positive ! 
Wife is clinically highly vulnerable, so is more than a little concerned.

4.5 million with symptomatic covid in the UK (Zoe study) so Covid is everywhere albeit mild variants .
your Son should have done a test BEFORE visiting a clinically highly vulnerable person ,tests are only £2.50
BUT , as your wife will be attending the wedding ? with many people, singing possibly ,transmission is inevitable
If she has had all her jabs .it's highly unlikely to make her seriously ill .

According to Boris in todays paper he is not ruling out another lockdown , it definitely hasn't gone away..

My neighbours both tested positive after going to a grandchild's birthday party. He's in his seventies and she's in her sixties, both have health issues and both felt mildly ill.

She was told to go into hospital ASAP where she was hooked up to a drip with one of the new anti viral drugs for a few hours and said she quickly felt better.

How it should be dealt with. 

A lock down would serve no purpose than to minimise diesel shortages and otherwise kill the economy.

another lockdown won't happen
The government will just introduce an "if you go out tax" instead 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Meanwhile in Shanghai!

I'm surprised that they bothered to cart them away... Perhaps away from the media they have resumed culling the building.

One question from that propoganda piece...

If they cannot get their own deliveries, how can the possibly receive someone else's

I'm really not bothered one way or the other lockdown or no lockdown we've got our routine and will just carry on as we have been doing, but feel for folk with young families mortgages etc very unpredictable times I think the " Going out tax" is already here for some.

Meanwhile in Shanghai Part 2.

Be warned there are some disturbing images in this thread and as it comes from Twitter you have to wonder whether it's all true or not. 

There are 25 million people under a strict lockdown in Shanghai, with reports of food supplies running out, officials killing dogs and cats, people being dragged off to 'quarantine camps' and suicides. You get the drift.   

[Doctor Gollum]

Total population of Shanghai is 28.5 million... Presumably 3.5 million work for the government 

If that piece is only half true, then they may as well nuke the place and say 'Oops'.

There's probably some districts of Shanghai that are not under the strict stay at home lockdown, but it seems the vast majority of the city is. 

Crazy...

Either TCV didn't work, or they like the idea of control...

At least Vlad had the foresight to turn Tinterwebs off
