The first one plants it, the second activates and now on the third you are transmitting, The clue that you have been activated is that you feel depressed and see a blue screen of death all around you. You can't CTL your ALT behaviour so you just DELete,
No you will change you home address to 127.0.0.1 and think that F5 is refreshing. You will then need some F1. When you get cold you will just ALT + F4 to keep the warm in. (Too geeky lol?)
Where you see a blue screen of death, I see only clear blue sky, and a brave new world. Those who cannot be controlled, will be deleted for the greater good.
World health organisation has stated that international travel restrictions are ineffective They have also suggested that proof of vaccinations aren’t necessary. I wonder how long it takes the authoritarians to notice.
Nothing a good /ipconfig release and renew won't fix, assuming you're able to figure out how to open your command prompt.
Or if you are feeling like you need to flush your dns and are on a linux/mac box you can sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
The province of Ontario has announced that indoor dining, gyms etc will resume on January 31st. The province of Ontario has also announced that elective surgeries and non-emergencies (which include things like angioplasties and some cancer treatments) will not resume because the health care resources are being tied up managing hospitalized COVID patient loads. I can't help but feel like this doesn't make a lot of sense.
No it doesn't. There's been some relaxation here in the Netherlands. None essential shops are now allowed to open until 5pm but bars and restaurants, theatres, cinemas and museums still closed. Footy without fans.
It goes to show the best strategy at this stage of the pandemic is to build up immunity in the population with a combination of vaccines and infections. Despite the high levels of infection in the UK, it hasn't completely overwhelmed the NHS. To go back to lockdown does more harm than good IMO. People were ****ting themselves when Omicron was first discovered and initially for good reason. It really hasn't been nearly as bad as first feared.
Previous infection hasn't really led to durable immunity. That's kinda the issue. There is also a backlog of 6 million people awaiting treatment, so it really depends on one's definition of overwhelmed: https://www.theguardian.com/society...e-on-waiting-lists-for-nhs-surgery-in-england
The NHS is overwhelmed in part because of 10 years systemic underfunding prior to the pandemic. In any case, putting lives on hold indefinitely creates more problems than it solves. We’re all going to die one day anyway, but in the meantime we need to live, and we need to protect livelihoods.
This. The NHS had big problems way before Covid came along. People's mental health plus their livelihoods need protecting now.
Anyone who thinks the removal of all restrictions in England is anything but an attempt by Boris Johnson to stay in power is deluded. See the misgivings from the BMJ, NHS Confederation and many scientists. The NHS is operating at 93% capacity with high levels of staff absence and the highest waiting lists ever. The infection and death rate are amongst the highest worldwide hence the designation of the UK as an area of very high risk with all the travel restrictions that brings. What's the problem with using masks in shops and public transport and the use of Corona passes?
And yet again, if we're going to take that approach, there's a really simple solution: deny health care to anyone unvaccinated who contracts COVID. Suddenly beds would open up for the millions of people who need treatment for other reasons. After all, they're going to die someday, anyway, and they really only created this problem for themselves, right? That day might as well be next week. Also, the restaurant my friend manages had to close, then re-open, then close, then re-open, all within the span of a month, because so many of her staff either had COVID or were close contacts that they couldn't staff the place. And when they were open, they weren't busy. Lost significantly more money than if they'd just remained closed, because they had to throw out a lot of food. I'm not sure it's quite the solution for peoples' livelihoods that you believe.
Preventing uneccessary suffering and deaths whilst easing the pressure on the NHS and care sector by maintaining some restrictions passes, masks, distancing and hygiene. It's not a binary on/off that many see as the only way. As I said the removal of all restrictions is a political move that the data doesn't support.
