    What's interesting is looking at the symptoms of early variants to more recent variants like Delta and now Omicron.


    The newer the variant the more likely you are to see symptoms like sneezing and a runny nose. The newer the variant the less likely you are to see symptoms like fatigue, fever, loss of smell, sore throat.

    In just a few years Covid has changed it's symptoms to make us behave in a way to spread more (runny noses and sneezing are great vectors... those nice juices we produce to spread it to other people).

    It's also less likely to give symptoms that make you feel so crummy you want to stay home.

    Still dangerous of course, but it's fascinating how it is mutating to look more like classic/generic upper respiratory diseases already out there. I think people expected it to follow this path, but it's interesting how quickly it has gone from generalist disease that infects everywhere to specializing in our respiratory system where it can more effectively spread.

    Whatever gets most purchase spreads best I expect. I dont know why the human body is less reactive and less damaging to itself at this point but perhaps it is and its just the location is less damaging to the person?

    The inflammation of lungs etc that was causing so much issues seems to no longer be present but who know with all the vaccinations etc

    Proper dead arm today. Forgot how annoying that was after the first 2.

    Had the Moderna one for my booster after the Pfizer one for the first two. Dead arm seems worse this time than before but might just because it’s current so feels worse

    That is what is being said all round.

    Some people have got proper reactions off the 3rd one with modern so th e dead arm ain't too bad.

    I had similar but worked it off with a bit of stretching over the head.

    Yeah trying to keep it moving. So far feel fine. Although do have a small sniffly nose but not sure if that’s reaction to the jab or not. If this is worse I get I can live with it

    Well technically if you have no symptoms you don’t need to isolate assuming you’ve been jabbed.

    Meh, shove him in a room with no sharp edges and leave him to it. Will learn some independence.

    Haven’t you got multiple children? Can just look after each other <whistle>

    He's not got symptoms, thinks it's great being off school now he's realised testing positive doesn't mean you get delivered to a secure room to be terminated <laugh>

    One Starmer beer equals twelve Downing Street parties: the Daily Mail guide to maths
    17th January 2022

    MATHEMATICS is yet another great British instutition captured by hard-left teachers who insist on things ‘adding up’. Here’s how patriots do it:

    One Starmer beer = 12 parties in Downing Street

    Innumerate idiots in the left-wing press somehow think that a mere 12 parties total bad news for the government. No. First, the number of parties is N+1, where N is the current number and one more is added each day. Second, the leader of the opposition drinking a single beer generates the anger of (N+1) cubed.

    Four Labour colleagues + Starmer x bottle of beer = lockdown rave

    Keir Starmer represents a deforming number less than zero, so when the multiplying effects of a bottle of Peroni are added, this was a 600-person illegal lockdown rave that directly killed 40,000 people. Resignation logically follows.


    Party + (Boris + Carrie + Wilfred) = work event

    It is not mathematically sustainable for a party to exist in the presence of variables like the prime minister, his lovely wife and their charming baby. The waveform of ‘party’ collapses to become a ‘work event’, which retrospectively changes Covid rules to allow itself.

    Infinite number of parties ÷ Sue Gray report = 6 sacked aides – (licence fee x Navy gunboats in channel)

    The function of a Sue Gray report is to remove all primes from the equation, meaning that a few sacked aides, a show of military force and the government’s little BBC present to Rupert reduce infinity to zero consequences.

    Brexit = permanent happiness forever

    This is absolutely basic stuff that children should be learning before they can even count. It’s foundational to the kind of maths we will be building our country on. That 2 + 2 = 4 stuff is outdated. The logic of our position demands it is whatever the Party says it is.

    "They see themselves whenever possible as victims, and resent their victim status; yet at the same time they wallow in it.” Just like you now, Boris, arsehole. God, please let there be more pain yet to come for him.
