Yesterday's sewing.

We're hoping to move over from disposable FFP3s to Cambridge Masks FFP2s in the near future, but our ears can't take the strain. These along with some button hole elastic, should help to take the pressure off.

now
after demonstrating
that lying in office
is the expected norm
you know what to think
about their guidance
that the pandemic
is over

really
you would think
they should prefer
to wear masks
so no one can see
when their mouths
are moving

this
is the only answer
wear two masks
one to cover your eyes
the other for your ears
and thereby avoid
unmitigated
distress

This thread is grim. Everyone's getting sick because here in we do the absolute bare minimum to try and prevent it.

In the meantime, our GP surgery has texted all patients saying they are overwhelmed and asking us not to contact them unless absolutely necessary. Instead they're sending us links to self help websites.

I had a hospital out patient appointment this morning (full cudos to NHS staff for weekend clinics), plenty of bare faces, chin warmers & few masks being worn correctly. How, after nearly 3 years, is it possible for medical/reception staff to not know how to wear a mask? And why, oh why, do NHS staff not have proper respirators? Mine was the only FFP3 in sight.

Welcome to where people literally don't give a toss about potentially killing or disabling others during a pandemic.

Employers like @Tesco@twitter.com sending covid positive unmasked drivers into vulnerable people's homes and employees too selfish to wear a 😷 says it all.

@pseudonymsupreme even a cold knocks me out at this point. My heart goes out to all the young people who are being infected with this over and over. My poor grandson. It breaks my heart ❤️.

@OcreJulia due to start meds in January that will weaken my immunity, I just hoped this would be a safe weekend to spend with my daughter, shopping and watching her choir do a Christmas concert, the person who stands next to her has just tested positive. I took a chance, rolled the dice and I’ve lost.

We popped over to the church for their Xmas community cafe today. We took our coats off, heard the coughing all around us then witnessed a volunteer server sneeze over someone's food, so promptly packed up and left. We just didn't feel safe to slip our FFP3s off to eat, even with our personal HEPAs on the table. And so started the festive season. :-(

"A lack of mixing"

Seriously?

More like far too much mixing in maskless poorly ventilated classrooms and nurseries resulting in way too many covid hits to their little unvaccinated immune systems. 😪

"Dame Kate Bingham, who spearheaded the UK's vaccination programme in 2020, also accused the government of going "backwards" in its preparation against future pandemics."

Why is the U.K. STILL intent on spreading covid around as much as possible?

Obviously expecting the government to care is a stretch too far, but surely the penny will drop soon @RishiSunak@twitter.com - an unhealthy population is not a profitable one.
