We are fatigued by it. Memes can jovially poke fun at the situation referencing and comparing that what was asked of wartime Britain to us being asked to watch box sets and stay in...but it’s not as simple as that. We carry the worry of debt, being forced to work in a hazardous environment in some cases or in an impossible one in others where home working just doesn’t quite fit your working model. We are also quite ‘woke’ as a nation and over-informed and even misled by MS and social media so we are aware that the post-Covid situation could be catastrophic to our mental and physical wellbeing.

The most fatiguing factor for me is the wealth and breadth of the unknown. You can plan on some assumptions but this situation offers a gulf of them around cures, vaccines, immunity, duration, mutation, side effects etc. Then non-medical unknowns like the public appetite to move, travel, trade, spend and invest once they are told it’s safer to move around...so much noise that it’s increasingly difficult to focus on the basic task of just staying in.
 
I have to admit I have largely switched off now. People want herd immunity, others don't. People want lockdown to be lifted, others say its too soon. For every fact derived opinion there is another fact derived opinion to the contrary. As Vim says, its fatiguing to say the least.
 
In a recent (today) briefing Sir Patrick Vallance the Chief Scientific Officer just admitted that some of the people with Covid 19 on their death certificates hadn’t actually been tested. It seems that in some cases doctors are just making a ‘best guess’. Wonder if that’s pushing the numbers up a wee bit.

Good God man! I don't read any newspaper these days. It was in my 'Twatter' feed. I did until recently read The Times but they've become purveyors of fake news as well so another one scrapped.

You should **** the scum off. It's a disgusting lying rag
 
Is it me or have journalists lost the ability of just reporting the news? They seem to have to give us their opinions instead of just the information we need. It increasingly seems to be becoming all about them. Peston, Rigby and Burley are a case in point.
 
Yes it's the Mail but it does allow you to see what fatalities have occurred in your postcode.

Map reveals location of hundreds of places to avoid a fatality

An interactive map using data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) has revealed hundreds of towns and villages which have avoided a single Covid-19 fatality during the pandemic.

TB's postcode shows currently a big fat ZERO, happy days.

My wee corner of Lincolnshire has very few recorded instances, none whatsoever in my particular ville. Perhaps the lack of any significant road networks in this county have helped!
 
An eighty year old man was run over by a lorry. The doctor put the cause of death down as Covid 19. Apparently someone had heard the lorry driver cough......
 
Been at least 6 Covid fatalities less than 100 yards from my house. A large recently built care home now has vacancies..... Although strangely the map doesn't show quite so many.

Susanna Reid sends Piers Morgan her 'very best wishes'

No that would be a proper shame if that pillar of society was a tiny bit poorly.

My guess is he's remaining off air whilst they try to get GMB's viewing figures back up.
 
I see from the newspapers that Boris feels that gym’s should not open in ‘Phase Two’ of his lockdown plans.

Congratulations Boris. Next election I’m voting a Labour. F**k you!
