By Christmas Day there will be (an estimated, always fucking estimated) 55,000 NHS employees at home with Covid. Oh. My. Gooooooooodddd…

Will any of them be ill, dying, ready for hospitalisation, at death’s door or ready for euthanising? No. Will they be ‘ill’, feel poorly, a bit under the weather? Yeah, a few, for about 3/4 days. Then they’re just sitting there, feeling fine, asymptomatic and probably no longer capable of transmitting it to others. But for another 5 days, its Netflix, Big Mac deliveries and as much booze as they’re poor livers can absorb. Oh, and boredom and guilt. There’s always balance in life.

Thus, is the problem ‘omicron’? Or is the problem the stupidly over-cautious 10-day arbitrary isolation period?

Because if the NHS is affected, so are schools, rail and bus services, ambulances, police, fire departments…

And here’s the best bit: ITS ALL A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS! We’ve been duped, again and again, by our misguided, misled, mistimed, underperforming, over-exaggerating government. Without wishing to sound all Piers Corbyn about this, the current reaction to ‘the pandemic’ is stupid. And cobbled together from the early ‘bits’ when we knew nothing about the virus, and various add-ons as conditions changed. Without anyone taking a proper, objective, bottom-up view and re-wiring our Covid rules. And we need it now.

We were told ‘the vaccination is the answer’!!! And it was. Unfortunately, they got the question wrong. Then it was ‘second vaccinations’, followed by ‘boosters’!!! All of which I’ve had and I’m ready for more. Soon to be an addict. Yet oddly, people are still getting Covid, in their hundreds of thousands. Yet, praise be, none are going to hospital and none are dying. So someone in government has to look at this and think: WTF???

It’s not working. The economy is dying, the pubs closing down, businesses doomed, not because of the pandemic but because of the government’s response to the pandemic. And the panic about ‘overloading the NHS’ which really is not going to happen. Other than with all the other operations and procedures which aren’t being done due to covid-paranoia.

Chris Witty can fuck off, Boris can go to hell (it’s only a matter of time anyway), we need some new blood in there. Someone who can think outside of the ‘box’. That ‘box’ currently constructed using panic, paranoia, overreaction, ignorance and lack of logic.

I’ve ‘ad enough.
