The Covid-19 Thread

A 32 bottle wine fridge it was. 32 bottles a week which they sent someone down to the local Tesco to load up into a suitcase to bring back.

The civil service used to have a really boozy culture in general. Our old offices used to have a full bar in the break area and people would get pissed at lunch times. It was largely stamped out over the course of the early 2000s apparently but clearly Downing Street staff didn't get the memo.

They must have been absolutely plastered on that, the poor cleaners probably had to pressure hose the bathroom out the next morning.

Nice to see Rogan going through some things...

They’re finally giving him the boot.

Anyone here had the Moderna booster? Wondering what side effects people have experienced. I've had joint/muscle pains, felt spaced out and not with it at all, fever/shivers.

Really do not want this again.

[Wrathbone]

Yeah, my booster was Moderna. The next day I was freezing cold and couldn’t get warm. No headache but some general joint/body aches. After that it was just the standard arm pain for a few days.

[Animalmother]

I got the Moderna as a booster, apart from a sore arm for a couple of days I had no ill effects. But everyone is going to be different.

[Mantis]

Similar side effects for me with my Moderna booster, big difference to the first two Pfizer jabs. Had it early in the morning and by the late evening I was starting to feel pretty achy, then the next morning for most of the working day I just felt exhausted and every joint and muscle ached like the kind of fatigue you get with a typical flu. It more or less cleared up after about 36 hours though.

[Rusty]

I've had Pfizer jabs then a pfizer booster. Felt under the weather all weekend but had worse. Still better than Covid.

[Rossell]

Managed to have a really good sleep and feeling much better for the moment. Still tired but that's probably going to be resolved with my sleep pattern returning.

Boris Johnson has "categorically" denied he was warned a drinks party in the No 10 garden risked breaking lockdown rules.

"Nobody warned me that it was against the rules," the prime minister said, adding: "I would have remembered that."

Nobody warned you. The problem was that nobody thought to warn the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, the same Prime Minister that was doing daily briefings telling people not to mix households and to stay indoors, that holding a party when the rest of the country was locked down was against the rules.

Fuck off you lying sack of shit. Go take whatever ridiculously well paid corporate job you've lined up during your time in power, go and have the life of ridiculous expense you think you've convinced yourself you've earned, just get out of the fucking job already. I'm so angry at the sheer contempt this man shows the country he allegedly governs.

[Mantis]

So he's either a liar or serially incompetent and didn't even know his own rules which he briefed daily. Not a great look.

Every single one of the cabinet who have been on TV defending him over this all make my skin crawl. Absolute scumbags.

[Wrathbone]

It's a headline that wouldn't be out of place on the Daily Mash. How he can come out with those words and expect to be taken seriously is beyond me.
