The lockdown
Jul 14, 2021 13:17:53 #
If you've been watching the pandemic response in Britain, it may seem somewhat erratic. It appears that the medical advisors couldn't reach consensus when asked about easing the current lockdown:
Allergists were in favour of scratching it, but Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.
Gastroenterologists had a sort of a gut feeling about it, but Neurologists thought the government lacked the nerve.
Obstetricians felt certain everyone was labouring under a misconception, while Ophthalmologists considered the idea short-sighted.
Many Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while Paediatricians said, "Oh, grow up!"
Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while Radiologists could see right through it.
Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and Pharmacists claimed it would be a bitter pill to swallow.
Plastic Surgeons opined that this proposal would "put a whole new face on the matter."
Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but Urologists were pissed off by the whole idea.
Anaesthetists thought the whole idea was gas, and Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in politics!

Our daughter is 3rd year Medical school, I think I will send this to her for comic relief.

Good for a laugh, but while I sit here in Old Blighty I'm wondering why we employed a team of knowledgeable experts (who, to be fair, have served us very well) only to disregard thier advice with recent U.K. Government update.
Couldn't be because they lost a By-Election they should have won without turning up could it?

My daughter works at a covid test centre in the UK and in four weeks people coming with suspected Covid has risen from around 50 a day too 856 yesterday. But we are still stopping all restrictions on the 19th despite expert worrying about the figures.

Hilarious and probably more truthful than anything else I have read about the virus.

Numbers are rising here, too. Numbers had been going down steadily, but now they're going up every day. People think this is all over so it's going to be very difficult to put restrictions back in place.

As long as there are so many people that refuse to get a vaccination, and with the new more contagious strain now dominate, restrictions will not help. Ignorance and stupidity is not a crime. Although in this case maybe it should be.

I prefer living to not, and I prefer healthy to sick. I went to the store without a mask for the first time in over a year yesterday. I think I was safe, though, because I didn't breathe until I got outside.

And Photographers just framed the whole situation up and shuttered to think about the future picture if things didn't change.
