Another magical yearly tradition gone.

Well this is bizarre

Ads all over the radio this week for a Gary Barlow tour next June. Tickets for Dublin leg went on sale this morning. Surely youā€™d want your head examined to be buying tickets for that?

Have you no life outside of bandwagons?

Itā€™s the little things youā€™d start to miss. I always enjoy getting a fry and few pints in Bruxelles the morning of a November international.

The vaccine is basically here. Iā€™m tempted to book a ski holiday in February.

Booking it in February for December 2021 you mean :laughing:

All these numbers will become pointless in a few short weeks. The vaccine is basically here.

Your dog is pissing at the wrong lamppost here bud. Geldof is perceived to be a cunt on this forum, his oulā€™ bit of a title isnā€™t recognised here.

Nordie caught forelock tugging againā€¦

What a headline

The Chinese are already vaccinating.

That is such a Guardian piece :smile:

Amazing how they knew how to stop it so quickly.

Unreal. Itā€™s possibly the most Guardian story ever.

Gary will have got the heads up about any potential vaccine.

They are not hired solely for the purposes of the actual test and trace process. They are contracted to plan, strategise etc. and likely have lots of very junior consultants on ridiculous charge out rates, not producing anything very useful, and with powerpoint slides coming out their arses.

It is an absolute bonanza for consultancies, including other advisory aspects outside of test and trace.

Iā€™ve a theory that the Chinese started the virus in a lab and gave it to a 1000 healthy people and sent them off around the world.

They put in fail safes to stop it spreading like wild fire in China and knew even if it did spread it wasnā€™t that deadly to 99 percent of people with limited social distancing.

Masks were already a big thing in China.

Theyā€™ve basically destroyed the worlds economy except their own in the mean time.

Now magically they have managed to come up with a vaccine in jig time.

Theyā€™ll end up looking like heroes in all of this and also make a fortune off selling the vaccine.

I believe the term used is a biological weapon.

@Tierneevin1979 have other Coronavirus caused the types of lingering illnesses they are seeing in people who got covid-19? People claiming they are struggling to walk, seizures etc?
