We live in a country where the govt will ask the military to set up field hospitals & plan for mortuary capacity before enacting even the most basic public health measures to *prevent* this.

183,000 confirmed cases today - the silence is deafening.

If this is what “living with it” looks like, then I don’t want to “live with it”.

@WoodG252000 @ParisDaguerre @chrischirp I agree. Uncertainty is very destabilising.

UKHSA surveillance report shows reinfections rising sharply as Omicron takes hold

People like Julia Hartley-Brewer and Toby Young told us there wasn’t going to be a second wave, remember. I have no idea why their views on the pandemic are taken seriously.

[Georgie FBPE, Tory hater, EU rejoiner @GeorgieHristov]

I am not rich. Never been & never will be. I have enough money to support my self, live well and pay my bills and tax.
Sometimes I even put some money into my savings account.
I DON’T CLAIM MONEY from the government.
Filthy rich Tory MP’s claim money for everything.
Why?

Bankers did such a good job with running banks in 2008 we now have one in charge of the economy and one in charge of the health service.

@LuckyHeronSay Thatcher definitely had a hand in altering perception of the meaning of Christmas. It began with lifting the Sunday trading laws, she said no workers would be penalised for wanting to go to church on a Sunday but she lied. Everybody now knows capitalism comes before God

@ZombyWoof4 Disappeared with millions of taxpayers money?

@JackieS77856084 @The_Ouroboros__ @almuformby No - we should have voted to help the NHS.

[Antimani @Antimani1]

@almuformby Yes. Practically in lockdown as I’m isolating with Covid.

When the Mari Lwyd reached a house an appeal was made for permission to sing. Then "the company began recounting in song the hard fate of mankind in the dark cold days of winter. The lead singer would beg those inside to be generous with their cakes and beer"

Christmas in Wales:
The Mari Lwyd (the man wearing the skeleton of a horse’s head) "was enveloped in a large white sheet and proceeded round the houses, followed by a merry procession, singing songs, playing merry pranks & collecting Christmas boxes."

I'll be updating this thread with lots of Welsh folklore as we count down to Christmas, sources to follow. The Mari Lwyd photo above gets used a lot this time of year, it was originally taken for one of my stories in South Wales Evening Post many moons ago. Nadolig llawen!

@elrington1952 Meeeeee!

Here is a GOOD thing. Barely any flu this year so far.

[Antimani @Antimani1]

This is worth paying attention to.

@dgurdasani1 The UK's approach is truly unfathomable to me. Surely at the very least FFP2 masks should be mandatory in all indoor settings. In Austria our mini-lockdown has brought cases down from 10,000 to 3,000 a day.
