I am going to take a positive view that the video clip posted by Dio is of the very most stupid people thst day rather than representative of the whole.

Been in the office today it was so quiet majority of on site workers have either been sent back home if possible or spread out wider. Was taking to. Friend she said one of our employees staunch anti-vaxxer is now on a ventilator with severe covid. They are hearing of others with similar views now getting done and hope the message makes people think this is serious. Called to tesco on way home chatted to the cashier she said the vast majority are wearing masks across the age groups there was a family in front of me without masks hence the conversation but she said they’ve seen little change so far. |

I think we only ever see the minority of people but the media makes us think it’s majority.

The people who make the effort to turn up to a protest are always going to have strong views. I'll probably stop wearing a mask for popping into a shop for a pint of milk but I'll continue with it anywhere where I spend more time or it's more crowded - TfL are keeping them on public transport in London anyway. |

According to a research study I'm part of, I no longer have antibodies from infection (diagnosed pos test 27.12). It's a bit of a blow tbh
