Who Gets Vaccinated First
Really just posting this in case somebody fancies doing a US version of this ...

My other half has been working in covid wards
he says most of the people who are really ill and dying are overweight and obese. So... shut-ins are really high-risk.

He wouldn't have died of covid
if he'd died of something else when he was younger.

He avoided pretty bad stuff in his youth.
The Teutonic variant of rapid onset lead poisoning for one.

Who'd ever guess
getting on a packed aircraft in the middle of an exceptionally virulent pandemic isn't a good idea when you're a hundred years old?

I thought that and then I read a timeline.
He was tested more than once after his return and tested negative. With an obviously compromised immune system due to age It seems he developed pneumonia first, then subsequently after medical treatment for that developed COVID. Almost definitely didn’t get COVID on his trip. Did it cause his pneumonia? Unknown, but likely IMO. Is he a cunt for selling out and jetting off? Well yeah, but he did nothing illegal, so we live in a time when vast swathes of people are essentially calling for more authoritarian and prohibitive governance that bans all international travel for an unknown and un-agreed time period.
Oh, and he was one fucking hundred years old.

Testing isn't always that reliable.
There's a case of a woman in New Zealand that tested negative, had no symptoms, spend two weeks in quarantine, tested negative again, then developed symptoms. www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-24/new-zealand-reports-first-community-coronavirus-case-in-months/13087244
Anyone who does any international travel in these ... interesting times is an arsehole, as far as I'm concerned.
That said, if you manage to survive a 100 years on this shitty planet, you can do whatever you like. You've bloody well earned it.

I think if BA is allowed to fly what can we expect?
But Piers Morgan can fuck himself over his trip to Antigua. Why has he got away with it barely criticised? Why has no major media organisation run the picture of him in a Nazi uniform? Where is the remote control?

BA is NOT allowed to fly.
This is because in 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune.

A nurse friend of mine usually works on an elderly ward, most of the covid deaths she sees are elderly patients.
I bet if she usually worked on a fatty ward most of the deaths she'd see would be fatties.

I´m a sailor...
I am surprised there is not a matrix between obligation of travel, risk and essential services.
- Before I worked in dredging. This can wait, back of the waiting room.
- Now I repair undersea internet cables - the kind that carries the internet and by extension essential services... 1st in lime methinks.
As an example, since the start of COVID, one specific cable between the UK/Ireland has had an anchor dropped on it 3 times.
(It is clearly on maps, and the damaged part is in a "No go, so sailing, no anchor" clearly marked on all maps.)
This cable down, then it is 1/4th of the internet capacity down in the south of the UK.
Luckily, other cables have a bit of spare capacity, so it gets spread out.
Nonetheless, if two such cables got anchored at the same time, then forget having Youtube, Netflix, Zoom or similar streaming stuff.
All the bandwidth will be taken by the NHS, Police, Hospitals etc.
