At work with a mask on - Sucks

(1/9) > >>

neXus:
Lockdown last couple of weeks mainly due to idiots and a mess of a government and state government here in Sydney NSW.
Been going in office most days and you got to wear a mask while working. Desk job coding but I can tell you its not fun :(

neXus:
Another week of Lockdown :(

zpyder:
Meanwhile in NZ I'm getting increasingly nervous for when covid inevitably gets in and stays in. We've been so sheltered from it the world will have moved on when NZ is learning to deal with it. Like most things here, we're years behind heh.

Serious:
The latest variants are not specifically more dangerous, but due to sheer numbers of people infected the variants have become more infective.

UK government has been particularly ineffective on purpose, bribing friends' companies rather than companies that know what they are doing. The only good thing they have done is buy as many vaccines as possible, but even that was a gamble. Distribution was left down to the NHS and volunteers, nothing to do with Boris and co. Vaccines though are not 100% effective, there is always going to be people who get the disease even if they don't show it. The idea is to reduce that number so it dies out, which the government is not helping with.  Not blocking travel from India means we have a very highly infective variant. Entirely down to government stupidity, or more precisely Boris Johnson and friends.

Wearing a mask might not be pleasant, with fibromyalgia I overheat very quickly during summer anyway without one, but it helps protect you and everyone else. I am fully vaccinated but still wear one whenever I leave the house. This is not a short term item as the Tories claim.
