This is definately my next movie to go see but The Event situation where I am is getting sketchy so putting all plans on hold until I see what the bods in charge actually do. So far it's a rerun of Wave One where they waited until it hit 88mph before having to kneejerk so hard their shoes...

I go to my local shop once every couple of days. Up until August people were still keeping distance and wearing masks. Now, it's litterally me and the person behind the counter still wearing masks.

It's the difference between infection rates and hospitalisation rates, isn't it? With the knowledge we have that Vaccines are not sterilising (killing the virus off before it can reach an infectious level), only making COVID survivable or not noticeable at all if you have it, people who have...
