They certainly are muppets seeing as the U.K. is recording larger numbers every day
with almost 52K cases being recorded for this reporting period. :-O

The world's total case tally has now passed 190.3 million while deaths have exceeded 4,092,000. :-(

At the top end of the death list Tunisia removed Portugal from a short lived 34th place after Bangladesh hopped over Portugal and Bolivia to claim 32nd as Chile replaced Romania in 20th spot and now onto that case list.

The Isle of Man passed Mauritius, but they remain in 193rd place as the British Virgin Islands coasted by the Caribbean Netherlands and both of them to claim 192nd, Saint Martin nudged Sao Tome/Principe out of 188th while Sint Maarten was displaced from 184th by Monaco, Laos took 181st from Liechtenstein as Guinea-Bissau moved into 179th past Comoros, the Channel Islands sailed on past Sierra Leone and Eritrea into 168th and Timor-Leste finally became the 160th member of the 10K+ club.

Hong Kong was removed from 155th by Lesotho, the Bahamas passed Martinique and Togo passed Mali, but they remain in 151st & 146th as Fiji took another flight over them and 7 other countries to land in 143rd as Haiti claimed 136th from Mayotte, Malawi slipped past Angola, but they also remain in 120th because Vietnam took flight over them and 4 other countries to touchdown in 117th, Rwanda replaced Jamaica in 115th while Cambodia took Singapore out of 111th and Zimbabwe passed the Maldives to take over 108th spot.

Botswana jumped past Cameroon and El Salvador into 105th place, Mozambique sipped past China to take over 101st while Latvia was taken out of 91st by Afghanistan, Myanmar disposed of Bosnia/Herzegovina and Libya to claim 80th as Cuba leapt over Moldova, Slovenia and Bahrain into 74th, Honduras replaced Ethiopia in 72nd and even though Ireland passed Lithuania they still remain in 70th because Sri Lanka jumped over both to take up 69th spot.

Thailand hopped over Croatia and then Uruguay to move into 59th spot, Kazakhstan swept Ecuador from 46th as Morocco displaced Lebanon from 42nd, Bangladesh basted Romania out of 28th while South Africa flung Ukraine from 17th and India has reopened the 31M+ clubhouse after 3 months of being deserted.

Meanwhile here down under Sydney's limo driver outbreak now numbers 1138 along with 3 deaths (along with several border leaks) and Gladys is slowly starting to turn her softdown into a proper lockdown, but most of us wonder why she just refuses to go into full lockdown mode which really should've been done 4 weeks ago and we could've been near the end of this outbreak by now instead of it constantly spreading further. :-(

Anyhow, until next time stay safe and sensible.

Because she like Boris is a lousy manager and not a Leader.

To quote General Patton - “A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.”

Well they'd like to think that it's their $'s. ;-)

Meanwhile here down under in greater Sydney the limo driver outbreak has now hit 1243 infections with another 105 being added today along with another death (another woman in her 90's, vaccine status unknown) taking that total to 4. :-)

Now even our conservative P.M. is imploring Gladys to fully lockdown greater Sydney and put a ring of steel around it (I'm staying away from the local pub until they do).

Of those 76 are now in hospital with 18 of them in ICU and 7 of those are being ventilated. :-(

But with half of Hollywood living and working over here ATM why would Big Brother Australia want to import this covidiot (or even Caitlyn Jenner for that matter)?

Katie Hopkins trolls Sydney’s lockdown from hotel quarantine.

Though her antics are now under investigation.

+1
However, returning home early this afternoon, I've been wondering.
Do I have a strange sense of humour or has my sense of history gone astray?
Some weeks ago, was informed that the NHS vaccine centres list has been updated to include more local ones compared to the original lists, which in my case, showed the closest was 28 miles away.
Now includes several within 2-5 miles. Nice
Once checked out the list, booked 2nd jab for last Sunday. Sadly, due to flooding it was shut.
Rebooked for this morning job done.
Know for a fact I was not "badged" at the 1st jab but no problem, also can't recall getting the same lot of docs as today.
Who needs vaccine passports, just carry the card you get, in fact it does state in red: Make sure you keep this record card in your purse or wallet.
Then they "badged" me (done before I could ask or object).

Well that covidiot Katie Hopkins has now had her visa cancelled by the Home Affairs Minister and she'll be on a plane heading home this afternoon (I wonder if she had her clothes on for that bit of news). :-)

Meanwhile the U.K. has taken 1st spot in the new daily case list for the 2nd day in a row from Indonesia. :-O

And with the recent surge in infections happening in the U.S. (led by the state of Trumpsville) the completion and grand opening of the 35M+ clubhouse is imminent, but we just have to wait for all those states and counties over there that don't report there numbers anymore over weekends to find out exactly when that will be.

Here we should have the bulk of our daily numbers in over the next 3hrs to see had badly Gladys' lockdown is doing which word has it that won't be good. :-(

Real world cause-and-effect:


'Pingdemic' threatens shop openings
wrote:
Supermarkets have warned they will have to cut opening hours or even shut shops if the number of workers forced to self-isolate continues to rise.

M&S said the number of workers being notified by the NHS app is rising exponentially, and it may have to reduce hours...

"... there's a risk that there won't be sufficient staff to open shops."...


Note that:

  • We have a highly contagious/infectious virus that has very successfully made a pandemic.

  • We have relaxed/removed all restrictions to getting infected.

  • (Hence!) We have rapidly increasing infections.

  • We have an 'app' that reports some of those likely to become infected.

  • (Hence!) The 'app' is reporting exponentially more people likely to be infected...



Cause. Effect. Consequences.

Where/how does that somehow not make sense to people?


Stay safe folks!!

Global shares slide amid Covid economic recovery fears
wrote:
Stock markets across the UK, Europe and the US dropped sharply on Monday on fears that rising numbers of Covid cases will hamper economic recovery.

London's FTSE 100 fell 2.6% to below the 7,000 level...

In New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled by more than 2% while major share indexes in France and Germany also fell.

In England, most remaining Covid restrictions were lifted on Monday.

However, new cases are continuing to rise in some countries fuelled by the Delta variant of the virus.

Meanwhile, businesses in the UK have described how they are cutting opening hours, closing shops or may have to reduce production as employees are forced to self-isolate...



There are Consequences...
