Mathematics or Maths is down to the fact there are many disciplines in the numbers game: arithmetic, trigonometry, calculus...

Math would be short for Mathematic which is an adjective. #JustSayin'

How we all doing on the mental health front? I've been keeping a close eye my older relatives and I can tell you it's scary stuff.

My Father-in-law should have been shielding (the whole shopping left on the doorstep gig, in some sick Covid version of Knockdown Ginger) but... got the letter from the NHS about it almost a year too late Regardless he knew he should be tucked away but went "fuck it!" and rode out and enjoyed the empty roads even in the most severe of the lockdowns.

I'm glad he did.

Without that escape route one of us would have had to move in with him just to be on the safe side. Great! Everyone's alive but now you have two miserable people

As it is we've all "carried on regardless" in the great British tradition and I would gauge he's relatively happy. I dread to think of what's happened to people who've stuck to the Covid lockdown rules religiously.

We have been OK considering I had to isolate.

Wifie had her running

I had my boat.

Otherwise i suspect one of us would have been under the decking.

Seriously, I can handle being out of circulation for months on end. I've done 9 on one ship without getting ashore and that was without internet. I'm basically a loner and like my own company.

Wifie on the other had is a hugger, a gregarious 'must be with others' type of person. It's been much harder for her.

14 months in working from home.

Not had to deal with idiots
DIY all up to date
Garden has never looked so good.
Cars and bike all clean and being used
Not had to go near an office
No commute
Shopping still delivered & and no missed deliveries. On First name terms with all my delivery drivers
Not had to tolerate the company of people i had to pretend i gave a shit about.

The relatively few negatives involve not seeing family when I wanted or being comfortable seeing the few friends I care about.

The route back to being productive in an office and wanting to mingle with the great unwashed is probably the biggest mental hurdle that's yet to be overcome.

Other than that I could merrily do another 12+ months of this.

Coronavirus passports by the back door?

NHS app ready to become vaccine passport next week

People who want to go abroad yet don't want a jab have already been bleating about 'discrimination' if covid passports are brought in. Now it seems the NHS app will show if you have had vaccinations so dispensing with the need for a seperate vaccine passport. This is not the covid app, it's the standard NHS one that's been around for a good while. I've been using it ages.

Some could say a clever/sneaky way to introduce vaccine passports without introducing vaccine passports.

Working in the middle East (resident status) we 'have' to install a couple of government apps to manage this COVID Bullshite.

"Tawakkalna (Covid-19 KSA) is the official Saudi Contact Tracing app. approved by the Saudi Ministry of Health to prevent the spread of coronavirus, and was developed by the National Information Center."

This tracks everyone who is registered on the app via internet.

It tracks:
PCR test results.
COVID infection record.
Vaccinations.
If you've been diagnosed with COVID then if you do not die your app indicates that you have immunity.

We were all advised to install this by the company.

There is very little drama over it.

There is a fcuking minority bleating about not wanting to be prejudiced by any similar system in U.K.
(Possibly in other Cuntrys where one is afforded a Right to Protest)
Its currently the excuse NHS Scotland (SNP) are using to buffer implementation of similar on their NHS Scotland covid Track and Trace app.

I need certificatation to get back to fcuking work.
I'm now paying a price for a minority.

Where are the people bleating about ID needed to vote being "transphobic" on the issue of Covid passports?
