NOt sure if its just me but the amount of people that ive met that either have gone/are going to Majorca this year is staggering. I know it’s always been fairly popular but above any other year, it has to be one of the leading holiday destinations.
seanc80 I only go for cycling and well outside school holidays, so it’s actually all quite chilled, but fuck me, you see the sheer number of baggage reclaim belts (it’s like the pod farms from The Matrix) and you can only imagine how horrific it would be in school holidays. The cycling is fantastic everywhere there.
I was watching that Manchester airport fly on the wall doco thingy a bit back and they said on that Majorca was the number one destination for missing luggage 
Cankles-McJeggings Better pack two pairs of Crocs.
jonattonyeah Around here it’s a logistical issue. In the prior two whatever years there was an entire Covid infrastructure in place with many of us 100% FTE on that. I’m now 100% back on HIV along with most others who returned to their normal jobs. We were hoping for insurance/medical homes to take over the lead for vaccines and boosters as we, as the public department, help those with no safety net. But we seem to have some bottlenecks. The other problem is that the model used for disaster service work is taken from FEMA which is more of a military approach in the event of an earthquake or hurricane. It was never intended to be something that lasted as long as this has. Square peg, round hole. Wish I had better answers but I’m not sure what the plan is.
Yo, Jonattan, what’s it like to be challenging Hugo for the most boring poster award these days?
I don’t think I’ve bothered fully reading a Jonattan post since his last Essential Mixes Ranked one.
Paragraphs of tedium.
JTY is sound!
Someone should lock him and Amps in their own thread.
NasserAlazzawi is it true Cyprus have brought back masks indoors for public venues?
Majorca is for people who don’t have the minerals to go to Ibiza.
Yes starting just yesterday.
NasserAlazzawi that’s completely insane
What about Corfu?
I was watching a panel of experts (one from U.K. , Netherlands and somewhere else) on some news channel over here and they were noticing the public are getting fatigued with the idea of worrying about covid.
They said whilst the vaccines are less capable than normal of stopping people catching it all together, when people are vaccinated it’s more or less coming across as a bad head cold.
But what we don’t see and what breaks their heart is that - even with Omicron - there are severe hospitalisations from people who were too scared / believed the hype about being unvaccinated and many have died.
They are working on modifying the vaccine for the latest variants but their many worry is that the first line of defence may be waning if people get complacent about the fourth (or any) vaccine and they couldn’t overstate the urgency that we do keep boosting until a longer term solution is found.
There are 2 million people in the U.K. alone severely debilitated with long covid (jobs lost, a shadow of their former selves) and this scares me most - i know a few people personally with it and it’s a really grim change in quality of life.
It was a bit of a wake up call for me hearing this as I have definitely been in the ‘completed it mate’ cocky group for a while having had it in April - but the rates here are absolutley jumping here again as they are around the world - and I’m sat in peak summer cyprus where we are so much more outdoors so not looking forward to winter!
This is exactly why I got the second booster
Should I be getting a 4th jab?
The answer is yes, alongside a few right hooks and a few uppercuts.
