Although it's a little early I really do wish this for everyone:

I feel very sorry for all those lorry drivers queuing to get across the channel. Many aren't going to make it before Christmas as the backlog is going to take a good while to clear.  :(

Indeed, and given it was the sort of situation that the govt had supposedly been planning  for happening just a few days early seems to show that their plans weren't that good, certainly not oven ready.

France fast tracking immigration for front line workers. Seems a good idea.

Bristol enjoyed the heady freedoms of tier 2 for exactly a week.

Fareham will go into tier 4 which is not unexpected. All the Gosport people were whinging about Fareham because Fareham has more cases per 100,000 and Gosport is already in tier 4.

Peculiar psychiatric symptoms of Covid 19.

https://in.yahoo.com/news/voice-told-kill-kids-small-091230722.html

**********

...sobbing and saying that she kept seeing her children, ages 2 to 10, being gruesomely murdered and that she herself had crafted plans to kill them.

“It was like she was experiencing a movie, like ‘Kill Bill,’” Goueli, a psychiatrist, said.

The patient described one of her children being run over by a truck and another decapitated. “It’s a horrifying thing that here’s this well-accomplished woman and she’s like ‘I love my kids, and I don’t know why I feel this way that I want to decapitate them,’” he said.

The only notable thing about her medical history was that the woman, ........... had become infected with the coronavirus in the spring. She had experienced only mild physical symptoms from the virus, but, months later, she heard a voice that first told her to kill herself and then told her to kill her children.

“But then,” he said, “we saw a second case, a third case and a fourth case, and we’re like, ‘There’s something happening.’”

Indeed, doctors are reporting similar cases across the country and around the world. A small number of COVID patients who had never experienced mental health problems are developing severe psychotic symptoms weeks after contracting the coronavirus.

Very odd and frightening disease...

I've read two separate experts talking about the possibility, albeit slim, of eventually eradicating Covid-19 altogether, rather than just learning to live with it and controlling it, which I think is the main aim. If it could be eliminated, that'd be great.
I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."
