Once again a patient with upper respiratory symptoms just told me they do not have Covid because they had a negative home Covid test. A positive test is pretty reliable in saying Covid is present but a negative test (especially if not doing serial tests) does not rule out Covid. Still limit contact with others and wear a high quality mask. Even if not Covid, there is no point in spreading other viruses to others.

#JeremyHunt's tactics on the 'economically inactive' vary by age & #class!:
'If you’re off work because you’re spending more time on the golf course, you could get tax breaks. If you left your job because you were diagnosed with Parkinson’s, you may get a call from the fraud squad. The government is trying a carrot & stick approach to fix the labour gap, except the over-50s get the carrot & the long-term sick get the stick'!
The #Tories moral universe in one story!

if Rishi Sunak wants to bring some integrity into his corrupt flatlining Government he should really consider the lettuce

Poverty is no longer a hated symptom, it is a carefully crafted Tory weapon. #CostOfLivingCrisis #ToryBudgetingTips #ToriesOut #UniversalCredit 1 #SueGray #Newsnight #TorySleaze
I've been listening to a concentration playlist track on Amazon music
By far the weirdest thing is the whale song
It's not helping me concentrate in the slightest but it's strangely compelling
Fuck the economy, I care far more about people.

Doing nothing to prevent infections isn’t very bright. We are causing high levels of long term disability. This is causing labour shortages and also adding to inflation. The policy of pretending covid is over is damaging our economy.

"Ninety years on from the Enablement Act that gave rise to the most monstrous political movement in history, Britain is about to replicate the frightful final flourishes from the Nazi playbook on establishing a fascist authoritarian regime..."

Terrible predatory forces are eating away at the country. The corporatists, militarists and political mandarins that serve them are the enemy. It is not our job to make them more appealing, but to destroy them.
Kier Starmer is always making pledges, have you noticed?
Maybe the word means something different when you're a lawyer, I dunno.

What exactly are we going to replace the ECHR with? Three middle-aged blokes called Barry wearing string vests in a Lancashire Wetherspoons?

@Baddiel The man on the right has spent the last 8 years smearing the man on the left as racist. And people take him seriously.
That's how f*cked up this country is.
RT @simonmaginn
Corbyn has 'unconscious bias' claims Baddiel, neatly encapsulating the sheer absurdity of the hate campaign against Corbyn.
How does Baddiel know what's in Corbyn's head?
It's almost as if Baddiel has 'unconscious bias' against Corbyn...
It all just gets sillier and sillier.

'As soon as inflation tumbles the suggestion will be made that there is no need for inflationary pay rises. That, of course, will be nonsense. Falling inflation does not reduce absolute price levels. Only deflation does that.'

The question shouldn't be "Why do Black folk see racism in everything?"
The question should be "Why do white folk not see any of this?"
The answer to the better question is of course, that there is an information delta between "what Black folk know about racism" and "what white folk know about racism."
Racist people don't want you to know any of this stuff. Because some people, on reading this stuff, say, "Sounds bad. We should maybe change things to be less bad?"
