My UK 2022 Covid expectations.
"Hostage to Fortune" time.
I predict, based on my perceptions, UK 2022 excess death toll will be in the range of 30K-50K.
The measure of my "rightness" will be the published actuaries.org.uk numbers (in Jan 2023)

I had doubts whether this was real ...
So I checked the Guardian, and found it was.
(last letter in those listed, when I checked at c. 18:25 GMT Tuesday 20th February 2024)
Chapeau, Terry!

MP apparently "on the take" loses appeal to finding that said he was likely "on the take".
My local MP may be a spineless brown-noser, but, so far, he has shown more sense than to be apparently involved in lifestyle or corruption "incidents"

Given that my spouse was away, I do not think I could have caught it from her before the 13th Feb (when she came back).
In Autumn/Winter it is hard to tell if vague signs mean much, but yesterday evening I started to get some "proper" symptoms.
Exposure to Positive = 5 days.

Rather close to me.
Half a railway, at double the cost, connecting the wrong two stations in London and Birmingham, via the wrong route and built to the wrong loading gauge.
But at least it passes the other side of town from me.

I glad that it passes a few miles away from my small house and very small garden!
I think the count is now 4 sinkholes.
Dirty great holes appearing randomly, like some demented video game.
