    ### - oh boy, with the law here now demanding that everyone who tests
    positive for covid goes into isolation for at least 10-days, am getting
    images of the uk literally slowly grinding to a halt as the huge tidal
    wave of infections from omicron, now expected, literally forces everyone
    into a self-imposed isolation right across the nation?

    e.g., a few months ago it was 'truck drivers' & 'care-workers' we were
    suddenly short of, there being a near crisis in filling these gaps enough
    to ensure food deliveries and home-care throughout the uk... they were
    even taking about bringing in the army!

    but now, these very same shortages are gonna occur in just about EVERY
    working sector across the land as more & more peeps become infected!?

    i.e., not only will there be a shortage of food delivery drivers to supermarkets but also no shop staff to serve anyone, even if they do get through!?

    and ditto this in just about every 'other' working sector in the land due
    to peeps being forced into similar self-isolation as the infection spreads!

    iow: 2 weeks or so from now the uk might very well look like a wasteland! everything closed down due, not to another imposed lockdown, but to staff shortages!

    bungling boris gots one thing right though... that he'd "rather have
    bodies piled high in the streets than another lockdown"?

    you should have been more careful what you wished for boris as this could
    very easily now come true, if not from deaths directly due to covid, as
    you once imagined, but from the sheer lack of available services in every sector in the land due to extreme staff shortages!

    (this could actually get pretty serious! there'll be riots if there's no
    food for example)

    that while the army might do the food deliveries, will they also then be
    the servers in the supermarkets as well?? plus what happens if/when the
    army gets infected too??

    so it looks like there's gonna be problems! and not only here in the uk
    either!

    gee thanks boris! and merry fuckin' xmas!

    (he made a nation-wide tv address yesterday lookin' like shit (lol) to
    tell us all this :)))

    but to staff shortages!

    ### - so here we go, it's starting already...

    e.g.,

    several major football fixtures (the uk's national game lol, so how inane
    is that) have all just been canceled due to omicron infection now suddenly affecting some 45 players, it's been reported today...

    wont 'personally' miss the football (coz imho it's totally dumb anyway
    heh) but this is how things are now likely to increasingly go in just
    about every sector of society across the land; in this instance with not
    enough players to make full teams so it's canceled...

    next week what: increasingly massive staff shortages 'everywhere' as this
    shit spreads and people are forced into isolation, omicron being so very infectious indeed that if even just ONE member of staff somewhere gets it
    in say a restaurant, or shop, everyone else there in-contact with them is
    also likely to go down with it too at the same time including their
    customers!

    only a complete lockdown can possibly halt this shit now huh, it's the
    ONLY thing that's been PROVEN to work! and they ain't gonna do it until
    it's too late?? (and it's already too late!)

    shields-up then, coz here it comes...

    You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal, dull affairs
    Center of a crowd, talking much too loud, running up and down the stairs
    Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years
    And though you've tried you just can't hide your eyes are edged with tears
    You better stop, look around
    Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
    Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

    When you were a child you were treated kind
    But you were never brought up right
    You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night
    Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax
    And your father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax
    You better stop, look around
    Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
    Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

    Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane
    Well nothing I do don't seem to work
    It only seems to make matters worse, oh please

    You were still in school when you had that fool who really messed your mind
    And after that you turned your back on treating people kind
    On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange your mind
    But after a while I realized you were disarranging mine
    You better stop, look around
    Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
    Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

    Lol. Couldn't resist, could you. The jab/response one has when one
    doesn't want to signal that he is responding.

    I'm far more astute than you matey, can see you coming a mile/km away
