I suppose that's one way to get people used to perpetual semi-isolation from the world. Will they be serving bugs to these pod-dwellers?

God, I wish you were joking. There is something fucking serious going on here (in bongland) and I'm only now starting to piece it together. Really not sure what we are dealing with here.
I just got back from the doctor's surgery. It was like something out of the fucking andromeda strain. Everyone in masks. Gowned up with boots. Lines on the floor you can't cross. Pods you had to go in to strip naked to be sterilised by having the first layer of your skin burned off. I lied about the last one. But don't knock it!
An old lady just looked at me waiting outside in the light rain, and laughed at it all and said 'What a palaver eh?'. She knew.
A new thing has come in to effect here where they have basically shut down all the GP surgeries I know of and you can not get even a phone appointment with a doctor anymore - you have to fill out an online questionaire. I tried filling it out. Took me about an hour then I gave up. Several times it said: YOU ARE GOING TO FUCKING DIE - CALL AN AMBULANCE NOW - YOU HAVE CANCER - YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK - YOU ARE HAVING A STROKE - YOU ARE GOING TO FUCKING DIE - CALL AN AMBULANCE NOW.
It was quite distressing really. Then I just said to myself 'LOL calm down'.
I called the surgery back and she asked me a few questions and I got to speak to a doctor an hour later. My symptoms were pretty serious, but I've been living with them for years. At least it got me a call back with a doctor. My father is very ill and he can't get an appointment anymore either. Everything now is a questionaire that you are forced to fill out. This is a new thing that has coincided with the corona. I don't think it's a coinky dinky.
One thing. The surgery was fucking empty. No one dropping dead of the wu flu. It was a fucking farce. I wanted to ask what the stats were locally for the corona but you were ushered in and out and chaperoned to fuck. Not allowed to speak to a receptionist.
I got to see the doc. Without pl'ing because it's not my blog and no one fucking cares, I did tell him I've been having some pretty serious mood swings with suicidal ideation. I kind of live with depression so I know what I'm dealing with, but these recent events have even worried me a bit. Ok, nuff of that. Anyway, he just took a blood test and gave me the bum's rush. I was worried he might even section me, but he didn't give a fuck. I was seething when I walked out from there. Still am.
The funny thing is, when you call the surgery or 111 they tell you 'MOST PEOPLE WITH THE WU FLU ONLY GET IT MILD LOL CALM DOWN ONLY BOTHER US IF YOU CAN'T FUNCTION'. So why all the fuss. I also live in a part of bongland with the lowest rates in the country. It's practically unheard of here. So after they took my temperature and ushered me in to see a doc for 10 minutes and I explained to him that I couldn't function, he fucked me off.
This whole wu flu shit seems to be an excuse to carry out social compliance tests, but more than that I think it is being used to mask some pretty serious changes we are having here in the NHS. I don't know, we have an aging population, women aren't really popping out sprogs anymore (not sure of the demographics, might be wrong) and now we have automation taking over not just general industry but also the medical profession.
The questionaire was a joke. No AI, just a bit of machine learning and data gathering for later sorting. They fucking know it doesn't work. And now we have all our medical records being passed to fucking google without our consent (anon of course, but easily identifiable with the right 'switches').
I was on the wu flu like a mother fucker back in February of the year. I even stocked up for the year on food. I was genuinely worried, and even up to recently I've been of the belief that people have gone the other way, that they should take this more seriously because it is a problem, even if things didn't turn out as bad as we all thought they might.
But I can feel something in the air. I haven't seen a doctor in years. I used to be able to get an appointment the very next day about 5 years ago. Those days have gone. Next up a few years ago came telephone consultations. Now those have gone as well. Now it is only fill out a form. I guess you are fucked if you don't have the internet. Where the fuck are all the patients? Where the fuck are all the people dying from the plague? And why the fuck are they bringing in these utterly non-sensical fucking bullshit questionaires now, of all times. It stinks to high heaven. They even admit it's nothing to worry about. So fucking why?
I was genuinely shocked at the process that is needed now just to speak to a doctor. I was even more shocked that this new doctor I have just got was so callous in his indifference towards me. I can't pl anymore than I have, so I'll just leave that there.
When random old ladies are mocking the whole shenanigans and calling BS you know that it's not just you as well that sees through all this crap. My poor dad having to fill out an online questionaire that took him 2 fucking hours the other day, and he is in a very bad way. His history is well known. He's had 100's of K's spent on his various treatments. But that is all gone now.
It's a new day in bongland, and it's a new day for the NHS. And that stupid fucking rogue nurse with her fucking bullshit is some kind of shill plant to make anyone who questions the narrative look like a nutter. But things are changing on the ground. They care so much about something that they admit is nothing to worry about, but when people go in there with life-threatening conditions they can't fuck you off quick enough.
I'll be ok, but this shit is going to seriously impact those with both acute and chronic health conditions.
Isn't it funny they had that internet questionaire all rolled out for prime time at the exact time that the wu flu hit. Anyone who works on large IT projects will know what I'm talking about. That shit takes years to come to fruition before it goes live. It's one hell of a coinky dinky and no one is questioning it because they are too fucking dumb and too filled full of doom to even think straight.
How long did that IT project take? Mmmm.... Longer than six months, longer than a year, longer than two fucking years at least.
It's all so fucking coincidental and convenient.
No one in the surgery, no one waiting outside (people were not allowed in the surgery) and only being given minutes when you have a fucking life-threatening condition.
Some kind of shit is going on. It's going to be forced vaccs next I can just smell it.
Sorry for the rant, I'm slowly calming down. I'm self medicating with a few fucking beers which is the very thing I didn't want to have to do, but...
I'd be interested to know if other bongers have come across this online IT questionaire bullshit. Maybe it's been going for a while I don't know. Happy to be corrected, happy to hear other opinions.
TL;DR:
LOL Calm down - YOU ARE GOING TO FUCKING DIE - CALL AN AMBULANCE NOW!!!

In Norway they're now going full lockdown again because about 10 people are dying each month from the coof and we've got about 100 new cases each day. Just 20 people on average in intensive care though. We're going full quarantine mode for what just seems completely normal. Like are we now not expecting old people to die from diseases?
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I've not had to deal with it yet, but you're right that it took a long time coming. It's part of the NHS reforms they've been pushing through over the last few years, the ones that are supposedly "privatising" the NHS.
The NHS has been commanded to reduce costs.
The most sensible way to do that would be to get rid of a few layers of bureaucracy, fire a few thousand middle managers, maybe streamline processes so that hospitals are more responsive to local needs. The least sensible way to do that would be to replace patient-facing roles with automated systems that require more bureaucracy, to collate and administer all of the new data that comes from these highly invasive automated systems.
Naturally, the second option was chosen. The managerial class can only ever act in ways that expand their power and control.
There's also some problem with the contracts GPs have negotiated - they get paid by the number of registered patients at their practice, so they've been stuffing more onto their rolls, but at the same time they've been reducing visitation times, and avoiding consultation altogether when they can. It's turned into a graft.
And don't get me started on the bloody dentists. Mine is refusing to see anything other than emergency patients right now. I'll have to go private if this carries on. Hell, it might even be cheaper...

Had to go to A&E for a scare a while back and it was less retarded but I don't know if it would have been the same if I went to a normal doctor's and this is in Scotland.
Fuck. I WISH they'd privatize the NHS because then we could all go to real hospitals. Funnily enough, "equalizing healthcare" now means you need to pay for two insurance plans to survive.
People get confused when I tell them that in most civilized countries you can literally walk in and they'll see you ...but, oh no! You gotta pay a measly £50! What then?!?!?!
I'd pay double that if it meant all the
unemployed
hypochondriac cunts would fuck off forever and stop grabbing all the slots at 8AM on the dot when that day's allotment opens.

Joke’s on them, very little chance of a “second wave” down here since we don’t have to huddle inside breathing each other’s air in the winter any more than the summer, so there‘s nothing in the weather to escalate it. We barely have a flu season where I am.
Less than 800 new cases today. Only five new deaths.

Georgia said screw it a while ago, and it seems like the media went radio silent about them after a week or so of nonstop bitching. Wonder if the same will happen in FL? I'm assuming if there were piles of rotting corpses littering Georgia streets I'd have heard by now, at any rate.

Unfortunately, Kemp buckled when it came to part of his response. Originally, he said localities couldn't place tighter restrictions than the state. ie: Local govt couldn't mandate masks since the state didn't. He backed off on that and there are cities and counties that have passed local ordinances that require masks indoors, etc.
Other than that, things have been fine across the state.

I'm just a little man. Nobody cares about me. Why should they? I'm ok with that. I'm not sure what the fuck is going on wtih GP's right now but it's a cluster fuck and it's coming to everyone. This is serious. I tried to change to a different surgery but they are all merging. Just like the dentists. Talking of which...
I got assaulted by a fucking gupta indian prick who rattled his tools around in my mouth like it was going out of fashion. The fucking paki was sweating like a pig.
Funny thing is, I had an Indian dentist the week before who was from Germany and he was fucking superb. Brilliant guy. Great dentist and also very friendly. I spoke the few words of German I know and he was made up.
Then this fucking sweaty paki took over and fuck me, I won't even.
I've got a badly chipped tooth at the back. It's ready to go fucking haywire. No one should have to suffer this in a supposedly civilised country.
Fuck the NHS. Fuck them all. It's not working for so many people and those people don't have a voice. I guess I'm lucky I can sperg here about petty shit that no one will listen to and no one cares about.
I'll probably go private as well. Simply have no other choice.
Take the piss out of British people all you like with their bad teeth, but there just aren't any fucking dentists anywhere on this island unless you can pay six months salary to get your tombestones fixed up.
Fuck this fucking gay earth. I got stomach problems from my teeth problems. I got other problems from that. Teeth shit is not just cosmetic, it's about basic core hygiene.
I got accused by one dentist of being drunk when I went for a filling. Do you know why? She smelled alcohol on my breath. Yeah, I'd just used fucking mouthwash you stupid paki bitch. She reported me to my doctor for being drunk. She still 'operated' on me though. I tried to force the issue and find out if it was common practice for them to carry out operations on people who were intoxicated, but they shut me down. Oy vey. It was like anuddah shoah!

Is it really that shocking that a country founded on the ideals of personal liberty is full of people that will tell you to fuck off when you try to get them to give up practically everything in their lives that gives them joy? I'm reminded of the footage of the Los Angeles skies on the Fourth of July, ablaze with thousands of fireworks after Garcetti banned them, a giant flaming "fuck you" to the nanny state.
These lockdowns and restrictions were accepted when we didn't know how serious the virus would be, but now that we do know, people are getting fed up. Some are still living in a bubble of Wu Flu doomerism, but most people are looking around, seeing that the world isn't ending, and realizing that there's no point to staying isolated. Of course, the trouble with giving up your freedoms is that it's a hard fight to get them back again. I'd tell the blue staters good luck, but honestly, they're getting what they voted for.

There's another scare story out about a healthcare worker who spent two months in ICU in an induced coma. He's described as "fit and healthy" before he got sick, but later in the article they say he lost 3.5st. (22kg/50lbs) while in there. So he was overweight if not obese which is the biggest risk factor after old age. I know people in the west have a warped idea of what a healthy weight is but it's so dishonest to act like it's not a preexisting condition.

Not that I disagree in principle, but 180 can be a perfectly healthy weight and going down to 130 would be on the lower end of believable for a 6 ft man.

Michigan, USA
Here in Michigan, there is a petition to repeal a law that Governor Whitmer claims gives her unlimited emergency authority. Said petition needs ~340,000 signatures to be presented to the legislature, and so far over 500,000 have been gathered. At this juncture, Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) has launched a criminal investigation into Unlock Michigan, the main group behind gathering signatures, based on complaints and a video that appears to endorse fraudulent tactics.
"A video taken by a representative of Keep Michigan Safe, who opposes the emergency power repeal efforts, showed a third-party trainer instructing Unlock Michigan volunteers to “use deceptive and potentially illegal tactics,"...
Erik Tisinger, an employee of California-based In the Field, Inc., also is allegedly shown in the video suggesting volunteers trespass on private property, leave petitions in someone else’s possession to collect signatures and offer misleading testimony in court, according to the Free Press."
Dana Nessel also "said her office received multiple complaints that signatures were obtained via false pretenses, including volunteers telling signers they were supporting petitions for LGBTQ rights, medical marijuana allowances or small business initiatives."
"Fred Wsolek, a spokesperson for Unlock Michigan, said Tisinger will not be paid based on the content of the video."
...
"He also wrote about “liberal operatives” that “infiltrated” the training to give the improper training intentionally to sabotage the petition."

In theory yeah, I'm basing the claim that he was overweight on current photos where he's not skinny at all but still supposedly 22kg lighter than before, and I'd be shocked if he was anywhere near 6'.

Fair enough. He's looking good now. Maybe the coma was good for him.
