   ### - 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 :)))
