and so the invisible war rages still, look you see, against this new plague. one cannot escape the sense that everyone but those infected with any version of this "covid" or "coronavirus" have gotten all frightfully bored of it now, and no one else is fighting any more. yet, somehow, i kind of am.
my verk, along with other types, involves being in situations where one might unavoidably come in to contact with people what have got "it". no, my work is not, alas, as a male stripper, but yes i do apply for similar positions as and when they become available. so, in order to check that we have not been infected or are going around infecting others, i, we, are "encouraged" to do these lateral flow tests twice a week, at the very least.
the reason, or impetus, for writing of this is that i had to order another set of these kits what have the lateral flow test in them. it was so that when it landed, or arrived, i observed that it is yet another different type, with different fancy packaging and made off of different people.
which is a bit of a shame, as the much loved (ahem) government here is considering bringing an end to dishing out these free lateral flow tests. apparently they have noticed that it costs quite a lot to get them and send them to people, go figure. there is also a school of thought that many, many people here have been jabbed, as they say, twice over with this vaccination, and surely the idea of that is to mend it all so we no longer need live in fear of it. but when i say "free", actually we are all f*****g paying for them via f*****g taxes, especially me with the f*****g stupid high tax they put on f*****g fags.
for my side, or for me, i am frankly not that @rsed. happy to do the tests if that gives them stats and info, and of course i would prefer to know if i gone done got plague. but do i like shoving these swabs down my throat and / or up my nose twice a week? not in particular.
of course, or also, there's questions about if these tests are any good at all. from what i gather, they are to be treated as entirely reliable and correct if they give you a positive test, but if they say you do not have plague they are not to be trusted alone. can't really win, then. so far all of my tests have come up as failed to get plague. long may it stay so.
right, if these tests do continue to be a thing, and they come up with yet another manufacturer with yet another design change, then of course i will do what i can to showcase it here.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
