Feest Isolation Days – 6 October
Trump is still in the hospital although like a spoiled kid with nothing to do, he has tweeted eighteen times in an hour. He placed Secret Service lives at risk.
“Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential ‘drive-by’ just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. They might get sick. They may die. For political theatre. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theatre. This is insanity,” Dr. James Phillips tweeted. He is a non- military emergency room doctor at Walter Reed Hospital and an Associate Professor at Georgetown University. He says medically the President would have been advised not to leave the hospital, and that there would have been pressure placed on the medics to allow his drive by photo op to go ahead. No one it seems can control this man. Let’s hope that the American people can when they go to the polls in less than a month.
Here, 16,000 Covid Test and Trace cases went missing and did not show up in the data, nor were they passed to contact tracers.
Having wildly unqualified people like Dido Harding in charge of such a complex project was always going to be a recipe for errors. These individuals who tested positive will not have had their contacts identified which means that all their contacts may have become infectious and unknowingly spread the virus.
In other fowl news, Turkeys are being downsized for Christmas! With the rule of six firmly in place – for now – and who knows if that too might shrink – farmers have a tough choice to make. Do they cull their turkeys sooner or put them on a diet?
The big fat turkey will not be required as the numbers gathering to eat Christmas dinner are no more than six. Whatever they decide, we won’t be having turkey. I will miss the fresh caught snapper we have often had on Christmas day in New Zealand. What will be on our table here? We shall see.
Are parrots fowl? Well not that sort of fowl but apparently there are some parrots who have become very foul! A Lincolnshire zoo removed five parrots from public display when they started shouting obscenities at zoo goers. The five African grey parrots were donated to the zoo all in the same week, so were quarantined together. In the time they spent in quarantine, the birds taught each other how to shout profanities. We know exactly how they felt!
No profanity just inanity from The Dead Parrot sketch here.
Enjoy!
With love
