TBF it is Norfolk, we could just quarantine the county and I doubt many people would notice/mind... 😉

I really hope that turns out to be a false alarm.
I still see the impacts of the last outbreak 20 years on in folks involved in livestock farming.

On the plus side it'll make all that Brexit export paperwork a doddle for the next few years.

Meanwhile,

I have a low fold-out bed which I think has rodents living in it. I think it might be Futon Mouse Disease.

Monkeypox is currently doubling every eight days if anyone is interested. UK is leading the charge, but plenty of other countries are following at the same rate. Unlike COVID, we already have a vaccine and we have treatments that might effective. Not that the treatments have been tested, they were approved under the "animal rule" against smallpox.

I wondered if the polio identification was a result of increased waste water monitoring thanks to COVID. Beckton is the largest treatment works in Europe.

Can't eat bats, can't have sex with monkeys and now you can't kiss sheep.

If the waste water at Beckton was being 'monitored', does that mean the infection is floating down the Thames towards Canvey and Sarrfend?

We wouldn't have Glentress if it wasn't for the Foot n Mouth outbreak (or the other 7 stanes).

We probably need one of STW legal eagles to confirm it tbh :-).

I don’t think legally your supposed to thou, I vaguely remember a prosecution over it but I’m not Googling it it today.

Morally and ethically I’d say no, but it could be a Tory thing so there may be a legal loop hole.

According to the radio, the Polio "outbreak" is most likely the testing picking up the old style oral vaccination from someone not from the UK and there are currently no known cases?

That was yesterday or this morning, im sure its at apocalyptic levels by now.

The built trails at Glentress existed before the foot & mouth of 2001. Albeit not as developed as they are now.

Whilst being a firm atheist I am starting to think it would be nice for god to just tell us why she is annoyed rather than sending the plagues and expecting us to guess.

If you were in a relationship with a "she" you would know that's not how the female psyche works 🤣

The problem with the potential polio outbreak is lower than needed vaccination levels which is the result of lower take up amongst ethnic minority communities and middle class idiots who thought these disease had been consigned to history and have a non specific fear of vaccines because they don't understand them and have read some alternative life style rubbish blaming "chemicals" for all of life's woes.

It's true though isn't it, without chemicals there would be nothing to complain about.

If a ewe turns, is it a lesbian?
