Trolley Trouble
My partner was telling me a recollection of an incident in a story: (Context they live in England) OK, so I was in store, they leave 2m gaps, this old ass boomer joins the queue, and I feel a nudge against my leg. It's her like, trolley type thing. She's like 1.5 feet away. I look to her, and back, queue moves, I try distance myself. I feel a nudge against my leg again. I turn around and she had taken off her mask. She's like 70. The queue moves again and a staff member comes up and tells her to put a mask on. I feel the trolley against my leg, and she seems pissed for having to wear a mask. I finally get out of the queue cause it's my turn and I hear her say like "finally you stopped wasting space" -

UK rollout of Covid vaccine could start before Christmas
As someone who is patiently waiting for this dismal lockdown to end so I can get on with my life this is good news. Hopefully, things will clear up so I can actually go and visit my fiance. I wonder who all will take the vaccine though, or if visitors will be forced to take it. -

Now I Know How My UK Fiancé Felt With Boris
I remember earlier in the pandemic Boris Johnson got sick. It was weird thinking the leader of England could get sick from such a deadly disease. How the country was panicking wondering what happens if the Prime Minister dies. I could only imagine how it must've been like. Now I actually get to experience it. Donald Trump is officially in the Hospital with covid, but it seems hes doing better then Boris did. -

1/3 of UK report enjoying lockdown, 40% report weight gain
UK social study reports that around one third of people in the country have reported enjoying lockdown. The same study reports that around 40% of adults have reported gaining weight over lockdown. These are some notable social side effects of lockdown. I found this report both amusing and informative, and a good item to include in the archive. With most peoples lives getting more sedentary during lockdown, weight gain is not surprising to see. Adding into this would be general increases in stress also contributing. What i found most interesting is the 1/3 of people enjoying lockdown. Seeing that made me wonder what behaviors and patterns will persist even past covid, such as things like working from home.
