The woman from the Hubands Energy said that to me on the phone this morning when she rang to reschedule a service call for our heat-pumps. The yearly technician inspection had to be cancelled because the technician had taken time off because of Covid sickness.
"They're dropping like flies" she said when we were trying to organise another time.
Well that's a worry.
The retaining wall work also had to be cancelled last week because a couple of the crew are off work with the Omicron variant.
Several of the school traffic patrol people I work with are off isolating because of positive tests.
Every day we hear of people we vaguely know being off work with the Omicron virus.
Things are getting serious and I hope that this doesn't become the 'new normal'.
I get annoyed at people saying that we are all going to get the virus so why bother wearing a mask and taking sensible precautions. This is giving up in my books. The Old Girl and I are sensible. We wear our masks when out. We use the scan-in App when shopping. We don't go to risky places and we are even considering having our weekly supermarket shopping done on-line and delivered.
We don't want to 'drop like a fly'.

Read the post, of course I will not judge.
No wonder so many Catholics got boiled alive or shot full of arrows.
Ah, those Catholics - they died like flies.*
* except the ones at Richard (of RBB)'s house that get rescued
No doubt those rescued flies tell all their mates and they come to your place as a kind of fly sanctuary.
Nice.
Yeah. There sure is a down side.
