Can't believe this meningitis outbreak going on. Started in some crappy club a couple towns over from my school which we used to go to on results day and now a baby from my hometown is the first case in London.

Broke out the old face mask for the first time in a while for the tube this morning. Haven't even googled whether it would help for meningitis but I want everyone to know I don't want them anywhere near me.

Yeah it's insane. Also makes me realise how absolutely fucked our health policy is - we got a couple of people at our work place in their early 20s who didn't have the vaccination offered to them for free during Sixth Form/College/before Uni like we did, so about 5 or 6 of our team are totally unvaccinated in a weird 5 year gap where they stopped and started offering it for free. Very normal country.

Back once more. Had a job interview for a paralegal position in NYC. The PI stuff is my passion, but I need a proper salary and those sweet, sweet insurance benefits.

Went out for St. Paddy's Day against my better judgement. Found an old t-shirt at the bottom of my drawers that has the famous picture of the IRA volunteer wearing a balaclava and holding up his M16 on it, with the words "MARGARET THATCHER CAN EAT MY ASS" emblazoned on it. Probably not the most couth t-shirt I own, but it was a big hit at the pub regardless.

@Dirty Duck A significant portion of the almost-failed state I live in no longer believe in vaccination and so there is a measles outbreak slowly building in a few of the southern states and a slightly less worrying smallpox outbreak alongside it. Joke country. What's even the point anymore.

While working in blood bank, I have had people ask if blood they get can come from donors that didn't have vaccines. Namely Covid but still.
