The Lost Daughter

Available on Netflix.

Don’t Look Up

Adam McKay’s latest film is about two scientists who are sent on a tour to tell the world about an impending asteroid that looks like it will obliterate the planet. Expect McKay’s trademark humour. Available on Netflix.

    I’m currently in Shanghai. Schools are closed and online learning begins tomorrow. Hearing rumours that sitting in in restaurants is being suspended. There’s a minimal upsurge in apartment buildings being closed and residents being quarantined. All issues are protective. All in all, it’s grand.

    Well let’s just hope this isn’t a strong variant & if it dies steady that we have learned and will protect the old and the vulnerable. If you feel any symptoms take a test and if you have covid you isolate.
    With so many vaccinated it will bearly even affect people that much hopefully.
    So yea hopefully we’ve learned over the last 2 years, no need for restrictions, lockdowns, masks!!!!
    Think peoples appetite for all that again won’t be great!

    I’m hoping our own current surge, is just the side effect of the lastest lifting of restrictions, and not the new varient that I’ve been reading abiut the last couple of days. (Funny how the Journal has not reported on it when Cork Beo was reporting on what Luke O’Neill said about it yesterday) Regardless, If people can maybe keep their wits about them, keeping in mind the likes of hand hygeine and watch what direction they are coughing in when the could not be arsed covering they’re mouths, or maybe voluntarily put on the mask, we can nip this surge in the bud. None of us want to go back where we were the last couple years.
