Here are some pics I took in late 2020/2021 during my daytime wanderings around Golders Green, Finchley and the Dollis Green Walk. I went back to Golders Green in September '22 and the 'Distancing Men' were barely shadows of their former selves.

And all this from a sigil to avoid having to go into the office. Careful what you wish for!

Yeah, there were loads of those wake-up-sheeple flyers and stuff around our way. Think they're all been peeled off now or just washed off by rain.

One thing I still see hanging around is the permanent lockdown and the comprehensive Chinese-style social credit system that our vaccine passports evolved into. If only we'd listened to the warnings!

Don't forget being shot on sight if you're outside without a mask, too.

You see, you'd never believe this because you've clearly been hiding under the bed for the last few years but we actually had social credit and lockdown during Covid and I dare say we would still have both if the virus hadn't petered out as predicted by Farr's Law right at the start.

I have just been on the tube
There are still plenty of one way system stickers, looking g a bit scuffed up now
But not much sign that anyone is still following the scheme - there must be other non-physical hangovers though
Still a few masked up folk,

Did it peter out because of Farr's Law (whatever the hell that is, can't be bothered to google it), or because of the effectiveness of vaccines and various precautions taken?

If it was because of vax/precautions it would still be motoring in places with low uptake and/or 'poor' precautions, but it's not.

Farr's Law is a very old epidemiological rule that applies to pandemics in general, stating that pandemics last two years with two big waves. Oxford CEBM reminded us about it at the start of the pandemic but everyone decided that it didn't reply to Covid for reasons unknown.

So do pandemics tend to last two years with two big waves on their own, or because of vaccines and precautions taken?

I must have missed the memo on social credit. There was furlough, if that's what you mean, which prevented widespread destitution - probably a good thing, if you think widespread destitution is bad?

But come on, you lot were telling anyone who'd listen that this was going to be "the new normal" forever and ever.

It was a total coincidence that the rate of new cases fell of a cliff when the first lockdown was brought in, and then again a year later when the vaccine was rolled out, of course.
