I was surprised to find that the Racial Slur database didn’t include the phrase.

Indeed - some people only hear, what they want to hear.
Effective communication has occurred when the listener/reader correctly understands the idea/information, that the speaker/writer intended to convey.

For instance, no one ever listens to me about vaccines. I suppose, that I have heard immunity.
I can't stand those jerks, who knock on my door, and tell me they're my saviour, and if I don't listen I'll burn. Damn Firemen.

Ibid, and I got that. I too was attempting humour, no worries my friend.

The important news is that we agree on how to spell "humour", lol... and thank you for your courageous and valuable work at the NHS (which I wish was running things in the US). Bravo!

Interesting evolution of policy.

"Now, with the Omicron variant fueling a dramatic new surge, they write, the United States must avoid becoming stuck in 'a perpetual state of emergency.'"

Will we be calling Omicron the "Disneyland Flu"? I might be serious...

Campbell et al are discussing a new and important peer reviewed study that may well prove to be an explanation of Omicron and just why it may be our savior...
