Though topical thought, the Uk NHS site is text and blue hyperlinks. Its still collapsing tonight because the prime minister just announced booster jabs available for everyone. (Guess what I'm spending my evening doing). So you can't always win.

It'd be interesting to know what you actually are doing!
Thoughts and Prayers, etc

Oh, actually, just browsing to kill time while watching the open browser window at the side refresh on the NHS booking site hoping it will work long enough to give me a booster jab appointment. It alternates between "you are in a queue ten minutes to go" and "our site is overloaded please try later" for about two hours now. Everyone else between the ages of 18-50 in the UK is basically doing the same thing, hammering the site. Its not quite as life and death exciting as I make it sound....

> Over 110,000 people booked their COVID-19 booster vaccine before 9am this morning.
I don't know if this is a huge amount of traffic, or just an unexpectedly large bump.
Good luck getting a booking!
