Golden Duck Posted January 15, 2021 #1902 Share Posted January 15, 2021 On 1/12/2021 at 7:09 PM, Space Commander Travis said: Mercifully there are still some people in the medical profession who are still concerned about truth. The State propaganda service tried this big of scaremongering: But someone in the medical profession who does still care about facts replied: And that, insofar as anyone cares about facts anymore, seems to be the facts generally. Of course there are more viruses in winter; viruses mutate. That's what they do. Any medical professional, as opposed to "advisor" or "Senior NHS Staff", by which they mean career bureaucrats with no medical qualifications at all, would know that. So stop it. Stop the propaganda. Why a screen shot? Give a direct link to the tweet, so we can see why a New York Columnist is an authoty on Public Health Operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewinn Posted January 16, 2021 #1903 Share Posted January 16, 2021 3.2million people have been vaccinated in the UK. more than any other European country. 45% of over 80's and 40% of care home residents vaccinated- by the end of February 100% of those in the age bracket who make up 80% of the deaths will have be vaccinated. that's some achievement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud the mackem Posted January 16, 2021 #1904 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The problem we have here is that people who have the virus ,but maybe showing no symptoms are happily going out to shops and supermarkets ,and passing on the virus ,that's why there is an upsurge in cases . If people followed the rules advised by the Gov't (which they aren't ) ,the cases would drop but people are ignoring the advice ,and therefor the cases will keep rising . I keep away from people in shops when I go out once a week for essentials , but when people brush past you from behind it really pi***s me off ,so I've started saying to them "keep your bloody distance" mate ,but they just look at you and walk away then brush past the next person ahead . Crazy . After 11 months self isolating I consider myself fortunate that I haven't got it - yet . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to scrap the whole thing. Scrapping the while thing costs millions, but how would spread the NHS money?

Eldorado Posted January 17, 2021 #1907 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Army medics to work in London hospitals overwhelmed with coronavirus Armed Forces medics will spend at least two months in hospitals across the South East to help ease the pressure on frontline staff struggling to cope with the rising number of coronavirus patients, The Telegraph can reveal. Full report via MSN: Link More than one in 10 hospital nurses are now off work in areas hard-hit by covid, according to internal data leaked to HSJ. Health Service Journal The RCN is seriously concerned about staff wellbeing and patient safety as intensive care units (ICU) across the UK experience extremely high levels of activity and operate considerably beyond their usual capacity. It is recognised that there are not enough critical care nurses and ICUs are having to respond by reducing the critical care nurse to patient ratio from 1:1 to meet demand.

Eldorado Posted January 20, 2021 #1919 Share Posted January 20, 2021 A Welsh politician has been suspended and three others are under investigation after they were spotted drinking on parliament premises, potentially breaching coronavirus guidelines. Former minister Alun Davies was seen drinking wine with Tory leader Paul Davies, chief whip Darren Millar and the party’s chief of staff Paul Smith in a Senedd tearoom on 8 December. The alcohol was consumed in the TÅ· Hywel building, attached to the Senedd complex, and the meeting went on until around midnight, according to reports in the Mirror. MSN Crime of the century!

bee Posted January 22, 2021 #1923 Share Posted January 22, 2021 all the death toll figure don't mean much unless there is a breakdown and more information... this time of year is a bad time of year for people dying if they are old or in poor health.. all the figures are got from people who have tested positive within the last 28 days ... and then died.... of something maybe of SARS-CoV-2 or maybe that was the straw that broke the camels back healthwise.... how many of the deaths were people in Care Homes - or were over 80 - or had underlying health issues... This is not to mention that the methods of testing are not reliable and can be manipulated - As pressure is being put on Johnson to ease off the Lockdowns by other Tories... the numbers go up... to make it more difficult for him to back down.... I say.... get the Nightingale Hospitals up and running - get the NHS fit for purpose - stop treating the general public like they are criminals and stupid - stop destroying the economy and taking away freedoms that only a year ago we took for granted... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
