I’m 8 days away from flying to Vancouver to see our only child who we’ve not seen for nearly three years.

You're getting big bucks, stop ****ing moaning. 

 

You have no idea what I do or don't get paid, not that it relevant to public health. I simply made observations from last weeks trip with work where attitudes to wearing masks, social distancing etc are a stark contrast to up here and may well be the reason for the introduction of the Plan B restrictions referred to in the post I was replying to.

Quote: I was in London last week with work and tbh they have to do something down there, it's a riot in comparison to here! 

 

Your reason for coming to that conclusion. There was a sign saying no masks in a night club and someone at work ripped the piss out you for wearing a mask in the office. 

 

Any other toddler tantrum points you want me to address.

Our local GP practice has been pretty good during pandemic, which has been great considering I have two young children. Phone appointment in the first instance and then either a video or in person appointment as a follow up as required. It feels like it’s actually been easier to speak to a GP than previously (albeit over the phone)

Going by my experiences of the GP service since the pandemic started they (the GPs) have been a disgrace. 

If its OK for prsctice nurses and support staff to see patients face to face why are GPs still hiding behind their computer screens ?

Those were simply examples of the overriding attitudes on display, the fact that a nightclub see's a no mask policy as a fun way to encourage people in is fairly indicative of a lax attitude towards adherence to simple public health guidance. Likewise the people in the office that objected to having to come into the office for fear of catching covid before xmas yet found it funny that I'd wear a mask when moving around.

 

In 4 days the only places I seen taking any form of precautions were the airport and in taxi's/ubers. Pubs, restaurants, supermarkets and hotels? nope, nothing at all

If you don't NEED to see a GP face to face and can discuss over the phone (thereby minimising risks to GPs and avoiding the need for a trip to the GP surgery) what is your problem ?

It is a bit funny tbf, it's not the rules here or the culture here. You're more than entitled to do it and it's wrong people said anything though.

The only place listed that you should have expected to see precautions that you didn't were the supermarkets in fairness.

I live in ENgland.  went to the gym yesterday and was asked to wear a mask while moving around. I don't have a problem but pointed out I was in the previous week when I saw a school teacher with around 15 lads there - not one wearing a mask.  Receptionist says "it's mandatory as of today", I point to the signs that have been up for weeks saying "please wear a mask". 

 

Anyways, as I'm leaving there's two teenage school girls  standing talking to the same receptionist so I waited until they left and asked her about the "mandatory" maslkpolicy. She tells me they don't enforce it on children , so I pointed out these teenagers come to the gym from the nearby school in very large groups and are all potentials carriers. She just shrugs her shoulders. 

 

Yeah, but, "mandatory".

Poorly enforced aside, it did only become mandatory yesterday.

As I said in MY experience and I did need to see a GP. 

It was a recurring problem that had previously needed hospital treatment and still has not been attended to. 

Even phoning the surgery the phone just rings and rings and when they do answer they stick you on hold thus costing phone charges. 

Maybe I'm just unlucky because I just moved to this area six months ago and my previous surgery insisted I have to move doctors because of the rules. 

There have been thousands of complaints locally about this practice and even the local MSP has become involved and seems to be getting excuse after excuse.

If what I’m reading is true about more restrictions from Sturgeon then imo she is over reacting against the evidence coming out of South Africa. 
 

These 7pm appearances to boost your profile are catch on quicker than the Omricon variant.

People MUST wear masks at tynecastle when moving about the stadium - as per Scott Wilson’s requests too over the tannoy 

 

they will be the selfish twits who will no doubt be the first to moan when restrictions are put on numbers again

Looks like the buzz for today's announcement from Nicola/Nippy/Crankie/Elsie/Kim Jon Sturgeon is no extension to VPs but there will be a limit on number of households mixing in each others homes and some increased guidance on re-introducing social distancing - all to be guidance only not law.

 

So should help create a fun atmosphere on here this afternoon - better than yesterday's noncegate controversy anyway..........

Dunno.  Might be a technical difference.  Jabs are intramuscular but this appears to be merely subcutaneous.  Insulin maybe needs to be intramuscular or intraveinous?

Exactly.

Otherwise we will be in a permanent cycle of new variants.

Not going to happen though.

There was world wide agreement to supply free or cost covered vaccines.
