SectionDJambo Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 12 minutes ago, Governor Tarkin said: My wee sis works in a privete Edinburgh care home. A fair portion of the staff are off in isolation, and another chunk have bailed on the grounds of self preservation (who can blame them). The ones that are left are pulling up to 14 hour shifts 7 days a week to cover the shortfall. As far as PPE goes they have a wee pinnie and masks they are having to re-use as there's **** all else. She says when they come to pick up the bodies (3 dead so far) they arrive like that scene in the movie where they came to get E.T. She is a single parent with a 3 year old boy and is ****ing terrified. After the utter arsehole of a lassie she was as a teenager I couldn't be more proud. These people are absolute ****ing Jedi and are continuing to be let down. The NHS people and other care workers have my never ending admiration. People in other work would refuse to do a job, that could cause personal harm, without ppe. These great people just get on with it and hope they are lucky. It’s not fair or right. Hopefully, a complete rethink of how these people get paid and looked after at work, will be a positive outcome of this virus. They deserve far more than they get now.

A point of clarification (because I made thre same mistake a couple of days ago) That's 14 from across the whole TfL network; a pretty massive employer. Not just bus drivers but those on the tubes, trains, station staff and more. Not saying that's ok but it's not as alarming as when I thought it was just bus drivers. 52 minutes ago, vegas-voss said: It's baffling how can you get a 10k pay rise for staying in your house I don't think it's a pay rise - it better not be.

Victorian Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I really didn't think it would be possible to see the official response to PPE shortages evolving into an implied accusation that some PPE is being wasted. But there we have it. You know what, there probably is a small amount of PPE being used where it isn't absolutely needed. But it's hardly the point in any way, shape or form. There are still disgusting shortages of it for the majority who do need it. This recent re-drawing of the PPE 'rulebook' is scandalous. A rancid insult to all the frontline people who have died and all those to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac_fae_Gillie Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 3 hours ago, Jambo Jim said: So the Chinese example of disinfecting streets and total lockdown had failed to register in Downing Street. You and I are suppose to take advice from this lot. Christ all mighty, sorry but we are on target to have the second highest death rate in the world. Why. A bunch of wankers in charge. Total lockdown is of course a great option, not sure the disinfecting streets is worthwhile, seen them driving 5 trucks abreast down highways just seems a waste of manpower, time and resources. China had the forces to do a lockdown it was only in parts of the country so easy for them to throw things at. Bricking up people in buildings, dragging away anyone with symptoms by force even though many just had a cold. But my post has nothing to do with the overall handling of this event it was a reply to Boris shaking hands before the lockdown was in effect. Our total is going to be bad but so is France, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy and Spain which in effect is all the countries of Western Europe outside of Portugal. Only when you hit Germany the economic power house of the EU does it get good or the eastern nations that have way less tourists or students coming in from China or Singapore.

It depends on what you're using the data to do. If its just counting the dead then its not important as the number is the number. If it's to set your lockdown strategy and ultimately exit strategy then I'd suggest you've got a huge problem, particularly in the absence of any kind meaningful testing.

neilnunb Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 From Beeb: Throughout the pandemic, Sweden's response to the coronavirus has been an odd one out. Unlike most of Europe, it did not introduce a lockdown - cafes and restaurants remain open, and schools have not closed. Although the government advised against non-essential travel, it has largely been business as usual, albeit a bit quieter. Now Prime Minister Stefan Löfven has has admitted that Sweden was not properly prepared for the pandemic and that it is "obvious that country has not done enough". Restaurants not observing social distancing should be shut, he told Swedish broadcaster SVT. In Sweden, 870 people have died from the virus - many more than neighbours Denmark (247) and Norway (113), where lockdowns were introduced in early March.

Bollocks!!! this virsus kills anyone doesn't matter how fit you are, 11 year old boy today died in England ****ing brutal man I'm in tears, such a cruel way to go out his family can't even properly get to give him a funeral. When is reality going to sink in to these Incompetent fools, this ain't going away. Until like people have said we have a vaccine, simple as the world that we live in today isn't the world we know. Call me crazy all you want i don't care what people think about me, they say that 80% of people recover from this just having mild symptoms, I truly believe i had the mild symptoms, touch wood. What stats do they have to prove that as fact none? But ministers are aiming to lift the more drastic lockdown measures in weeks, including the potential of opening up schools in June, and shops. Other non-essential services to be phased back in could include restaurants and pubs, although they may have to limit their numbers. Your having a ****ing laugh man haha, that will result in nothing but genocide, will any of the ministers and government put themselves forward to be at risk. Look at China they have just opened back up only to lockdown again, what failures. Tak yer fit aff ma neck, Bongo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongo 1874 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 China will take a hit in this, hence why they are trying to get back to normal.

ri Alban Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) People who are ill and don't have Coronavirus need to get their arses to the hospital and the doctors. Folk falling ill and not wanting to bother the NHS is costing them their lives. Edited April 11, 2020 by ri Alban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal times I would head along to the western get it checked but not going to bother. Think it is just jarred but it is quite swollen. Can't blame folk not wanting to add to the already struggling NHS. If folk are genuinely really ill though you are correct the need to go to their doctors.

The non Corona deaths for the same time last year are too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially those with underlying health conditions. It's a shambles.
