Nope, you're still 'confused'. NHS staff are not getting priority for testing and cannot attend work until they have tested negative after coming in to contact, vaccinated or not. So yes, yet again you were attacking NHS staff because you hadn't understood the issues. Its twats like you who make retention of staff so difficult. "Staff who are contacts of someone confirmed COVID-19 positive: • must stay at home and self-isolate if not fully vaccinated • if fully vaccinated (i.e. have received two vaccine doses and are 14 days post second vaccination) should arrange a PCR test and can return to work if it is confirmed negative (if positive, isolate for 10 days). If negative, should complete daily lateral flow tests before attending work each day for 10 days and should seek a repeat PCR in the event of any positive LFD test".https://www.england.nhs.uk/coronavirus/wp-content/uploads/sites/52/2021/12/C1500-letter-updated-uk-hsa-guidance-nhs-staff-student-volunteer-self-isolation-return-to-work-following-covid.pdf "The BMA says the way in which key workers are supposedly being given priority for lateral flow and PCR tests isn’t working as BMA members report inability to get test kits or get a PCR test. The Association says healthcare lateral flow and PCR testing should be prioritised for key workers to protect public services whilst the current issues with supplies remain." https://www.bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/priority-of-lateral-flow-tests-for-healthcare-staff-isn-t-working-says-bma-and-nhs-services-under-severe-threat-because-staff-cannot-access-testing https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-calls-for-nhs-staff-to-get-priority-access-to-coronavirus-tests-12506609

I always imagined angels pogo dance to God Save the Queen. I suppose there is chance I could be wrong.

Apparently the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact used to have a very coercive approach to vaccinations, taking control out of the hands of parents. The state wanted appear 'good' and 'successful' but instead their bad reputation rubbed off on the image of vaccinations. That's what I read anyhow.

If Weston breathes in he's pigshit thick. If he breathes out he's pigshit thick. Whaaaaat??? I said 'if'

In conclusion whether its 1 or 2 NHS staff are to blame. Same old same old then.

You can argue a constitutional monarchy is the least worst option. New Zealand basically decided to replace the monarch about 10 years ago with public support - but when the options were laid out there was insufficient support for the alternatives. Anyhow there is a reason most stable countries separate President / Monarch from PM

You've officially outed your alter egos as Turkish, Tamesaint and Whitely Grandad

You tell me. Why would you hold a woman responsible for events that she had absolutely no involvement in and happened two years before she was even appointed?
-
Incredible isnt it. Almost like someone is translating your coded comments

You think they shouldn't have been prosecuted and sacked?
-
Yeah but lets blame her anyway. She's a dyke she deserves it.

and the World Health Organisation. The Precautionary Principle approach to risk management has been around since the 1970s. The precautionary principle: plan for the worst, hope for the best: https://www.euro.who.int/en/health-topics/communicable-diseases/influenza/news/news/2011/11/who-response-to-concerns-in-serbia-over-its-actions-during-the-influenza-a-h1n1-2009-pandemic/the-precautionary-principle-plan-for-the-worst,-hope-for-the-best

The United Kingdom and the Death of Boris Johnson as we know it.

Sunak seems to be the publics preference but Truss is favoured by the Tory party members. If you want the Tories to win the next election Sunak is your man. If you want Labour to win it’s Truss all the way. She’d end up embarrassing herself just as badly as Johnson -

I’ve been to 5 Hertford Street. I knew it was a private member’s club and who it is owned by but honestly it’s not somewhere I’d choose to take anybody. Very pedestrian food and decor. The idea that lunch would be worth £3,000 of anybodys money let alone public officials is mad. Shows again the entitlement running through this government -
Both my daughter and me had that mid November to December. Lasted for weeks, sorry.

This. There has never been a reason for by you can’t have two different infections at once. It’s always happened. People should be able to differentiate between scientists sounding an alarm and routine papers picked up by clickbaity media outlets and sensationalised

I didn’t know you were an expert on omnicron mortality rates as well as catering size baked beans. Unusual skill set

They should introduce that everybody. 1. Had a shower this morning (with soap) 2. Arse no wider than 18 inches 3. Fresh socks

Maybe Bill Gates was controlling her directly?

Actually I was wrong too. Ive just looked again. We were both looking at UK data. If you narrow down to England only Sky are right - both admisssions and total number of patient in hospital are highest since March
-
I think Sky have conflated two separate stats. Yesterday was the highest number of new covid patients admitted to hospital since March. Both Sunday and Monday showed a big increase. Whether that is the beginning of a new sh*tshow or a statistical blip, who knows. The total number of covid patients in hospital however is not (yet) the highest since March.

There has been a problem recruiting and retaining GPs for years. The basic reason is that in the UK its a relentless, miserable, factory type job where you are just processing dozens of people a day. Counter productive health policy decisions, primarily under Hunt just made the problem worse. GP salaries increased by c22% as a knee jerk reaction to throw money at a complex problem when what they should have done is use that money to recruit more staff to relieve pressure on the existing staff who were leaving in droves. All paying them more did was enable more to work part time instead of full time. Three links below. Basically timeline is shortage of GPs, pay them a lot more, loads go part time, claw back money from other areas, number of GPs declines further, introduce 7 day opening, number of GPS declines some more. Its never been a pay issue. GPs are generally paid well - c£100k. Its always been about quality of care, over work and lack resourcing. Hunt's 'New Deal' in 2015 promised 5,000 more GPs and support staff, instead the numbers have declined by 7% on the already crisis levels in 2015 whilst the number of elderly people (far and away most intense users of services) has increased by 1 million . https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-24362902 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-33191120 https://www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/embed?contenttype=charts&id=1205
