Title: Brilliant Covid system
Post by: Shackeng on 06 December 2020, 18:25:13
A neighbour due in for elective surgery had to first have a test. A few days later she was admitted and assumed the test was clear. A week after she left hospital, and 2 weeks after the test, she had a call from them. “We’re pleased to tell you that your test is negative.”
I feel so much more confident now.  :-X

Why wait until Christmas  ???

If it spikes more after a lock down than it would otherwise have, why bother locking down in the first case?

The last lockdown needed to be 2 or 3 weeks longer, though that would have been game over for many businesses that rely on the public to visit.

All the while celebs and wealthy are allowed to roam free, why should everyone else be forced to sit in their basements?

What’s good for the goose...

We are straying into criticising the NHS territory here. Careful or the thought Police will be round to reprogramme you into  worshipping the new National religion.

As with many services, there are some members of staff who are fantastic and do a brilliant job  :)
BUT , there are also staff who turn up, do as little as possible and clock out ASAP and collect the pay cheque

Your not wrong.  :y
A few years ago I was in a hospital waiting room while swmbo was having a day surgery procedure. A woman in a nursey type uniform kept walking past with a clipboard every few minutes.
I had time to kill so had a little walkabout and kept an eye on what she was up to. She was simply walking round the block a few times, then turning 180 degress and walking round the block again in the opposite direction. She did this for a couple of hours.
A Saint made human to be sure.  ::) ;D

I thought that was BLM?

I see that, not satisfied with putting a black lives matter (keyboard just tried to make that capital letters, eff off), they now have rainbow coloured microphones. Black and gay and the world is you lobster, Rodney.  ;D

It would be somewhat ironic if the vaccine actually gives you full blown Batflu...

Would be better if the powers that be just admitted that it's totally out of control & they haven't got a clue how to stem it, instead of issuing figures that are incorrect, I was speaking to my uncle in Australia today the area he is in have had no new cases for 36 days & a normal Xmas is looking very likely for them. My wife's cousin died last week from the virus he was only 61 but was a type  1 diabetic & had severe problems due to this.

From what I've read, Australia went in pretty quick and hard on lockdowns and other measures? Which also reminded me of this:

Victoria used it as an excuse to pass a whole raft of draconian police state laws and they've only just eased their lockdown, which was pretty much martial law with strict curfews. Whereas New South Wales were relatively normal. Australia closed its borders relatively early, beginning of Feb? Bros cruise got diverted to Perth and they only just got out before they closed the place...

Emirates, Qatar and Air China were all still flying in here a week before we got furloughed on March 23rd, yet the US flights stopped at the beginning of March.

Being an island should be our biggest defence.
