The Mayor has declared that the capital is now in the grip of a major incident due to the dramatic rise in Covid , well about time someone recognised it I suppose.

Does that mean more money from the government, as he's probably overspent on pulling down statues of important historical figures.

And no one has reasonably explained why all the Nightingale centres weren't/aren't being utilesed as dedicated TCV treatment centres... :-X

London has one of, if not the lowest vaccination rates in the country. :o
Of course no one wants to speculate why and which communities are not getting vaccinated! :-X

They dismantled most of them. ::)
The one in Exeter which was built in an old Homebase store has been repurposed as a diagnostic centre I think. Where you go for scans etc. :)
It looks a bit of a mess to be honest. What was the car park is full of stacked up porta cabins and containers, but I guess it's hell of a lot cheaper than building a new facility. I expect it's counted as one of Boris's 40 new hospitals. ;D

And of those critical in hospital 90% are unvaccinated. Could be one way to knock the population down by 5 million...
Incidentally, of the 200 a day being admitted in Lundun, 100 aren't in hospital because of TCV, but other unrelated issues and happen to test positive... :-X

I think they struggled to staff them and they were hardly used anyway. :-\
Loads of retired medics gave up trying to return because of all the hoops that the NHS were making them jump through. ::)

They were built, and that was declared a success by Boris. Industry made a load of ventilators and other stuff needed.
But there was nobody to work in them, so they were quietly closed.

And thats why you need to take sensible precautions - all of us - to reduce spreading. Because a significant proportion of people who have it, and are spreading it, don't know it.
Though, obviously its all a conspiracy, and doesn't exist.

Those that feign positive tests are doing their colleagues a dis service and only making the whole system worse... As those that actually want to be there will be more and more put upon until such time as they have had enough and find something else to do. Anyone found to be doing that deserves to be sacked for gross misconduct and lose their precious pension.
That's why so many leave. Which refuels the viscous circle and makes the service even less efficient and worse for the people that need to use it.

If I am completely honest, I don't think I'd have had the balls to walk into a ward full of covid patients, at a time when very little was known about it and people were dropping like flies.
-
I was talking to a couple of Ambulance training officers last week both with several years in the job both have taken early retirement because of Covid, the reason being they want to live & not catch the virus, it's as simple as that only a complete idiot would argue with that.

Fair enough especially if they are of an age which makes them vulnerable to Covid.
The other way of looking at it of course, is that they were happy sucking on the taxpayers tit for the nice salary, T&C's and pension when times were good, but jacked as soon as things got difficult and left their colleagues in the shit. :-X

That's fine and dandy, but those skiving off are the ones driving the decent staff away.
Covid is being used as an excuse to take the piss by alot of people, which makes it doubly hard for the decent people having to cover the shortfall.

Exactly the NHS workers are not superhuman they are not immune to the virus, they've seen firsthand what it can do so they decide to leave and find something better paid /safer good luck to them & if they unfortunately contract the virus they've no choice but to isolate etc
-
The same is happening in HMPS staff are not considered as important as prisoners and social distancing is not enforced, I know four colleagues who have left and are now train drivers better paid & safer than working in a crowded prison it's their choice it's as simple as that.
-
I'm sure we've all pulled a sicky at some stage in our career. Used to be common at our place in the early 90s, as despite having a reasonably generous leave allowance - a hangover from the civil service days - actually being allowed to take leave was impossible, as only about 5 people in our region (East Anglia, Bedford, Oxford, Reading etc) were allowed off on a given day, and simple maths meant that it was impossible for everyone in the region to take even the majority of their leave.
So, "vomiting and fatigue" was frequently written on my self sick notes... ...although my boss never really cottoned on that meant sick and tired.
-
And, from experience, you can enthuse and drive your staff at 100% for short periods - there needs to be a light at the end of a short tunnel to do so.
A good manager or team leader can drive 100% to about 80%, 100% of the time. After that, they are burnt out after a while. Usually spotted subtly by an increase in sick, or more obviously by underpants on head, Wibble etc.
The NHS are used to being at breaking point every winter, but get the breather they need in less busy months. The last 2 years, they have been beyond breaking point in the winter, and with further peaks throughout the year lessened only by full lockdowns. So its expected for many of them to be burned out, even if its their vocation. Those that aren't, are likely mentally weary as well.
Whilst I think the NHS is dreadfully inefficient, disorganised, irreparably broken and mostly useless, that's not to say that the low paid, front line staff are there to deal with those selfish individuals who are not prepared to take basic, simple steps to reduce the chances of them having to be admitted into hospitals with the chinky sniffle.
-
Don't think this the same as " pulling a sickie" people are revaluating their life choices why put your health at risk if you can change career or retire completely? They're looking after number 1 & certainly don't blame them .

I think some of the groans here were due to people happily taken the advice to self isolate and not attend work when they have been pinged or tested positive. Rather than those who have discovered that looking after the disbelievers for a pittance is no longer their future career.

Absolutely agree why work for a pittance if you're not appreciated and underpaid , and if it's true that the majority of idiots falling ill are the unvaccinated they made their choice as well.

This. The people having to pick up the slack, very quickly fall into the second part...
Rather than those who have discovered that looking after the disbelievers for a pittance is no longer their future career.
I suspect that this group is falling down from the lack of colleague and management support. I don't recall ever hearing about them crying at the futility of looking after drug addicts or alcoholics.
The job market in the US has been turned on its head by people quitting in response to compulsory vaccinations as a condition of employment. This is an issue here, but less so because although the vaccine is voluntary, most people have had it.
-
Are you saying, DG, that people who have been pinged or tested positive should ignore it, and carry on as normal, rather than get checked and isolate as appropriate :o.
As to the US, that's likely (according to my colonel colleagues), your average sherman gets all their knowledge from arsebook etc, and believe it as 100% fact, and they don't want behavioural changing nanobots running around inside them like a Michael Crichton novel....
-
And having spent nearly 10 years working for a major US computer firm in the not too distant past, I'm struggling to find fault in that viewpoint from some of my colleagues ;D

Not if it's legitimate, but the implication of Micks comment is that it is acceptable to use it as an excuse to take time off. Those that are likely to do that are the type that use any slight excuse not to do their job... Always start late/leave early /just popping out for a smoke etc... And if you call them out on it they automatically claim the victim position.
It always the people that turn up early/leave late/have their breaks on the fly that have to cover the bulk of the work and that's not reasonable. And that's before you consider the ridiculous shift patterns which aren't helped by the shirkers.
Working around sick people there's always the chance to catch any number of infections. That's an inherent part of the job in the same way that someone who drives for a living is more likely to be involved in a pile up than someone who doesn't drive, or a lifeguard having to get wet once in a while.
I think that in the US, from what I have heard from callers to the Ken Coleman show and individuals in the airline industry, people are choosing to change career/retire early rather than be forced to take the vaccine. This isn't because the vaccine is necessarily a bad thing but that they aren't being given a choice.
Care homes here lost alot of staff over compulsory vaccination as well. People accept the risks of their employment choices, but do so on their terms, not because they are forced to.

I never mentioned anything about taking dodgy sick leave, merely that NHS staff will undoubtedly catch the virus and test positive which in turn will lead to time off, the other was about two training officers opting for early retirement. Some people simply like to argue which I refuse to reply to.

Yes, like many jobs, there are dangers. When I was growing up, AIDS was the (initially) unknown scary killer to nurses etc.
But I think mountain rescue and RNLI/Coastguard staff have every right to be pissed with irresponsible actions, like climbing mountains utterly unprepared, or taking a small dingy out in windy weather, expecting others to risk their lives because of their arrogance.

Remember these TV and Radio shows get people in with controversial viewpoints, as it creates engagement (even if that is smashing up the radio because Jeremy Whine is on). So don't read too much into that.
As to choice, I want to shoot stupid people, but I don't get that choice. If I had a granny, and she was in a care home, I wouldn't want her looked after by somebody with a deadly, infectious disease like Ebola, or the chinky sniffle.
It may be a small errosion into civil liberties and rights. I get that. I don't want legal restrictions, and I certainly don't want the lockdown thats coming - the first was a novelty, but boring, and we know the economic and social costs...
...but because proportions of the British public are too oppsing stupid and selfish and self centred, we can't rely on them taking sensible precautions like masking up when appropriate (not the same as when legally required) or avoiding crowds or having to give up or postpone plans, we have to have legal restrictions.
I'm sure we've all seen incidents of people entering supermarkets, shouting and swearing at the poor staff asking them to obey the traffic light system and wearing a face covering. Or making a scene at the bar when asked to return to their seat back when it was table service only. And to be frank, the fact that the residential areas of London during lockdown being fully of large groups of people, because rules don't apply to them.
As I've said previously, I happily, voluntarily take said sensible precautions to protect myself but especially others I might pass it on to, to avoid full legal restrictions. But the british public is thick and 'me! me! me!'. So I have to settle for a short term/terms erosion of my liberties due to the self centred self-abusers who think the rules shouldn't apply to them.
