Mandatory vaccination against Covid

[Lizzie Zoom]

Looks like there have been massive protests in Paris today after comments by Macron that he intended to 'piss off' the unvaccinated and that the unvaccinated are not citizens of France. 

Well that is usual for the French to protest very noisily, and with physical presence.  They can make our Colston statue protests look like a Sunday afternoon tea party!

If you require a revolution, speak to the French.  I love them!   Viva la France 1789

Apparently Citigroup have told their employees that they will terminate their employment of they dont have the jab.
I would imagine they will be on thin ice from a legal standpoint if they do.

Pretty much all of the American tech giants are doing the same thing in their home country.  In their European subsidiaries, to be more compliant with local EU laws, they are wording it a bit different, along the lines of "you must not come into our buildings without being fully vaccinated", followed by a "you need to come in to the office by XYZ date, else your contract will be terminated".

It is utter insanity that the government is willing to sacrifice good people working in the NHS if they don't comply.

And how is that different to our "utter insanity" to sacrifice future good people coming easily into the UK from Europe to work in the NHS?

The number of people who are employed in the "desperately under staffed and under funded" NHS is around 1.85 million. Up from approx. 1.4 million 15 or so years ago.
I doubt we have a shortage of "good" people - current or future.

Ah well now you're moving on to the utter insanity of NHS recruitment policy, where they refuse to invest in training and encouraging our own youngsters, preferring to steal ready trained staff from overseas countries who do invest in their youngsters despite being poorer than the UK. 

There's no shortage of youngsters wanting to work in the NHS either.  Medicine degrees are usually well oversubscribed at the Universities that offer them, and thousands are locked out of nursing careers because having a degree in nursing has become a necessity.

Would it be inappropriate to suggest that those very educational establishments earn a significant amount of government subsidies from foreign medical students?

Well here i am , 3 jabs and just tested positive , funny thing is that I actually feel Ok , just a bit of a sniffle , BUT i work with people who have frail elderly parents , do I say sod them and carry on or be socially responsible ? 

[Doctor Gollum]

Having tested positive you are legally obliged to self isolated for 10 days.

There are exceptions to the ten days, but not the isolation.

Will you get paid?....

Many people are 'off well' rather than 'off sick' following a positive test.
