Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[zzr45]

Dear me!

You made a song and dance about unqualified doctors.

I pointed out that, strictly speaking, we have unqualified doctors being rushed into service from medical schools in this country.

Or is it that you only have a problem with unqualified doctors/nurses from other countries.

I hope this helps as I'm not sure I can put this in more simplistic terms.

I CAN USE BIG LETTERS IF THAT WOULD MAKE THINGS EASIER.

WE DONT HAVE UNQUALIFIED DOCTORS WORKING AS DOCTORS IN THIS COUNTRY.


‘Although the new graduates will not be able to perform the clinical duties of a doctor, they will be able to help in hospitals treating coronavirus patients.

They cannot undertake a doctor’s duties until they are registered by the General Medical Council.’

Therefore, your point that we have unqualified ‘Doctors’ working in this country is incorrect. Nice try to work in a racism angle there, but when the original article was posted about the GMC not allowing foreign nationals to be registered as Doctors without completing the full process, it’s a fairly salient point.

Read this earlier, odd really. This after they were 'ptrolling non essential aisles in shops'. What a bizarre force Cambridgeshire is.

they could really do with hiring a pr consultant

Please read my post again!

I said "rushed into service".

It is you who put forward the idea of unqualified doctors working as doctors.

KEEP UP!

Please stop, this is utterly painful. You tried to use medical students being encouraged to fill auxiliary roles as proof as unqualified doctors working as Doctors. This is not the case.

737 UK hospital related deaths today.

Takes it to over 10k deaths.

Tragic.

Silver lining is that it’s dropping, although it might just be the weekend effect.

With the big supermarkets being closed today, the queue addicts have found their ways to my local small shops. What a total bunch of lemons.

The scenes on these wards just sound horrific.
3 or 4 deaths a shift !
FFS it must be like a war zone.

Which side, Hackney or Tower Hamlets?

Used to work in Hackney and that bit of London is (or at least was) the most mixed up living space I’ve ever seen - mad estates about two minutes walk from some of the nicest houses and most pleasant streets in London.

Tower Hamlets mate, really near to Bethnal Green tube, the Childhood museum and York Hall.

The estate was called Hollybush Gardens.

Loads of trendy bars and restaurants under the railway arches and run down council estates just behind. A mix of Bangladeshi community and young professionals (seemed to be a fair few Bangladeshi landlords who had bought their council flats and rented them out for loads of money).

One of my flatmates bought a flat with her brother on the Hackney side of Victoria Park for 750K, in a gorgeous street.

East London in particular is really mixed up in terms of high living standards, expensive lifestyles and poverty sitting cheek by jowl.

I think it's more than likely because it's the weekend, we've seen the a same thing every week for it to then jump up on Monday, with it being bank holiday then expect Tuesday's or Wednesdays figures to be high again unfortunately

Obviously theyre already high but you know what I mean

Herd immunity innit!

However, my money is on managing the symptoms, viruses are sneaky changing blighters.

I recall a virologist on BBC radio saying that if the virus mutates it is likely to become less lethal as a survival mechanism or something.
