My daughter being fast tracked into nursing as she on her final year. Should I be talking her out if it?

No.

I fully understand as a parent your concerns, but it's her choice to be a nurse so to try and stop her would be detrimental regardless of the circumstances.

That's before talking about the need for staff in the NHS, which has to be a priority.

have any blues on here contracted covid-19? how did it go?

Good question that mate it would be good to hear of anyone getting over it and sharing the experience. Unfortunately we do not hear too many stories of people with an all clear

We are so screwed

Surely this 'downtown' pic must be an old pic that someone posted messing about in reply to that tweet RAFUH?

....as many will know, my daughter is an NHS Consultant surgeon with a key specialism at this time. She’s an average size but has yet to be given a face mask that passes the fit test.

it’s the reality of what front-line staff are having to put up with.

 

[OGG]

My daughter is a doctor in A&E. She too doesn’t have a mask that fits.

Care England who represent care homes in the UK are saying deaths in care homes are estimated at 7,500 from the data they are receiving from homes.

No chance, the Tories, fudging figures, spreading disinformation to cover their own arses, they wouldn't do that would they?

It is very helpful indeed. The world knows where it came from, we just don’t as yet know how it was produced by them. Pretending otherwise is just burying your head in the sand. In a car crash, you look for the cause, not blame the police or ambulance or NHS afterwards.....you are wilfully ignoring the cause.....that is shameful tbh.....

Getting silly this now.

It's the way it's spread Peter and how deadly it's being that is raising eyebrows, SARS is 90% minimum a genetic brother to Covid-19, and SARS was bad, infected a few mainly Asian countries, but only killed under 800, only 8,000 infected.

Has it been genetically engineered to be more efficient at spreading and infecting?, that Wuhan Lab has been experimenting with Coronaviruses for 2 decades, 100% some of their work is related to developing bioweapons, it is China's leading Lab for technologies related to bioweapon production.

My opinion, from research I've done in to it, is something has been leaked out of that Lab accidentally.

Other reports say 6,000 - it's hard to tell isn't it.

On average, almost 2,000 people die in care homes in the UK each week.

We need to know if it's COVID to count these people who have sadly died.

China have only just released figures for people in Wuhan who died outside of a hospital - with the death toll going up in that city by 50% now.

But the vast majority of people we have dying from COVID are dying in hospital and that is where the quickest, most accurate data comes from.

If 12,000 have died in hospital, and 6,000 in care homes, I'm no mathematician but I'd say the vast majority are not dying in Hospital, around a third are dying in care homes and are not being included in the daily death totals the Govt is peddling, you can see why they'd like to omit them.

Just unacceptable, makes my blood boil these frontline workers being let down like this

 

[summerisle]

Yeah, because so far he's got such a great track record.

In NI we report the full death toll on a weekly basis and the hospital figures daily. It’s because of a time lag in terms of getting deaths data from care homes and residential settings.

12,000 of 18,000 = 66%

66% = the vast majority, so you're right, you're no mathematician.
