Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Part of the role our staff has involves talking on the phone.

We have been assured that there won't be any issue with doing that.

"gdlkwtht."

It’s terrible. We have a former neighbor with early onset dementia, Parkinson’s. Once the restrictions lifted, we had him over for dinner—heartbreaking to see how much he had declined due, in part, to the isolation

The scumbag BBC doing the murderer's bidding for them: testing is an absolute disaster zone, so the BBC dutiufully running reports advising people not to go for a test "because it might be just a common cold".

No wonder people are bewildered in the Banana Republic.

Watch how quickly the pay for tests companies spring up, all started by The Butcher and his friends.

NHS Staff in hospitals are advising patients not to use the testing facility unless they have specific COVID symptoms, which is also what the BBC are advising.

Fever, persistent new cough, or loss of sense of smell/taste.

It’ll just mean going out locally a bit earlier, that’s it really.

It’ll kill Town dead though , which would seem to be the general idea.

Cash from chaos.

Which NHS staff? Is this one of your anecdotal pieces of 'evidence'?

And in any case, how on earth would people KNOW they didn't have the Covid symptoms? There are a lot of cross over symptoms: chestiness, fever etec.

Why did you not use your own mask for the 5 months and use your own common sense? It wasn't fine for 5 months, they just told you that and you seem to have believed them. I don't know if you have noticed this, but the government etc. change their advice on prevention requirements depending on what they want people to do at any point in time. Even when it's the complete opposite to what they have said up to that point. Early on it was herd immunity, no need to change anything, go to Cheltenham, let fans from Madrid come to Liverpool and ignore the evidence from other countries about how serious this virus was. That then switched 180 degrees once it became obvious even to them that this approach would lead to a massive death toll and so we were sent into lock down. Keep at home, don't mingle socially, forget what we said yesterday.

At that point they were petrified that the NHS would crumble and needed to ensure they had adequate PPE so they told everyone masks were not needed, didn't do anything etc. because they didn't want Joe Public buying up supplies the NHS might need. In the past couple of months or so they have wanted to get people out into shops, pubs etc. and spending money so masks are suddenly a prime requirement because they now limit spread of the virus after all. Again, forget what we said yesterday. It is now a similar situation with people going into work. Up to this point they say you need to wear a mask to go in a shop for 10 minutes but not to sit in the same room as a group of other people for 8 hours straight. Now that cases are increasing again they will say masks should be worn at work because that is where they want people to be and are afraid the plebs might engage their brains and work out that their advice does not add up. As I said, use your own common sense. Wear a mask whenever you are around non-family group members indoors anywhere, on public transport etc. Socially distance as much as possible. Don't go anywhere you don't need to. Most importantly, never, never, never believe that this government has your health or best interests in mind when they give out advice.

I manage in a hospital.

If my staff didn't need to wear masks when literally THOUSANDS of people were dying every single week, some of which in the same building as where they worked.

Then ordering them to wear masks 5 months later is far too late for preventative measures in the workplace. When these staff have worked together for 5 months in a room, day after day , making sure they follow rules and clean desks with their own bought products.

I have literally dragged desks apart in the room to distance people. We have done a damn good job of keeping everyone safe and healthy during work hours.

So why now do they need to wear a mask in an office where the only contact they have is with each other, when any visitors on rare occasions have to wear masks to enter from other areas. Why are they all a danger to each other working in a hospital that only 5 months ago were fine without any of these measures ?

I have no issue with wearing a mask on command but I have a big issue with wearing one long after the importance of it has gone.

I have to now implement these guidelines knowing full well next to nobody in the room is happy about and they all say the same thing as I have here.

So a danger to themselves when cases spike but no issue at all when hundreds are dying in their place of work.

Plenty have had it with no symptoms. Its all so confusing, unless you can just hunker down and ignore the world.

Theylve been telling since this began and testing was 'ramped up' that we should get tested if we think we have Covid19...now it's a big u-turn because the daft gets haven't got a test and trace regime in place nor adequate capacity for demand for tests.

They are taking the piss.

Get it down again in time for Christmas seems to be the idea.

My partner who is a nurse specialist and has been treating actual Covid patients. Unlike you.

You stated the BBC are instructing people not to get a test in case they have a cold, which is patently untrue. They are advising people to get a test if they have any of the three main symptoms, just as NHS staff are.
