Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[CharliePotato]

If all the vulnerable have been vaccinated then why the need to vaccinate the kids?

Had to take the wife to the hospital tonight due to a suspected miscarriage. Second one in Covid times.

Wasn't allowed in with her. So utterly frustrating and cruel.

How is the world supposed to move on?

So sorry to hear mate, where’s the humility in that. Ridiculous and beyond cruel.

Unbelievable BS.. in emergency settings when overwhelmed the most critical is the last to be treated, who's most likley to be saved is how the priority list is devised.

Can second this.

Same story in mass casualty responses they use a tag system, judging on who is likeliest to survive.

So sorry, condolences to you both

Thanks for your kind words.
I'm just utterly exasperated at not being able to be there for her in hour of need at the hospital.

Yes it's really frustrating. Thank u.

If you refuse a vaccine you should be moved down the priority list for any medical care if you get sick from covid. You are making a decision fair enough.. the consequences of your decision are yours to shoulder and shouldn't have a negative impact on others.

Could use the same logic for someone who drinks alcohol and seriously injures them self, or speeding drivers.

Not sure how I feel about vaccinating older kids. Don't think I know enough to have a real opinion on it

By his logic anybody who drinks alcohol at all should be moved down the priority list because it’s a choice to put poison with a whole host of negative health effects into your body. (I drink)

But that’s not how the NHS works.

When do we think the first 'circuit-breaker' will be? 100,000 daily cases?

No, they will just stop releasing the figures

 

[navidson]

No, they will just stop releasing the figures

Yeah - That's a real effective way of dealing with it

 

[arminisgod]

Didn't say it was, but this bizarre obsession people have with sending people back into a lockdown is ridiculous.

COVID19 will become another version of the common cold, joining Coronavirus, Rhinovirus etc. We are far past the aim of eradicating it

Some sections of the press are already almost falling over themselves with their "new " lockdown predictions.

Unless the hospitals hit crisis point again, it won`t happen, as after 18 mths there`s no political or public appetite for it - apart from the usual curtain twitchers.

Problem is the hospitals will be at crisis point in winter. They were struggling quite a few times in winters before covid even existed.

Will be interesting to see what happens.
