Maybe incentivise it so it becomes an attractive proposition?
Why would anybody want to work in public services these days? Police, Ambulance, Fire - all get treated like dirt by the general public

Haha. Just a prediction on the case numbers. It will be higher anyway because its Tuesday.
Yeah I would have thought so. That's how a player clears themselves to come back and play in the NFL. 2 negative tests 24 hours apart. Not that I'm saying we should follow it just cause the NFL does it, but I know that's the system they use for vaccinated players.
I'm not being funny mate but all the money in the world wouldn't want to make me work in a hospital in a pandemic.
Plus, you have to go to nursing school etc, it's not like it's a short-term thing.
In fairness yes, but the pay for frontline needs to go up a lot and the pay for public sector bosses needs to be reduced.
There are some good reasons to work in public services, as well as the cons. The pension terms tend to be better than you get private sector. Holiday entitlement tends to be better etc. But we won't fill frontline positions until the pay is better. Public services in this country need reformed because they are top heavy and we need more frontline and less management. But I don't see the political will to do it.
yeah it is mate you're bang on, that if they're vaccinated they get to do that and they've pretty much kept a lid on cases throughout (when you compare that to the PL, for example), though obviously teams have had outbreaks - think the Browns had one last week.
There has to be something done, so actually looking at methods that can work within certain settings for certain people would be a good start. Even if, at first, that is for fully vaccinated healthcare workers. Immediate PCR, if positive, isolate only until you test negative twice in a 24-hour gap.
I bet you'd cut most isolation periods right down from 10 days to 5-7, and that could make a lot of difference.
But this is the point. If ‘normal’ is 90-95% capacity, it really doesn’t take much to overwhelm the NHS and that’s when it all gets a bit dangerous for people.
The issue is that we don’t have enough capacity in the first place. And nothing has been done about it.

labour shortages due to brexit wouldn't have helped

Thanks for that advice mate!
Ive just done what you said and Google, the government and the news tell me we have a wonderful vaccine but they also tell me that we have almost 100,000 cases per day and are on the verge of a national lockdown?
So is this because of the new variant, the unvaccinated, or a combination of both?
When I go to an indoor event where there’s a large crowd yes I do. The majority of people at that event don’t though. Who is more likely to carry covid in that scenario?
Lateral flow test kits are free to pick up on the way out of my local Tesco as well.
Makes more sense knowing test kits are free. You can get tested for free here in the USA but you have to go to the pharmacy. But test kits to bring home are about $30 a pop. (At least where I live)
There won’t be, as they need to recall Parliament to pass it.
That requires 48 hrs notice, as they’re on the Christmas break.
