If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
I'd have called it the "extreamly deadly mutant double virus of death" just to ramp up the scaremongering.

Patients do get sent to private. Although to what extent I don't know. General medicine is not my thing. The trust's then pick up the fee, not the patient. Obviously patients have the option to go private of they choose to and have the money.
I think private has its place, and if you can afford it and want your treatment quicker then more power to you. I chose to go private for a scan on my arm after my vaccine. The wait was over 12 months at the time for NHS.
Staff don't generally want to work private though. Yes, base pay is more. But benifts like sick pay, holidays, unsocial enhancements are not anywhere near as good.
I do agree we are heading to a hybrid system. And to be honest I am not sure that is a bad thing. The NHS is not a going concern. It is a mess, and needs help. There is only so much !oney you can throw at it, before you have to say enough is enough and have to reform. That doesn't mean I am in favour of a private service. Just the need for reform and if that means certain procedures stop being offered through the NHS and moved to private, then so be it. I am looking at things like IVF ( which I benifited from), boob jobs etc
The thing with the time off for the virus, is that it isn’t recorded as “ sick “, so gives the usual suspects a licence to manipulate the system to their hearts content,

You are correct, the website says from when you get the text, I rang the help line and they confirmed that it is indeed from the day of their PCR.. they need to get the message straight via all communications.
Yep.
I remember when all this started. It was sommat silly likes if you have a symptom, you have to take 2 weeks off. Bang, the con artists all suddenly had 2 weeks off. Like the first day it came into being. Oh coughed, fantastic, 2 weeks to chill.
Somemused to joke, if you have not been taking regular 2 week breaksz your not doing it right. It was a joke.
Now its, Oh I failed a lateral I need to go for a PCR, but it's late so will go in the morning, oh test result not back yet. Nice 3-4 days off. Even had staff say they can't get to a test site so need the in the post test. That effectively gives somebody an extra week off, just for saying I failed a lateral.
It's an easy way to blag time off for those that want to abuse the system.
One of the anomalies I noticed mate is you have to self isolate for five days and show 3 negative antigen tests two days apart, which is six days (depending when you take your test) agreed the communication around this needs to be better.
The usual suspects at my work place have all indulged in this apparent free time off. It was to be expected really.
I reckon I must have only pulled a couple of fake sickies in my life. Even then I couldn’t properly enjoy myself as I felt pretty guilty. Not particularly bothered about the company but knowing that colleagues would have to pick up your slack is the worst part.

Djokovic's AO saga is really funny at this point. IMO he would already be in Melbourne now practising like Murray/Nadal if he was fully vaccinated. He's eithier trying to get an exemption or he's in the process of getting the vaccine (last minute J J one?) - my guess is he's trying to persuade certain people (Tiley and his connections) to allow him to participate under some bogus exemption.

I filled out the online form yesterday it was linked in the text.. they are going to send me antigen tests in the post, it will be Wednesday earliest before they arrive that's my final day of restricting my movements, no option for me to say don't send them I have a few at home I'll use them, which I've done anyway.
The idea of 3 tests is take one on day 1 another on day 3 and the last on day 5 then you are good to go if they are negative.. pointless if they arrive after you are supposed to be using them.
What price a groin/back Injury ruling him out, if he doesn't get an exemption?
No matter though, he will get the grand slam record. Can't see Paris or Wimbledon turning around and saying you can't come here if your not jabbed.

RG recently announced that no player will be allowed if not jabbed.
Think he can only play Wimbledon and USO this year.
This is the worst part of it.
She`s the boss, yet she`s either off sick / on leave / taking carers days / covid days, so her role has to be covered by other members of staff - my missus, on top of her own work load.
Last year, with leave and all her other dodges and scams, she was off for roughly 55% of the year and gets paid over 50k year !!!!!
HR have had a go, but they won`t go near her now, as she`s a single mum, with a daughter who is on the lower scale of the spectrum and she immediately goes on the offensive and threatens lawyers and suing the trust.
As @Bruce Wayne said a while ago, you quite literally have to kill someone to get sacked in the NHS.
A quick move to the workers blaming each other for absentees now in here, bet you lot can't wait for the next series of benefit street.
At least it gives a break to dedicated researchers, virologists and epidemiologists being in the crosshairs 'for loving the attention'

Quick update … still testing negative on LFT after 6 or 7 days being poorly now ?? I’ve booked myself a PCR test now anyway
