"We're just living our lives..."

Get on with your job seems to be the attitude to frontline staff now (as it has been from tory voters for 10 years now), with boredom and slight inconvenience the motivator behind such callousness. I absolutely shudder at the daily stress and trauma front line staff have been put under

Obvs I don't work general. But today every ward where I am, staffing is considered as dangerous. IE do sommat about it and quick. Only there is nobody to get in. Mass exodus of staff due to positive tests, in the last few days.
Dangerous essentially means, if things kick off, staff have to lock themselves away, as we wouldn't have the numbers needed to deal with it. We would be.putting ourselves in danger if we did anything different. That is a whole hospital with every ward in that situation.

The "love" we have for the NHS seems more akin to the love of an abusive partner.

Heartbreaking to hear and see what is going on in the NHS - they will break it so it can't be rebuilt very soon, and the health and social care bill with knock it over for good.

Over a decade of austerity by this wonderful government, implementing one of Maggie's favourite policies that those from Merseyside should all be familiar with - managed decline.

They should be ashamed of themselves, and every time bongo opens his gob extolling his love and support for the NHS, he should be challenged by the media around the globe.

The point Whitty and Vallance made which should have resonated very loud and clear yesterday is how cases and hospitalisations are moving up the age ranges. This could change the relationship we are currently seeing between cases and serious illness.
On the plus side some people get to live a life, arguably at the expense of others, the joy of individualism.

So does scrapping the confirmatory pcr test signal the beginning of the end for track and trace? Gonna be some serious back peddling from the government if things start going mental again (like last winter).

This is the government equivalent of throwing a stack of paper in the air and saying "don't care anymore do what you like"

No rule change for close contacts as Taoiseach warns of 'accelerating exponential growth'

Close contacts who have received a booster are required to self-isolate for five days.

Probably just to lockdown in that case. I'd imagine freeing up PCR capacity for those that really need it will outweigh any negatives.

If it doesn't go too badly it could be the start of slowing down asymptomatic testing completely

TBF track and trace as an organised, effective entity probably never existed.

Tories currently killing the NHS.

Shame on them.

Cross fingers this reduction continues and is quickly replicated across the UK

Interesting thread

Cynical part of me is wondering if the general apathy over it all is basically taking hold in those who care about others testing more while others aren't bothering as much. Going to stop short of the controversial statement but that may be linked to that chart...
