superbigal Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Was out on my run today and spotted down on the estuary just outside Tayport a bloke fishing.Now he cant have been exercising. I was wondering if he was part of an essential workers group. Demand for flounders is clearly a problem for the main fleet at Peterhead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think quarantining all skiers would have been a good idea, but that was nothing to do with the coronavirus and would have added golfers to the list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience involved potential paralysis and they barely left my side all through my rehab. Likewise when my old man passed. I can’t really take issue with anything Boris said today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep those working in the NHS generally pick and choose who they give good care too. Deary me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I was asking a question and illustrated my reason for asking by referring to the UK. If you don't understand the question or don't know the answer, that's fine but no need to be arsey. I'll try again. Is that a figure for government spending on health or is it the figure for the amount of spending on health in each economy? That is, do those figures include spending by private individuals and companies on private health provision? I ask because private health spending is not a good comparator if you are looking at what the government is doing. It seems Germany is definitely doing something better and i would really be interested to know what and how. Those raw figures are not particularly illuminating without context. One thing Germany has done better is to elect a government led by a politician who tries to do the best for her nation, not one led by a racist who prostitutes himself on quiz shows to gain approval, and is wholly unsuited to the job in front of him. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can only hope that Boris, when trying to sort out the economic consequences of this pandemic, in the months and years that lie ahead, does not consider for 1 second making any cuts to the NHS. Surely he wouldn't do that, would he? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I’m sure the NHS staff who were looking after cuntface Johnson were totally dedicated and professional. That’s not to say that he didn’t get any extra attention. We will probably never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 F*** me, scoring points over Johnston's care now.It appears some folk don't grasp how ICU works, it's not like a normal ward where they check your SATS every few hours, you will have a nurse at your bedside constantly regardless of who you are or what condition put you there. My father in law had a couple of days in ICU in the golden jubilee after a heart op and the nurses were like part of the family by the time he left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMDP Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Lets not forget amongst that Johnson is still a massive c**t. Week 4 of lockdown here in Spain, looks like it will be until May 10th at the earliest. Good to see that it seems to be paying off here though, death and infection rate in a pattern of falling. Government here were far too late in locking down, however, have been very strict with it since employed. I basically get out once a week to the shops, have to carry identification and if the police stop me further from my apartment than the nearest supermarket (or I cant provide evidence I'm out doing a weekly shop), I get a massive fine. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
