It's also on your appointment letter/will be mentioned in your appointment phone call. When my wife got hers we f***** off to the dump to get rid of rubbish, and then waited the other 10 minutes in the laybye outside, if needs be we would have been back at the surgery in 2 minutes. When myself and our daughter got ours we waited in the car in the practice car park. People are totally wrapped in cotton wool nowadays and need to be led by the hand like toddlers. Considering its the elderly and most vulnerable getting done first I think it's completely right to set out exactly what is going to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is seasonality to it but the likes of the UK and Sweden are still firmly in Winter. Bog-standard flu epidemics peak long before mid-February most if not all of the time. The seasonality comes from the start of the colder season leading people to spend more time indoors and makes them more susceptible to illness. By February enough acquired immunity is kicking in so that the epidemic burns out. If we were relying on warm, dry weather alone then the Scottish flu season would be all fucking year round. It is still a seasonal epidemic though. Edited February 20, 2021 by vikingTON 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between ignoring and actively rubishing something. Anyway, I thought the UK had plenty vaccine? Maybe the EU could use Sputnik V.

The report shows what would happen if a more transmissive new variant took hold - one expert is scaremongering about it on that basis, but the article says that various provinces are still planning to open up. At least we agree the graph is absolute nonsense which would simply never happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wot? They fired someone for refusing to manipulate the data to back up the governor's plan to open up last year. She ultimately set up her own dashboard that's considered a mile more trustworthy than the state's. They are in the process of using heavy handed tactics to suppress her. They have regularly refused to release data eg for schools when it looks like it will cast unfavourable light on their policies. I clearly said that there are better states to use, meaning their data is a million miles more trustworthy and their current restrictions are similar to those in Florida ie similar conclusions can be drawn. BTW if you think lockdowns don't work, why have you spent the last couple of months on here agreeing we should wait for certain data points to be reached before opening up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I see there’s talk of furlough being extended. My view will probably go down like a lead balloon, but I don’t see why high earning folk could potentially be getting 80% of £2500 a month for over a year just to sit and stuff their face watching Netflix all day. Obviously it’s not their fault that they can’t work but should they not be put onto Universal Credit until all this blows over and they can get back to work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 If furlough is being extended it’ll be to cover specific industries like travel and hospitality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
