I don't think I read anyone question her about this. There is a big difference between saying "we hope vaccine passports will reduce the risk of a winter surge" and "if we don't have them, x would have to close" - you could quite easily pick apart the former as well, but it would be an open goal to get her on record stating the latter IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why that link posted by Welshbairn asks for name/postcode/dob to identify an individual, rather than CHI. Different parts of the NHS might have different CHI numbers referring to the same individual so you might find the CHI your dentist has is different from one on your vaccine record. It probably is the same, especially if you haven't moved recently, but there's no guarantee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 This is nuts. Certainly no issue with my own dentist. Bit of a waiting time but routine check ups are still every 6 months Yes as with GPs it's just a lottery. Some willing to crack on with life, others still hiding in caves in full PPE with a laptop and phone.Sent from my SM-A750FN using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Linda Bauld on BBC news defending the app rollout and saying it was 'overwhelmed' by the sheer uptake of people downloading it early - then going on to state that 70,000 people felt the need to get it upon release and downloaded it at once. Seventy thousand. The tone she took was of almost incredulity that as many as 70,000 needed to download this straight away...did they honestly think different? I mean you'd have surely been prepped for closer to 700,000. The scary thing is, she actually believes that is a mitigating factor and not a complete embarrassment. 70,000 in the grand scheme of things is f**k all, about 1.5% of the population. Is the app being hosted on fucking Geocities? Why would an NHS app for an entire country of 5.5m people crash under the weight of 70,000 downloads? One of the two main drivers for the existence of this app, so we are told, are for football and rugby crowds of 50, 60, 70k people so is this an admission that the app won't be able to handle the traffic that could theoretically be needed during large scale events? She's gone on BBC to try and defend all of this and in doing so, made the whole thing look even more tinpot than it has been. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 As the Spouse of a Hygienist Dentists are now working as "normally" as they can. The problem in NHS still is waiting lists due to the long time not seeing patients, but more significantly Fallow time following an AGP procedure will never be lower than 10 minutes. In some practices still waiting on proper ventilation that time is much higher. This means less appointments in a day. The days of a scale and polish from a Dental Hygienist on the NHS are likely to be long gone in most places due to the financial return for the time allowed. Basic teeth cleaning services you really need to go private (On a plan) or invest in a decent sonic toothbrush. You would be amazed at how much better an £80 toothbrush is over a £2 one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 When I opened the APP for the 19th time this morning it had actually gone back to a sensible point. It reacted differently while going through the validation. It moved between the pages better. Good God what do you know I only had to press that final green button once and it responded. I am now recognised and in business..It seems to be fine once you get registered and validated - it's getting through that that was the issue yesterday.Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Somebody said it wasn't the app itself that was the problem, it was the NHS Scotland database getting too many requests. That might explain why they coped with far more traffic when they rolled it out in Denmark, up to a million on the first day apparently, though that might have just been site visits rather than app downloads and registrations. Quote "The launch created a major pressure on the portal and app – more than one million citizens visited sundhed.dk on the opening day. This is 600% more traffic than before COVID-19. Luckily, Sundhed.dk passed the test without any major problems." — Claus Duedal Pedersen, director of the sentinel unit, sundhed.dk https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/emea/denmark-launches-covid-19-passport-coronapas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 They did not report till late last night. Home Nations Daily Cases per 100K update : UK Average 356.5 to 358.3 up 0.50%, England 333.9 to 337.7 up 1.14%, Wales 653.7 to 643.7 down 1.53%, Northern Ireland 405.9 to 404.0 down 0.47% Scotland 372.0 to 361.8 down 2.75% Looks like only England still not peaked in wave 4 Deaths: England 80, Scotland 34, NI 8, Wales 5 I think (Hope) these show we are now at our peak of Deaths. Circa 21 days after peak infections. As 34 out of 127 is far too high a proportion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 All other respiratory viruses will have a considerable backlash, including influenza which kills hundreds in the UK every day at its peak in a bad winter. Well, that's fine to continue spreading in nightclubs and at the fitba, the Public Health Legends don't give a toss about that. Instead, let's make sure the Rona is catered for! Can't have people catching that can we (they most certainly will)! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
