Left Back Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Just now, Caledonian1 said: the government acted as if it could have happened Really? the government take actions based on things that could happen? The Russians could invade Ukraine tomorrow. We could get dragged into a European war. Are we gearing up our armed forces and getting into a state of readiness for it? I think not. Why is that? Because it's not likely to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 There was a 1/3rd of a Tsunami based on the highest 7 day average. That I understand means it should have been renamed a Tidal Wave. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should the government have the ability to turn “protections” on and off at the drop of a hat ad infinitum based on things that ‘could happen’? That’s not what I think their job is, tbh. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the Benjamin Button syndrome. I had hoped that the minimal support provided by the state might see me out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 You shouldn't know tbh. If you are well enough to go to work you shouldn't be wasting time and money on a test.This. You don't test to see if you have any other Coronavirus so why test for this one of you don't have symptoms. More lives will be saved by getting back to normal and detecting cancer at stage 1 and not stage 4 for example. The only health emergency we have now is one of our own making. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effeffsee_the2nd Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 More infections = more close contacts right? Who is calling for an end to isolation for vaccinated people that's the alternative right? I think there will be a panic if essential staff are still working whilst Covid positive, but tbh I don't see anything wrong with it. If they are well why have them off?My workplace has been properly found out for just how much it relied on people coming in unless they were too ill to physically make it, now that the decision is out of their hands and sick people have to stay off regardless A few years ago I felt like death whilst at work with shifts on Christmas and new year included, if I’d sickied , someone who’s turn it was to have them off that year would have to have covered me. It honestly wouldn’t have been worth it to phone in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 If I was as bad at my job as Sturgeon and her advisors, I'd be sacked, how can they keep making predictions based on absolute guesswork then just brass neck it when the complete opposite of their prediction becomes reality. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
