Guilt Free Railing 8

Can’t believe it’s needed….

Normally from the 9th August (and unless kids are vaccinated before they return to school lockdown again from 1st September as before)

Sorry I'm being really cynical. Make the best of the good weather and being able to meet people outside.

I bet the 9% positive rate is because less people are testing because of the cold. Actually what does it matter was percentage of ill people have covid?
Surely all that matters is the covid rate per 1000 people?

[quote shouldistop]@Groovee he can do both maybe he's more ready than I thought.
Defo needs more practice with cutting up food, buttons etc. [/quote]
At an Education Scotland meeting recently, the officers said "it's not about a child being ready for P1. It's about P1 being ready for the child!"

Surely all that matters is the covid rate per 1000 people?

That doesn't matter either. The only thing that matters is the number of people becoming ill enough to need hospitalisation from covid.

This is a 3 minute update on the delta/Indian varient and the effect it's having: -

Exactly @ElephantOfRisk.

And I’d like to know what they’re doing to prepare NHS Scotland for potential problems should they arise.

They are there to protect us, not the other way round.

Absolutely @WouldBeGood
Part of living with Covid means expanding our health facilities to cope with this new illness as well as all the previous illnesses the nhs treated. That's going to mean a "grown up conversation" about how we fund this

@latissimusdorsi that’s funny, the very words I used to DP earlier 😃

Exactly. At the start, they had no idea what was going to happen, they expected hoarders of people needing hospital treatment, we were seeing terrifying images coming out of Italy so it was right to take drastic steps. That is not where we are any more.

Ha will believe it when I see it given we are 16 months in and only one long covid clinic in Scotland only for Edinburgh residents.

Yes, this is what I don't understand. Apart from right at the beginning when there was the huge rush to get the nightingale/ Louisa Jordan hospitals set up, and ramping up ventilator capacity, there doesn't really seem to have been all that much emphasis on increasing capacity. Surely when things calmed down a bit over last summer, and again from, say, March til may, that should have been key... sorting out staff retention, building new facilities, funding things like the clinics, sorting out the backlog that has built up and so on. And I know I may have missed a lot, and things may have been going on behind the scenes, but I really don't get the impression Scotland or the UK have done that. It seems so short sighted. I know the NHS is always suffering and underresourced, but now there's a bit of money sloshing about, you'd have thought that would be the first thing you'd do to build capacity into the autumn/ winter. But all I hear is about how they are losing staff left right and centre cos they're all knackered and burnt out.

.

Yes a massive recruitment campaign and refresher courses is needed to get trained nurses back into the NHS.

All the Scot Gov have done is the £500 bonus. No real forward planning. But then they aren't interested in building any infrastructure in Scotland all they want is to pull the UK apart.

Get the name in the history book, regardless of the surrounding shitshow as that will get lost in the mist of time. But not one will forget who destroyed the UK.

Railing against all these fucking “events” still being on fucking zoom 🙄

Ffs work are having an ice cream van coming to work to celebrate the end of term and I'm not there 😭😭

@Groovee aw gutted! Ds graduation party tomorrow, nursery have organised a bouncy castle, icecream van and pizzas. Ds is ridiculously excited Nursery will send us a nice video.

@shouldistop nursery parents have a terrible reputation for going on the rampage and hugging and licking everyone in sight
Can't be trusted to stand nicely outdoors 2m apart so you'll just have to stay away.
Now if only you were football fans....

Ha I know

Yep to the football fans and the fact that 2/3 of positive tests are men in recent days...... Don't worry though JL says its not connected to the football 🙄 because we all know that football has a magic forcefield that stops covid........

I just think it’s cos there have been far more tests today than usual

I'm actually glad about the football going ahead, Im just angry about the hypocrisy.

Me too @shouldistop

Yep me too!

Sorry, I haven't read the posts I've just come on here to scream so my poor daughter won't be subjected to swearing. We are currently in our second isolation period in six weeks as my daughter's nursery has a positive case. My daughter developed symptoms the day we were informed so I had her duly tested the next day. Not a pleasant procedure but to my surprise she tested negative. Informed nursery she has been ill as she is likely to still have a runny nose and cough next week, now nursery are saying she can't come back when isolation is over despite her negative results. I have also just read on the BBC website that our holiday is cancelled as they have banned travel to Manchester, we’re travelling to South Yorkshire but flying into Manchester to be collected by relatives (who also aren't from Manchester). I need to try and arrange another day off of work to salvage our holiday, I'm significantly out of pocket and I'm so done with the fucking message "we're all in this together". No we're fucking not!!!!

I thought you were allowed to travel 'through' Manchester? I've got a dear friend and I'm changing trains in Manch to see her and I'm bloody going...

Oh, @HappyPumpkin81 that’s all just proper shite
