Covid - news and views

Some emotional stuff here.No one has been fined for going to work and the rule (for the safety of staff) has been in place from the begining. No one is blaming anyone, just stating what is reported as a discussion. In the end it is up to us to take rsponsibility ourselves and  as a family we have done so. No meeting over XmaS and basically self isolation until we see the outcome of the disease. My grouse is the idiocy of people with 2 years of research, statistics etc that shows the vaccination is your best bet as being safe, go out of their way to put others at risk.

An awful lot of trouble for an anti-vaxxer to go to just to cause a problem.

It may be just me but I don't see in general terms a DSS fraudster, who are generally in it for themselves, being an anti-vaxxer? Could be I suppose.

NHS#, name, address, doctors surgery🤷🏻‍♂️. Then repeated again on turning up. I would expect the walk in would need to see you & an on line check done.

One of our sons aged 55 came over from Hong Kong with just one jab in his arm but needed a second jab to be allowed to fly back. Plymouth hospital asked which local GP he is registered with and what his NHS number is - he said he had neither of those as he has lived overseas for the last 30 years. They simply typed in his name and date of birth and said Oh you were here 42 years ago when you were 13 when you broke your wrist on a school summer camp - and then wrote out his NHS number on a piece of paper for him. The power of their computer !

Same here, I haven't seen the report but guess its just some media person stirring up trouble as usual.

I'm not sure which is the worst the anti vaxxers or the low life press.

We have family members that are not vaxxed can't get through to them that they should be

I find it hard to believe that Governments the world over are pleading with people to accept the vaccination.  The lovely staff at my daughter's care home were given the choice get vaccinated or find another job  . Fortunately they all had the sense to get it and  the same alternative should be offered to everyone in employment. For those not employed  it should be withdrawal  of benefits .
