It's good to hear that members of CT are receiving their vaccinations, good luck to all those yet to have theirs. It seems like a long haul till we get everyone sorted and hear the results of the present vaccines.

I'm leaving this open for non political comments as per the guidelines. Hope you can add your own experiences and thoughts.

My first jab comes up tomorrow, I'm so glad we have research institutions that have got us this far! And I am planning breaks away in the hope of improvements on the horizon.

I would rather have the toothache than wear the mask. I take inhalers because my breathing tubes are swollen due to having rhuemetoid arthritis and find it hard to breath with the mask on.

Is an exemption not appropriate then?

Posted on 16/06/2021 19:22

Possibly but then that brings on all the tutting and snide remarks from the self righteous.

You do keep harping on about “people dying from other causes” and wanting to know the numbers. Yes they are, but they were before the pandemic, and will be after it. If you are wanting to find out if people have died because resources have been diverted, clinics, treatment cancelled, then you might have to wait a bit on that, because this isn’t over yet. But there have been excess death numbers (over and above the usual statistics) compiled and in the public domain weekly.

Does that mean then that only covid deaths count.

The figures given are not actually deaths from Covid, but all deaths of people who tested positive for Covid. It therefore includes deaths other than from Covid.

I am afraid that at the moment the NHS are only concerned by covid deaths and no other illness matters.

But they class them as covid deaths. They don’t say x amount from covid and x amount from people who tested positive from covid. They say how many deaths. So basically some could be from other ailments, but they don’t tell you that. Why not? Maybe part of the fear factor.
