What has this got to do with the point I was making? It's mad how people have got tunnel vision with this whole thing, it's like 100% focus on the people suffering and dying with Covid, but fuck anybody who will die because they didn't get a cancer diagnosis, or whatever else. I struggle to see how anyone can watch that video and the information within it, and come back and dismiss it because Gupta features. It's a crazy-mad myopic standpoint!

No, Gupta misses the point, that the NHS should have more money to deliver safe pathways for people to get routine tests done. But she's a Tory cunt, we've got to tighten our belt and take one on the chin.

It seems like T-Cell Immuno-Responses are not informed by previous exposure to other Coronavirus', instead by "“lifelong exposure to a diverse and heterogenous array of various random antigens”

Looks like we can put Matt Hancock in the same bracket as other medical pioneers such as Edward Jenner, Louis Pasteur or Dr Jonas Salk....

 

Or maybe she's back on the sauce

It was a joke response to your reply about someone dismissing someones opinion for who they are. 

 

A joke SpyBee. I know you struggle with humour but fucking hell put your nappy back on, you're pissing everywhere.

Does anyone know how Sweden is going on?  Things have gone a bit quiet on that front recently. 

Ugh- https://www.thelocal.se/20201209/stockholms-icu-units-reach-99-percent-capacity

 

Stockholm healthcare chief calls for help from public as ICUs reach 99 percent capacity

The intensive care units in the Swedish capital region Stockholm reached 99 percent capacity on Tuesday for the first time during the coronavirus pandemic, as the region's head of healthcare called on all Stockholmers to follow recommendations more strictly.
As of Wednesday, there were 83 patients with Covid-19 in the region's intensive care units, a slight fall from 89 on Tuesday.

"That is equivalent to the total number of intensive care places which we have available normally," said Björn Eriksson, healthcare director for the region, at a press conference. Stockholm has made more intensive care places available during the pandemic, but on Tuesday, these approximately 160 care places reached 99 percent capacity, including Covid-19 and other patients.

Eriksson said Stockholm's healthcare workers were so overworked that he had formally asked the National Board of Health and Welfare for specialist nurses and nursing assistants to be sent from other regions, and has asked private health caregivers to make their staff available too if possible.

And he said that while the healthcare system was working to make places available, there were "not large margins", partly because the winter has meant more people are seeking care for other emergencies.

He noted this was in general a good thing, because early intervention can reduce the total amount of care needed and the overall risk to health when it comes to issues like heart problems – but called for help from everyone living in Stockholm.

There were more Covid-19 patients in intensive care in spring, reaching a peak of 230, but the healthcare system was able to cope with this thanks only to huge efforts such as an emergency field hospital, pausing some non-essential care, and other crisis measures.

Right now there are no plans to reopen the emergency field hospital, with Eriksson telling the TT newswire: "We can get the capacity that the field hospital would offer in the existing healthcare facilities in Stockholm. We have shown that we can scale up earlier. But now we have colleagues who have worked in this way for a whole year and are of course having a very tough time."

'The biggest challenge of our time': How Sweden doubled intensive care capacity amid Covid-19 pandemic
'Everyone needs to follow the recommendations, not just 'many''

"Right now, 814 people are fighting in our hospitals to survive and recover," said Eriksson, referring to the total number of Covid-19 patients in hospital, not just intensive care units.

"It's enough now. It cannot be worth [risking increased illness and deaths] to have after-work drinks, to socialise outside your own household, crowding to do Christmas shopping, meeting for advent fika even if it's what we want to do. The consequences are awful.

"So I need help. Every parent, talk with your children – everyone can suffer serious illness [from Covid-19] even though it's more common for elderly people or those with underlying symptoms," he said.

"Help out by not only saying 'no' if you get an invitation to socialise outside your household, but also inform the person who invited you that it is a bad idea to have this kind of event at all."

He also urged those who had experienced serious illness from Covid-19 or who had worked in the healthcare sector to describe their experience to others, to show "what an awful disease this is".

"We need more people to understand that having a beer after work with some colleagues can have disastrous consequences. I know that many are working patiently to follow the guidelines and recommendations. But now we have to ensure that it is not only 'many', but everyone, who follows the recommendations," urged Eriksson.

He said that the current serious situation, and recent rise in coronavirus cases requiring hospital care was directly linked to people's actions.

"This shows that we Stockholmers have been in crowded environments too much, and had too many contacts outside the household we live in," said Eriksson.

GPs seem to be the biggest blockers to the NHS working properly these days, Blair is probably to blame for that.

 

Back in the day you had GPs  and hospitals, nine times out of 10 you went to the GP, and you'd go to hospital if your head was hanging off. It was straightforward to get an appointment, rather than having to queue from 8am to find old people have take the entire day's appointments by ten past. They'd also do home visits regularly, pretty unthinkable now.

 

Now it's so difficult to see a GP that you end up being directed to 111 - who invariably send you to A&E, or a walk in centre, where you queue for eight hours to get told by a nurse "I'm only a nurse".

 

GPs basically operate like dentists now, money-minded business people working nine to five, giving you shite antibiotics because the decent stuff hits their bottom line, and taking the piss out of you when you leave the office because you're on the dole.

 

"Oooh it's my Friday afternoon at Spire later." Fuck off.

Wut?

[Paulie Dangerously]

Realised yesterday that I had lost my sense of smell. I'd had too many beers to get a test, so having one in an hour. A positive test means my Christmas plans will be in disarray and the kids I teach will have to stay home for the last week and miss out on all the fun. 

[sir roger]

Best of luck , Paulie.

 

If the worst came to the worst, they reduced the quarantine period to 10 days yesterday and presumably you are back counting a day or two , when do you break up ?
