Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
Unfortunately not.. the fatigue being tired of the constant being on guard, and the invincibility being what one feels after the jab.
Thank you Doctor,
I was wondering what was wrong with me, and you've nailed it!
My invincibility is definitely fatigued,
Especially between my ears!
Red tape you cry!
What red tape?
Look how easy it is now to send a pork chop to the EU
Absolute doddle
As I read it, no ladders but lots of snakes.Red tape you cry!

I dont recognise those happening and I'm sure that's true of most. Sticking a mask on to enter a shop is the limit of on guard for most, the rest of the time just relaxed with others as usual.
And the invincibility is a constant, only other people get Covid-19.
These are why it's still with us.

As you say, vaccination will never be perfect; our number of cases seems to have flattened but nowhere near 0. The number of deaths is still falling a fortnight after the levelling of the cases. This is an encouraging confirmation that the vaccines will limit seriousness of cases as well as reducing their number, as the trials have suggested. We need to wait a little on that though, I think the lag cases->deaths has been a bit more than a fortnight. (I see hospital admissions are also still dropping very significantly.)
I repeat my suggestion that the short term levelling of cases in mid-Feb indicated a natural steady state for lockdown without vaccine, and the current fairly steady state is from lockdown plus significant contribution from vaccine. (The evidence for that is there in the figures but very far from conclusive with so many different effects all being in play at once.)
Wonder how long this will take to complete?
When there are ongoing issues, investigations should be run so as to get the worst failings fixed as quickly as possible.
Response of NHS 111 to the COVID-19 pandemic
We have launched a national investigation into NHS 111’s response to callers reporting potential symptoms of COVID-19 during the pandemic.
NHS 111 is the 24/7 telephone and online service for people seeking advice and information about urgent medical problems. The NHS 111 telephone service adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic by introducing a COVID-19 National Response Service (CNRS).
The CNRS is a branch of the NHS 111 telephone service designed to assess patients, following an algorithm, reporting symptoms of coronavirus. The algorithm determines the appropriate management for the patient.
A key component of the CNRS was the COVID-19 Clinical Assessment Service (CCAS). When required the CCAS offered a remote clinical review to the assessment of patients reporting COVID-19 symptoms following their use of NHS 111.
CCAS was primarily formed of GPs returning to practice, sessional GPs and GP partners/salaried GPs with equipment and training offered to support high quality clinical triage.
Some patients calling NHS 111 with symptoms of coronavirus may have reached the core NHS 111 telephone service instead of the CNRS. In these cases, the call handler for the core NHS 111 telephone service would assess the patient, following the core pathway algorithm.
The national investigation will consider both the CNRS and the core 111 service’s response to patients reporting COVID-19 symptoms.

They really do tie themselves into knots in their efforts to cope!

This is hilarious, the Government has not only gone AWOL, but is fielding excuses written Deloite with the money spaffed on test and trace.
Here is an interesting take on the vaccine situation
People denying the reality of disease has a long heritage. I happened across this example today. They don't deny the existence of a disease, but its seriousness. (Mind, they are pretty casual about influenza and malaria as well!)
I wonder how many government contracts they would have won? And how much excess they would charge?
“SPANISH FLUE,”
or “RAPID FLUE”
as it is called in some districts, is a mild combination of influenza and malaria.
While not serious if taken in hand at once, it is highly infectious, as evidenced by the rapid spread of the epidemic throughout the Continent and now Great Britain.
With the little Free Vaporiser
FUMO-TARACINE
will at once STOP the complaint and prevent spread of infection.

The Firm I worked for was called "Ideal Boilers " back then and the MD had a framed copy of this on this wall with a hand written note underneath from his Brother.
" Here you are, the answer to those problems customers have with boiler's sooting up!"
