There's 90,000 confirmed cases and what we do infact now know is that 85000 of those are from footballers and their staff

im waiting for PCR test back after someone in the fam had a positive lateral flow. Honestly...if its positive...its going to be a real test to isolate for 11 days.

Another PCR after 4 days maybe? lol

Aren’t you on holiday? Sounds like that’s going well.

 

[Evo1883]

On another note , that means that the delta varient at best now counts for 30,000 new cases , which is down by over 20,000 in a couple weeks ?
With megatron now accounting for 60,000

I’m back in the UK for a month to see everyone and hopefully watch some footy before starting a new job

So far zero footy and all plans been cancelled cause everyone has covid

 

[rob9872]

Me and Mark and 498 leamingtonians

Too late Juggy has over 300 of them and we've given a few out to some lads from Brum sorry. L&W got 42, Southam might have a couple of spares for you. If we can't get rid of all ours I'll give you first dibs on the details of the ebay auctions.

"rules out Christmas restrictions"

What a hero. Just after then. So obvious.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I now have to lockdown until new year but then restrictions will be in place and they expect not to see my mates all of us who have had it.

Ain’t gonna happen.

I’ll take that. Best we could expect. The alternative is tougher restrictions brought in now ahead of the data on severity.

I’ve just seen the USA hasn’t even been making LFs readily available. People had to buy and reclaim cost. Only now are they sending a load out to people

Yeah but Boris saved Christmas

They also get huge bills for any covid treatment. Mate of mine was working on tour in the US and got it. Was isolating in a hotel and was getting worse so asked for a doctor to come out. $5K for one doctors call out!

Welcome to the future of our healthcare

Don’t be silly SBD

 

[clint van damme]

Don’t be silly SBD

Really?

 

[CCFCSteve]

Really?

Yeah, to get anywhere near that would take years or decades. During which time the public will have numerous opportunities to vote out the government. The NHS being one of voters top voting issues

Do I think NHS will alter. I think it will have to to some extent. I don’t have the answers but hope investment in modernisation will help. We also need a society that doesn’t just take it for granted though and takes more personal responsibility for their own health. Wrong thread so I’ll leave it there

 

[Philosoraptor]

When the population has been given the opportunity to have three jabs the vaccinated will be three jabs. Until then its two jabs as proof of vaccination.

Tell you what though, making sure it doesn't end up divided by free care for certain diseases and not others, is the best argument I have why unvaccinated people shouldn't be treated differently ref: Covid and the NHS...

Loving the idea people in the U.K. are actively harming their own health because it’s free to fix.

I would like to see simple stuff brought in like paying for no shows.

*Groan*. Hardly what I said. I’m saying that as a nation we need to start looking after ourselves better and if we do, that will hopefully reduce pressure on the nhs.

Check alcohol and obesity related issues for starters. If people were paying related to their behaviours I bet many would soon start to consider their actions/choices more. I’m saying that as someone whos own actions have caused work for the nhs. We all do but some more than most

Having private health care lead to the oxycontin epidemics the States.
They also got huge issues with other drugs, alcohol, obesity and shooting each other.

Eye watering medical bills don't seem to stop them.

It will never ever happen

If there's one subject I would love to be absolutely 100 percent proven wrong on its this

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Read what I said, people dying from Omicron.

It will get to a point when the science and statistics just get pushed to the side and ignored because they don't fit.

Science and statistics have been pushed to the side for empty platitudes, hypersensitiveness, and lack of perspective for a long time already unfortunately.

Tony Blair: Planning for fourth covid jabs needed to 'stay ahead of curve'

Former prime minister also recommends a 'command and control' team be set up to manage future coronavirus outbreaks

How about a fourth?

America of course being well known for its healthy population and lack of obese people.

Really wish he would just fuck off ad infinitum.

Boris will be desperate to avoid any restrictions if he can, purely as it would be more popular. I mean he was always going to be a one term PM but it can't have been fun to have the Ally Pally chanting they hate you

Pretty sure he won't give a shit. People like that dont.

Just came across this, interesting rebuttal to the “modellers always get it wrong” line

Well they do though dont they?

If Sage were correct throughout this pandemic we"d have about 10 million deaths and the NHS would no longer function.

You love doom and gloom you do

You do understand modelling? It's not exact and it is based on certain circumstances which mean once those things change i.e.measures are taken then thus the model will be out of date.

This is GCSE stuff

It will be crushing him. He exists to be liked

 

[Saddlebrains]

Anyone else now ready to admit that those of us who were saying this was going to be a massive overreaction are right yet?

 

[ajsccfc]

The only thing this thread indicates is really that nobody knows what they're talking about. That of course isn't limited to here either
