I mentioned last week how the usual skivers are well skiving. Got a Gp now isolating for a third time after claiming to have it, this time tested and quelle surprise negative. Mind you this is the same fella that went sick for 2/12 after straining his shoulder stretching. In other news my concern about regular Non Covid patients being pretty much left to their own devices seems to be happening with planned scans, procedures cancelled and of course the lack of capacity for us to see them in practice. I was in my own practice today instead of the Covid unit and the volume of mental health calls was scary and again there is no real support available and patients are struggling. We are doing our best but it isn't easy. The mrs was saying that critical care is of course rammed but there are some good success stories with patients rallying well despite struggling badly earlier in the week. Also on a plus side my chippy has arrived. Keep your spirits up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Nine out of ten people support the actions of the government to stop the spread of the virus. Or, to put it another way, 10% of people are opposed to trying to stop it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52228169 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Don't know if it's been mentioned but Barbour have halted all clothing manufacture and have started making only PPE for the NHS. #SafetyCasual. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that Wales is showing the highest per capita rates in the UK. North Scotland so far relatively protected. I'd like to move to Wales If those rates are comparable across countries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Some guy utterly furious on my local fb page that people weren't out clapping in his street. Pointed out that people can show appreciation in other ways, and that if we make it compulsory to clap we'll end up with a situation like the poppy stuff that goes on every year. Now he's accusing me of being a Celtic supporter This country 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he's accusing me of being a Celtic supporter [emoji2357] This country [emoji31][emoji379] I had some eejit on fb, claiming we should have a Live Aid type concert for NHS. Totally ignoring the fact our tax should be paying for it, and all the issues including austerity that are crippling it.Morons, morons everywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Loads of people clapping on my street, banging pots and some fireworks from the rougher types across the road.I actually found it quite moving. Some of my neighbours are self isolating and one family has a member on a ventilator and receiving other life saving care with the virus, for them it was a chance to see their neighbours and they were shouting over and waving to the people across the street. It was nice for them, the impact of having so little social contact must be huge. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Did a wee token effort with my 86 year old father-in-law in our front garden. A Polish flag flying for 30 seconds as a GIRFUY to Trump to say we accept everyone in our NHS, just in case he was looking in at Lochee this evening... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 It's time for the WHO to crawl out of the CCP's arse.

My wife claps every week although hasn't gone quite as far as banging pots and pans. But I understand there's a bit of a feel good thing about it. Just worried it's going to become compulsory or you're scum for not getting involved. Hints of that already on my local fb groups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that enthusiasm will carry through to the next GE and voting for a political party commited to the NHS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
