Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Recommended Posts

It will continue to surprise me when I see folk who have WFH through this being surprised at finding out that their employers dont actually trust them and wont allow it longer than neccessary.

Millions of people all over the country with their heads in the clouds on this issue.

Fair play to the ones who dont have total arseholes for employers, they might get what they want. It probably wont be a majority though.

Purely anecdotal evidence here but at my workplace the majority of staff don’t like working from home & certainly don’t want to do it 5 days a week permanently, most would accept blended tho

Even if their vaccination program goes to schedule, they will still have to reach very high coverage across the population, indeed higher than places like Europe or North America which will have a lot of overlapping immunity via natural infection. Any community transmission which leaks through in autumn and winter before this is achieved is likely to lead to more prolonged shutdowns.

I'm fairly sure they will.   I'm fed up of friends and family sending me pics of them supping pints in busy pubs, or at the fitba.

Other half has just been offered her old job back on a WFH + travelling basis 2 years after being made redundant because they moved all the jobs to Hull.

Aye I’m definitely in this boat. I absolutely hate the working from home environment and really struggle mentally to have a disconnect from work each weekday. Obviously lucky to have the opportunity to still be working but long term I want to be back in the office.

Ready for Leitch bingo:
 
Variants with a mention for the new scary California and New York variants. 
Near elimination
Australia and New Zealand
Saying it is very doubtful someone will be able to go to a bit and Ben in May. 
Need to wait to see the effect of the vaccine on transmission
 
 
 
 
 
So what did he say re fitba?

3.1% test positivity today, 525 cases. It’s getting there.

Really positive numbers again today, on all measures. ICU is half what is was a month ago, hospitalisation numbers even better.

Proportionately, the age of new hospital admissions is dropping too which indicates vaccinations are having an effect and it’s not just lockdown. The next 2 weeks should see the impact of the 60,000 vaccinations a day we were doing a few weeks ago, and we will be in a very different place.

Death rate crashing down too.

All in all, it’s almost unremitting good news.

Wonder if NS will bring things forward if these trends continue. It's definitely looking good.

I’m thinking we might end up ahead of England if this keeps up.

Quietly confident.
We just need Falkirk to grow up.

Agree with this. 
 
Can’t wait to get back.

It really all depends on personal circumstances. I’m supposed to be learning from more experienced co workers, not easy when we’re all in out pwn homes. Also harder to get stuff done in the home environment and my partner doesn’t seem to understand that I’m expected to do the same amount of work as I would in the office, I’ve been doing blended office and wfh for months now yet she frequently refers to my wfh days as “ days off” and often wants my attention, and not in a good way either [emoji31]
