The other countries are effectively copying one anothers homework. These restrictions have been a misstep and I hope there is a lessons learnt and post mortem. Particularly over how data is being presented and subsequently reported. It really has been badly skewed to justify going further than is necessary. That's a new variant! Not a new variant of covid, a variant of the story described as "everyone's oot o' step except oor Jock" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve completely missed the point. What I’m getting at is that NHS staff who have tested positive for covid, but are feeling well enough to attend work, should not be excluded from working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I'm not listening in, but is that three deaths since when? I was expecting a backlog - or are deaths not really registered at all during the Festive period? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 You’ve completely missed the point. What I’m getting at is that NHS staff who have tested positive for covid, but are feeling well enough to attend work, should not be excluded from working. Staff with confirmed Covid should continue to attend to patients in our hospitals. Is that what you are saying here ??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 What is the point of this especially given they announced in advance that today would not be about any change to ongoing restrictions. Totally pointless (non) update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
