Sounds as though they are only vaccinating people who are 50 and above unless you have an underlying condition That's just phase 1. Once they've experimented on all the wrinklies they'll roll it out to everyone else, presuming it goes well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Looking for a bit of employment advice.My wife has two two day jobs with the same company, one secretarial and one in their warehouse which is currently furloughed. Both jobs have different hours, different pay scales and different line management. They have phoned today to say they want to unfurlough her from the warehouse post to do admin work.Can they do this? She's not wanting to be awkward but at the same time not keen on getting the mickey taken. Contract will no doubt say any other duties as required. As long as she is getting paid is there a problem. ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Daily updates on vaccinations in England from a week today. Your move NicolaHe (Bozo) gave the UK figures today so presumably that will be the case from Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if my hot take was gently but repeatedly pointed out as being bollocks, I would listen to the responses and wonder whether I might be wrong. Not sure why I should put any credence in anyone pointing out my "hot take being bollocks" when the long and short of my "hot take" is that in my opinion the Scottish government are doing an inadequate job of handling the pandemic at this moment. A completely subjective opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can dig up the relevant Government document if you insist. 70% of the population has been mentioned frequently as the minimum coverage they're looking for. Quote The second phase of vaccination will focus on the rest of the population, mainly the under-50s, who are much less likely to be ill with Covid-19. Teachers, transport workers and the military could be prioritised at that point, but more data on how well the vaccines are working will be needed before that decision is made. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55045639 Edited January 5, 2021 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she was furloughed for the secretarial job they wouldn't be able to unfurlough the warehouse job to enable her to do work that would normally be done in the secretarial role, but as it doesn't read like she is furloughed from the secretarial role currently, then so long as her contract allows for it, I can't see an issue with temporarily changing the duties of the warehouse role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Good Afternoon. 7 Days on from my last review it is worth a complete council update. Public Health have enjoyed their holidays and updated the figures. Dumfries & Galloway 77.3 to 536.1 Five Hundred and Thirty Six !! I knew that Johnny Dumfries and George Galloway had been fucking idiots, but didn't think they would have that much of an effect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 11 minutes ago, Todd_is_God said: No The JVCI haven't completed a priority list for phase 2 yet (under 50s without underlying conditions), but the fact they're working on it should be enough to convince you that there will be one. As I suggested, there will much more evidence to go on when the over 50s are done. Quote The next phase – further reduction in hospitalisation and targeted vaccination of those at high risk of exposure and/or those delivering key public services As the first phase of the programme is rolled out in the UK, additional data will become available on the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines. This data will provide the basis for consideration of vaccination in groups that are at lower risk of mortality from COVID-19. The committee is currently of the view that the key focus for the second phase of vaccination could be on further preventing hospitalisation. Vaccination of those at increased risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 due to their occupation could also be a priority in the next phase. This could include first responders, the military, those involved in the justice system, teachers, transport workers, and public servants essential to the pandemic response. Priority occupations for vaccination are considered an issue of policy, rather than for JCVI to advise on. JCVI asks that the Department of Health and Social Care consider occupational vaccination in collaboration with other government departments. Wider use of COVID-19 vaccines will provide a better understanding of whether they can prevent infection and onward transmission in the population. Data on vaccine impact on transmission, along with data on vaccine safety and effectiveness, will potentially allow for consideration of vaccination across the rest of the population. As trials in children and pregnant women are completed, we will also gain a better understanding of the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines in these persons. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/priority-groups-for-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccination-advice-from-the-jcvi-30-december-2020/joint-committee-on-vaccination-and-immunisation-advice-on-priority-groups-for-covid-19-vaccination-30-december-2020 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 A fixed penalty notice to go with his buggered leg. https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/walkers-fined-over-covid-rules-breach-after-mountain-rescue-223723 Quote Two men were given fixed penalty notices after being rescued from a Munro on Hogmanay. Police and mountain rescue teams were called to help when the hikers got into difficulty descending Buachaille Etive Mòr in Glen Coe. Police Scotland said that one of the men had sustained a leg injury which resulted in 25 members of Glencoe Mountain Rescue Team attending on foot to locate the men and safely assist them off the hill. The injured man was taken by road ambulance to hospital for assessment. During the rescue, a member of Glencoe MRT suffered an injury which is currently undergoing medical assessment. Inspector Kevin Macleod, from Highlands and Islands Police Division, said: “The men had travelled from Oban to hike this route, and found themselves in difficultly as the light was fading at 3.25pm when police and MRT were called. “The rescue took a total of 108 man hours and the team stood down at 7.30pm. Both men, aged 21 and 27, were issued with fixed penalty notices for breaching travel regulations. "We continue to ask people to take personal responsibility to do the right thing and remember the purpose of these measures is to aid the collective effort to protect the NHS and save lives by preventing the virus from spreading." The travel restrictions in Scotland have been tightened further since the incident, with a national lockdown put in place from Tuesday morning. Andy Neilson, team leader at Glencoe Mountain Rescue, said: “We will always continue to provide the vital MRT service that we are committed to. However, the volunteers assisting the men did feel vulnerable due to the inevitable close contact required and we have to prioritise the health of our members in order to continue to provide this vital service." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
