The point is that people are screaming blue murder about the NHS being on the verge of collapse and us facing another lockdown because we can't cope with an average of 3 patients per hospital in the country. That is embarrassing right there. There’s a certain element of “the boy who cried wolf” about the NHS too. Can’t remember a time (going back to the mid-late 90s here) when there weren’t stories about the NHS fearing a bad winter, being on its knees etc yet here we are. People are immune to stories about long waiting lists, surgery being cancelled etc - of course we’d like to minimise the impact, but I think people stopped listening years before COVID was a thing. I also think there’s deliberate attempts to get people thinking about bodies in the hospitals in Bergamo 18 months, as if there’s even a remote chance of that happening now, post vaccine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Question for all the experts on here: I’m going to a gig tonight and TRNSMT on Sunday. I need proof of a negative test. Is there anything to stop me submitting a negative result without actually taking the test?

I don’t know the answer to your question, undoubtably one of the threads ‘experts’ will be along to answer soon. My point remains, particularly if you’re in the age group where you could be asymptotic surely it would be responsible to test yourself and hope the other attendees are equally responsible and not selfish c*nts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely missing the point. 12 grand of tax payers money on an advert that tells us absolutely nothing new and is actively making people less inclined to follow guidance. A roaring success then for the SG but I'll just mute my TV and pretend we're not pissing money up the wall. 2. I don't have the means of recording TV, so all TV I watch is live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 It's not though. The point is that people are screaming blue murder about the NHS being on the verge of collapse and us facing another lockdown because we can't cope with an average of 3 patients per hospital in the country. That is embarrassing right there.It's nothing to do with the actual number of Covid patients directly it's the indirect knock on effects. Radio Scotland lunchtime news had an NHS practice manager from Penecuik on. Average daily calls to his practice pre pandemic 150, average this last month 600. It's obviously creaking and although not directly due to the actual number of folk in hospital with Covid it's all connected. Not sure what part of that you refuse toim grasp. Of course the NHS has been under funded for decades and of course that is a disgrace but to try to argue the current strains on the NHS are not due to the Covid pandemic is disingenuous in the extreme. Very few countries testing regimes are much different from ours. The new Danish poster boys test even more than we do. Not arguing at all the testing regime is the right approach, far from it but the strain on the NHS is very real. I'm directly affected as will be umpteen posters on here waiting on surgery or minor procedures. I very much doubt if reducing testing would have that much effect on NHS strain. It wouldn't reduce the numbers ill enough to need hospital admission nor would it speed up the surgery backlogs given it's hard to imagine staff if that level being involved in testing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 It would be interesting to see how many of those in hospital with a recent positive test are new admissions, and how many were already in hospital for something else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
