They have not stated from when yet, though I suspect start of March… We have been hybrid since June last year and I dare say some have got very used to it, but that’s it all over, and I’m sure plenty of others are away to find the same. A couple of weeks left for me, making the most of it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how tiny wee bits of theatre like we still have up here maintain the illusion of 'safety'. Still, down to 300 from the 1,200 who labelled July 19 an 'unethical experiment'. Also this: Vaccination does not stop the virus replicating. It prevents severe disease and death extremely well. This is quite simply a manipulation of the truth. Vaccinating the world will not prevent the virus from evolving, hence it won't prevent 'new variants'. Bad faith weaselry to try and make political attacks. This is a case where the headline does not match the content. The article is about scientists suggesting more vaccination in countries round the world. The only reference to "reckless" is this: Quote Allowing huge numbers of people in low- and middle-income countries to remain unvaccinated is a reckless approach to public health that creates conditions where new Sars-CoV-2 variants of concern are more likely to develop Hee haw to do with lifting restrictions. Only a vague mention of that at the end of the article. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people in Chad and Mongolia and Magagascar that will never set foot in the UK and are unvaccinated! Edit: that is an utterly perverse piece of journalism. The UK (or at least in this context, England) is not the centre by which the world revolves around. Absolutely fine with vaccinating the world and indeed there is a vwry real speed problem here, but weren't the signatories of that letter all telling us to go and get boosted, even those of us in groups that were very low risk of being hospitalised? They can't have this one both ways. I was about to post the same, are those 3bn all planning to come to the UK? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorongil Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Businesses that try to force their people back to the office full time will regret it. Attrition will go through the roof, they will be unable to recruit and they will leave themselves exposed legally. If I was told to return to the office full time now I would resign immediately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I cannot imagine sitting in a queue of cars most mornings going to work. What a waste of my time. Hybrid working arrangements will be the norm surely (where that can work) Great to get out and about meeting colleagues once or twice a week but I dont want to be stuck in an office with a 20 min drive home when I am on the tee at 5.05pm........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been the case since business began, it will be those organisations who continue to evolve that will remain successful, with those that don't declining to the point of failure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 FFS. Going (alone) to inspect an unoccupied workplace for the landlord next week, some random from the tenant's staff is opening up for me. They want me to wear a mask and bring a negative LFT before letting me in the building. Alone. Fkn jobsworths. No doubt they'll want a specialist contractor in after me to fumigate the place too.. Spoiler jokes about fumigating everything after a Rangers fan has been in being fairly standard, or my intended use of the wc facilites are not required.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, in the long run. It'll be used as part of the package. Chance your arm to offer a lower salary but more flexibility elsewhere. E/ers will already be making huge savings in costs, but there will still be benefits for employees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) PCR ONLY Cases Update: 3 Day lag to allow reporting to be accurate. This is an update from 10 days ago. Lateral Flow Positive Results not recorded at this level is bizarre as I have found they are stored at Council level. Must be some sort of political stunt as we no longer measure the same way as the rest of the UK when fed into UK stats on the UK Gov Site. It screws around with TravelTabby as well. Anyway I have done the sums to at least come up with the real Scottish number. Total PCR Cases Scotland 7 days 19th January to 25th January were 32,280 to 25,683 Down 20.44%, Positivity was 18.4% now 17.6%. Cases per 100K were 590.6 now 469.9 THE REAL NUMBER Total Cases Scotland 7 days 19th January to 25th January is 51,176 which equates to 936.3 cases per 100K Home Nations Weekly Cases (LFT & PCR) per 100K update : England 1129 to 1000 Down 11.43%, Wales 677 to 519 down 23.34%, Northern Ireland 1247 to 1481 Up 18.77% Cases in Europe in terms of of numbers per 100K Denmark 2595 to 4979, France 3147 to 3851, Portugal 2415 to 3783, Belgium 3121, Switzerland 2036 to 2791, Sweden 2789, Norway 2604 countries over 2500 and still mostly rising.
