Were they not struggling for staff
Thought they were still ready to go. Not entirely sure though
Think if it came to needing to use them then yesWere they not struggling for staff
What's happened to those nightingale hospitals
Think if it came to needing to use them then yes
Why have you posted it here then?Just saw this. No context so don't shoot me down.
People under 60 still get ill, just because they don't die doesn't mean they do not end up in hospital.They don't need them.
There was also a lot of NHS workers who offered to return to work after they had left or retired etc. They weren't needed either.
Again, the death rates are lethal if you are in certain categories, but under 60s without underlying health conditions, the number is about 300 from the whole year. (No that doesn't mean I think over 60s and vulnerable people are expendable.)

That isn't my point.
The virus is largely harmless to the majority of the population.
My wife works for the NHS but not on the "frontline". Some of the things she shows me are a bit surprising.
I'm not knocking the NHS.... but it's a shame tax payers money is definitely being wasted on some people who are not focused on their work or seemingly uncaring about their lack of professionalism.
You were talking about hospital capacityThat isn't my point.

Why are there so many elderly people wondering around the supermarket at this time?
You literally have all fucking day to go, yet you choose the busiest time during a pandemic. I just finished paying in Asda and some old woman and her daughter, I presume, were waddling towards the exit, causing a massive queue of shoppers. The trail of trolleys were like planes waiting to get on the runway to take off .

Some mover's on that and I'd like to identify the tune lol.Are some people really getting upset because some people in a very stressful job sometimes have a bit of fun at work?
No staff - massive waste of moneyWhat's happened to those nightingale hospitals
Nick loves theseJust saw this. No context so don't shoot me down.
South African strain sounds interestingThat isn't my point.

I hear 400 people went for a lateral flow test yesterday morning in Cov and 11 tested positive despite being asymptomatic.
You can see how this thing could absolutely rip around the UK even further following the Christmas bubbles!
Surely has to be another national lockdown in January?
Definitely and UHCW’s is also now all set up and ready to go which should hopefully speed up the roll out of the vaccination process around here and especially if as predicted the AZ/Oxford one gets its approval by the end of the year.100%
One bit of slightly more positive news. A mate was saying a vaccination site in the NW was slick/impressive. Need the AZ/Oxford vaccine to be approved, ideally asap (I know I keep banging on about it but assuming it works on all the new variants it’s main hope for a quick return to ‘normality’). Would be a massive boost to national morale as there are limits to current vaccine programme
What constitutes an underlying condition?That isn't my point.

Depends who you want to believe, either a PR stunt as there's no staff or not needed as hospitals haven't been overwhelmed.What's happened to those nightingale hospitals
Needs a lot more work but there are studies out there that show a decent percentage of asymptomatic cases have heart and lung damage after recovery. How that will impact on long term health is an unknown at the moment.It is reckoned that if you vaccinate the 9 groups identified as a priority for receiving it you effectively eliminate hospitalisations. Below those groups other diseases become just as if not slightly more dangerous. If I get flu I will be out for a week, if I get COVID there’s a strong chance I won’t realise.
There was a doctor on the radio months ago who named three common conditions that in general didn't impact day to day life but would be considered an underlying condition, claimed you were talking about well over half the population with just those (was being overweight, asthma and something else I can't remember - maybe high blood pressure), then add in the elderly and other underlying conditions and the percentage of the population you have left starts shrinking rapidly.What constitutes an underlying condition?

High blood pressure, obesity to name but two very common conditionsWhat constitutes an underlying condition?

It does seem thoroughly shit at the moment and I think January is going to be even worse (is dry Jan a good thing this time around?) but we all have to be hopeful that these vaccines work and get to the most vulnerable as soon as possible and things can naturally start to ease up.
Second half of 2021 could be potentially a fucking fantastic 6 month party!!
