This is what happens when you cut nursing bursaries and the things that go with it. People literally CANNOT AFFORD to train to become a nurse.

Even in hospitals they are using non ICU specialist nurses because there aren't enough specialist nurses to go round and they're having to treat 3 patients per nurse when it's usually one on one.
The underfunding chickens are coming home to roost unfortunately.
No. You will get a government approved hamper of toys and BDSM gear from a private contractor. Not exchangeable for cash

Let them get it then.
The massive majority of the country is locked down to protect the small minority of people who would be hospitalised by COVID. The strictest lockdown measures should have been on them all along.
This is good on our part but we need everyone to vaccinate to open the world back up
Less than 50% in USA - led by the science lolThis is good on our part but we need everyone to vaccinate to open the world back up
It’s because we’ve told them it’s a British made vaccineSay what you want about the Tories and Brexit, but generally I've always been proud that British people don't buy into bullshit easily. It's protected us from fascism and now anti-vax nonsense. Makes me proud.

We've been fucking up nursing recruitment for years from what I can tell. Saw something saying that Trusts had to show tight financial control at some point and the easiest way to do that was to just cut the nurse training places and just hire bank staff/immigrants. So the places dried up.
Now of course we've just told all those immigrant nurses to fuck off home.
You've been pushing this argument for ages and it's nonsense. We aren't locking down 'to protect the old people' we're locking down to ensure we have a health service at all and to protect the economy (people don't go out when there's a killer virus about lockdown or not - you want people to start spending/working you've got to make them feel safe by reducing the virus). And because if we let the virus run rampant it'll make vaccination and treatment harder.
Aren't the old people and the people with bad health conditions most likely to have to go into hospital though?
Exactly, so if old people and people are likely to be hospitalised by it stay at home, see nobody, lock their doors then they won't get it and won't need to go to hospital....The problem is if the hospitals are saturated with patients just for COVID it leaves them unable to manage everyone else.

The end of their livesUntil when?
As long as it takes, until their vaccine is fully working.Until when?
What criteria are you using here as 'bad health conditions'? Are you using those in vaccine priority group 4 which is clinically extremely vulnerable, or group 6 which is at-risk or anyone who would be classed as having a pre-existing condition on the ONS covid death stats?Aren't the old people and the people with bad health conditions most likely to have to go into hospital though?

It's all well and good police stopping people going for walks in the woods. They should be stopping people over a certain age that have left the house.
320k a day. come on!
Would be 2 and a quarter million a week. I'm wondering if for any reason it would go down at the weekend or on Sunday though?That’s the highest increase so far. Keep it up and we’re over 2 million a week. Brilliant news

I don’t know the numbers on those, the folks I know administering it are still doing weekends but might not be the case everywhere.
They are open weekends
Issue is stock though and can they keep it coming in

Of course, here’s hoping.
Hopefully it will be ok as the AZ vaccine is made in the UK as well
