Stop fannying about to be honest and treating them with kid gloves. Start requiring vaccinations for things that normally need vaccinations like healthcare work and travel. If it’s mostly the young add in nightclubs and education.

from the polling it looks more like a “can’t be arsed and haven’t got round to it” issue than a “muh rights” issue anyway. So a few more reasons to get it done are needed.

To be fair, as soon as the government mentioned vaccine passports for clubs etc there was uproar, think it’s still coming in in Sept. They don’t fuck about in the US, heard yesterday workers at a big firm (sorry can’t remember which) that aren’t double jabbed have to keep wearing a mask and $200 per month gets deducted from their salary !

It’s so sad and frustrating that people aren’t getting jabbed and ending up dying needlessly. There needs to be a briefing from PHE/NHS and info drive explaining its pretty much unvaccinated ending up seriously ill*

Numbers of first jabs have at least crept up recently, not sure if that’s solely to do with 16-17 year olds now being able to get one though


*Edit - not seen the data to support this, basing it on comments above and what I’ve heard elsewhere. Anyone got any info ?

Delta Airways is the firm. An extra $200 on their company medical insurance. What’s funny is they used the technical name for the delta variant because they didn’t want the negative associations.

Was on here yesterday but not posting, so hopefully is just focussing efforts on making his wife comfortable on her recovery.

I won't tag him, however, as should probably be his time to choose when to update from now on. Suffice to say, thoughts with him and his family however.

Hi all

Sorry for not posting updates just been the scariest week and a bit of my life

I will one day post everything that's been happening but as it stands my wife's stats stabilised Tuesday onwards and started to improve since Thursday

She has now been discharged from ICU and is on the regular ward still being weaned off oxygen if possible.

Not taking anything for granted and still praying for a full recovery.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers. I know not everyone is spiritual but I believe a higher power has heard them all.

positive news mate. Fully appreciate you don't want to get ahead of yourself and are taking it day by day but the fact she is out if ICU is a big step forward. Hope you are coping OK, you need to make sure you look after yourself because you can't look after your wife if you don't.

Some great news this week. Firstly and unsurprisingly it was confirmed that the risk of blood clots was considerably higher from covid than AZ (or Pfizer). Also, it’s now been found that AZ appears to be the most effective vaccine for keeping people out of hospital/dying.

ps been said by many already but great news CC4L. Keeping fingers crossed for quick and full recovery

Sorry buddy, either I didn't see or the notifications are playing games.

Being discharged from ICU is no small achievement, that's a really good sign. Best of luck and hopefully this will be all behind you before too long. What a shitty experience, but I'm sure as a family you'll value each other 100 times more as a result of this and that has to be worth something.

If it helps, you didn't miss much today. We played well but lost, so fuck it. Take care!

Just catching up with this thread after some time, so pleased your wife has turned a corner cc4life, it must have been a very worrying time for you.
On the subject of incentives to get jabbed what about a free upgrade to phase one status up the city

Strange stance for an anti-vaxxer. It’s almost as if he makes it up as he goes along. He’s practically a Tory.

Do you think doctors should be fired if they refuse to get vaccinated for measles or hepatitis as is the current rules?

“forcing people to get vaccinated” is a red herring. No country forces any vaccines on anyone, just makes them a requirement for certain jobs or activities.

I'd imagine a doctor knows this before he begins to study / qualify ?

We are talking about people already employed... it's their choice stalin

For most medical staff it’s clear when they join a trust, here’s a document from 2019 for Gloucester NHS staff:



The precedent for this is well established. Why should we make an exception for COVID?

Why weren’t you on the streets calling people Stalin for all these other diseases?
