It’s like when Martin picks on Bart in the Simpsons.
When that wet lettuce has them laughing at your expense you know you're in trouble.
Not sure how ‘Mr Johnson’ is going to be able to survive this.
Bat shit
Not really surprised by the response, its seems a very bizarre idea.
Yet many healthcare workers and community members say the policy is not only ill-advised, it’s potentially dangerous.
“The situation just feels so hopeless,” said Erin McIntosh, a rapid-response nurse at Riverside Community Hospital. “I went into healthcare wanting to help people, but now I’m the vector. Someone is coming to me in their time of need, and I could potentially be passing them COVID."
My Dad went into UHCW on Christmas Day. After nearly 2 years of following advice for the vulnerable and not leaving the house he now has covid and its not looking good. The idea that someone in a similar position to him could be given covid from a hospital worker who has been told to work while knowing they are infectious is very troubling to me.The announcement was met with outrage by many in the healthcare industry.
The decision is “irresponsible and a huge mistake that will jeopardize everyone’s health,” said Rosanna Mendez, executive director of SEIU 121RN, a union representing workers in Southern California. “This plan is unscientific and dangerous, and, given what we know about the transmissibility of the new variant, we believe it will put healthcare workers and patients at unnecessary risk.”

It should be troubling to everyone, if vulnerable patients can't be safe in a hospital where can they, i hope your Dad gets better soon.Not really surprised by the response, its seems a very bizarre idea.

Really sorry to hear that CD. This varient is so transmissible, it was be potentially catastrophic to send in known covid positive health workers to care for already vulnerable and poorly patients.Not really surprised by the response, its seems a very bizarre idea.

Firstly, Fingers crossed for your Dad Chiefdave....Really hope he gets through it all OK.
Regarding the asymptomatic positive healthcare workers gonig in to work.....its not clear cut as far as I'm concerned.
Sure, its very far from ideal, but so is trying to run a healthcare system under immense pressure when many staff are sat at home, feeling A-OK but unable to help.
I mentioned a couple weeks ago that a mate of my Mrs. who works frontline NHS was suggesting the same as they need the staff back as their absence is making the situation more dangerous in many ways....
Defo stuck between a rock & a hard place, but anyone writing it off as crazy doesn't grasp the seriousness of the situation caused by chronic understaffing.
Is the situation ideal? No,” said Dr. Robert-Kim Farley, an epidemiologist and infectious-diseases expert at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. “Is it the lesser of the two evils of having no one to care for patients, versus having staff caring for them that may have COVID? Yes, it’s the lesser of two evils.”
Of course the whole point in restrictions was to introduce less Covid into the NHS, meaning it functioned better. We seem to have abandoned the NHS just atm...Agree the absences may cause more issues than Covid (Omicron) to most patients but there’s an option inbetween that hasn’t been explored yet which is reducing self isolation further but you require two negative tests before release.

Good news about being 5 days. Should help a lot of the staff shortages.
UK used 'propagandistic' tactics to scare public to follow Covid rules
Writing in the magazine Unherd today, behavioural scientist Simon Ruda he said fear was initially used to boost public compliance during the first UK lockdown but had been carried through the crisis.www.dailymail.co.uk
The RCN has asked to be exempt from the 5 days isolation rule but what do they know, eh?
There was a doctor on the news saying if you get a positive LFT its very accurate but a negative LFT is only about 50% accurate. Also mentioned there's a recent study from the US into Omicron which shows you're likely to be infectious longer than with previous variants.In a roundabout way then they must be saying that LFs aren’t accurate enough and/or people can still transmit after testing negative ?!

50/50 in hospitals isn’t good. Surely they could suggest hospital workers coming out of isolation need pcr after Day 5
The last point is what the virologist just on the radio said can indeed happen. I couldn't tell you if his was the consensus or not, however.In a roundabout way then they must be saying that LFs aren’t accurate enough and/or people can still transmit after testing negative ?!
Capacity to get results, I'd suppose. PCR results on hospital are still coming back 24 hours later.50/50 in hospitals isn’t good. Surely they could suggest hospital workers coming out of isolation need pcr after Day 5
