Death rate hopefully shouldn't, unless we run out of ventilators etc. And if the social distancing and lockdown works effectively, number of deaths should start to fall back after a couple of weeks too. That's the theory anyway ... Don’t worry about lack of ventilators, they’re sorted. Plenty of govt ministers on the record saying they’ve placed orders, we’ve now got 12,000 with thousands more imminent. Unless our government is lying to us of course.

Genie Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Friend of mine on Facebook said his wife (a nurse) has had a text message telling her that she must remove her lanyard after her shift as people are stealing then (presumably to get free free drinks and jump the supermarket queue). Absolute scum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally overheard a conversation yesterday where nextdoor’s daughter was telling her that vitamin C cures Covid but the government are getting it removed from supermarkets and chemists so they can ration it.

Absolute scum. It's true. My wife has had the same warning at her work. What kind of piece of shit would steal from someone working in the NHS so they can make shopping a bit easier? Speaking of which, it's also been said to be more aware if out jogging. Lots of drug addicts rely on shoplifting to fund habits. With that becoming almost impossible they're going to have to target other options. Edited March 27, 2020 by DCJonah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) People are stealing lanyards? Not may steal, but people are stealing lanyards? Edit. I see one report of attempted theft of ID badges from 2 Lewisham doctors. Edited March 27, 2020 by Seat68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 We'll see worse than people stealing NHS lanyards over the coming months I think, far worse. Not to trivialise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, 2 weeks ago (when all this shit seemed quite abstract), a nurse got sacked at my Trust for stealing hand gel and selling them on ebay for £34 a pop. Even nurses and Dr's can be arseholes.

Honestly, I can't emphasise enough that some of the biggest arseholes I've ever known, also use their hands to plug peoples stab wounds in order to fix them.

chrisp65 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I do understand that NHS staff are human and not actually genuine angels, and I do understand that there are horrors out there that would attack anyone in any uniform or in civvies. I know people throw stones at fire personnel and steal from ambulances. All that is a given. But as mentioned up stream, is there actual evidence of an increase in muggings for lanyards in order to get in to Tesco an hour early? That’s the specific thing I really really hope I’m right to be sceptical about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just spoke with my GP and asked him if I would still need to be shielded for 12 weeks if I have had the virus, he said that there is no proof to suggest we can't get it more than once so it would be best for me to self-isolate at home for the 12 weeks. He said there is also the fact that I haven't been tested so can't take that risk that this wasn't the virus although, he says he's pretty certain it is as I have the symptoms. I asked the GP to prescribe me a drug called Relenza. The creator of that drug did so with a pandemic in mind but you can only get it on prescription. The GP said he cannot do that as they do not just prescribe antivirals willy nilly. I asked how people are supposed to get it then and he said it depended on individual circumstances. That sounds dodgy to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
