Why is it selfish to make a decision to not take something? I know people who won't even take a paracetamol, they just don't like medications. No one should be forced to have anything.

Boris on now

No mention of Peppa Pig so far.

It's just gonna evolve and evolve. It is what it is. Life goes on.

I guess the first category in some way pay for their treatment through the extra taxes they pay. They're also not the ones pushing the health systems of the world beyond their capacity and stopping others from being treated.

Not sure on your point regarding the 2nd category (jobless etc). Not sure anybody has suggested that they shouldn't be treated.

Ultimately those that remain unvaccinated have had the opportunity to be vaccinated and massively reduce their chances of becoming ill with this disease at no cost. By refusing to do so, they are creating problems for the health service and people who need other essential treatment and it will be the same group of people that are clogging up the health service at the same time next year. Basically a group of selfish idiots.

Make the vaccination compulsory or make them pay for their own treatment.

So fat people should pay for treatment as it’s there fault for been overweight or smokers who have cancer

the virus isn’t even that deadly for most people

More encouraging than yesterday’s figures

It is. But no Wales data on Saturdays so always down a bit.

Yep anyone with a brain would know this Flu does it but Covid is 10 times worse and could have long lasting effects on you body! Take the vaccine don’t take the vaccine everyone should be wearing masks inside building and transport!

'Measures'

'Now'

We coped last time. Let's have a bit of that lockdown spirit.

Bang a saucepan in an ambulance workers ear.
Wear a facemask your knees.
Set fire to your garden in solidarity.

Or just have a pointless blazing row with people on the internet and work yourself up into a massive stress. Doctors are forever telling us that stress and conflict helps us combat illness.

Or is it the opposite, stress is bad for you, especially when dealing with illness and uncertinty? I can't remember. Either way.

 

[Healdplace]

Fairly hopeful sign though that Omicron is not yet very active in UK. Yet being the operative word.

 

[Summerbuzz]

Face masks in shops and public transport. Review in 3 weeks.

Once it hits schools, it’ll spread like wildfire.

Weve just got to hope that it’s either not as deadly or that we can adapt our vaccines quickly.

Because if you have the vaccine you are 80% less likley to pass covid on, and much less likley to get ill and take up a hospital bed that could be used by someone with another illness such as cancer. Thats why. It is immensely selfish.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

So should smokers , over weight people not get treatment too

should jobless or people who don’t pay tax and national insurance not get to use it either

Not even the same issue, one of them is a virus that spreads exponetially and might requite treatment within days of getting it and is totally preventable with 2 minute jab.

A smoker will not require hospitalisation for decades.

 

[Corky]

Seems like we are moving quick with the Pi variant been found between Warrington and Chorley.

 

[Healdplace]

Thanks for the info.

No problem but I am taking the chance after yesterday to roll way back on my posts. My heart not in it any more. Though worth adding in Scotland - the only place we get the key hospital data from on Saturdays - patients FELL both day to day and from last week (on 727) and ventilated beds fell 7 day to day and 5 on last week on 53. So there is no upturn here at this very early stage. Boosters still working against the existing strains in reducing hospitalisations despite high case numbers in recent days.

lol

Congrats for making the most irrelvant comparison possible.

Also I don't give a fuck if your mates don't want paracetamol they can suffer through the hangover themselves. Theres dickheads in ICU currently who didn't want a vaccine taking up huge amounts of resources.
