She should be apologising making another dreadful decision. What an idiot.
 
Only ever had the flu once, January 2015. 3 weeks of my life I will never forget. That old saying about “if there was a fifty on the floor you couldn’t be bothered to pick it up” was scarily true. Could hardly move, I’m surprised I didn’t get a bed sore.
I remember having the tv remote next to me on the bed and having to try to muster the energy to move my hand about 6 inches to press the “on” button, and couldn’t do it.

I remember when I last had the flu I woke up at about 3am, nudged my at the time missus and just slurred 'I'm gonna sweat,' and then literally a couple of seconds later every pore on my body began just pouring sweat out. I don't think i'd ever felt so ill.

She slept on the sofa after that, had to change the sheets, flip the mattress in the morning. Poor girl.
 
Problem is like Boris and Drakeford , she is a lying twat.
Nope, she may be wrong,people might disagree with her but unlike Boris, who can't stop lying she is pretty straight with us, can't speak for Drakeford I don't live there

I'll get this post banished to the politics thread for saying so, but she's a deluded half-wit whose only strategy is to just do the opposite of what Westminster does, regardless of whether it's the right decision or not.
 
I know you’ve all been really excited when I’ve reported about walking my dog next to the covid test centre here in Rammy….

I can though confirm, via my own walks in last few days & also through chatting with the staff, that the queues have disappeared and it’s just back to the odd few people popping down for a test now.
Rammy reports from the front line, far more accurate than Sage modelling ;)
 
Mancheser hospitals have just reported that the situation declared last week as becoming critical has eased this week. Patient numbers not rapidly escalating. ICUs not being stretched. And staff levels are back up after many off last week due to having Covid or isolating.

Morecambe area that last week declared critical status has stepped that down today too,

Suggests the falling numbers are real and not just fewer test related. Though that has not been very evident in the daily test numbers anyway.

got my operation yesterday in this Trust, they had kept one hospital as a covid free hospital, all patients to other ones. The staff were saying that staff absences were number one cause of consternation, with covid patients also causing pressure on ward availability. The shared view was that things are starting ever so slightly to look up.

You could always cut out the middleman and go direct to the politics thread.

Much of the bile about Sturgeon seems to me to be related to sad, poorly endowed men who can't cope with the idea of a woman being in charge.
 
France will announce a record of more than 350,000 new COVID cases in the latest 24-hour period, Health Minister Olivier Veran has said.
 
I think the best description i've heard is. "Ask them if they would have gotton out of bed to get a suitcase full of money that was at the end of the path". if they say sod it, I wanna stay in bed, its Flu.

My mum has always said pretty much the exact same thing.

Without wanting to turn this into the Jaws scene about scars.....Flu? Try chronic bronchitis. Bloody hell. That was grim.
 
This is the type of the data we should be using to get people to get themselves vaccinated. Not threats or coercion, not “you‘ll lose your job or you’ll kill your granny”, but real information like this.

That will work for some but some vaccine refuseniks are well past point of being able to be nudged.
 
Posted the full data and graph on the data page but one interesting stat worth reporting here from Northerm Ireland.

I compared the % of people on 11 Jan 2021 and 11 Jan 2022 in Northern Ireland by age range who tested positive in the past week.

The over 80s then were 6% of all the cases - hence the high hospital, icu and death rates. Today it is 1.3%

And the over 60s then were 22% of all the cases - and today are 9.3%

This shows very quickly how the vaccines have worked.
