It has to be a rational choice.
Infection rates locally are very low, I take all the precautions
I value my trips out,.
I am not an idiot and do not see why I should self isolate unless and until local infection rates are much higher.
Exactly that Swimmy, we dont need to be locked away in isolation
as was suggested on TV this morning, and nor is it possible?
It was suggested that the numbers of so called vulnerable people
are far to many to be protected? But surely the majority of us in
this group are quite able to protect ourselves in our own homes and
dont require any help or special measures to survive, only the really
debilitated people will need special measures, and l suppose we
must know how many of these there actually are from NHS records?
Then we will know whether we can cope with the numbers or not?
I have seen no mention of bringing the nightingale hospitals into
action anywhere, WHY??
If the reason is lack of staff then it begs the question of why they
were assembled in the first place??
Maybe to use as morgues??
As regards staffing them, could not the military medics be drafted in
as a temporary measure??
I think that these nightingales could then be used to treat all the
serious cases of covid , thus leaving NHS hospitals free for normal
hospital work, at the same time avoiding any cross contamination
between the two systems??
I think something like this has a deal of merit instead of the party
political conflict that has started to appear now with the northern
Labour mayors combining to thwart anything that government
proposes??
Donkeyman! 👎👎😟😟👎
