Hes ok, and is back home with crutches and will milk it to death. Was in and out in less than an hour. A&E had 3 patients in the adult section and just my lad in the children’s part. The nurse described it as a bizarre day. Seen barely anyone all day. Then told me they were turning the kids A&E section into a spare ward for Covid patients, of which there are still a lot. Its creepy down there. Weird. Every hospital is different I expect. The missus works in ED (not Bolton) and they are stupid busy. Staff shortages and obviously having to split the dept with covid/non covid patients means they are really struggling. Add in the fact that there are hundreds of covid positive patients taking up beds means they can't shift folk up to the wards as quick as they would like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ani 1,152 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Clear in all latest comms from Govt that they will have offered 12.9 m vaccines by mid Feb. Rather than delivered. Nothing they can do about people not attending. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its creepy down there. Weird. Will be used as a separate holding area no doubt. Red chairs are for covid and chest issues .. blue for non covid.. so if you have breathing issues you need to sit with covid patients.. So hardly ideal.. Might have been quiet but there are 2 double doors to the main emergency part and reckon it will have been manic in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Escobarp 1,448 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Didn’t expect that to show we have a huge problem. Glad you posted it 🙄 still not sure what comparisons are achieving but upto individual preference. And if folk are ,as the post says , congratulating the vaccination effort and comparing it to others then they have no come back against it really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are supposed medical professionals posting graphs with commentary to say this shows we don’t have a problem and it’s usual for this time of year etc and it’s a hoax. If folk still think we’ve no problem now then I hope that the government administer lethal injections masquerading as vaccines to them. Wishful thinking though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wiggy 63 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Hundreds of fans gathering to see arrival of marine and Spurs players. No social distancing and only the odd mask. Lots of police stood watching. No idea why they didn’t just move them along when they started gathering. Complete shit show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
