One chap at work looks after his Mam, she has no one else so he’s been extra careful.
 

He was treating a player for a slight strain asked him what he’s been up too said nothing much staying in. On one of the tests the reported positive. 
Did the tracing with him and has since come to light that he seems to have got it from the player who had broken Covid laws. 
 

His Mam has now had to get homecare because he can’t see her, luckily she tested negative but she’s not in the best health so it’s lucky.

I got told to WFH, had my laptop and equipment sent in to me. Did my tests as per usual and I was found positive, it seems like it has come from the same player, my Mrs is a month away from dropping our second kid, so I’ve not seen her (result) or my daughter in over a week so they don’t get it, and every time my phone goes I think our Maude is going to go intO labour and I’ll miss it.

Lets put it this way if I had millions in the bank and played football for a living and the only thing the gaffer asked of me was to stay the fuck at home, I wouldn’t think twice.
There are some selfish individuals who are now not giving a fuck about the implications it has on regular folk and it absolutely stinks. 
The audacious argument that footballers should get the vaccine first to take the pressure off the NHS makes me feel absolutely sick. 
If I hadn’t got a big contract and a legal obligation to stay I think i would be looking at leaving. I’ve told my bosses this and they’ve reassured me that they don’t take it lightly and there are one or two who will shown the door in the summer and it won’t be because of their performances on the pitch. 
 

what do you do ??

I was in a bad way the past two days but today I’ve kicked it’s cunt in. 

Don't get too giddy yet mate, when I had it, it came in waves, so a few bad days, then felt OK, then back to grim again for a few more. I'd still take it easy and keep your fluids up for a day or two more before you go back to your usual three hour Fistmaster sessions

Thats his hobby not his job. 

Well I’ve just had to take my lad to A&E for a suspected fractured ankle (home footballing accident the daft shite).

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.

When you WFH do you put the cones out in your back garden?

I've seen a few people on social media saying they're going visiting parents this weekend now that the parents have had their first jab.

Still fucking wrong, dickheads.

My 99 yr old nan (god bless her) gets her second dose today, but I'll still be staying away.

Indeed

She might be transmitting, we don’t know yet

NHS visited the Reebok on NYE to consider using it for vaccines. No decision given as yet.

Quite a story, I'm just surprised there isn't more uproar from fans about this.

Good to hear that there will be further repercussions. Itd be good if it was also done in public and not behind the scenes to show people that no one is above this.

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.

No I’m not. However you might be the exception. 😂

Covid avoids folk using common sense in the same way it avoids pubs

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.

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. 

 

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.

To demonstrate to the obtuse, deliberate or otherwise, that we have a big problem on our hands 

10 months in and some still refuse to accept it
