Well public sector pensions have got worse. But it depends how you look at it. Its not to me about putting a nurse over a factory worker or over a cashier or anything else - it is about better valuing people's contributions to society. Lets not be crazy here - we're simply talking about making sure (and this hasn't been happening) that people in general are properly valued for what they do. Because this has made it abundantly clear that there is no trickle down. The theory of trickle down economics is completely debunked. So lets force the trickle - just a bit. Quote

radcliffe white Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 So it’s always a day behind so 393 up to 5pm on Monday? Quote
1969 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Yes original figures hospital deaths only These figures include all deaths connected to cv Edited March 31, 2020 by 1969 Quote
Casino Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 As somebody said yesterday, does that mean all home deaths are having a post mortem? Quote
Escobarp Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Friends of mine have a young daughter with cystic fibrosis. Just received the letter from nhs today saying the clock on 3 months stay at home starts from today. So the poor wee girl can’t leave the house for another 3 months. She’s been inside for 3 weeks anyway already. My heart bleeds for the wee lady such a shame suspect folk on here with vulnerable relatives will be getting that letter today as well. Tough times indeed and I’m Moaning about a few weeks Quote

Tough times indeed and I’m Moaning about a few weeks MY wife had is last week. Offering loads of help, which we aren't taking them up on, (there are others more needy). It's meant that she can no return to work full time after her illness, as the Government have told her to self isolate. It's also a minimum of 12 weeks. It may get extended. Quote

Yes it was just saying that 3 months starts today for them. I think they were clinging onto the fact they had done 3 weeks already and now it’s another 3 months. Scunnered they are Quote
