I was an AED instructor. The fire service use the same defibrillator you’d find on a community centre wall or a supermarket. The instructions are all in pictures or simple steps.

Important - The patient must have CPR during the setting up. Compress the middle of the chest-bone  around 4” or 10 cm. Aim for a speed of 100 compressions per minute.

Find Pad A and stick it on the patient’s chest in the middle of the breast bone.

Find Pad B and stick it on the left side of the patient’s chest under his arm and approximately where the lowest rib is.

Once the pads are applied, the AED will commence analysis of the patient and a synthesised voice will give instructions.

 

One thing, the patient may still die even with AED intervention but they’ll almost certainly die without it.

Super mild version, this was known last week, just a scaremongering tactic by the government to make you get your jabs.  This has again cost travel and hospitality industry, the current restrictions all be it minor need reversing ASAP.

You are on Boris side in this, I’m not. Its clear to me and the doctor at the epicentre that this mutation is a mild version, thats not translating into high deaths and that’s in a country with 24% vaccinated, that suggests that in a country where the vaccine levels are much higher that this won’t cause serious issues. I therefore deduce it’s a scare tactic to try to get folk to get jabbed.

Just a cold

You know what’s sad and scary about that is that the anti vaxxwrs will say that’s some sort of scare tactic. They’ll use it to strengthen their argument. 
Chuck em in the volcano 

[royal white]

Today’s debate.

Me - Why aren’t you having the jab?

Them - I trust my immune system

Me - Will you wear a mask?

Them - no they get a build up of bacteria which then goes back into your body 

Me - but I thought you trust your immune system?

Them - errr errr fuck off you idiot and do some research

Anyone who uses the term 'scare tactic' should be chucked in the volcano.

Casino mentioned another link on the article you posted but you seem to have ignored that. Your article is 2 days old, the one Casino links to is 5 hours implying it's more up to date.

"I therefore deduce" that your PhD in medicine might not be a real one, Herr Doktor.

You can still go to Benidorm luv, calm down.

Christmas do cancelled. That's 20 odd hotel rooms, 20 odd meals and a shit load of drinks not getting bought. 

Scare tactics are working 🎣

The VAT alone on a works do that size is probably a few grand I would think. Multiply that by 100,000 works do's being potted and it's a fair lump of cash.

How does the exchequer losing that money fit in with a scare tactic?

Because I'm not at all sure it does.

I think people read far too much into shit like this because they're bored/boring.

I think our place is still making a decision about the Xmas do. 

Fir my part I'd run it and if you are unsure don't attend. We've got a lot of staff who are flying home to see family in other countries, I can totally get why they don't want unnecessary mixing, some of them haven't seen their folks in over a year. But for those of us who aren't and are comfortable, crack on.

Ha, you get a pass but only because I know your game.

My Xmas do also cancelled.  Great news as I wasn't going anyway, so we'll probably all end up with a voucher or something, so it's a win for me.

I ought to add at this point that Xmas works parties are always, always shit.

[Tonge moor green jacket]

It is possible that both those articles on that link are valid.

However, as has been mentioned before, we and many developed nations have older populations so the direct comparison is dangerous and its perfectly reasonable to have some temporary caution.

If the government were utilising it as a means for more folk to get vaccinated, then why is that wrong?

The only reason to be vaccinated is the existence of the virus itself, and we've been encouraged to get it from the off- the suggestion that it's now some underhand tactic is devoid of common sense.

Moreover, if it wasn't believed to be for the good of the nation, they wouldn't be spending a bloody fortune on free jabs for us all.

As it happens, we've used the whole vaccination programme to good effect and opened up our society so that it is no longer necessary to leave our lockdown areas to go for a meal elsewhere.

Just get the fucking thing, and save the wide rolls of foil for the bastard turkey.

Ours has just been cancelled which makes it more palatable to the bosses that I wasn’t actually going in the first place. Saves me from looking an even bigger unsociable cunt than usual

I've never really understood them. These are people we are forced to spend half of our waking hours with, most of whom we simply wouldn't socialise with under any other circumstances.

I'd say 90% of the ones I've been on have ended up creating more friction than existed previously. I've seen fights, divorces & sackings as a result of the Xmas works do.

I dread it.
