We jab kids with smack to make them addicts - like when 'Popeye' Doyle gets kidnapped in The French Connection II and is involuntarily made into a junkie.

However, I think that those at the real sharp end who witness covid patients dying and struggling for life perhaps have a greater mental load on them. Purely human nature, and just like soldiers or firemen etc that witness similar horrors, are more likely to suffer from ptsd etc. Few months ago, I chatted to an icu nurse who works at Chorley- she said few if any of her colleagues were suffering with such mental difficulties, whereas another I know of at Bolton has suffered personally, and for a good while wouldn't go out into society at large unless absolutely necessary. Folk manage differently, but no doubt some of them are running on fumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 It isn't but the NHS is trying to save lives, day in, day out. Yes, the entertainment industry has been decimated, with thousands struggling. Most don't care as they see it as a load of moaning foppish theps which illicit very little sympathy (despite people spending most of their free time watching them on TV) but in actuality its not just actors but the tech crews (a lot who are freelance) set builders, designers etc whose living is up in smoke. Scotland and Wales reaction to covid cost thousands to the industry. It was stupid. So, I do get your point about other people suffering but I'm not having to deal with folk in ICUs, backlog of ops, not getting through the day to day needs of people. But again, I'm.earning more than I ever have, drowning in work and new clients. The pandemic has been a massive game changer for me, and at the moment for the better but I had that opportunity, nurses and NHS staff don't and they have to save lives rather than sell tickets. They have my full sympathy, and understanding this isn't at the exclusion that others are having a hard time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's sent everybody home today for the rest of the week, as he has too many "critical" parts of his operation missing, so it's not worth anybody being there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Depends on how workplaces are going about paying/not paying people who are isolating but it also makes it easier for folk to take the piss if they are that way inclined.

Guest Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 16 hours ago, Tonge moor green jacket said: Kids do get sick though and the vaccines do provide some protection. Not massive, but a help nonetheless. For a small number of children, immediate post viral issues and longer term syndromes do occur. I have a niece who was quite badly affected in the early stages of the pandemic. Dizziness, breathing difficulties amongst other things. Strangely, these disappeared once she was vaccinated! I'm not sure how much information is available specifically on infection rates amongst kids that are and are not vaccinated. Information for the whole shows a fairly strong benefit in terms of reduced infection of others. Study information will be out there for perusal. Anything that helps reduce continuous infection of others, is worthwhile. Especially if it reduces time lost studying, or reduced risk of infecting grandma. We are behind many other countries on vaccinating kids, and have taken time over it. The mhra initially has to authorise the drug's use, and then the jcvi decide which groups etc. They only make a clinical decision though, and by their own admission do not consider educational requirements when making their decisions. Given the widespread vaccination of kids worldwide, I'm happy that it's of benefit to society. Why not jab kids under 12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i do find a disgrace is the fact that she’s frontline NHS and comes into close contact with dozens of folk on a daily basis, yet she won’t get paid one fucking penny for being off sick with Covid this week. Love the NHS Boris? Yeh right - Cunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
