Of course not. I wasn't really being serious. However, I do genuinely loathe both the club and its fanbase. Hope that clarifies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is not just one of the most bigoted institutions in Scottish football, but they’re one of the biggest poisons on Scottish society period. I will forever regret that Scottish football didn’t take the opportunity to consign them to the rubbish bin in 2012. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestWorthing Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 8 hours ago, Rex2 said: It's a non starter this argument. People were discharged from hospitals in open spaces where people are clinically vulnerable back into care homes where they can isolate, and where people aren't extremely unwell. If anything more funding should have been chucked at ensuring safety in care homes rather than increased testing capacity You can't isolate in a care home. It's a poorly ventilated building full of extremely vulnerable people sharing care staff. One case of covid in a care home will go through like wildfire, infect and kill many people. There is no way people should have been released from hospitals where it was rife into care homes without testing negative. It is an absolute national scandal if Hancock knew untested people were being sent from hospital into care homes, if he lied about it he should be facing criminal sanctions. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balti-pie Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 if you don't clear beds in hospitals though, there's nowhere for sick people to be admitted to. It's great to say that nobody should be discharged into care homes until tests have been undertaken, but in the early days of COVID it was a huge problem getting swabs, and getting the results could be a couple of days in coming back. that could be a three day delay, on someone who isnt presenting with any symptoms, on a bed that at a conservative estimate would be filled within ten minutes, probably five times over. working under pressure like that is basically impossible. In no way am i defending Mancock here btw, i'm defending the ward staff who are supposed to craft a properly organised silk purse out of the cow's arsehole they hand us. (ok, i work in hospital discharges in Mental Health, but i'm trying to balance the debate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t for one second believe it was a deliberate or malicious act, rather one of incompetence and lack of oversight into what they were doing, in purely being focussed on freeing hospital beds. Which is why we require a much more capable bunch of people in the top roles of running the country. Edited May 28, 2021 by st dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't overstate the seriousness of putting someone with covid into a care home, it's a death sentence, multiple times over. Put them in a nightingale, put them in a hotel, put them in 10 downing street, I don't care where, you can't send people who possibly have covid into a care home. My understanding is that this did happen though, and many people will have died unnecessarily as a result of this choice. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully just a small rise like we’ve seen at all stages and then a dip as more people get the jab I don't have the graph but pretty sure i've seen something showing that Israel did have a blip upon opening up at some point on their unlocking. We're vaccinating at good speed now in fact even in Bristol they're ramping it up massively. So much so I had a text earlier regarding my vaccination tomorrow asking me to use a free shuttle bus service from the local park and ride because they're expecting to be so busy they won't have enough parking...

hodgey123 Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Think there is going to be a delay to 21 June. I disagree with it, but not overly bothered for the sake of a small delay, as long as there is no roll back of 17 May relaxations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly but I don't know where to find it. Below is the actual number in hospital which isn't rising massively and remains at a stable level so whilst admissions may on the face of it look a tad scary we need to remember that there will also be people leaving hospital...
