strategy,.....Pl5hing in the wind. job done

I disengage, I turn the page.

The bad weather too. Hospitals break down every winter. Perhaps we had all forgotten. The services were overstretched well before Covid 19. That's what we should be concentrating on. Covid 19 actually has given us an opportunity to improve our infrastructure - one that we won't take. Next pandemic, just roll the dice if you're vulnerable. Check your health insurance.

Red and Blue Army!

I mean this in a positive way.

Ambulance staff are required to stay with their patients until the hospital accepts them. This is often 2 of their staff to 1 patient and for certain critical patients that makes sense, they can't just wander off to the next case.

However if the hospitals could organise it to release the ambulance staff for the non critical cases that would help the ambulance service. Maybe have a pool of nursing staff looking after a pool of patients.

My elderly neighbour had a bad fall it turned out she only needed stitches but the 2 very helpful ambulance staff had to wait with her for hours until she was admitted.

1.5 million vaccinated now I believe, lets hope they can ramp it up - and that mutations that can completely evade its effectiveness don't tend to get a foothold until several months to a year plus. If it's faster than that, then it's all pretty futile.

But for now, considering what a bag of sh!te the death toll and shut highstreet is, let's hope it makes a significant difference.

I’ve spoken to quite a few who’ve had it or people who know people who have but I don’t personally know anyone who has had it. Not one. No doubt partly where you live and who lives around you and near you.
