One day traveling London = 3 days in bed (at time of writing) with COVID.
One day for a work event (I masked all day) and I’m on day four. Hopefully just a bad cold and not COVID. Hope you’re doing better soon!
Not mandating masks in healthcare settings seems completely insane.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A notice, photographed and posted on social media last week, tells people that while they are “no longer required to wear a mask in this area”, they should use hand sanitiser “to protect our vulnerable patients, visitors and our staff”.
Despite a collapse in testing, which means the figures will be grossly understated, the number of death certificates giving Covid-19 as a cause has been climbing steadily as autumn approaches, rising from 80 per week in early August to 306 in late September.
From junior doctors to consultants, they’ve been abandoned by the system, unable to get appointments or referrals, left alone to face the loss of their careers and almost every other aspect of their lives.
Long Covid is so debilitating that a study in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) this year found many who suffer it reported a lower quality of life than people with stage 4 lung cancer.
It’s masking the ableism its rhetoric has encouraged: the othering and blaming of those who contract the disease, driven by the widespread but wholly mistaken belief that fit and healthy people don’t catch it.
These facts – and these people – are treated as social embarrassments, locked in the government’s moral attic like a relative with a mental illness in Victorian England.
The original article contains 1,038 words, the summary contains 213 words. Saved 79%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
mild virus.
My ignorant internet friend. 3 million dead people would disagree..
All the science is there. All the evidence that isolating works is there. All the evidence that COVID is killing people, especially the vulnerable, is there. What part of this don’t you get? The only reason COVID is weaker now is precisely because people isolated and let those strains die out.
But because you’re mildly inconvenienced, it’s somehow a massive conspiracy. Stop being a drone and read up on it. Use your head and take things seriously. It’s so exhausting to convince people their ignorance will literally kill people.
Do you also believe the earth is either flat or hollow or that dinosaurs didn’t exist or that giants used to roam the earth? Cos wow this is one of the dumbest threads I’ve ever read.
“The guardian” 😂😂😂
I can’t even bring myself to ask you why they would want to do that and what benefit it gives them because I know the answer is going to be mind-bogglingly stupid.
As much a load of toss now as “project fear” nonsense always is. Do your part and stop whining.
