Interesting - we've still got so much to learn about this. Hopefully we'll get to a point where most particular vulnerabilities are identified soon

Not sure ‘better’ should be associated with ‘death rate’ TBH but interesting comparison https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/03/10/uk-covid-death-rate-compared-rest-world-isnot-bad-feared/ Britain's Covid pandemic death rate is much better than previously thought compared with the rest of...

Yep, exactly why I qualified my comment re sick leave etc…..in my last firm barely a **** was given as half the staff didn’t seem to do any work anyway

It used to be, but no so much in the last 10-15 years in my experience. Spent far more time telling people to go home than come in. with WFH being progressively more routine 1-2 days a week for most anyway in that period it's become far less of an issue (conscious I was lucky enough to be in an...

While you’re waiting, clear your inbox it’s full :lolol::lolol:

Hardly. There’s not really any need to test if there are no specific consequences of testing positive - if you’re ill enough to need a doc or hospital treatment, go and get it, whether it’s covid or anything else. Simple.

Not really IMO - management throughout has all been about not overwhelming the NHS. What we've been doing for several months is allowing the spread within parameters that don't cause that overwhelming.

The infection figures have been decreasing in relevance anyway....it's the admissions to hospital and ICU numbers that are really key (and will be going forward)

Possibly, although I'm interested to see what detail sits behind the decision......................with infections now seemingly falling rapidly (although could question the amount of testing now being done) and admission to, and numbers in hospital falling quite steeply, there has to be some...

Of course I can’t - depends on the vulnerability (and degree of risk) for starters. I imagine more advice will come out over time dependent on various factors. My daughter is slightly vulnerable (degree of immuno-compromise due to a long term condition) but her patients are about as vulnerable...

100%…..just because the legal requirements drop, doesn’t mean that common-sense and decency have to go as well. Expecting to see mask-wearing for a long time yet, even if more sporadic.

I was last week…..so close to making it through…….…..but am in the other camp. As long a the vulnerable are protected (or protecting themselves), I think we need to crack on - me, Mrs D and at least half a dozen pals have had it in the last month or currently have it, none were any more ill than...

Isolation rules likely to be lifted earlier than planned https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60319947

Interesting commentary on Sage/modelling and the effects of lockdown on virus spread https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...policy-failed/ We haven’t heard much from Sir Patrick Vallance recently. A few weeks ago he wrote an article extolling the reliability of Sage modellers. They speak...

Got my post-isolation survey to fill in from Test and Trace

...another article link/extract. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/02/01/covid-really-deadly-flu-omicron-came-along/ Is Covid really more deadly than the flu? It was ... until omicron came along Millions of omicron cases have translated into relatively few deaths, bringing an important...

Denmark the first to go……….we’re not far behind IMO DT article - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/land-covid-now-no-worse-cold/ Extract Welcome to Denmark, where Covid is over – again. Yesterday, the Scandinavian nation became the first country in Europe to put...

It does……also need to take account of the problems this causes for hospitals in terms of keeping covid-positive patients separate. It does give some balance to the overall numbers though.

DT extract The majority of Covid patients in English hospitals are not being treated primarily for the virus, latest figures show. For the first time since the NHS began recording the data, the number of patients being treated “for” Covid has fallen below those “with” Covid. While 13,023...
