So we've got SAGE saying tier 5 is a 100% must , but Gove has just come out saying he is "confident schools will remain open" What a mess.
I nearly didn’t go at all, only on the knowledge that I’m **** and wouldn’t be near anybody else all morning.
Russia has admitted that their death toll is more than 3x what they had previously claimed...it's likely even higher. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...third-worst-covid-19-death-toll-underreported When the number-crunchers sit down and figure out a more accurate worldwide death toll, it's going to be truly staggering. Probably at least 1 in every 1000 people across the globe. Could well end up higher.
A Southampton General Hospital consultant is being quoted as saying “a scary situation with wards overfilled with Covid 19 patients”. The Echo has also recently reported a big increase in Covid cases across Hampshire, so time to batten down the hatches even further. Stay safe everyone.
I live in a 28 flat block, for the more mature people old gits aged 55+, that has on-site carers for those that require support. Hopefully they will be on top of their game as someone in the building (don’t know if resident or staff) has tested positive for Covid-19. Myself and Mrs Badger are self sufficient and have no regular interaction with the staff, and have been pretty much self isolating for 9 months given her health issues, so we expect to be okay. Just hope it doesn’t spread throughout the residents who, other than myself and my wife, are all around 75 and older. We are the babies in the block. The building did lose one resident during the first lockdown, due to Covid so the management team should be au fait with how to deal with this.
https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/18974371.staff-sainsburys-bitterne-test-positive-coronavirus/ Might be one to avoid for a while.. Allegedly 5 infected 21 self isolating I am hearing from someone who works there. Not wishing to spread gossip though as I recognise that is effectively word of mouth.
A care home worker in Germany, who was among a group of people given an overdose of the BioNTech-Pfizer coronavirus vaccine on Sunday, remains in hospital. Eight people received five times the recommended dose. Three other workers who were checked over in hospital after developing flu-like symptoms are now back at home. "One lady is currently being looked after as an inpatient," said a spokeswoman for the northern district of Vorpommern-Rugen. No further details were given about her condition.
This is not good. I put a comment on here, a few days ago, about how the Pfizer vaccine must be diluted with a saline solution and a clinician needed to work alongside the person administering the vaccine to measure out and mix the right dosages. Maybe that wasn’t done correctly? Hopefully the Oxford vaccine will get clearance in the next week or so and speed the inoculation process up.
Yes just what we need. Some kind of 'proof' for the antivax idiots to get behind. The whole lot of them need shooting, not encouraging.
