Yeah I get that and it's a horrible situation but it would be even worse if the virus got even more out of hand. I've read that a major cause of this is people are scared to seek help because of the virus. It's just another example of our governments failings IMO, all Covid-19 patients should have been placed in their own hospitals if possible. Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 The last time I checked covid was number 20 in the list of causes of death in the uk. So there are 19 things more likely to kill you than covid. So why is it the number 1 panic station. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

You can see now that the NHS is struggling, declaring open season would not help those cancer sufferers struggling for treatment or a diagnosis, it would make their situation even more dire.

socks 32,253 Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 But you can’t just ignore all other treatments because of one virus that has a massive recovery rate. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They are pissing with the dick they've got. They are likely making a pigs ear of things but just imagine how worse it would be if stopped all measures. It's not just a case of you survive and that's it. All those that have been admitted to hospitals will still need treating, still need beds, nurses, etc... This is why it's having a knock on effect, we haven't been prepared for this virus and it's clearly showing IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,845 Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Our kid says Wigan only had 8 on icu the other day yet news says they are struggling. I told him that I heard Bolton icu was full to bursting....he said last winter before the pandemic it was full plus extra icu beds being set up elsewhere due to seasonal flu. I don't know the answer. Head down keep grafting, claim nowt, pay em as little as possible Edited January 29, 2021 by DIDO.1 Link to post Share on other sites

You can potentially get side effects from any sort of medication. The rewards of the vaccine far outweigh the risks, it's a no brainer for someone his age IMO. I think it's not a matter of if you catch the virus, but a matter of when. Why take that chance, you should try your best to get the odds stacked in your favour just incase. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

The same can be said of those who don't want it. At the end of the day you have two choices once offered it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
