Now someone in the West Country has apparently tested positive for Bird flu ….…. ….is there no end to all this .

I shouldn't worry too much Baz....Bird flu in humans is very rare, and human to human transfer is even rarer

None of them do Velvet ….let’s face it we’ve gone to hell in a hand basket !

Correct Baz. Listen to any phone in from a nurse.

One was in tears. Is that correct for a job? I don't think so

Scientists from Kyoto University have developed a face mask made with ostrich antibodies that glows under ultraviolet light when coronavirus is present.

That would be good …if true .🤣🤣

I remember all those who thought this wasn't happening and it was a flu. It was a laugh. Maguire and Pierce on the Sky paper review. Darren Adam. Matt Stadlen. Lot's of others.



No comment.

I'll admit to thinking it wouldn't turn into anything near what it has done Velvet.

...And I see that despite all that time he spent downplaying the virus, Trump is now berating Republican politicians who won't admit they've had the vaccine - most notably potential rival presidential candidate, DeSantis...

Trump calls politicians who refuse to say they received Covid boosters 'gutless' (nbcnews.com)

I'm calling it now: "cognitive determinism" is going to be my personal "Overused Phrase of the Year" for the 6th year in a row...

I'm a bit confused about NHS medical staff preferring to leave the profession rather than have the COVID jab when i read that having HEP B is mandatory

Staff Screening and Immunisation Policy Policy: HR17

All staff 5 who carry out duties involving direct care with people who use the service or who have contact with blood or body fluids must be vaccinated against Hepatitis B

If a vaccine mandate is already in a job description then a candidate would have no choice, whereas in this case it is being forced upon them post engagement of employment.

Personally I think it is selfish of anyone in a close personal caring sector to refuse it.
I know it can still be caught even when fully vaccinated, but the illness is minimal.

Isn't the principle the same though - it's medically necessary - he understood that for HEP B

Hepatitis B immunisation
30. It is recommended that all healthcare workers, including students who have direct contact with blood, blood-stained body fluids or patients’ tissues, are offered immunisation against hepatitis B and tests to check their response to immunisation, including investigation of non-response. Guidance on immunisation against hepatitis B, which includes information about dosage/protocols and supplies, is contained in chapter 18 of the UK Health Departments’ publication, Immunisation against infectious disease.

That's a fallacy my dear lady. It can be terminal. There are many cases

From what I understood they were not leaving the profession, but being to other jobs away from frontline jobs and direct patient contact. That could be rather tricky though!

Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing

Well that Gray report says it all , eh ….and is it a coincidence that they have chosen today to hint that they are not going to insist on vaccines for nhs staff .

So had Sir Walter Scott:  "Oh what a tangled web we weave/when first we practice to deceive"



That alone was worthy of a monument on Princes Street.

We’re going to hell in a handcart, eh Velvet .
