someone had bongos out this time round us.
WTF..???? ????someone had bongos out this time round us.
No, I don't clap.
I'd far rather the government taxed me more and funded the NHS properly. There's something utterly selfish in our ignoring NHS workers for decades - but now we are scared we might die of Coronavirus, we suddenly want to smarm to them. Not in any practical way - but clapping makes us feel good - we are all in this together - you all have to look after MEEEEEE.
Same with the scientists - for years we have been vilifying experts, and placing much greater emphasis on the (often emotive) and ignorant views of people who happen to be affected by whatever the scientific controversy might be. But now - suddenly - we can't get enough of them.
Gah, I hate people.
Sorry, I think you triggered a rant!
Didnt want to like your post but Im so sorry about your mum.I have complete respect for those amongst us who walk towards the danger the rest of us run from. The wonderful NHS frontline people who have risked their health for us are incredible and to be honest a clap just isn't' good enough. They deserver decent pay and a very good pension.
For the first time tonight I could not bring myself to clap... my mother is 63 and currently in heart failure with ulcers on her body and in so much pain I literally weep through every call. She has been waiting since 9am on Tuesday for a GP visit and/or a district nurse visit, neither have turned up. She's at serious risk of sepsis and the NHS have let her down. I completely understand that there is immense pressure on services at the moment, however the people I've spoken to just seem to think it's ok to leave somebody in incredible pain and risking their lives and suggest its selfish to expect even basic care without a covid diagnosis. They're busy with covid patients therefore others can wait and suffer as a result. I suspect there will be many people who loose their lives because of covid who never actually have the illness.
My daughter is a nurse, worked in ITU at the start of this and now has gone back to her normal job. She is absolutely scathing about the lack of appointments in her area, and think CV has become just an excuse for some. Yes putting on PPE and taking it off takes longer and in some areas they are still having trouble getting it, but not being seen is not good enough. I would ring 111, you can do this at anytime, there is an out of hours service than covers evenings and overnight, a doctor or a nurse can still come out. If her wee output drops and she starts feeling unwell, if having the pain wasn't bad enough, please ring 999. Be warned they no longer carry stock drugs so start looking for a pharmacy that's open now and who can get any drugs for her.I have complete respect for those amongst us who walk towards the danger the rest of us run from.

Nope no clap from us. My other half is in the military, where’s his clap for being separated from his family, sometimes in awful conditions?

But you are allowed to go to the beach now? You just need to try and maintain 2m distancing outside your family group. I went to the beach on Tuesday and it really wasn't hard to stay a sensible distance away from other people.The thing that gets me the most is how many of those people out clapping last night spent the day on a busy beach?
.
Sorry I was quite vague, I’m talking about the photos of people on the beach that very clearly are not 2m apart. There’s then also the photos of cars parked on double yellows, the litter left etc.But you are allowed to go to the beach now?
