The UK could close its borders to stop it's spreading here. I'll await the announcement on the BBC news.


Tractor parts. Car parts. Food stuffs ....
Do they need to be hand delivered or something?
I thought the science was saying it was more an airborne virus and didn't last on surfaces. Were the BBC talking shite again or has there been a new discovery?

Lorry drivers?

Yes, they are, but the variant is worse than delta
It's a variant of interest, not concern.

I think that was my point. How you gunna get the stuff you need without letting In lorry drivers?
But what's more important? People getting what they want or others dying. Bit of a moral dilemma there for you. A couple of people who don't want the vaccine may die so surely the country should be closed down to stop the arrival of this devastating lambda strain.

I think we live on different planets 🧐
I must admit, I think I might of liked living in the 1600’s but I can’t make that happen.

Interesting to note, without being overly specific, the age range of our positive inpatients has shifted a fair bit. Locally it is close to 60% "over 50" and 40% "under 40".
77 inpatients.
15 on mechanical ventilation

Deaths are now relatively rare occurrences just the odd one or two so a much lower percentage.

On the bright side I`m isolating having had a PCR yesterday ahead of surgery on Friday.
Took a late cancellation appointment as the consultant has a waiting list of 1,500. :oops:

Sometimes being "in the job" has some perks, it`ll get me put on a "sickness target" but it's a small price to pay. :)

Be serious. Anyone who goes to a pub, unvaccinated, clearly isn't too bothered about catching the virus. Otherwise they would be taking steps to stay out of the same airspace as potential carriers. Vaccination is like wearing a seatbelt. It isn't claimed to be perfect, but it saves lives and reduces poor outcomes. Apart from not getting in a car, it's the single best thing you can do as a passenger in a car in regard to your life and health. You wouldn't suggest that other cars stay off the road, just to make the road safe for non-sealtbelt-wearing road users, would you?




Quite right. Lead the horse to water (vaccination), and hope that it drinks voluntarily. If people refuse that medical help, well, who's responsibility is it if they die or suffer long covid?

Who has to pay for the side effects of vaccinations that have been untested? I certainly am not.
