I'm so sorry Jonsky. Can't imagine losing my wife. They say time is the greatest healer and the years seem to go nuy like a rocket. It is te 26th aniversary of princess Dianas death today. Where have those years gone it seems only yesterday. We're getting old mate. That's the truth of it. Glad you have someone new in your life, I'm sure your first wife would have liked that. |

I know the score both my partner and her daughter are nurses in the NHS. I was reffering to the abundance of staff we could have had manning the knightingail hospitals. There has never ever been one winter for years where the NHS have not been overwhelmed. The trouble with the nightingales was that they didn't have the skilled staff spare in the NHS to staff them. The people like my wife (Retired Neuro radiographer) who volunteered is that there wasn't really anything they could help with. A bit of house to house for elderly people who had contracted Covid but were not hospitalised but spare parts really. But my point was and is zany that there were no experts in the NHS currrent staff of the time so the regular NHS staff and the volunteers would have shared a level playing field. |

My nephew Paul was doing 4 a week. My daughter in law 3 a week. Our consultant friend moved into hospital accommodation and was doing 70 hour weeks. 4 a week / 3 days off and overtime 3 a week/ 4 days off . My heart bleeds . Consultant or registrar? 56 hours a week of the most stressful job in the world. Piece of piss. Consultant. |

Just today in the DM.
Hospital chief was overpaid treble the top rate allowed for her role as she received £105,000 more than she should have in just four months
Gaynor Thomason, 61, was paid the equivalent to a £469,500 annual salary

Working on a ward is the most stressful job in the WORLD? Lol. At least they get a nice long break in between . Consultant working 70 hours a week? How long for? |

And still the so called experts hanker for more of the same. Good luck with that one... Now experts call for more people to get a Covid booster as health bosses pull forward vaccination programme for vulnerable amid fears surrounding Pirola variant - but MPs call for calm and to 'treat it just like a seasonal flu' Health chiefs u-turned again yesterday on the Covid and flu rollout start date UKHSA officials labelled Pirola 'notable' due to its 'high number of mutations' www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12464831/Pharmacies-run-Covid-tests-experts-urge-Brits-test-Pirola-symptoms.html |

Tbh I’ll take any jab that they want to give me .
I’m still pissed off that the NHS invited me to get an early covid jab because I am ‘ vulnerable’ then mugged me off when I turned up expectantly because I wasn’t vulnerable enough .

Covid's definitely back. Several people I know (but am avoiding) have it right now.

Just another respiratory virus now. No better no worse. The latest figures are from the beginning of August and show 76 a week dying of it. Likely worse now. Maybe we are just too flippant about the whole respiratory virus thing |

Maybe we are just too flippant about the whole respiratory virus thing How many died of pneumonia in the same period? Respiratory viruses end the lives of very many at the end of their lives. |

Dunno but I detest avoidable deaths and many Covid deaths are very avoidable. 1 in 3 over 75s did not take up the 2023 booster jab option. Reasons will vary but some will be because they believed the crap some propagate about vaccines
