Paid Members waters44 Posted April 27, 2022 Paid Members Posted April 27, 2022 Had a letter through today about getting my five year old vaccinated. Are you going to get your young’uns jabbed? I’m in two minds about it Quote
69MeDon Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 I hadn't realised that Covid deaths had crept up quite so much. 682 deaths on the 21st. 482 yesterday. I suppose this is a byproduct of "living with Covid", but the fact we are seeing these numbers even in spring is maybe a little concerning? Quote

What’s more concerning for me is how it’s hardly been reported. We haven’t heard from Whitty et al in fucking ages. Quote

King of Hamptons Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 I finally got covid 2 weeks ago, I felt rough for a few days but tested negative so carried on at work, I then tested 2 days later after not feeling any better and as soon as my sample touched the test it went red, phoned my boss to tell him I wouldn't be in until I tested negative, after 6 days I finally did, the staff meeting we had on the first day back, the head boss told us all, "if you test posative and feel fine you should come in and work" At that Point there were 7 people off with it.. Profits before people.. Quote
simonworden Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 I can't understand how it is such a hard concept for managers to understand that someone who has a sickness where they feel like white will make them unproductive and if made to work feel demotivated and less likely to value their job in the future. Someone who gets to stay home and feels supported on this will value their job more. Do managers just get cloned into their position as I can't understand how anyone who has ever gone to work sick wouldn't get this concept in 2021 Quote
The King Of Swing Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 My employer has also gone down the "come in even if you test positive" road. Any pretence of giving a shit about employee health has gone completely out the window. Quote

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 18, 2022 Paid Members Posted June 18, 2022 Got a notification on the app this morning that I may have been exposed to Covid on Wednesday night (Beck gig). Got home, did 3 tests. The first 2 didn't even work, so Mrs Jazzy & I found another box and pretty much as soon as I put the sample in it gave me a positive result. I've emailed work, called any family members I've been around since then to let them know. I just feel like I've got a really bad cold. Bit of a sore throat, runny nose and a headache. Nothing plenty of water and paracetamol won't help me deal with. The app gave me some thing about 6 days? Is that how long I have to isolate? Wear a mask? Quote

If you can't stay home, take extra care, eg wear a mask indoors, avoid public transport if possible, don't go to crowded indoor events.) Avoid contact with anybody who's particularly vulnerable to COVID. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 19, 2022 Paid Members Posted June 19, 2022 Pardon my getting a little bit "tinfoil hat" here, but I got a text last night after I'd registered my positive result asking if I wanted to go ahead and trial a Covid medication they're working on. I had a look at the criteria, and it only seems to be aimed at testing these drugs on people who fall into the "vulnerable" category, which has made me a little reluctant to go ahead. I class as vulnerable because of my diabetes, but am just curious why they're not testing these meds on "regular" people with Covid as well. Quote

At a guess, they’ve already been tested on regular folk and so need to extend the trial. Less likely, these are being made solely for those classed as vulnerable. Quote
