Head lines today - we must lockdown now to save Christmas

Anyone give a fuck about Diwali or Hanukkah? Or they are an acceptable price to pay so that a load of non religious arseholes can gorge themselves

Rumours we are going full close everything lockdown here

Apologies for google translate but this is what the abortion row was aimed at covering up.

This is the END of the State Medical Rescue system !!!

Health care, called by politicians the health service, no longer exists in Poland!
Dear colleagues, colleagues, acquaintances, less acquaintances and complete strangers …
On behalf of paramedics, I would like to say SORRY! WHILE WE SHOULD NOT SORRY YOU!
We apologize for the fact that we will not help you, for the fact that you will be dying at home because most clinics have turned to you and will ask you to call an ambulance to your sick child or they will do a teleportation by blindly prescribing an antibiotic, and we … And we are not we will come because … Because we are waiting at SOR 3,4,5 or 14 hours! Yes, you hear it right! 14 hours trying to get the patient on the Sor! It is happening in Poland! Right next to you, but tv will not show you! Tv says there are enough beds! Seriously? Where? In hotels? Because not in hospitals! The colleagues working at the HED are also helpless because they have nowhere to hand over patients! There are no places everywhere! It happens that someone dies on the cheese, so … There is one place and then the first ambulance is happy because after a few hours of waiting, it can finally hand over its patient. And the next ones stand, stand, stand … If without protective suits it is still possible to live somehow … You can eat, drink, take care of physiological needs … If you are unlucky and you have a covid + patient or a suspect, you are sitting in this trash with face mask for several hours … Sweaty, hypoxic, stressed … Because we are human too … We are afraid too! Because more and more of our colleagues from work go into quarantine because of positive covid results. And another crew crumbles and another ambulance does not leave … And again you are waiting a long time for our arrival. And again you are nervous with us and you have a grudge … Yesterday … Someone called for help at 9 am, for an ambulance, and we went to him at 24 !!! No, it’s not s-f. This is today’s reality … The protection system in Poland DIE!
We have talked about it many times that it will come to this, but no one listened to us. They said let them go! Some went … We were not respected and still are not being respected. The rulers have a lot of us …! We, the potential patients, don’t have you where they do, but … We can’t do anything about it. And they keep saying it’s good … It’s not good! I announce the end of the STATE MEDICAL RESCUE system!

In the photos - Hospital in Legnica today … 13 waiting ambulances. Do you already know why you are waiting for us a long time?
I wish you all a lot of health and immunity!
Because we lifeguards are fed up!

Grim…stay safe mate. :frowning:

Oooops…

Xmas lockdown for the UK?

Maybe maybe not…Dr John Campbell again…

I don’t think I’ve misunderstood but he’s adding % increases on top of the previous weeks increases on top of the previous weeks increases. Regardless of the lowering of the percentage increases, that’s a fuck of a lot of new cases…

Yes but what he’s saying is the rate of increase in infections is slowing and if the restrictions put in place are working we should see a peak before the end of November.

But a bloody high peak - even if the rate of infection slows down the rate of infection in terms of numbers infected is still going to be bloody high - albeit reducing - slowly.

Am I genuinely missing something here, because I don’t see a good news story?

Sorry, found out that an old colleague died of Covid a few days ago. :frowning:

Yep difficult to put a positive spin on statistics when you’re faced with the real outcome of these ā€œnumbersā€ :unamused:

And in the midst of this, multiple stories that after 6 months you have no antibodies left and herd immunity is a pipe dream

I saw an article about that and thought, well, that’s like getting a cold or flu, you’re going to get it and/or something like it again, and again, and again.

Are these vaccines in development really going to give immunity?

The French are better off indoors if the year and a bit of getting whacked by Macron’s stormtroopers every weekend.
