Renton 21627 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 10 minutes ago, Tom said: Is this to do with power of attorney or are they just not letting people in hospitals? My uncle (89 y/o) was in for a few weeks a month or so back and we weren’t allowed in either. Nowt to do with PoA, just the regulations of Northumbria Trust. The home he's going to is treated as a ward because its intermediate care. Not sure why I can't see him outside if/when he is more mobile like (weather aside obviously). I think each trust will have its own policies and might be different for less vulnerable groups than geriatrics. In a way it saves me some emotional pain because judging by him on the phone his cognitive function is in terminal decline, but it must be a nightmare for him and my Mum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its absolutely crazy. You could sort of understand 1 or 2 but 45,000 is gross incompetence . Edited October 15, 2021 by trooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44896 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Fuck me, I wish I was the person these helmets were handing this shit over to. Fucking turning up in his tracksuit ffs. That lass should have been dropping those envelopes in the bin as quickly as he was putting them in her hand. My favourite was one of the cripples they had with them mumbling "... well legally you do..." when the chief mong told her that she had to take the envelopes into her hand. No way this shit happens in a world without Facebook btw. I hope Zuckerberg gets arse cancer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Government has so far resisted growing pressure to revert to winter 'Plan B' and bring back masks and WFH But there are fears hospital rates could rise with just 4m out of the 8.7m eligible patients in England boosted Symptom-tracking study today estimated there are 82,000 infections in UK per day - double official number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4386 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I arrived in Cyprus earlier and its good to see somewhere still taking it seriously - you couldn't even get off the walkway from the plane without showing the flight pass document which has your covid status. They have an immigration security thing just before passport control where a machine scans your passport and takes a photo which you obviously take your mask off for but 3 metres later the bloke at actual passport control reminded me to put my mask back on. All this time in the UK, I haven't seen a single person's mask wearing questioned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44896 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I forgot my mask today when I went to the shop. I felt like a proper daft tramp walking around without it on. Rare treat for the ladies though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I was in Amsterdam last week and just like NI it was pretty much masks everywhere but what really liked was the covid passport needed for most things. Going into a bar, restaurant or attraction it was a quick check and off you go. Of course I have an EU covid passport so it was a piece of piss but I dunno if it recognises your blue QR codes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35093 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 This plan b, which hardly constitutes a plan. Just how shitty do things need to get before it’s implemented? It’s just asking people to wear masks and work from home isn’t it? There was no need to end the mandatory wearing of masks in public places anyway (except to appease morons). And like NJS alludes to, even when it was mandatory no one challenged it anyway. Rising cases, rising hospitalisations and 150-200 deaths a day and we’re not even into winter yet. You’d think any measures, even more lockdowns, would be relatively ineffective now anyway because of the inevitable lack of compliance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44896 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 He's gonna do the same as he's done every time before. Wait until it's way out of control then hold a bumbling press conference to announce plan b. Of course if there'd been a public inquiry, he might not find it so easy to keep doing the same stupid shit over and over again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42458 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Good luck getting the morons to wear masks again- I went in to a shop yesterday and was one only two wearing one, out of about 20 customers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42458 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Ffs. Both Miss Fistlet and Knacker Fist have had positive tests, so have to self isolate. Which likely means Mrs.F and I will catch the fucking thing. Arsebiscuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 My mates lass got it last week and somehow he’s survived without catching it so far. Could just be an excuse to make him kip on the couch like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Yeah I've heard of a few people in the same households as those who have it somehow avoiding catching it too. Just be as careful as you can be I guess. Force them to live in the shed for a while, as long as you agree to pay for therapy afterwards? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
