Corona Virus Treatment

I'm still waiting for a text from my Surgery. I had to remind them before I had my second Vaccine.

 

It appears to me that the GP's are still working from home, plus are the receptionists are getting a bonus each time they are rude to a patient.

 

@john558 we have the same problem here. The hats are trying to tell the docs to get off their computer and see people in person and the docs are ignoring them.

Perhaps getting paid for virtual visits should receive a little less compensation than the real deal?

@wiseowl we've got an abundance of flu shots here and I'm thinking supply is high because the demand is low due to the fact we still have to mask in all indoor settings except when pushing food into our maws. The masks and hand washing seemed to have pretty much stopped the flu last year compared to previous years. So it makes sense that if we still have to mask up, then why get a shot for "this year's" strain of flu?

 

Parents had the booster jab 3 weeks ago, they both had the flu jab today. My Mrs had both yesterday, my daughter (17) is booked in on Saturday for her second Pfizer jab, As for me, I am booked in to see the nurse at our local GP for my booster and flu jabs, plus my yearly medical check up on Monday.

Had no issue seeing a GP at our local practise, my dad even had his 6 monthly check up at the dentist yesterday.

 

I think the one thing that has come out of all this is that the NHS don't have enough ICU beds for the areas that they cover.
Its just ridiculous.

 

Just talking to a mate and he said the problem is that the Pfizer jab is being used for boosters.

With all the handling problems, ie low temperatures, it's not easily handled at small places with a comparatively few people to jab.

 

Our first two jabs here were Astra Zeneca but we've had no word about the booster as yet, so don't know what it will be.

Flu jabs are under way. Mr S had his the week before last but I don't have it.

 

Ha ha, surprise surprise, they appear to have come up with a new variant just in time for winter.

Delta plus did I hear correctly?

This is getting monotonous.

 

Yes, we have it here and rising case numbers

 

Wonder how many cases of other diseases or disorders, (non Covid), we are getting each day?
Anybody counting?

Narr, wouldn't be worth mentioning.

Point being, if you keep counting how many new cases each day its going to mount up, they have NHS testing places on every street corner, almost.

Hospitalisations are rising but then, dont they always, with respiratory diseases, as winter draws on.

 

They're saying the the rise in case here is down to misakes made at a testing centre at woverhamton where they were sending out fasle negatives on the pcr test, test postive on the flow test then test negtive on the pcr test, people were then going round thinking that they were ok in stead of isolating
