the stinking enigma Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 He keeps going on about people going in to work with symptoms as if he has no idea quite why this is happening. Why don't one of these fucking journalists that we pay ask him why he thinks that may possibly be. It's starting to piss me off a bit now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody who has their payslip drop onto the mat every week/month regardless in these times has much of an idea. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media figures were based on a Facebook post on the Police Media Page. The relevant bit (though the whole statement is interesting) actually related to calls to the ESJCR ie Emergency Services Joint Control Room - basically the people who ring '999': Last week alone we had 16 calls to the ESJCR which related to mental health issues. We had one person attempt to take their own life and 11 calls of people making threats of suicide. Lockdown is obviously having an impact on people and we would encourage anyone who is needing help to contact the relevant support agencies or speak to a family member or friend. It's telling that this is the Police who are making the appeal and that as usual Mental Health Services seem to come up with nothing but platitudes when they bother to appear. As we've seen before, there seem to be people who trust the Police to help with their mental health problems more speedily and sympathetically than those who are paid to do so. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, 'all' is an unrealistic target, but 90% would still require 977 a day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As anyone would have no idea. Largely because it is so fucking stupid. Do you have any idea why someone with covid symptoms would go to work? It can only be for one of 3 reasons - they are incredibly stupid/willfully disobeying instructions, they've been told to come to work by their employer OR they don't get paid if they don't show up. There's no point asking the question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 We are now following the uk method. If infections go up again we'll start jabbing more people again. Not from a health perspective but a PR one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole 'defund the police' thing is about exactly that. It's not about weakening your police force to let criminals run amok as the lunatic right would tell you, it's about properly funding the services that would be better able to deal with things like this instead of buying silly toys and weapons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely. Certainly in any volume. 2. That just falls into the Stupid/ Selfish category. You don't go into work infecting people when you know you have covid because your isolated and anxious. That's idiotic and selfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
