This latest variant spreads like wildfire, so there's a real risk to Nobles, emergency services and those involved with essential supply chain. Your flippant ' doesn't bother me' attitude is the only thing around here that's hard to comprehend. Ps. They are not my buddies.

Partly because they’re testing at every sniffle and being off if covid positive, even though they could work. Over the years I’ve turned into work with cold and flu-like symptoms. Doctors rarely used to go off sick when I started out, because if you did you were dumping extra work onto your mates and we had enough to do. I learned a hard lesson about operating when ill and stopped doing that early on, but I’ve done many a clinic over the years with a cough, runny nose and a bit of a temperature. Can’t do it these days though, and nobody thanks you if you do. Ramseyboi has a point. I think he’s probably right, but we’re not yet quite certain that omicron is the final ‘common cold’ version of covid-19. I hope he is, and it is. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that do you think? Testing. Did you read my posts. People are off sick because they tested positive. If they hadn’t done a test they would have no idea and would be working as normal. The issue with staff absence is testing, not illness. They are two separate things and you appear to have completely missed the point. We are short staffed at work. Not a single person is ill, but several over the last few weeks have tested positive. No testing and we would have had a full workforce. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protecting the NHS is turning into the most ridiculous argument. How many times have we shut the economy down to protect it now? Soon there won’t be anything worth saving as we need to be paying taxes to fund the NHS and there are a huge number of companies and people who won’t be paying taxes because they aren’t making any money and are in fact losing a huge amount of money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t let this one pass from this afternoon. A well written and well intentioned post written by Roxanne and liked by all the usual suspects in the gang who belittle every contribution from other posters who don’t fit in without knowing anything of their backgrounds. Every….single……time. No matter what the content and until such time as someone they respect and who has an actual face like wrighty agrees with what they were taking the piss out of. I will just leave that there and let some of you have a little think. Maybe don’t criticise other people’s posting style or make judgements on their mental health when you know nothing about them. Debate the content of their posts by all means and come back at them with actual responses - but drop the personal insults and assumptions. Just behave as Roxanne would want you to towards others. You did after all agree with her. Edited December 23, 2021 by Ramseyboi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There appears to be some great allegations made about peoples mental health by some posters who should probably try to analyze how their own insane and depressing posts come across.
