My dad made such a big fuss about pricking his finger. Is it actually that bad?Ooh how lucky I've been selected again for an antibody test. Third time. Can't waitshould show antibodies this time mind from having covid whereas before I hadn't. Be interesting once I muster the courage to jab and squeeze my finger again haha
It's definitely a mind thing because you're having to prick your finger with some clicking device and it takes some build upMy dad made such a big fuss about pricking his finger. Is it actually that bad?
It doesn't hurt at all but I thought it was hard to get enough blood out. I pricked two different fingers to get enough for mine. Keep your hand in warm water for as long as possible beforehand.My dad made such a big fuss about pricking his finger. Is it actually that bad?
If they weren't being rammed down our throats then nobody would care. They've been barely reported for months. We can't keep going lockdown/restrictions/freedom ohhh lockdown forever. It has to be lived with like everything else
They were the same in July as things were starting to open up. We have vaccines now. What do you propose we do? This is going to keep happening and we have to learn to live with it.
My favourite line of the moment is the well it was summer then and more people were outside (when they predicted the same 100k cases a day and didn't happen)
Media have to report some form of panic now. Lol can't do Xmas as realised that wasn't working as still 2 months away. Petrol worked briefly so they've reverted back to covid scaringNobody's disputing the fact we have to live with it but when the tit hits the fan there's only one loser and it ain't the government
Ah! So the panic begins
Thing is it's not about what is happening in the street, or even in schools/colleges... it's all about the hospitals. I work in healthcare, the system is already on its knees and we haven't hit peak season yet. People want to live a normal life but expect that when they are sick/injured, the service will be there for them to use. At the moment, those two things don't seem to be compatible. I'm not sure what the answer is, but I'm pretty sure if the govt keep sticking their fingers in their ears it won't end particularly well.
I work in social care and I feel we are equally on our knees here lol we know that the promised finances won't come anywhere near us aswell. We also have to deal with the aftermath as it were so believe me I get it but the mental health issues are insane - we've never seen anything like this and that's another area getting sweet FA from the government despite the crap they peddle.
I'm not sure how much fearmongering goes on in England they have a large healthservice but I do know it's dire where I am not even through the press reporting I know someone that works in healthcare but as was posted earlier the sickest kids are having their ops postponed and they don't do that lightly ,especially kids with cancer.
The media have been quite horrific during this - and its seriously affecting some people's MH which is why half of the social care staff are also struggling because we are trapped to what we can even offer people (no resources/money/people etc etc)
yeah our social care system is awful even before the pandemic care packages are few and far between ,where I am people are having to spend months in hospital because there's no care to allow them to return home many never get home again .It's one of the most neglected sectors of the healthservice .
