I thought they would “legally” remove them for most instances but keep them for places like hospitals and maybe trains? Since they announced the roadmap I feel like they backtracked on a lot of stuff to be honest. June 21st was supposed to be a complete end to “all social limitations” and now even if it does go ahead it’s definitely going to be a watered down version of that. Masks, social distancing, rule of 6 indoors are here to stay I think 😞 So it’s bye bye hospitality Industry!
Hmm no I don’t mean with back tracking, I remember Boris saying it when the roadmap was announced that masks would have a separate review. I’m sure it’s on these threads somewhere but I cba to find it. As ive said before I rarely have to wear mine now anyway so I’m not too bothered but find it odd it’s now being referenced with the June 21st stuff!

That's changed aswell then as when I had mine back in Jan & March we were told 2 weeks post jab for it to kick in... not 4 :/
They’ve discovered AZ takes longer to kick in than the other vaccines ,I’d assume that’s what they’ll be offering to the over 5O’s ( if it is the vaccines and not an excuse for something else)

No you’re right actually I do remember something being said about a separate review. Though I’m never sure if what I read online anymore is actual news or ✨Daily Mail news✨ (aka bull 😂)

Ah I had Mr Pfizer. Any excuse it seems at this time to relinquish control. If they delay I do hope people decide not to stand for it anymore!


Mine shows 95.2% of beds taken. Obviously the press see it as worrying occupancy is so high in hospitals even with low covid patients. But that's because they are finally getting to try and catch up with some of the five million needing treatment.
But this has been an issue long before covid and the government chose to ignore and cut funding. Now using to fit their agenda it seems. The backlog and cost to human life from that will far outweigh anything covid could do anyway

Our hospitals are the same, I wonder if that’s the real reason they want to hold back healthcare seems to worse now than it’s ever been, if hospitals are full of non covid patients and then a wave takes off we’re fecked.

Ahhh I found this screen shot from 2 April from the gov website so I guess it is a separate review but it was just being announced with lifting the restrictions 🤔

Having worked in the nhs beds are always busy and a hot topic well before covid came along. They plan all year for ‘winter pressures’ with flu etc but media have never been interested in that before. However now it can only be covid causing this

Jesus Christ. Superstar.
Wears frilly knickers and he wears a bra.
Getting shut of restrictions. He's really invested.
It means so much that he's willing to get arrested.


How sad that is. Let's hope it is very isolated cases. I guess because we are not as crowded and have better healthcare it's been avoidable so far.
 
Just curious if anyone had distorted taste after covid and got it resolved? I know this isn’t a covid forum but since covid was brought up, I was curious!

When I had COVID, I did not lose my sense of smell, instead I got Bionic smell. I could smell everything and anything, and it lasted for about 4 weeks. Everything tasted like salt, and only salt, after that finally went went away (4weeks) everything tasted like metal. That lasted for about another month. Things that I use to, love to eat, I can’t even look at them now. Most of my food is home cooked, nothing canned, lots fruit and vegetables.

Not surprising that BAME backgrounds and low incomes are a factor. Poor travel options can mean limited chances to go and get the jab, low incomes often work jobs with unpredictable or long hours which can make it hard to get vaccinated. Also the tip of the iceberg because of mistrust in a system which is systemically racist.
everything you have put affects all people in lower incomes sadly, white working class children are now at the bottom of the pile when it comes to poverty , i actually think the system has changed drastically , look at someone like Alison Hammond she is BAME, she isnt poor or in a low income , yet she refuses the jab , i think to make a point that affects everyone and call it systemic racism is actually a very old fashioned and out dated way to see the world

I had to travel 6 miles to get the jab, im certainly not rich , i keep my head above water, i struggle with anxiety so i cant go on the bus, so i had to borrow £20 to help with taxi fare, i could have said im not having the jab its too expensive, but im now in debt to £20 just so i could get it, if i look at it your way i could say the system has tit on me,but i made the decision to get the jab and go out of my way to do it.

i would agree with long hours, im sure they could put some places on 24 hours, but again , i know people on nights who had to have less sleep to get the jab in the daytime, in this instance of blaming "systemic racism" on not getting the jab i just find a bit hard to accept tbh , the jab isnt discriminatory against colour , its there for everyone, and we all live in tough times, but i think in this instance you just have to work through it, i could have sat in my house and given up, but its important , hopefully to lower the chances of being ill.

When it comes to systems what system are we talking about, ive never been sure tbh , is it the government ?? what system is it and who controls it , because the government are shitting on everyone right now if it means them.

Absolutely correct. The Indian variant has been in this country now a couple of months and did no damage even when far less people were vaccinated. We can absolutely deal with it and no more delays is what we need. At this rate we will lose summer to try and save Christmas with this clowns in charge of us.
I wonder if the Indian/delta variant has only been so terrible in India because so little of the population are vaccinated? As well as many people live in very crowded situations with no access to clean water, healthcare and may even not have access to masks. It is very sad.

Exactly. The NHS has always run at nearly full capacity, waste of money and space to have wards full of free beds

I just compared a couple of those hospitals with the data from 2016/17.

Leeds Teaching Hospitals now - 95%. Then 94.7%
Princess Alexandra now - 95%. Then 95.6%

And counted at least 21 with 95% or more bed occupancy, I stopped at 21 as that was what the Daily Mail used as their cut off point, there are more.

Phony news.

I wonder if each variant evolves to thrive in it's own environment.

Is this the same person who was going to leave the country if Labour won in 1997?
