faraway saint Posted January 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 @pod, you might be interested in this. PM me if you'd like to discuss. Inspectors blast safety measures at covid-hit Paisley care home Covid safety measures were not being followed at a Paisley care home where 16 people died of the virus, inspectors have found. Braemount Care Home lost residents to Covid-19 with outbreaks in all three of its units being detected in mid November. Now, following an unannounced visit to the Glenburn home, the Care Inspectorate says it found serious problems with cleanliness and that staff were not following the guidelines for hand hygiene and use of PPE. The damning findings were included in a report produced by inspectors who have graded the home’s care and support during the Covid-19 pandemic as “weak”. It has also been graded as weak across the three others areas investigated during the visit on November 24.

oaksoft Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Anyway, back to real life, the number of people deciding to ignore the new restrictions continues to go through the roof When you have a handful of rule breakers, you might be able to get away with pointing the blame at the rule breakers. When you have hundreds of thousands (and possibly into the millions) routinely breaking the rules all across every region of the UK, the politicians can no longer get mileage out of "don't kill granny" moral high ground grabbing. Governments don't rule by right. They rule by consent. Almost a year down the line now, a growing number of people just want to get on with their lives (willing to bet it's a silent majority of people too), accepting the risk of death as part and parcel of being alive. No amount of hand-wringing or totally misplaced, stomach-churning moralising will stem the flow of people deciding it's time to emerge from quaking under the bedsheets and move on with life.

Feel free to play the man rather than the ball if you like but your vision of Utopia where nobody dies an unnecessary death certainly doesn't belong anywhere near the real world.

That doesn't mean the government should just give up on restrictions it only highlights the limit of their powers. They still need to be doing all they can to encourage adherence and save lives.

Are you sure you have this point right? It's been pointed out before your interpretation of posts on that very subject have been wrong, you've even arrogantly (and incorrectly) claimed to have educated some on the "nobody dies" point.

Bud the Baker Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Yeehah! We are absolute cowboys - aren't we? Quote PHE says it is reasonable to mix the two approved vaccines in exceptional circumstances “If your first dose is the Pfizer vaccine you should not be given the AstraZeneca vaccine for your second dose and vice versa. There may be extremely rare occasions where the same vaccine is not available, or where it is not known what vaccine the patient received. “Every effort should be made to give them the same vaccine, but where this is not possible it is better to give a second dose of another vaccine than not at all.” or where it is not known what vaccine the patient received - WTF!

faraway saint Posted January 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I can see full lockdown coming soon.

Could well be but I'd imagine this lockdown, IF it happens, will be a shorter spell so hardly worth the effort. Anyhow, let's see what happens in the next few days. PS With sensible driving I'm only £17 a week for fuel, all adds up right enough, £58 a month saved.
