How long does it take to get a jag, I could rattle through about 10-12 an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slarti Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 How long does it take to get a jag, I could rattle through about 10-12 an hour. I was sitting at the table for about 3 minutes total.To be fair, I think about the time I got into the building coincided with them starting to take their staggered lunch breaks so there would have been less "jaggers" on duty at one time. Probably added at least half an hour onto the wait, maybe even an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardBuddie Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 I think the point of them is to get me wait in a queue at the Lagoon for over 3 hours even though I had an appointment time. Just as well some of it was on work time.Yeah I experienced the exact same at the lagoon this morning, seemingly they were under resourced due to staff isolating, the real reason I thought though was there was only one nurse available to ask the pre set questions, when I eventually got seated for my jag it took 10 minutes for said nurse to appear!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Israel to offer fourth COVID-19 dose to those over 60 | CTV News Israel ahead of the game again. Also, Portugal seem to be shutting up shop for no reason, and they've got an 88% vaccination uptake. Quote Portugal has become the latest European country to reimpose restrictions on bars and restaurants. On Tuesday Prime Minister Antonio Costa ordered nightclubs and bars to shut their doors and told people to work from home from 26 December until at least 9 January. Costa also announced that a negative coronavirus test will be required to stay at hotels and said that outdoor gatherings will be limited to 10 people per group on New Year's Eve. Portugal is one of the most heavily vaccinated countries in the world, with almost 88% of its 10 million population fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Despite this, new infections have been rising steadily there over the past several weeks and the new Omicron variant is rapidly becoming the dominant variant of the coronavirus.

I think the other dynamic at play is the need to self isolate if testing positive, which will potentially cripple businesses and public services through staff absence. It's not just hospitalizations that could overrun the NHS but staff absences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, not just the NHS but many business's who have people "forced" to isolate, many unpaid, is killing many sectors, when the vast majority will have no symptoms that would keep them off work in normal circumstances.

faraway saint Posted December 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 So, England are taking a common sense approach to isolating by reducing the period from 10 days to 7. (If you have a negative LFT) With people HAVING to self isolate causing havoc in many sectors this will have a significant effect on these services.

faraway saint Posted December 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 This will upset baz.......................... Darkest days could be behind us as data hint that omicron cases may have peaked Although admissions are still rising, cases in Britain have been largely unchanged for about six days, with 90,629 reported on Tuesday, a fall of 1,115 from the previous day. Case rates are also reassuringly low in areas with high vaccination, suggesting that vaccines and boosters are holding up well against omicron. It is still too early to be sure, but here is what the latest data is telling us. Hospital-case ratio The number of people ending up in hospital after testing positive for Covid has fallen to one of the lowest points in the entire pandemic, with just 1.95 per cent being admitted.
