Up to 127 cases in the trust and a spike in A&E attendance. Restrictions back in place for visits and these now require evidence of a negative LFT on the day. 13 ICU nurses off and 9 doctors so staffing becoming an issue. It's coming back regardless of whether its tested for or numbers published

Didn't you get the memo homer. Covid is a rich man's illness now and is over.. must be true.. I read it in the daily mail ?

I heard that the Daily Mail is now putting a top secret vaccine in the ink it uses so it’s readers are protected from Covid just by reading the newspaper!

We have our fiddle on a Tuesday and Thursday, a PP mentioned yesterday he could not get on Thursday/ tomorrow. He sent a txt in our watts app group today saying “Boom, Missis Has tested positive so I can get to golf tomorrow”. Now I know he has not tested positive but his missis got it last year and three days later I was pinged on the NHS app coz he tested positive. Coupled with the fact am off to Majorca with the grandsproggs next Saturday for there first hole in 2 years. So do I go golfing or not.Will I end up in his group, might not. Will I be with him in the 19th after, yes. Weather is rammel tomorrow so I can see me giving it a miss. I will be gobsmacked if he is not positive by the end of the weekend.

Golf and risk covid or go away with the grandkids. Seems a proper no brainer. Yes I get we should be living "normally" but why take the risk?

It's what's called 'Living with Covid' Homer. Latest advice seems to be putting your fingers in your ears and shouting " Na na na na na" if anyone mentions it's getting out of control again.

Get that. Part of me agrees with the "living with it" and part of me is scared primarily for our nurses and doctors and the incoming storm. Not sure many of them have the stomach and energy for another wave but they'll find a way. What the long term effect that has on their own health and well being will be remains to be seen

Pathetic snipe as always. 1 in 10 probably have covid. You cannot control it. Therefore, it is what it is and you live with it, or keep whining like an 82 year old schoolboy

Oh dear, personal insults again. You seem to believe any comment about the current Covid policy is aimed at you ?

It's out of control, hospitalisations are rising at an alarming rate, deaths up, infections probably at record levels as many are no longer recorded. We need some sensible policy to attempt to keep it under a modicum of control.

You don't need a negative to get into Spain do you?

I'm off to barbados in a few weeks, which does need one. So I will be in lockdown mode before!

My BiL and his missus are in Spain at the moment, apparently they asked whether they had a negative PCR test but didn't actually ask for proof. Which was good as the SiL had recently recovered from Covid and probs would have got a positive on a PCR.

Am not sure, I think there’s a Spanish locator form to fill in 48 hrs before. Am out with a pal and his missis tonight. He was in hospital March 2020. His wife developed “ Lupus” I think it was so she is doing everything to avoid catching COVID. Ave cancelled golf and hoping to get into Gainsboro PING later today for a fitting ?
