Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

The initial guidelines going between tiers was stating that travel to a different tier was only for essential reasons but this is for going to Tier 3

“Avoid travel to or overnight stays in tier 3 areas other than where necessary,” read the guidelines.

And going from Tier 3

“Avoid travelling to other parts of the UK, including for overnight stays other than where necessary,” reads the advice.

what difference does it make what I consider? Based on qualifications, responsibility etc considerably more than £28k, which google tells me is the average wage. Interrogate that

If you think they are underpaid then you must have an idea what you believe they should be paid, after all you are the one suggesting it's too low.

Why would I drop them a line ?

The guidelines are on the government website - if you are still in Coventry you are in Tier 3 these are the guidelines for travel.

  • avoid travelling to other parts of the UK, including for overnight stays other than where necessary, such as for work, education, youth services, to receive medical treatment, or because of caring responsibilities. You can travel through other areas as part of a longer journey

You're being somewhat obtuse. If you believe something is undervalued you must know what the true value should be. I'm not the one suggesting the average Nurse is underpaid.

I’ve noticed from your previous postings, your seem to thrive on on-line confrontation, and yet are quick to take offence. It’s a real passive aggressive paradox. You’ve adding nothing.

Is there an echo??? You really want to know.
Rough calculations are that as a starting wage they are approx 20% behind the average graduate...with significantly more responsibilities. If you do the maths that’s £29k starting salary. Average architect salary is £60k, I’ve never needed an architect, I’ve needed a nurse. So a qualified, experienced nurse £60k. Enough figures for you?
It clearly won’t happen as we can’t afford it, but I would say a fully resourced, funded motivated NHS is more important than a poorly planned lockdown in times of global pandemic. Then those currently paralysed by fear my have some hope....Just my opinion
anything to add?

And you are calling someone else passive aggressive? Christ.

I do think they are underpaid, but almost 700k nurses indicates that people are still willing to work. However i would chuck them up to 33k (average wage) with generous specialised taxing and make sure all stupid costs were eliminated IE: parking and paying for meals when working.

The one thing that strikes me about Xmas arrangements is that you've got to really trust the other two families that are in your bubble. This isn't having a go at or questioning your bubble at all SiLH but a general comment. It's all well and good being in a bubble with two other families as long as those other two families aren't also meeting with other families outside of that.

Again, I'm not suggesting anyone in your bubble would do this but there will certainly be some that will.

That’s right. And it is one of our considerations. I can imagine Three households gatherings together for Christmas lunch then on Boxing day one or more of these households meeting up with another household. And we can’t do that. Its not our situation as my daughters b/fs family will not be meeting with any others over the Christmas break and so they can in effect be one of our three households - and us of theirs. But this has required disappointing ‘sacrifice‘ and difficult choices being make.
