That’s an upwards trend over the course of that week.
Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

? It would seem so.

The point I was making was the fact that the numbers are down to single figures for 7 days in a row with an average of 6 per day.
Ps yesterday's number was 3.

Heard some really positive stories/testimonies yesterday about how for some the vaccine has dramatically relieved symptoms of ‘long COVID’ - first helped, second made huge difference ? One major hidden problem bubbling under from the pandemic also mentioned is the likely number of undiagnosed cancers...?

Suggests that long Covid is immunological in origin and the vaccine reboots the system enough to get rid of it.

He is quite clearly shying away from answering this.
Maybe he's a bit embarrassed?

I have woken up feeling positive this morning. Not sure why, nothing has really changed but most of the 'freedoms' that impact on my life are now allowed, though doing some of them does make me nervous and that is a psychological barrier I need to clear. I know that it is an over simplified view but schools are back, shops are open, pubs are open, we are meeting small numbers of people inside again and the numbers remain steady. The daily vaccine numbers are going up again and so I am taking a day to try and be positive about things going forward.
Got a few friends coming round for dinner on Friday night. This is a baby step for me as 3 of the 4 are regularly tested through work and all have had at least one jab and so I have set up as safe an environment as I can for the first move towards socialising inside. Hope it goes well as due in the pub on Sunday.

Are these low uptake areas?
Can't remember how similar these were to those first kept under longer restrictions last year

We're definitely over the worst, it will take time for things to feel normal again but that day will come, hopefully soon. Keep your pecker up.

I am not embarrassed. I answered the original question honestly but am indifferent to engaging a long winded defence of my opinion on a polarising subject that is unlikely to end in any form of consensus. However, this gives a good example as to why. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/columnists/2021/05/04/reason-youvenot-seen-gp-recently-frankly-scandal/
Great welcome you get here:
Seems a lot of effort to join a forum just to use the word "eviscerated."

Maybe you should reflect on your first posting here. You used It to to show your disdain of just about everybody. Not a great way to attract a welcome.

You don't answer the original question at all.
Allison Pearson's article is, like most of her other stuff, a pile of horsepoo and demonstrably untrue.
As for the polarising subject, you posted it, pal, so bit late to get your knickers in a twist now. If you haven't the Pro V1s to answer obvious questions that you have invited by your comment, then don't post in the first place.

The original question was how as Coronavirus affected you and I answered this honestly. I wish I hadn't as it has seemingly invoked the ire of a clique.
Demonstrably untrue? The lady in the article is dead and her husband used to run an NHS Trust. Check out the Planet Normal podcast for more of Alison Pearson's excellent work.
Please accept that I have zero interest in engaging with you in a discussion about GP's.
Haven't the balls? Knickers in a twist? Don't post in the first place? Nice.

I'm new-ish on here too, but welcome.
GPs are like any other part of society, real or virtual. Some good, some bad, some who turn up, do the job, get paid, get on with their lives.
I've had mixed experiences, mostly negative, since our local legend retired 10 years ago. There's a part-timer at ours who seems excellent, but her appointment book is always full, unlike the ass who took over the practice.

Not everybody, but I take your point.

Should be going to the ribble valley next Sunday for a suprise 80th. That’s looking very iffy.

I listened to the first couple, being totally disenfranchised by news media over the last few years, hoping that it might be something fresh.
It all seemed a bit smug and right-wing pretending to be independent.

Oh, so you slag off an entire profession, my colleagues and peers, and I am supposed to just say 'Fair enough'. Don't think so.
So the original question I made to you was a simple one 'Why?' and you have no answers except to cite Allison Pearson. She is a Covid denier with a long track record of animosity against the NHS and medical profession.
You have still offered no explanation of why YOU have an issue with GPs, or why your anecdote says anything about GPs in general, and refusing to discuss any more. Sounds like it was all a load of made up [redacted].
