But statements of absolutes really don’t take us further forward, even though our yearning for things to be simpler or easier to deal with is strong and understandable. Some vaccinated people can still carry covid, but most don’t. Public policy is based on the extent to which either of those is true, and as the data improves the policies follow. It’s messy but it’s where we are.

Chris, the care home industry is on its knees. Homes are getting some additional funding but it’s still doesn’t cover all the voids they have. (Voids = empty rooms).
I’ve said much earlier probably in now the other closed thread, but when there is not enough staff to care for a fully occupied home, this is extra old people occupying hospital beds.
Now tonight, MPs vote through mandatory vaccines for NHS staff, 73,000 are not jabbed, not going to get into the reasonings for this, but if they don’t get jabbed, that’s a lot of vacancies on an already troublesome industry suffering from shortfalls. We’re going to have a third world health industry with this governments handling of it. I’m close to walking away myself it is this bad and this government, just doesn’t give a shit, so why should I continue?
