Some NHS wards in UK are now demanding a video call of a positive covid test to go off sick. Do they not realise there are easier ways and a decent GP would sign every single one of them off with stress for much longer. It's just profoundly insulting and pathetic

Fascinated and terrified by chickens, covid, politics and climate change. Not necessarily in that order.
Katie Didn’tIf a person checks their watch while you’re talking, it’s probably because they’re timing you and this is a competition. Keep talking. It’s win-time baby. You got this.
My local UK health board have just prescribed me (CEV) covid antivirals over the phone. All very efficient etc.
It seems bizarre to me tho that the only way they'll give them to me is by me driving a 3 hour round trip over the hills to the hospital while being ill enough to need antivirals. It doesnt seem sensible.It really didn't help my mood that he spent the first 2 mins telling me how mild omicron is and how everyone is going to get it multiple times so we'd all might as well get on with it.

Rachel 🏳️🌈 #DavosSafe for allYear 3 of the pandemic and we still don't have one integrated app/website/number where we can:
- View COVID rates in our area
- Find a vaccine site
- Order free rapid tests and N95 masks
- Report rapid test results
- Order treatments
- Check air quality
What are we doing?

Just watched local ITV news. They had a doctor on who has spent the last 2 years happily minimising covid. Prompted by the presenter with 'Everyone seems to have flu at the moment' he launched into a full on immunity debt rant and said we should all focus on our mental health to strengthen our immune systems. What the hell is wrong with these people?
It must be paid for. It must be deliberate. It must be coordinated.

Red Tin Dave@whatsupeh @mikegalsworthy anyone who thinks graphene is the thinnest black stuff in the world has never bought the value bin liners from Lidl 😉 sorry/not sorry
Giles Paley-PhillipsIt's good to reflect sometimes that when we're no longer here the bigger houses, new cars or expensive clothes we longed for mean nothing compared to the shared moments of compassion, kindness and love with those who mean the most to us. Time is always worth more than things
Anthony J LeonardiThis is the conflation that bothers me. They are trying to bury *unprecedented* immunological changes in a mass grave of Functional Neurological Disorder
The conflation of all of these syndromes serves minimizers
Most of the planet will have immunological dysfunction from Covid
