I think it's supposed to be ironic. As I note in a post above, the rule of 6 is an excellent way of ensuring over 100 people are quickly infected if one of the 6 has the virus. Yet another utterly stupid bit of advice from HMG.

I thought I'd have a read of your posts. I can't remember why I have you on ignore. Most of the others on my list are either right wing loons or people with problematic behavious and obsessions that I find tiresome or depressing. Anyway.... I take the threat of Covid to the vulnerable very...

It will take you unawares, as apotheoses normally do :wink:

Stop now. If I nod in agreement any harder my head will literally fall off.

To be fair to GT49er....read my post above :thumbsup:

To be fair to two posters I like......it was probably easy to not notice Cummings if you were in favour of Brexit; all was going swimmingly for you after Boris became tory leader, but the rest of us were trying to make sense of who was pulling the strings, saw Cummings, read up on him and...

You seem to be backtracking but I'll take that. Where social distancing is likely to break down, wearing a mask is surely a hit anyone can take, especially when there is live football to enjoy:thumbsup:

And he's nasty. Today, suggesting that Starmer was running down the NHS for having the temerity to ask (rather nicely I thought) why his constituent and others couldn't get a test anywhere in the UK yesterday, even with symptoms, was an absolute disgrace. I can't remember a PM or leader of the...

I was with you when you implied that you wouldn't wear a mask all day long, implying when walking with members of your bubble on the Downs etc. But if you think wearing a mask at a social gathering like a football match is 'ridiculous' you clearly haven't been paying attention :shrug...

Another good point, and contribution to the statistics on numbers of patients seen/dealt with.

Good luck to him, and thanks for posting. One thing I have noticed with the NHS (even before Covid) is that there can be situations where nothing is done if the patient doesn't seem that bothered. I'd be limping today had I not told the bone doctor that I wanted to go skiing again 'so please...

Fair enough. One wonders whether it may be people, probably not the GPs themselves (but who knows - it is largely the bottom half of any medical school class that goes on to become GPs), and instead probably administrative staff, that are contributing to the log jam as a reaction to all the...

Glad to see you're not prepared to knock yourself out for all this nonsense. :facepalm:

I was dealt with immediately. Biopsies within a week of referral. If doctots are not making referrals then that's because they aren't doing their job properly. Mine did :shrug:.

This.

Good point. I discused this with a virology prof pal of mine some weeks ago. He said that some labs have been 'handed over' but he's in no position to know what's going on there. I just checked online and the last announcement about labs at my place bing used for Covid testing was in April...

Fair enough. It would have been helpful for Boris to have explained this when given the chance earlier today. Trade his anecdotes with those thrown at him. Wave some testamonials. Had he done that he'd have reduced the stink by a good percentage. Maybe he's simply not very good at being PM :shrug:

Apologies - while distracted by the apparent testing failure, I made the schoolboy error of inferring a reason for your interests in someone's elegibility for 'free' testing. Musing about someone's right seemed to me like an irrelevant side issue, but if it's a point that you wished to make...

I don't know. I can't imagine how it can even be true. It probably has something to do with Boris' special Classical interpretation of the meaning of the word 'do'. I suspect, in some circumstances as defined by 'a leader of a tribe', to 'do' can mean to idealise, or anticipate, as outlined in...

If Boris' core support is ebbing away I will be rejoicing. I haven't looked at the 'polls' recently. I though it was still neck and neck (which is astonishing, albeit Corbyn did drag labour down to eye-popping depths). There are still plenty of posters on here who continue to cut Boris slack...
