Redundancies are starting to roll through now that the furlough period is starting to be eased, absolutely devastating for so many people
Yes I know anecdotally a few companies in sectors which aren't coming back anytime soon are starting work through this now, with the end of the furlough scheme on the horizon
One of the Councillors from down south said that the data was very misleading and there is no comparison in his area to what is happening in Leicester, even though it was one of the 36 areas deemed at risk of having to have a local lock down. Either the Government isn't sharing all the data with local councils, or there's a massive lag in data getting sent to them and they're not seeing both pillar 1 and pillar 2 data. Either way, I just don't trust anything that comes from this Government.
As I acknowledged in my post. But the problem with testing is that the positive numbers depend upon how many people are tested, and who is tested. The more random the testing, the lower the positive rate. The more targeted the testing, the greater the positive rate. Then, there are varying problems with reliability of differing test kits, and it seems the result numbers are more open to fudging.
This is starting to look like another incompetence masterclass and there will be a massive public backlash against the government if it turns out that people are getting fucked about with lockdown because of a lack of transparency or incompetence, in my opinion.
would rather have a wank wearing a barb wire glove
If you're chasing thrills, try a bit of auto-asphyxiation with a poppers-soaked orange in your gob.
My office is being decimated, and the jobs aren't coming back any time soon for my company.Just waiting to find out if I will survive the cull.
Shit, really sorry to hear that, just a horrible situation to go through, fingers crossed everything works out for you.
To everyone whose jobs are impacted by Covid-19, remain positive, if you are unfortunate enough to lose your job, just remember there’s gonna be something better coming along soon. When one door closes another opens.
Absolutely ridiculous, number of cases and deaths have increased compared to yesterday and same time last week, yet people will still be going to watch football down the pub come Saturday. Also the number of tests element is misleading on the one hand I think the government know that more testing will mean more new cases so aren’t testing enough. On the other hand you have people that would rather go the beach than getting a test done.
Thinking is overrated.The mind is a tool, it's not meant to be used that much.Rest, love, observe. Laugh.
All the best mate, hope you'll be okay. No word from my work yet.
Just seen the list, all over the place including parts of London, Yorkshire, Lancashire, the Midlands and north east. I hope Merseyside will not be joining this long list in the next two weeks.
Except that's not the way things actually work, is it.
It’s about not thinking like that. Coming from an ethnic minority background, it’s always been harder to get a job for me. I Used to think like you say, around 3/4 years back. I then changed my mindset and it’s improved things a lot. It might not be a job opportunity straight away, it may be a opportunity to learn a new skill or language which eventually leads to the new job.
They have struck a deal with a couple of generic drug manufacturers in India and Pakistan to make and supply the drug to 127 developing countries. Price will be something like $65 dollars per vial compared to the $520 per vial in the US. €520 per vial is the charge for US patients with commercial insurance, then $390 per vial for governments of developed countries and US patients on government healthcare. Think it’s 6 vials per treatment course.
“We did in Leicester exactly what we did in Kirklees, Bradford or Weston-Super-Mare or other places where very effective whack-a-mole strategies have been put in place."
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnson-blames-leicester-lockdown-22283638What the fuck did they do in Kirklees or Bradford? WSM only closed a hospital, which is a decision that I presume would have been made by the local CCG rather than a decision made from the top of government.
A change of mindset and a new language won't help me if I lose my job and my landlord kicks me out, but go you! I'm glad things have worked out.
Could you claim UC? Happy to help if you'd like any advice on your options if you were to lose your job.
Thanks mate. I don't know how it'd work as I live with my partner, I haven't looked into the worst case scenario too much because I get overwhelmed with anxiety a lot. Last I heard from work sales were up a bit so I'm hoping over the next couple of weeks I'll have good news rather than bad. If I do need help I'll let you know, thank you again.
Gives Johnson a chance to repeat ad nauseum his latest moronic saying. Wack a mole for fuck sake.
Don't forget,"Build build build for jobs jobs jobs".
A bit of comfort at least we're not the Yanks.
That's hard work for him, six words rather than the usual three.He'll need a nap after all that hard work.
Countries need to cancel the patent (legal to do so) and make it themselves now those twats the other side of the pond have bought it all up.
I am amazed that the Data on the Leicester situation has only just become public. The data the government have been feeding us shows an improving picture but when you see the pillar2 on top it is clear that infections have been on the rise since May.If this data reflects in other areas then the government have done as many suspected, and unlocked prematurely.Even more worrying is Johnson’s barefaced lies about this data being shared. Rotherham and Burnham have both gone on record saying they can’t get the pillar 2 for their areas, and the Mayor of Leicester’s account flatly contradicts Johnson’s response in the house. Remember when misleading the house was a serious offence? No longer the case.
Leicestershire only started getting the pillar 2 data on the 25th June. I'd expect they were prioritised due to circling the city being locked down and, as it turns out, having considerable chunks of their own area locked down also.I've not heard any other areas commenting on their pillar 2 data which suggests that it's still not being made widely available. It doesn't sound like it's an issue of getting hold of the data either as Hancock blurted out the news about Leicester well before the Public Health officials in Leicester had even an inkling there was an issue.
Guys, It's fine. We're being told to go to the pub and raise a glass on SaturdayIt's just 43,906 deaths. Lets raise a glass.....
