Fields & fountain, moor & mountain Dec 2021 6:18pm, 15 Dec 2021 1,177 posts	Quote Pin Fields & fountain, moor & mountain BBC news channel, not BBC1 Agree DocM - frankly I am surprised people needed to be told Whitty’s main takeaway. Should anyone go out to say the pub tonight and get covid, and then be upset about missing Christmas Day with their family, well that’s a case of bad prioritisation. It’s a bit like going out on a bender the night before a job interview.
Little Miss Happy Dec 2021 6:19pm, 15 Dec 2021 5,400 posts	Quote Pin Little Miss Happy I can't believe they still aren't doing anything other than increasing the burden on the NHS. Where do they think we are going to get all these extra vaccinators from and how long do they think the staff left on the wards etc can keep going?

JenHB Dec 2021 6:35pm, 15 Dec 2021 305 posts	Quote Pin JenHB I feel for you LMH - they are worried about the NHS being overwhelmed, so they decide to pull staff away to do lots of vaccinations 🤷‍♀️ and the general public can (basically) continue as normal. I think that they are more concerned about the economy rather than the NHS!

Little Miss Happy Dec 2021 7:04pm, 15 Dec 2021 5,401 posts	Quote Pin Little Miss Happy I’m having a day off tomorrow. I have a sore throat, aching back and a mouth full of ulcers and I feel guilty about not just going in for at least a few hours but it’s not sustainable. We’ve been pretty much flat out for weeks and are all exhausted and it’s not even as though there’s an end in sight.
