Transparency is what is needed, not more gdpr etc

If your not ill with covid it should not have to be disclosed.

If you were in icu with covid it may have a bearing on your life insurance. People get sick with all sorts of things. If you were seriously sick and still are why would you get a 30 year mortgage no questions asked.

Covid is not being stigmatised. That worker behaved wrecklessly. Her son had a positive result and she was identified as a close contact. I presume contact tracers asked her to isolate herself. She continued to go to work putting others at risk. It's not the covid positive test result people are mad about. It's her actions of putting others at risk. Also she's working in a setting of a care home where residents would be vulnerable. I would also think staff would be somewhat vulnerable too due to the close nature of the work involved. Also there was a prime time episode about the care homes and they did not have enough PPE equipment. That was during the peak. I don't know if that has changed now. She put others at risk.

I wonder if her employer wouldn't have paid her.

Sorry you are right . Only when contacted by the Covid team to get tested did she admit her test was positive . She will be struck off I hope . Shameful behaviour

If the 70yr old that is now infected dies, this is essentially man slaughter?

73 out of 93 are associated with outbreaks

Philip Nolan estimates R at 1-1.2 for what its worth.

Skewed by clusters of course

Given the fall-out over that golf society do last week, this right here should be a sackable offence as she actually put people at risk, not potentially.

Yup but as has been said for a while its difficult to give much confidence in it when clusters occur but still a smaller number always good

Apparently the care worker got a text during her shift that she was positive
She let no one know and finished her shift and only when asked to do overtime did she admit to being positive . Her husband worked in a meat factory

Not that is matters, appalling behaviour but is she an immigrant / refugee?

Seems a lot, is it lack of equipment, lack of training or the poor condition of air within medical facilities?

drunkmonkey · 27-08-2020 05:59PM

Here's the big fibber....really disgusted with him......yea we get it, anything is possible on a long enough timeline.

Atlantic Dawn · 27-08-2020 06:00PM

1-2 deaths every 5 days is no use as a statistic if those deaths were a few months back, a completely different timeline and level of restriction on the country at that time.

Mass testing of health workers is picking up community transmission. Probably unlikely I'd have thought to be spread actually within hospitals as we'd be seeing more clusters of patients.
