Gulp! Sorry Naomi! Emmie. Twas for thee! :o)

[emmie]

oh i see...

[emmie]

not irrelevant, Corbyn would have made just as many problems, mistakes. Same as Keir Starmer, who isn't being particularly effectual. These are strange times
with strange outpourings from government, but they have handled things as directed from their medical, science advisor's

[Peter Pedant]

that is the Grauniad
Daily Mail - Boris goes bish bash bosh to sneaky starmer
or Starmer on the ropes as Boris the basher biffs .....

// hese are strange times

like y"ou are all going to DDDDIIIIIEEEE!"
Boris more soulfully than the rest
not that strange considering 30 000 have already

Boris is useless in the HOC when faced with a question, especially when he doesn't have all the Tory sycophants sitting behind him to do the statutory cheering at his every word. Starmer is treating him gently at the moment but he can make mincemeat of him when he wants to. The only time Boris sounds reasonably fluent is when he's reading the script from an autocue. Put him on the spot and we get Bumbling Boris the Buffoon.

Not what I saw when watching it yesterday,Another Guardian invention.

And we get Diddly the obsessive.

[fiction-factory]

I keep hearing reports of loads of patients who were tested positive for Covid being sent to Care Homes. Sounds very odd to me. If it's true then unless they were instructed to do so, or it was approved by the government, I don't see why the ire isn't being targeted at the NHS doctors/decision makers who made the decisions.
However I find it hard to imagine that patients with Covid would be sent to care homes- ill Covid patients are not sent home until they have shaken it off and are fit to go home, so I can't see why patients would be sent to Care Homes. If it has happened I think they would have put in isolation units.
Are there actually any examples? Is it a few cases or thousands? Does anyone have a link please? Or is it just anecdotal? Just puzzled.

[diddlydo]

And we get Danny the blinkered.

[fiction-factory]

Hi diddly- glad you're around. CAs it's your OP can you help me regarding y query at 8:30 please?

I don't think you answered my query on another thread about whether you had a cleaner as you were concerned about the provision in the guidance

[CrapAtCryptics]

From the Guardian so that will be an unbiased account.......

[diddlydo]

FF - no I don't have a cleaner. I was merely using that as an example to show that the current law/rule is illogical and downright stupid. Happy now?

[dannyk13]

Diddly, being blinkered is better than being as blind as you are. You're constant obsession with Boris is unnatural, not so say boring as well.Why don't you surprise everyone and submit a post that does not mention Boris.

[douglas9401]

If you Google 'covid patients sent to care homes' FF, you'll have a fair choice of news sources reporting the same thing.

[diddlydo]

CAC - I assume you're one of the deluded ones who believes everything they read in the Daily Wail and/or the Torygraph?

[fiction-factory]

Thanks Douglas. I'm looking for one though that shows up a massive scandal for which Hancock and Boris should resign.
I don't think:
"The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said it is investigating a “very small” number of incidents where hospitals who treated individuals who tested positive for Covid-19 did not disclose the diagnosis to carers when the patients were discharged"
covers that, although it clearly it raises questions for the hospitals concerned.



If you have a better link that isn't behind a paywall that would help.

[douglas9401]

I'm not sure any link provided could break the spell that Mr Johnson has cast so I'll not bother any further.

[Deskdiary]

I've struggled with the idea that the Government are to blame for care home deaths - even on this thread they've been blamed - given it's not the Government who are discharging patients; the patients are being discharged by hospitals.
