I Don't See The Point

Don't know if its the same in you're area, but councils in a wide area in and around me seem to think that since this virus hit that people don't need public toilets, or have reduced the opening hours. For example signs on the doors stating that: not open until 10am, closed at 4pm.

Have we all been unknowingly re- calibrated for our bowels and bladders only to work between these hours?

Protect the Doctors my...errr... foot. Anybody else clock the scrawny scruffy ex stink shone rebel without a clue in London yesterday? The GP who felt it was her duty to be there cos the climate glow bulls are a danger to health. I wonder what the poor suckers that are supposed to be part of her non practice think about it.

Ta Teacake.

Why is it I can get an appointment with the GP nurse to check my ears but the GP won’t give my wife a much-needed steroid injection?

How come my GP can send me for a blood test but can't check my blood pressure?

[bednobs]

how come a question about toilets turned into a rant about doctors?

15.01 And Matt Hancock to instruct ALL doctors to open their surgeries without any further delay. OR be struck off. 7 days a week to catch up.

16.07, May be they need a doctor because they've all got busted bladders. :0)

Arrods @ 16.01
My GP practice tells me that steroid injections, and B12 injections reduce immunity to the Covid virus, I don't have a clue if this is true or not>
That's what I get told when I ring for my B12. I am supposed to have monthly blood checks for low Hb, they kept fobbing me off, now it's just below 80, and I'm waiting a transfusion. Been told I must wait another 2 weeks before I ring again.

Update. Yes, just found out that steroid injections were put on hold due to lower immunity. (Why did the surgery not explain it instead of saying “we’re not doing them”.) However, they’re about to restart - with the proviso to self-isolate for 7 days.)

Local Tesco closed its (2) toilets. The local public loos were also closed. Eventually I complained about discrimination and must have been one of quite a few who complained that they could not shop comfortably and had had 'accidents'. Anyway, one loo was opened about a week later.

In the town, seaside, we started getting an influx of visitors or course and all Hades reigned as people were 'caught short' and nipping into gardens to wee and even defecate. Eventually the public loos were re-opened. What the council were thinking of is beyond me - as is their current obsession with closing off on-street parking and forcing people to clog up shop carparks and quiet residential street. The excuse is, of course, 'In the interest of providing distance to allow social spacing'. I read that nowhere in the world has anyone caught Covid by passing someone in the open air. The greengrocer Hodges are in full flow.

It’s all mad. There have been cars parked all along the road in my village, people weeing in my garden and pooing in neighbouring gardens.
Just open the place. People are milling about everywhere.
