Maybe the management should contact all staff and tell them to halve the isolation period and that will get the trains back running?

One of the top comments

"Covid, the farcical 'pandemic' that keeps on giving...excuses to call in 'sick'."

and another

"At my workplace there are people who use up their full sick pay entitlement every year. They are experts at playing the system. Covid and self isolating has been a gift from heaven for them. They test themselves
twice a week and never want it to end."

Hopefully that’s the case and it drops down dramatically tomorrow although the weekend ‘catch-up’ would have come on Tuesday or Wednesday (yesterday) wouldn’t it ?

Surely everyone was expecting a big jump at some point.....we've had 18 deaths, then 50 so there was obviously a lag somewhere. I'm surprised its not much higher

Hopefully it is just a catch up glitch... better not think of the alternative as yet

Vents are stable..being in hospital with covid doesn’t mean that is what you went in with

The ventilation figures are a week or so behind hospitalisations aren’t they though ..

Get sick - hospitalised - need ventilation - recover/ death .

So you keep saying without saying anything

Stop trying to be the big man and post something of note

I've posted all I have to say. It's not "doomsday", it's not "we're all going to die", it's not the end of the world ... but the numbers are not good, the NHS situation is not good, the numbers are going to continue to increase for a while and it's quite funny watching the same few people declaring "Covid is over" and then desperately scrabbling around trying to turn **** into gold with each day's news. Keeps my spirits up.
