This corona virus thing...

Called by school to isolate the eldest as he's been in contact with a positive case. Should get his GCSEs right back on track with a PS5 arriving today. Goddamnnit

Not for the first time there is a lack of joined up thinking from our illustrious leaders.

Staff at RPH have been informed they will now be tested twice weekly

That’s shutting the door after the horse has bolted. Is it right that they are not tested regularly at all if ever?

Nurses are allowed one antibody test on the NHS and PCR tests have to be booked in the usual way

That’s shocking when they could be asymptotic and taking it into a hospital.

It's a near certainty that's what's been happening all the way through. Hospital acquired infections are significant, they can only come from either the staff or the patients.

They did an (albeit limited) study on it early in the year and found the most common path of infection was staff-staff and patient-patient. Staff-patient and patient-staff was very limited, likely due to ppe and infection control

Hospitals are, unfortunately, just a vector for disease transmission.

The last NICE report I read on HAIs found that something like 6% of all hospital inpatients in acute care wards pick up an infection during their stay, with respiratory diseases causing >80% of them. No great surprise that covid is getting transmitted too.

Patients don’t wear masks on the wards and the wards don’t have air con or windows open particularly wide

Bloody horrible places, even at the best of times. Spent a lot of time in hospitals across Europe, incl Germany, and the difference in the quality of the building stock is frightening. I swear to god just being in a typical British hospital ward makes you sicker.
