UK is going back to lockdown, our case numbers per day are just gonna keep rising because people did whatever the fuck they wanted at christmas.

Lockdown looking late march end, they say middle of feb, but I've heard that shit before, it'll be late march at the very earliest I'm preparing for it to be later tbh.

We have 2.7M current cases in the UK and 2.3 million of those are in England alone. This new strain is ripping through the country.

Something like this was already in place from the 28th and said not to transport patients who don't have a heart beat to the hospital.

Jesus
That nurse in the video balled up on the floor...
God, that’s grim.

Quote
Also trending was a picture of a nurse wearing her full scrubs, sitting on the floor in the corner of the unit, in shock at what was happening.

Reports have stated that the nurse was fined for "not working during hard times."

It's a big problem. something like 20-25% of the nursing force is expected to quit or pursue a different career "after this is over" and while there's a reported surge in people wanting to become nurses or doctors they're a ways off and I don't doubt many of them have been turned off after this episode.

As a Canadian, that sucks since it leads to brain drain and because the US hospital system is so broke they pay crazy prices for doctors.

Our public broadcaster produced a live TV show called: 'The night of the vaccination' because tommorow the first Dutch healthcare worker will be vaccinated and it kicks off our nation wide vaccination campaign.
It featured medical experts, medical staff, vaccine researchers and also some random people giving their take on the vaccinations.

The poll showed that 75% of the Dutch population are open to taking the vaccination, 15% don't.
99% of the people open to vaccination want the vaccine to protect their friends and family but mandatory vaccination is not supported.
With medical staff that number was higher: 90% y / 10% n and this is great news considering the usual coverage of the flu shot among medical staff is about 30%.

67% still trusts the government and backs the PM's Covid response, which is fairly high considering all the fuck ups.
The numbers surprised everybody the anti-vax movement is very vocal and organized but not as large as first expected.

Overall I feel like they should've produced something like this much sooner. I felt they explained quite well things like how the vaccine was made, how it was done so quickly and what's actually in it.
It was also nice to hear from people and scientists actually working in the labs, hospitals and nursery homes what their experiences and challenges are without having the filter of some politician or spokesperson talking on behalf of them.

I think the moment that hit the hardest was the story the woman told who is getting vaccinated tommorow about her work in caring for dementia patients and having to turn around so the patients can hug her shoulder.
She can't explain any of this to them and she's not able to completely ignore them as that would be inhumane and she's the only contact most of those people are allowed to see.
She also told a story about being the only one in the room when someone died because the family could not be there because of COVID.
People on social media delivering hot takes about MSM propaganda and 'truth videos' throughout the show suddenly went completely silent for a moment.

Wilders has also announced today he's taking the vaccine. Although he does not believe that all the lockdown measures the government has enacted are effective, he called on everyone to take the vaccine once it is available.
Among his supporters there were a lot of people undecided or afraid and his endorsement of the vaccine is a big blow to the anti-vax movement. It probably results in the undecided people accepting the vaccine increasing the yes share from 75% to as high as 90%.

That ironically leaves Baudet and van Haga whose FVD party has collapsed(because of soros conspiracies, a failed coup in his party ranks and antisemitism scandals) along with DENK (the minority party of the Turks and Moroccans) as the sole anti-vaxxers in parliament.  :doge

Poland registers biggest number of yearly deaths since end of World War II

During 2020, there were 475,253 deaths in Poland . . .

That represents a far higher figure than in any year since 1946, while it is also significantly above the average of just under 400,000 annual deaths recorded in recent times.

Even if one takes into account the fact that Poland has a larger overall population today than in the past, the figure of 12.4 deaths per 1,000 inhabitants in 2020 is still the highest since the war.
https://newsbook.com.mt/en/poland-registered-biggest-number-of-yearly-deaths-since-end-of-world-war-ii/
edit:
The rate of 12.4 was hit in 1951. Total deaths in 46 was only 335,000. Obviously much higher in the years from 39-45. My guess it's the highest total since 45 and highest rate since 51.

edit 2:
Official stats are capturing fewer than half of all COVID deaths.

My city recorded one case of the UK variant in a quarantine hotel cleaner. She was circulating in the community from 2 January for five days while infectious.

We just started a three-day lockdown to allow contact tracing to catch up. Hope they get this under control quickly. I don't really fancy going back to restricted movements again. We've had relatively restriction-free lives and no community transmission for more than three months and for most of the pandemic really.

I'd expect to see many nurses go full Rorschak after this, where people whine "Save us," and they say, "No." Having the virus-denier shitbirds out there, being childish and willingly risking everyone's lives, definitively putting their own convenience before others' health, and ultimately overwhelming the caregivers' capacity? Fuck you. You made your bed. Lie in it.

I'm coldhearted about this, likely, but rather than confirming heartbeat to prioritized if they can be transported to the hospital, do a quick Facebook check, and see if they've been a virus denier or even willfully ignoring precautions. Let that be the metric.

Yeah, I've had so many providers tell me that they're having a difficult time and have totally lost faith in the populations they serve. Even those that support the doctors. I've seen data analysts just get up and quit because they were handed a person they had to contact trace for and they're like "This person had COVID and went to a party with 80 people and of those 4 others actively had COVID and knew it too?" And they just got up and left.

Pure naval gazing speculation here but it’s scary how this is lining up similarly to the Spanish Flu. A more contagious mutation in its second year that could potentially send deaths soaring.
