It's a good thing we have such a robust social care system that really cares about people with long term sickness! E: 32 is the amount of seconds it will take covid generation children to draw a full breath

Z the IVth posted:The only reason the NHS hasn't haemorrhaged even more clinical staff is that by and large most will receive an automatic pay progression semi-regularly. So everyone gets a reasonably significant pay rise each year but each individual pay point is worth less year by year due go inflation. The 2018 pay deal (which was poo poo) changed this, so there's generally only 2 points in a pay band and you get one big jump after several years. It's basically to flatten out pay curves and make things cheaper if you keep staff turn over steady. So now you feel the bit every year. Good times. EDIT: This is the 'Agenda for Change' scale that Nurses/AHPs/Admin Staff use. Can't remember about doctors. DroneRiff fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Mar 7, 2021 |

The Perfect Element posted:Also is it me, or is Labour's position of nobly arguing that in fact nurses should have a whopping 2.1% pay rise just weak as gently caress. Like, as a negotiating tactic, an extra 1.1% starting point is just pathetic. Sensible Centrists- We do the compromising so you don't have to. Using only the British Political Cartoons thread as a barometer, it looks like people right across the spectrum are dunking on the parsimony. Refusing to fork out some more for nurses while spending buckets of cash redecorating Downing street is looking increasingly crass. There definitely is room for a more radical starting point, but unfortunately Starmer's suppressed all the party elements that would introduce that to the discussion. Labour without the bolshiness is a pretty dismal looking thing.

Went to Aldi today, totally riddled. People standing around nattering in the aisles with some pal they've bumped into. Huge family groups with like 5 kids running amok. Maybe I am being unreasonable but the most annoying people of all are the maskless dickheads with their sunflower lanyards. I would have some small measure of respect for someone just refusing to wear one and fronting it out, but the way they proudly show off their super special snowflake permission slip from the teacher really really gets to me, as if to say I'm the rear end in a top hat for getting frustrated with them and they need everyone to understand just how fragile and vulnerable they are and how everyone needs to be super nice and considerate to them. gently caress off, there is not a single condition on the planet that prevents you wearing a bit of fabric on your face for a few minutes, grow the gently caress up. There are people with one lung and COPD who need oxygen just to get up a flight of stairs who manage. It's totally bizarre to me that any medical professional is indulging this garbage.

Eh, people with serious anxiety can have problems with their mouth being covered. Theoretically, autistic people might struggle too. Seems a bit of an over-reaction.

My mate has a bunch of conditions and a sunflower lanyard, but doesn't have breathing trouble so wears a mask. She regularly gets people coming up to her saying "oh you're exempt, you don't need to wear a mask love!"

Some of my work colleagues have hearing loss, difficulties breathing and panic attacks when getting their mouths covered due to claustrophobia. The fact that you going: "these loving swots and their loving "special permission slips", gently caress them" is the exact same emotional response as someone going 'FLAT SCREEN TV AND A FACKIN' HOUSE" about asylum seekers. This is one of the essential flaws of everyone I think, but is something I see a lot of. The idea that someone, somewhere is "getting away with it". It's understandable as we live in a cruel world without justice, but it isn't always fair. Josef bugman fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Mar 7, 2021 |

On the one hand I'm sure if you have claustrophobia or anxiety it might be deeply unpleasant to wear a mask but then on the other grow up and suck it up for the three minutes it takes, seriously, it's a pandemic, the collective good takes priority over your comfort. Yeah, the pandemic is bringing out the authoritarian in me and it is quite troubling! I think being confined to quarters for a year has made me very uncharitable.

This isn't how anything works you dipshit. Technically I have three conditions making me exempt from masks but lol I can just make my own masks bypassing each condition. At the cost of filtering efficiency but hey.

Walking round Morrisons today there was a gentleman ranting at his wife about "seven loving Chinese all in a row down that aisle". I don't think it's uncharitable to assume he didn't bother to confirm whether they were a family or a queue.

Being tired of [the situation] is okay, but it's still very based in the idea that disability is something you can just "turn off" as long as it isn't losing a limb.

If people with anxiety or phobias could "just grow up and deal with it", they would do. Acting as if mentally ill people are just doing it on purpose to annoy you is really unpleasant for all mentally ill people, and another barrier to have to deal with. "I can't see your problem, therefore you don't have one. (Happily, my own anxiety doesn't include claustrophobia, and I'm quite happy to wear a mask, but I get really annoyed by people saying that phobias or trauma triggers are made up)

Everyone's been cooped up in their houses too long and we're all getting stressy. Better times are on the way: 21 million people have had their 1st vaccination shot and even 1 shot seems to reduce the risk of death or serious illness from Covid by 80% plus. Fingers crossed: in a few months time we'll all be sat in the pub talking about how poo poo the last year's been and how glad we are that it's over now.
