Re: Coronavirus
I get it in today’s context but it really makes things blurry down the line. What other medical history will be required going forward just to earn a living? Do you expect people carrying HIV to make sure they declare it to their boss? Or someone who missed their TB jab when they were 12? Hpv can be spread and cause someone cervical cancer, should that be declared before a team photo in the pub?Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 6:52 pmFair enough that if you arent vaccinated to prove you're not carrying a deadly virus before coming to work imo.Currywurst and Chips wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 5:27 pm Yanks mandating vaccines or weekly tests and masks at work for every employee at a company with over 100 staff or you're sacked

Re: Coronavirus
I'll be surprised if there isn't a legal challenge along the way somewhere.
NHS workers sign a contract, and if there's nothing about being vaccinated in that contact, I can't see how someone can be sacked for not having vaccines.
It's a very dangerous road the government of this and other countries are taking us down here.
It gives authorities control over us, in a way that had never happened before in democracies.

Re: Coronavirus
Yes, it is. The time for pandering to these dimwits is over. It will probably cause problems in the short-term for the sector, but that will sort itself out eventually. It also provides those that are not selfish arseholes an even greater opportunity to unionise and negotiate better terms.Story of O wrote: ↑Wed Nov 10, 2021 7:21 pmMaybe, but is this the right way to solve this.Max B Gold wrote: ↑Wed Nov 10, 2021 7:00 pmIt's ridiculous that they are working with the most vulnerable without being fully vaccinated.Story of O wrote: ↑Wed Nov 10, 2021 6:39 pm The already under staffed care sector will be hit even harder after midnight when care staff have to be vaccinated or lose their jobs.

Re: Coronavirus
I've now spent most of the afternoon so far reading up on B.1.1.529 instead of boarding or working, FFS.
The good news is that variants pop up all the time but then sink back down into obscurity. Hopefully this will be one of those. Because the bad news is, if it doesn't, this could be even more transmissible than Delta and evade both vaccine and natural immunity. And the early signs are not good.
