A tree in Tenerife in blossom with orange flowers. There's a block of flats behind and to the right. There are lower buildings to the side. The sky is blue and cloudless.

Delphi, 1 month ago to Health

Does #tories latest bad idea include a #cure for #longcovid or any of a thousand other debilitating conditions?
Of course not.
Luckily I don't have to claim #benefits as I 'languish' at home with #trigeminalneuralgia after 7 yrs training to get my #job. But just like those who have to claim, I'd jump at the chance to have my #health & #working life back.
More than any other #Government, this one is so deluded they all think they're #medical experts.

It hasn't happened yet but the offer of a paid for #covid vaccine is promised in the #UK

#Luctrative for the #seller. I wonder how many #Tories have a finger in that #profit margin.

If you're already living in #poverty now you'll have an extra worry. To #HeatOrEat we can now add or get #sick.

A #country I was once proud to belong to, now turns my stomach.

#inflation is overwhelming every area of our #lives. Even small #groceries increase10p each time you #shop. #Insurance, #Electricity, #gas, #fuel, & #rent all eyewatering.

Condolences to Dave Myers' family and friends.
He brought joy to so many and will live on in the many programmes he made with Si King.

I can find out more about the current #covid situation in #America than I can where I live🙁
Will the next #booster hit the right #variant? Most of us will not be entitled to another #vaccine anyway as they are being further restricted. Our #Government would rather throw #vaccines away than keep people #healthy.

Pandering to a lack of tenacity in society has become acceptable. Not universal as those with cancer & chronic illness show great determination. However, when it comes to supporting those suffering in #wars & public #health we read "does the #public still have the appetite for" &
"#pandemic fatigue" & there's acceptance of giving up or not bothering.
If those who went through #WWll had done this en masse many of us would never have been born. Has shared #survival instinct been lost?

Does the #UK now have the most #inhumane #SARS_COV_2 #policies in the #developed world?

"'bespoke, non-standard method of cost-effectiveness assessment' to inform priorities moving forward"
Plain #English translation: we don't care how #sick those excluded get as we'll have more #money than you can imagine by the time the full impact of repeated #covid #infections hits the #population.

We need a new #mattress, having got almost 2 decades out of the current one. What is the point in #bed #shops #selling online things you can't try in the #store? Today we were told (#instore) that "that one is #online only". If we can't test it out for 5 minutes we can't buy it. Do people really buy something that needs to last 5-years plus without even touching one? Haven't got the time or patience to risk a #returnable one.

My #grandparents worked on the #buses in the days when the #drivers cab wasn't accessible from the the rest of the #bus. They'd be shocked to know how dangerous working in #publictransport has become.

£2 #busfares probably don't tempt some people to give up a #car #journey because #behaviour has become so bad. #Violent #youths & adults appear to be commonplace in the #news now.
