Was asking my hospital about a date about getting back to work , then read the news about the 100,000 deaths awful and thought it' can be difficult just to stay safe at this time , I decided not to ring back like we had arranged and reflect on this ,, just awful news which we knew was coming

Stay safe everyone

It is a grim milestone Stewie, one that the UK can't be proud of.

If you're thinking of returning to work I assume you've had your two shots of vaccine? My godson on vaccinating duties himself has had only the first, while his sister a radiographer has had both shots. Don't know which vaccines they got.

Really, clinically vulnerable people like us should not have to work at the moment, or should at least have had their level of neutralising antibodies measured before being cleared for work.

Hi yes it's really a grim number , your right I've only had the one shot at the moment , I was not going into my old roles on the wards etc it was a room on my own answering the switchboard for the hospital , each day open up wipe everything down etc but no date was set and I did not phone back , After our vaccinations Measuring Neutralising antibodies I'm not sure if they are doing this at the moment or being offered in my region . I was only considering it and putting it into perspective because my wife is an IV nurse going to patients each day and coming back home 🏡.
