Masks are now required everywhere except your machine, never had to wear them before. Mask, safety goggles and a temperature of 38c in an old glass roofed Victorian mill with no opening windows was not nice. If they really wanted to protect their workers they should introduce some ventilation. Norman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But tonight I’ve had to deal with my cousin posting on Facebook wanting to take his own life with long Covid. 100 miles away, having to phone the police, get them round is not how I planned my night. Scary how it’s messing good people. Take it seriously please. Hope he's sorted now, David. There's a lot of help out there, but it often takes a crisis like this to access it.

David Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Yeah sorry about posting that, was just going out my mind and I guess hoping for any kind of suggestions. Got my Dad to ring his parents, couldn’t get through so rang the police. As I did that his mate turned up to the house followed by the police, wasn’t there which sent us all into panic more. His mate stayed at the house, ringing all his other mates. Rolled up to the house pissed out his face crying. I know he’s been struggling with long Covid, didn’t think it was that bad. Woke up to a message from him, no thanks but pissed off I got his parents involved and then blocked me. Nice. I know I did the right thing, one day he will realise that. What a mess. ramit and ariotofmyown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stepped.up and took action. It takes courage to do that. The part of him that posted on Facebook must have hoped for some help (because there are other ways to say goodbye), even if another part of him is angry that people intervened. Not saying he didn't intend to do it, but perhaps some doubt. Various serious situation, our mental health is also a public health crisis. Hope you are OK David, it's a very dark and disturbing world at times and our compassion is the only way to bring some light. ramit and ariotofmyown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said to my missus, this is a cry for attention, but you have to treat it with genuine intent, if you don’t and he went through with it, I would be left asking myself questions for a number of years. Unfortunately I think we will see suicide numbers go up due to this pandemic, the Humber Bridge had to temporarily close for pedestrians, they had security 24/7 at both ends due to an increase in suicides off the bridge. Has the pandemic, the way it’s been handled created new mental health issues, or has it pushed those who were already struggling over the edge. The impact will be discussed for years, maybe our lifetimes. I don’t envy anyone on both sides of the government. I’m fine though thanks, I have no doubts I did everything right, and I’d do the same again tomorrow. 1967Ram, ariotofmyown, angieram and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download the NHS app on your phone, not the Covid app, just the NHS. Once logged in, it’s there on the Home Screen, get your Covid pass. Inside you will have travel or domestic use, select domestic use and you will have a barcode. You can just show the barcode or print it off, but each barcode only lasts 30 days and will refresh Carnero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the point of that. I thought it just proved I was double jabbed. If I'm that now, it's hard not to be that in 31 days time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d guess it’s because at some point you will need a booster jab, so your Covid pass isn’t indefinite. It’s just a license you can use until they tell you to have another jab. The official reason will be something to do with GDPR. ketteringram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
