I don't think it would be madness not to demand proof of negative results.Depends what the service is. The service I'm talking about above is respite care, whereby my dad goes into a home for a week or two to give my mum a break. She's theoretically entitled to four weeks a year. It's been a struggle for her not to have that along with the day centre closed and theoretically supposed to be shielding (she mostly hasn't been shielding, but that's for the parenting your parents thread).
For that service, it would be madness not to demand negative covid tests before admittance tbh. Iirc they're asking for two negative results, a few days apart, before admittance.
Funny that when I had my wisdom teeth out over 25 years ago they wanted to only take 3 of them out as the 4th could be problematic yet it was that specific tooth that was causing the problems. I told them to take all of them out or not to bother. They did take them all out.
Last year, any respite care my dad could have had would have involved him being in prison, essentially. Confined to his room for the full two weeks. It's not about abandoning all protection measures, but it is about being able to relax extreme measures such as confinement to your room and limited human contact that themselves cause harm - eg for dementia patients, it is proven that reducing human contact causes an acceleration in cognitive decline.
If course treatment can be negotiated. But you cannot demand it.
You're not actually saying anything at all here, are you?
How many?
I am. You cannot demand treatment that the NHS is unwilling to provide.
Well no shit, Sherlock.
Up to quarter. Google "Care Home unvaccinated". Mutiple recent news stories.
Replying to the person suggesting he forced the NHS to remove his wisdom teeth as if that proved anything.
Is this in Idaho and Colorado?
But that's not what I'm suggesting.
I think you've missed my point, though. Routine testing and ensuring vaccination are part of the process by which highly damaging protective measures can start to be relaxed. Extreme infection control measures themselves cause harm in a care home setting.
Doesn't stop someone looking and unless they were to disclose it how would anyone know.
You are misrepresenting what this guy saysDoesn't stop someone looking and unless they were to disclose it how would anyone know.
If patients aren't allowed to choose who treats them then what happens when someone is admitted due to domestic violence or sexual assault? Do they not have a choice to be not treated by male staff? Would you even stick them on a mixed ward?
If so I feel sorry for your patients.

Not sure how. If you can't choose who looks after you then you can't choose. I would hope most clinical environment would apply common sense in those situations.
What 'this guy' is saying is either wrong or so trivially true that it is not worth saying.
Which won't be helped if they are spreading the virus because they are unvaccinated and asymptomatic.
You think it's odd that someone who has been seriously assaulted or raped would be perfectly happy being physically handled during treatment by random males?
How do you pronounce that ?
