Nurses return their small, honey-flavoured cake with "thanks" for their Jinping Plague efforts.
Fik honningkager som tak - nu leverer sygeplejersker dem tilbage - TV 2
Monday 21st 43F, another grey day but with a slight threat of sunshine later according to the professional seaweed fondlers. 7.30 and still well over an hour to dawn. It remained leaden overhead as I walked to the lanes.
The headwind was a bit of a nuisance but not very cold. A few heavy lorries went past but there were very few cars. The only bird of prey was a small thing flying in high speed circles. For no apparent reason at all.
The news is full of woe and thrice woe about the UK mutation of Jinping Plague. Reports of Italy and other countries having already having identified cases of the new mutation. Can the knee-jerk lemmings be corralled before the vaccine is refused by the rest of the weakly rumour swayed? Queue here for your Darwin Awards. There will be a very long wait due to excessive demand.
Unemployment and infections soar to new heights in the DSA. As the smug, fat cats in charge of rescuing the desperately poor and newly homeless families, quibble over the exact details of the taxpayer's handout. It must be hell working on the gravy train!
Those who work and have worked on the front line in the Danish health service have received different rewards. Some nurses have agreed a bonus to be paid monthly. I suppose this will avoid the usual Danish habit of slapping extremely high taxes on any such payments. Just as they slapped high taxes on the nation's holiday money. Paid out prematurely to "stimulate the pandemic hit economy." Dugh? Say what? Dogh.
Guess what? The Danish Capital's front line nurses received a small, mass-produced, heart-shaped cake with "thanks" written on it. This, for working under extremely arduous conditions at great personal risk to themselves, their families, friends and their own, long term health.
It must be remembered that there was little, if the any known treatment at the start of the Jinping Plague. There wasn't even enough protective wear for front line workers at times. Health workers were getting sick and they were dying.
The capital's nurses are now collecting all the cakes together and taking them back to the heartless person [temporarily] in <cough> charge of the capital's nursing <cough> decision making.
How long this particular, heartless, no doubt massively overpaid, numbskull remains in their "over-qualified" position is unknown. Perhaps they have a future career in massively overpaid, toilet cleaning?
Like the "entitled" overpaid, multimillion-salaried boss of a household name, British retail company. Who sacked all the private cleaners at the start of the pandemic. Then told the counter staff to clean all of the firm's toilets.
For those who question the cost of such a "generous" gift to the nurses? £1.70 per nurse. Oh, and new work rosters were posted along with the [heart shaped] message of "thanks."
