The old myth that running is bad for your knees. It isn’t unless you have a condition. What you may not have is tendons ready for the effort or the right supporting muscles. These can be worked on.
Most layoffs are happening in growth businesses that aren’t even profitable on paper. Apple, make things, things people want and quite often need. they are a solid business that are unlikely to suffer much in a short term tightening of people’s finances interest rate rises.
It does but it doesn’t mean you get any treatment available. They carefully make decisions on what treatments they can/should provide. This may be offered eventually but at the moment it’s a case of be very fat and get offered gastric sleeve or just be overweight and no treatments are offered other than advice about losing weight
You need to realise that weight bearing exercises (this means running, walking etc) are good for bone health. Low impact activities like cycling don’t give your bones the right stimulus to stay strong. And as the other commenter has said, the impact damage is probably in the minds of people who say that running does then damage but in reality it doesn’t do damage, it is actually a benefit to bones and joints.
NHS is focused on the appropriate allocation of resources to the problem. It strikes an excellent balance of doing the right work when necessary and based on probabilities. If you have evidence that the process recommended by the nhs is failing patients in statistically significant numbers I would agree with you on them not doing enough tests but frankly, I think NHS would perform very well if it was adequately resourced (it’s currently starved of necessary funding).
The NHS follows a strict set of guidelines for the identification and treatment of illnesses. They do not act like medical businesses such as hospitals whose goal is to do as much testing as they can justify to get more money from insurers.
I thought this post was going to show me something profound but it’s clearly a surface level idea without any real knowledge of the topic. Human error comes in many forms and from a safety perspective we want to identify what impacts human error will have and then work to reduce the risk associated with each one to as low as is reasonably practicable.
Process design, interface design, organisation and manning, ergonomics etc all play a role.
It is inevitable that a human will make an error, with a well designed system it should be very very hard for them to do so.
The thing is, the rules established at the start worked. Then they got loosened, things got worse, then they back pedalled to tighten up again. They already knew what would work back in March 2020. I always think of bill gates explaining how to prepare for a pandemic and how this advice should have been followed from the start. The rules imposed at the start worked and should have been only slightly modified with a tightening on borders and people movement. Planes should have been a no go unless for freight, likewise for tranpsort via ferry. But the uk just opened everything up over the summer, everything felt normal which obviously meant the virus would spread like normal. Then bam, it’s winter and we’ve killed 80000.
