Re: Coronavirus update

69 years and, 364 days ok to go out.
69 plus 365 stay in you old twat.
There's no joined up thinking.
They want retired NHS to volunteer.
****ING JOKE.

They have to draw a line somewhere though, people just need to be sensible.

What would you rather them say?

Re: Coronavirus update

I work in medical devices, and the whole idea is fantasy. I can't see it happening in time to have any effect

judging the responses by officials today looks like we are in for a long haul not just for a few months

I guess medical equipment can be complex bits of kit to make . the only way I could see it work if say some one like Ford or JCB could assemble only .

meaning keep the same supply chain of parts like injection moulded parts , metal parts , wiring looms ,pcb's etc so you wouldn't have to re qualify those parts with a new supply chain . The supply chain would be the same but they would need to ramp up production to meet demand

Those parts be delivered to say someone like JCB and working with manufacturing engineers from medical device companys copy a production line or model it on an existing line to fully assemble the units

The completed units sent back to a medical device company for testing , software validation and sign off to meet the governance or requirements that is needed to put out into the field .

if we can put a man on the moon in the 60's ( so they say ) I,m sure we could knock up a producton line to meet the requirements that is needed over the next year . obviously a big ask but im sure we have the engineering capability in this country to pull this off after all this a life or death situation

Re: Coronavirus update

Na we are very close to a complete lockdown like France and Spain. End of this week things are going to look very different imo.

Can’t see it happening here, it’s not severe enough yet. Look at Cardiff county for ie, half a million people and just 10 cases is it?
Maybe in London which is bound to have worse but not here, not yet anyway.

There's going to be an expoential increase in cases unless something drastically changes. It's happened everywhere else.

The only reason London would have it worse is more people, as a percentage it's been pretty similar country wide.

First death and 30 more cases in Wales today. If each person with it only gives 1 person a day the virus we'd be pretty bad in just a week.

Two CONFIRMED cases. Which is a mistake I was making early in this thread.

China seem to have the situation under control - IF you believe their figures. I don't.

South Korea are testing more people than others, and their figures are coming down. Their mortality rate is at 1%. Italy's figures are spiralling northwards, France are now catching up.

I think the UK have a decent plan, but I have told my parents in their late sixties to stay home as much as possible.

They need to suspend the stock markets before we all lose our pensions.

This will still be with us in 6 months, possibly as a new wave of cases. The only hope is that lots of people have already had it and recovered with minor symptoms thereby meaning that there are not 2 cases in Cardiff county, but 2000.

If I get through this with loved ones and still in employment, I'll consider myself as having dodged a bullet.

We don't have the manufacturing capability though and yes, man did land on the moon,

Re: Coronavirus update

All staff in company told to WFH from tomorrow. There will be a rota for 1 person to go into the office each day. I WFH 3 days each week anyway but some staff permanently office based. Gawd knows when we’ll be back.

Today Wales had 17.5% of the UK new recorded cases. Overall of the 1543 UK cases Wales has 8% of the total, whilst only 5% of UK population. Why so high?

Re: Coronavirus update

Living in London and have been completely banned from the office now, all the gyms I use have been closed and I assume all bars and restuarants to follow.

Found it a bit eerie travelling home from London today. Noticeably quieter than last week.

Yeah the only way it would feasibly work is if a company is prepared to sell their design and let you copy their production line. Even then the supply chain is likely to be difficult, and the more you change from the existing state the more work it is, unless they are suggesting we seriously cut some corners.
But we are talking months and months at the minimum. We could need these in weeks if the worst forecasts are correct.

Patents can be declared void (I think by the government) for this type of situation.
