Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

Excel is being used to alleviate current pressure on other hospitals...

There's a different between short term spikes and longer term issues.

Yeah that's my point that fact we need them now shows the situation is bad, those spikes won't go away until there is a vaccine. We will have peaks and troughs but they will keep coming.

Re: Coronavirus update

I stocked up on a fair few things a couple of days ago - had virtue signaller have a go in the car park.

I was getting normal amount immediate family ( wife, kids, cats ) consume. Got some stuff for my mum, currently in self-isolation in sheltered accomodation. Also got stuff for some elderly residents in the street.

Still, I'm a "hoarding bastard"...

Those deliberately hoarding are idiots. Stores don't care, it's a sale.

Is it a need or is it a precaution? Tbh it's sensible to have suspected coronavirus victims isolated in separate hospitals from "normal" patients. Bugs often spread across wards due to staff and visitors not washing hands.

Mad that there are two people on here weird enough to use virtue signaller unironically then.

Re: Coronavirus update

We often hear about how the asymptomatic cases hide the true death rate but there is a good case to say that the same is true in balance for unidentified deaths. Interesting article from italy reporting that phenomenon

Ultimately it's the death rates of those without serious underlying conditions that will give us a truer picture, but what we don't know is how many people would die if we destroyed the global economy? I don't envy the people who are trying to predict the future, as the consequences of getting it wrong could be horriffic.

Why do you have such a problem with people who don't tell you what you want to hear? Even a person with the fate of the world in their hands is wrong according to you.

Re: Coronavirus update

Seems unreal to be reading things like this.
Birmingham Airport could become emergency mortuary

Birmingham Airport could be used as a temporary mortuary for up to 12,000 bodies in a worst-case coronavirus scenario after talks with several local councils.

Re: Coronavirus update

The coronavirus lockdown has led to big drops in air pollution across the country’s major cities....

Levels of toxic pollutants were likely to fall even further.... as traffic remained off the roads but prevailing westerly winds from the Atlantic returned.

The data shows drops in tiny particle pollution of a third to a half in London, Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff, falls of about quarter in Manchester, York and Belfast, with smaller declines in Glasgow and Newcastle. For nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution, the data also shows declines of a third to a half in London, Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff, and drops of 10-20% in the other cities.
