Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

This is not a new take. How do you cocoon the elderly/at risk? We haven't even managed to keep care homes safe. Until you can square that circle we are where we are.

It is a new take because it is based on factual data. Everything preceding it was conjecture at best.

Re: Coronavirus update

The factual data during the lockdown is still really bad though. The economy would have been best protected if something was done earlier, so now we have 2 or 3 months of this to stop loads of people dying and hope that the governments manage the economy as best they can by allowing relaxing of the restrictions when possible.

The arguments haven't changed. There have been 20,000 deaths in a month despite the lockdown, that would have been worse without it.

Can’t believe this thread has been going since the 10th of March and no one has thought of the economy until now!

Re: Coronavirus update

No longer required because it was extremely ill though out and badly managed.

And not because they now have enough ventilators?

Re: Coronavirus update

If the global economy crashes people will die in the hundreds of millions. Until you can square that circle we are heading towards an unprecedented catastrophe of epic proportions.

You really have no clue do you. You advocate for something and then when someone presses you for detail you turn into a manchild.

100s of millions?

Factual data as opposed to 'unfactual' data?

You have posted links to academic papers on covid over the last few months, are you saying they were conjecture?

Do you think you will be one of them to die ?

Re: Coronavirus update

Mark Drakeford says there has been an "overwhelming response" from Welsh companies offering to make personal protective equipment (PPE).

"We have had almost 1,000 enquiries and offers to date, half of these have been about PPE or medtech," the first minister said.

"We can’t simply rely on supplies from overseas – we have to have a homegrown supply of essential equipment.

"As part of our ongoing efforts to build up local businesses to make more of the everyday goods we use in Wales, we’ll be looking at how we can make more of the PPE we need closer to home".

"For the first time, we are self-sufficient in scrubs in Wales – we’re making 5,000 a week, bringing back overseas jobs and anchoring them in our Welsh economy."

"We have been very fortunate that we’ve had enough PPE in Wales but two items – masks and fluid-resistant gowns – are under the most pressure."

Bit of Welsh news.

Wasn’t organ banging on about it from the start? Lots of people are still working, everyone I know anyway, hotels, bars, anything to do with tourism taking a hit for sure, shops will be open in a few weeks I guess?

Everyone was banging on about it from the start, I was being sarcastic.

It was a mistake to clear out the elderly from the hospitals and put them into care homes, as many were carrying the Covid-19 virus. I don't have the exact figure, but this group account for a large percentage of UK deaths.

Where did hospitals get cleared out to move people to care homes?
