Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

Isn't this a case where the initial symptoms of Covid had dispersed but the damage caused by the virus were still present? The two people I know who had Covid months ago are still not back to full health.

in normal circumstances yes, but this guy has been in and out of hospital with pneumonia for a few years ( and actually caught covid while being in for pneumonia ), so i think the family thought pneumonia would have been the cause of death

Re: Coronavirus update

There are also thousands not counted as Covid deaths who passed away 28 days after being diagnosed. Im sure many of those still passed away as a result this virus had on their body.

Re: Coronavirus update

Just been listening to a scientist on the radio saying that this "moonshot" scheme could feasibly work, but it just sounds so Johnson doesn't it? An announcement made about some grandiose scheme, stacks of media coverage and then, just as with the tracing app and the world beating track and trace system, it fizzles out into either mediocrity or non existence. When he was Lord Mayor of London, they were vanity projects which had little effect on people's lives, but the stakes are completely different now and people's lives are at stake.

When has one of Johnson's predictions regarding Covid been shown to be correct? He and his party still enjoy the support of millions, but I would suggest that, when it comes to the virus, they do not have the confidence of the country because of a combination of bungling and the clear breach of trust created by the Dominic Cummings episode.

The devolved Governments of the other home countries appear to have retained the trust of most people and back in March when Johnson addressed the country about the virus, polls showed that a large majority were behind him, but now the reaction will be different I feel - on Tuesday, a Government Minister admitted to the Commons that Johnson's Government were proposing to break international law when it comes to Brexit and a day later he's threatening people with fines if they do not obey laws that come in on Monday, it's not a good look.

I agree with you, this moonshot thing will never ever happen. 10 million tests a day? Give it a rest

It's the video with a man from Rotherham talking about his recent experience in a supermarket.

Merthyr on the brink they keep saying.
Scotland have now implemented the 6 people rule aswell. I wonder if Drakefords planning the same? Its tricky as all the hotspots are the central valley areas where as the rest of Wales seem to be fine.

Re: Coronavirus update

Due to an increasing number of positive COVID-19 cases and to prevent a future lockdown, Council Leaders in Merthyr Tydfil & Rhondda Cynon Taf are asking all residents to take action now to avoid the need for a formal local lockdown in the near future.

The voluntary actions requested from residents, which are recommended with immediate effect, and include:

• Only using public transport for essential purposes, which includes travel to education, work, essential medical appointments, shopping and visiting supermarkets;
• Working from home for the next few weeks if you are able to do so. Actively seek the support of all employers to ensure that those that can work from home do so;
• Wearing three layer face coverings or masks, where it is safe to do so, whilst in work, in supermarkets and other indoor or crowded public spaces (recommended for age 12 and over);
• Do not visit care homes, unless it is an end of life visit where full PPE will be required.

Both Councils have made clear that Schools will remain open and home to school transport will continue to operate in accordance with the latest Public Health Wales guidance.

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and the two local authorities are recommending for residents and family members in households who were previously part of the NHS Shielding Scheme, to ask their employers if it is practical to work from home. Residents are also urged to assess the risks associated with their day to day life and avoid, where possible, crowded public places, particularly indoor public spaces. This Advice does not mean the NHS Shielding Scheme, at this time, is restarting.

Both Councils are already taking action to ensure all large supermarkets, retail stores and licensed premises adhere to the Coronavirus Regulations that seek to control, minimise and prevent the risk of exposure to Covid 19. South Wales Police continue to actively enforce current Wales-wide covid-19 regulations with residents, alongside the Councils’ environmental health teams.

Re: Coronavirus update

the cases they've had in Scotland have not been associated with schools though. the few cases they've had in schools have been teachers who have caught it elsewhere transmitting it to other teachers

The wife’s a teacher. If she comes home with a cough...

Just read that cases of gonorrhoea in UK are highest since records began!

Some people are definitely not 'social distancing'

I think many died with the virus rather than of the virus.

However as you say many others died more than 28 days after being diagnosed at least partially because of the efect of the virus.

I suppose in the months and years to come attempts will be made to clarify the figures.

Went shopping in the Co op in Treorchy this morning, and saw little evidence of compliance with the request to wear masks - about 20 per cent of customers maybe, I think people will have to be told that they have to wear masks.
