COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[kaz7]

Evidence is currently pointing at immunity for 1 year - life time. the cases of reinfection reported a few weeks back seem to be more that the virus can linger in some people so they had false negatives and were given the all clear when they were not.

Thanks,i am finding this guy very helpful to follow

My son is due to get married next week, the venue refused any refund (several thousand pounds) for a cancellation or even a postponement.
Of the guests, several over 70's with diabetes, heart issues, crohn's etc., all advised to stay away. Several overseas guest who can't travel. Half a dozen kids with snotty noses and god knows what else. Even brides father (his only child) and me (my only son) are on the recommended no-go list. Some are saying just sod it, we all go and take our chances.

Just returned from local Tesco. Staff removing excessive items from some shopper's trollies. Big sign by the milk cabinet "2 Bottles Only", then some woman grabbing 8 and arguing with staff.
Some people's greed and selfishness!

They should ban the fucker for life,the bitch.

Of all this bullshit, it’s this that I’m struggling to get my head around the most.

The absolute ignorance of some human beings is fucking frightening.

Waste of fucking oxygen.

Its probably etched into their tiny brain cells ... "its can`t happen to me".

I am assuming i am not contageous but that is not clear or if i have immunity temporary or lasting so i am staying in

Aside from a lasting cough i just feel wiped out,i have ME and FIbro both of which is a lot about fatigue and exhaustion,neither likes serious illness or injuries,i am in relapse already with breaking bones so this is just just extra,from experience ir will take many months to get control of both of them

i don't care though,i feel blessed and lucky to have got through this illness at all

Keep masturbating Kaz it should make you feel better.First thing in a morning is best as I understand it.

The venues may not be in a position to offer refunds on cancellations but would have thought postponement is viable. It’s in both parties interests. The wedding ultimately goes ahead with all guests attending and the venue keeps the cash during what will be a difficult few months. If the venues insurers get Govt to underwrite losses then refunds will likely come available if postponing isn’t ultimately possible. Does depend on the venues, their financial health, insurance etc.

Chief exec of the NHS at the select commmitee now,on sky and bbc

Adult acute beds 98,000 in england,trying to sort it for 30,000 of those to be available for corona

3700 critical care adult beds in england,the modelling shows that we should have enough critical care beds but this changes by the day

A lot of reorganisation going on,moving and discharging patients,opening up new areas in the NHS and finding staff,also organising things like ventilators etc



Elective operations cancelled

Be lots of patients being ferried all over the country if they require a critical care bed, I imagine London will be very short of having availability for local people.

Some Brexit good news :)

‘Emergency stockpile of masks, gowns, hazmat suits, PPE equipment that were built up for a no deal Brexit were never reduced Hunt tells committee’

Struggled to answer the question put by Jeremy Hunt. Are the number of ventilator equipment announced yesterday going to be enough based on your modelling ?

Might be interesting to the science nerds on here.

Key conclusion: the ICL study "underestimates the benefits of a lockdown."

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Looks like we can expect 550-600 cases tomorrow and up to 2.5k overall. Tracking exactly as expected. Always looked like we’d be on 5k this weekend. 20k the weekend after. And that’s just confirmed cases.

30-50k actual cases right now, so 480-800k cases by the end of March, depending on whether we are at the higher or lower end of estimates right now. With 5% needing intensive care, so that’s between 24,000 and 40,000 needing ICU beds by the end of the month. Yet we currently have 5,000 ventilators with the majority already in use. You can see why they are saying less than 20,000 deaths would be a great result for the nation.

We need an immediate plan to make sure social distancing is undertaken by everyone, and to do whatever it takes to make it possible for some businesses to change production towards ventilators. And also a huge push to test as many people as physically possible.

could that just be the use of 'infections'? COPD/asthma aren't infections, are they?

No, COPD is a chronic illness.

If they cut out the waffle and answered questions straight then these programmes would be half the time they currently are.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Are the briefings at a set time each day? Do we know when today’s is?

I think they time it for when the LSE closes which would seem pretty sensible to me.

Working from home from today and I had the best days work in years. Nice and quiet, not having to drag myself out of bed and sit in an hours traffic both ways, not having to pretend I like the people in the office, get to shit on your own toilet. It's the future.

But having to use your own toilet roll. There's the rub- if you will. ;-)
