look at it like this,the rules are if you have symptoms you go into isolation,you shouldn 't be on public transport or anywhere else outside,the WHO(according to our medic) says no so that should be good enough
You have said it reduces the distancing down to one foot,that goes against world wide advice,the adv ice is not to use them because people relax and that is the last thing the world needs everybody to do

Well you would be right if you couldn't spread the disease before you showed symptoms. Sadly this is not the case with Coronavirus.
People can be totally asymptomatic and still spread it. People who get it can spread it before they show symptoms and public transport is the place where it really spreads.
There is a reason why London is virus central in the UK.

i understand your point of view completely but if the medics say no then i am fine with that
how are you feeling today ?

My simulation modelling his possible reasoning has finished. It says 'There is an overwhelming chance GD is positing that it's the uniform trajectory is due to massive spread of the virus, hundreds of millions of unrecorded asymptomatic infections, and we're all gonna be immune by July'

We better bloody hope so.

Think I’ll get my old boss to send me some N10 respirators down, they should do the trick.
 
That is interesting they are now counting nursing homes


France deaths increase by 1,120

The number of deaths has risen to 6,507 from 5,387.

France measures the number of deaths in both hospitals and nursing homes


Hancock: Two new Nightingales will be built in Bristol and Harrogate
Hospitals in Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow are already being built

I wonder if we will keep this new hospital capacity,looking at the design of the area with the beds(nightingale) it just doesn't look like it is feasable after this emergency,it is essentially a vast open plan area,it would cost a fortune to heat amongst other things

I have a question. Sorry if it's already posted. Is there a risk if you just go outside with no one being around? Like there are many reports which say the virus can live upto 3 hours in the air but can it spread that way?

Chances are it'll be a smaller viral ose, which most will be able to fight off, but it's why they want the really vulnerable to remain indoors.

Whilst on the face of it, that may be worrying (as to how many may need ICU), the plus part is that it seems that no one will do without ventilator support that needs it. What happened in Italy and Spain with 60+ people having theirs taken off them for younger patients whilst sedated was beyond words, if understandable.

I think the main thing is keeping Covid patients away from the other hospitals. Pooling the resources is obviously massively important too, there's not point having 10 ventilators at each hospital in the country and constantly moving them around, but one of the things the Chinese did that really helped stop the spread was separate their hospitals into covid only and anything but covid.

It's just too infectious and people in hospitals are the most vulnerable to dying from it. It also massively reduces the exposure of the nurses and doctors not working on covid wards.

They're temporary hospitals, of course they're not keeping them.

You think UWE and the Excel centre were just being changed to hospitals forever?
