COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[blueparrot]

Those numbers are only useful for telling you how bad the problem is likely to be in the future.

Deaths tell you how bad the situation has been up to the present.

Not as a daily figure and as a comparison with other countries they don’t.

Jean Claude Van Tan up now.

Sorry folks - I can't quite work out what the current R0 is? I've heard it as low as 0.6 to as high as 6.

Newest research by American CDC puts it at 5.7. That would mean 80% is needed for herd immunity.

 

[BosnianBlue]

This is the whole of New York State isn’t it, not just New York City?

New York State has more confirmed cases than any other country in the world.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

It’s just said this very minute on the news that “on average COVID-19 R0 is 2.5, whereas measles’ R0 is 30”.

On Horizon last night (which was very good) they stated that, following social distancing in the UK, it was now down to 0.62.

Briefing

Transport use is still at a low level

New cases of covid ,not full number still increasing

Patients in hospital steady increase but the curve is beginning to bend

Critical care patients evening out in london but going up elsewhere,we are not at the peak

Global death rates,we are broadly in line with other countries

 

[DWIFF]

Does anyone know where the drive thru testing centre is near the airport?

Has anyone used it yet?

There was something in the MUEN about a week ago, but it doesn’t give an exact location.

Thanks in advance.

Critical care patients evening out in london

Shouldn't be having a bloody evening out if they're critical ;-)

No. My sister-in-law wanted to use it but couldn't find any information out. Tried everything gov.uk, 111, GP surgery, there was nothing we could find. We wanted to know if an appointment was required and whether a none-frontline NHS worker was eligible.

It's in an Airport car park. All we found was the MEN articles

 

[johnmc]

Pretty sure it’s NHS only. Not sure if it open to all regardless of role though.

Doubt you can just turn up, you would probably need to be sent.

As long as their beds are 2 metres apart I can't see a problem

Newquay is nice today

Questions

PPE still not getting through,answer, people must use sparingly,enormous effort to get it disributed,hotline number for staff who have none

Question on boris ,does the government have the authority to take decisions ? Answer basically yes,they can make the decisions on lockdown etc based on science

Why are we letting people fly in without testing and quantene (sp) ?(as i have been asking) answer we follow the science,the US and italy did it and it hasn't made a difference (hmmm we didnt know that at the time)

Wearing face masks question,answer no,the frontline workers need them,WHO have said no need,they keep it under scientic review,there is no compelling science in favour

Question,how many drs and nurses have died,is there an investigation so others can avoid it

CNO

Can't give exact numbers for various reasons,family permission to talk about them

Yes we are trying to learn from them

Aren’t they the one group that wouldn’t need to be 2 m apart probably why they are all going together.

Not sure but I know you have to make an appointment and show your Id

 

[Mayor West]

Well theres a shit tonne of people out on my cul de sac, all going round to peoples houses for gatherings, and I'm not against saying they are all eastern Europeans.

Seems like people have had enough of lockdown for now

There's no excuse for not social distancing. You should know that
