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)

I think his point was that they followed scientific advice that banning travel wouldn't have stopped/slowed the virus and that this has been borne out by subsequent events in Italy and the USA where they did have a travel ban. Rather than the decision being based on events in Italy and the USA..

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

They're flawed figures, no doubt about it. But there's a difference between flawed and useless.

The death figures are the most useful metric in terms of telling you how many deaths have occurred up to that point in any given country. I'm sure we'll be understating our figures as will other countries but it's the best metric we've got to compare how bad we've been hit in comparison to other countries.

The fact that the WHO are using them and the UK Government are too suggests that they serve a useful purpose and looking at what they show, at this moment in time we look to have suffered worse than any other country in the world (in total, not per capita) bar Spain and the US (possibly Italy - depending on starting point) in the same stages of their outbreaks.

I wonder how many got through the net ?
As some have said and if you read the comments on the link you will see comments about atherstan road, the road is a ghetto and full of non English and do as they please. Many reports from local people saying that social distancing isnt been carried out there. We wont even do food delivery there as it's to dangerous

Yeah it's the employee car park terminal 3 from memory it's really clear when u get near by .

I had mine done on Wed at 1400hrs still waiting for results so it's not a quick turn around.

We were 7th in que and were there nearly 2 hours the actual test takes about 1 minute so Not sure why it took so long, am sure it will speed up with time .

Felt very safe though

You never know how many people live in some gaffs. I know of a family in Wythenshawe near my mate and there are 13 of them in one house.

But if you know how many usually live there, grass em up!

They aren’t the figures the government will use to determine the effectiveness of the current measures, the hospital and critical care ones are. Looks to have suffered worse in comparison to other countries is comparing apples and oranges there can be many reasons why.
Probably the death figures they do use if any will be those that have been properly analysed and assigned as in the graph @Gelsons Dad was posting, not the daily published ones thst make the headlines.
 
Question to CNO,how does it make you feel to see people not isolating?

Answer,Frontline staff are getting abuse for going out to work,very frustrating to see large groups out

Question,can you give any indications on lifting some restrictions?

Answer,no,we wont have the data we need till next week,based on admissions,critical care and deaths,have to be sure we have flattened the curve,can't give any dates,following the data

Question,what is the peak?

Answer,people are still getting the illness,there is a lag of numbers because patients can die after 2-3 weeks,have to have a very steady period in the data showing the high numbers past the peak

Question about testing and getting to 100,000,answer is the same as every day

Question,staff are complaining they are running out of oxygen,answer,unprecidented use of it as this is a respiratory illness and high numbers in hospital on ventilators,engineers are working hard,

Question,hearing about patients with other illnesses not getting any,answer,curently have capacity to treat all,drs decide on which patients need it according to their condition

Stay at home to reduce the stress on the nhs
