COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Cityfan]

4462 in total. There have been about 300,000 cases in the last four weeks. Where have the other 295,000 come from or don’t they have a clue ?

Mainly gyms Pubs and swimming pools with a few on the golf course I believe,

More than any thing else it shows just how little they know about the spread of the disease.
’Following the science‘.... follow my arse.

Looks like a late night or not at all with the data today.

May have to check after the match.

Can't help thinking that yesterday's unusually low figures might be related to today's delay.

Whitty says 'some evidence' of a slowing in North East and North West but when things double 'you move from a few to many cases very quickly'.

He's right but unless they close schools it's still going to happen - even if R is around 1.

So UK deaths today are 263 - only a small rise in the week from 254. Which might suggest - alongside the stalling case numbers - that we are turning a corner.

Tuesday is usually the highest number as weekend catch up occurs.

My daughter tells me the Trump drug cocktail has started to be rolled out over the last 3 or 4 days so that maybe a helping hand

Yes and you’ve pointed this out many times.

Conversley Kaz never points out that people are dying through other causes but are being put down as covid deaths. Its always the bleakest picture possible that is painted.

Comon Healdplace, gimme some sugar!

What a farce - an hour ago the gov uk site said it was updating and don't refresh for 15 minutes. Now it says it was last updated on an invalid date! And is still showing yesterdays data.

If this was a one off it would be amusing. But it isn't sadly.

Whatever is going on it has nothing to do with missing data given that silly message.

'Dangerously flawed, impractical and ethically really difficult' - is how Whitty described the plan proposed by some scientists to shield the vulnerable and let the less vulnerable live as normal as they choose.

He said it is based on the false premise of herd immunity which 'never occurs'.

And impractical as Britain has a high level of 'multi generational households'

In addition to that, according to the list of underlying issues defined by Robert-Koch-Institute 21.9m Germans would belong to the vulnerable group. (Merkel was even talking about 30% being vulnerable.)

Shielding such a group against the other 60m is impossible and no realistic option.

Because i dont know that , neither do you , they are cooking the figures clearly , to be as low as possible , which blows your theory

THIS IS ALL THEY HAVE SHOWN ON SCREEN FOR PAST HOUR AS TWITTER DELIGHTS IN TELLING EVERYONE


We are launching a new version of the dashboard. We welcome your feedback on the experimental release of the new service.

We are updating the data…

The process takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Please do not refresh the website until Invalid date.

Last updated on ">Invalid date


Does not matter that they are obviously not fiddling the data. Of course they are not that stupid. The fact is this looks amateurish and creates that concept as a possibility because it keeps happening.

If a government cannot run a website properly then how can it run a country is a question people are bound to ask.

Sweden is increasing its restrictions after cases doubled from 9000 to 18,000 in two weeks.

Over what period is that? A month as it's certainly not a day?

deaths are so low there still. But still not as low as China. China hasnt a single covid death since mid April and thats with the worlds biggest population and a health spend a tenth of the European average. truly remarkable. And some on here even believe those figures. lol

Two weeks is usually 14 days. Though in today's universe, who knows?

I do know, its comon knowledge Kaz. you just choose to ignore it. Same reason you churn out the 28day stuff every week.

 

[squirtyflower]

Seems an irony that trying to become a patient means having to be patient

Hardly any cleaning? I’d suggest you change the establishment you frequent sir.

12 month contract sadly

Link ? The 28 day stuff is fact , they changed it lol, people stay on ventilators for months , it causes the damage so if it doesnt kill you straight away it is still on the certificate as the contributing factor as it was that brought about the damage that kills you , they work back from cause of death back to what made you ill, unless it is over 28 days obvs , if i die of the asthma it has given me would i be counted? Who knows

Not tonite josephine , games and elections to watch

18k cases over 2 weeks is only just over 1000 a day, hardly a disaster. Their additional measures are you can only have 8 at a table in a restaurant. Does anyone remember those days here?
