Nobody is rowing, your posts are an integral part of this thread. What next, people checking each others spelling. Everyone is as important as each other that's what makes this forum what it is. Kaz has put some very important and enlightening stuff on here as a sufferer of covid and I'm sure it has helped many of us over the last few months.

Checking spelling and grammar.

You need a question mark after the word 'spelling' in your post.

Covid: 'Convalescent plasma no benefit to hospital patients'

Donations of plasma from people who have recovered from the virus have been suspended.

Its a shame this doesnt appeared to have worked.

My daughter says it isn't given early enough in hospital. If it was given when an at risk patient first became ill it would have benefit by slowing down disease onset and giving the patients own reduced efficiency immune system time to fight the disease. The volume of antibodies in plasma isn't sufficient to do the job once hospitalised. She has great hope for the much more concentrated monoclonal antibodies that are on the way for trial next month.
 
at work today as we do work in the salford area we have been offered the vaccine as we are in vulnerable peoples houses every day unbelievably two people have refused it one saying he will trust his own immune system and the other despite having been a coke head in his time says he wants to know whats going in his body.
 
England regions hospital data:

This is not good news for the North West or South West.


East - patients down 37 to 4266 // Ventilators up 7 to 381.

London - patients down 29 to 7811 // Ventilators up 21 to 1184.

Midlands - patients up 91 to 5890 // Ventilators up 38 to 570. Both records here and Midlands is struggling.

NE/Yorkshire - patients up 129 to 3584 // Ventilators up 12 to 284.

North West - patients up 127 to 4039 // Ventilators up 20 to 363. Biggest rises for the two northern regions on the day and first time ever over 4000 for NW and 1000 up on highest in first wave. Ventilators also now more than ever in the first wave.

South East - patients up 41 to 5528 // Ventilators up 8 to 497

South West - patients up 115 to 2244 // Ventilators up 12 to 185. Both by some way new record highs and for such a small region a real concern.

With bitter irony the region Boris cited as why we had tiers not a full lockdown in late Summer when SAGE asked for one. He said it would be unfair to punish areas with such good records as this.

Both here and Merseyside which was exempted on similar grounds have since ended up paying for that decision.

A friend of my wife who is a community nurse covering parts of Bolton won't have the vaccine as in her mid 50s she has become a militant vegan. As all vaccines were tested on animals she won't have one. I'm struggling with her logic as all the drugs she dishes out are also tested on animals.

A nurse not considering those around her? World's gone mad. Selfish sod.

Patients are being relocated from high infection areas to regions with bed space. Which may account for some leap in numbers.
