COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[ayrshire_blue]

Front page on Telegraph (so clearly coming from Gov) saying should be no issue with the AZ vaccine in UK, The extra study is for the FDA in the US. Phase 2 data proves it works in older people and should all be confirmed as fine in the Lancet shortly.

That's good news. Can we end the night like this or at least give it a week before everything goes to shite again?

P.s. I'm only up and down like a yoyo because I simply don't understand enough about how these things play out, so when I read shite news stories on the vaccine in a newspaper or wherever else, it's not so easy for me to see through it or really figure out what it's all based upon or why things might not be as bad as they seem. It's why I prefer posting it on here to see what people who seem to know a lot more than me makes of it, slightly reassuring.

I have no idea mate she looked it up online and was putting postcodes in. I try to avoid the news and all the hysteria because otherwise it drives me nuts. Every so often I have a wobble today is one of those days.

It will be Handofrth

Go to the gym, barbers, shops and places of worship, I think. Assuming you’re in a Tier 3 area, of course.

Not a problem and tell her thanks from me. But seriously not a problem. Easy assumption to make.

Hate sexism, didn't realise you are a chick though :-)

Its not the deaths.
It’s the availability of hospital beds and ICU units.
they are now being taken up by younger people.

So what is the current occupancy of the Emergency Nightingale wards? No figures shown, I'm guessing nil.
ICU units are not much higher occupancy than usual flu season.
Everyday the stats show people admitted into hospital -How many are discharged having recovered? Figures never shown.

Lancaster has lower cases than all but one London borough but they are in tier 3. Seems wrong.

How does Lancaster compare to Camden (89/100,000 cases)?

We can all pick out outliers.
