One thing we chatted about a lot a couple of weeks back, but I’ve not seen any posted figures on (on here I mean), is our current ICU capacity Vs the amount of people needing such care.

Do we still have “spare” capacity?

they said yes and in addition the new hospital in London will be ready by the end of the week to provide additional capacity

Plenty, close friend started 3 days ago on what was the children’s ward, got more people with flu/pneumonia etc. No covid on the overflow ward.

Can you explain, coz not really is neither yes or no, it’s a debate. Are you infatuated with me.

I`ll let you into a secret.Having looked at the number of posts between us,today only,this is now my 5th response to you.You too also have 5.However you were the first one of us to respond to a post I sent to A.N.Other so who the fuck is infatuated first ??
By the way you need to make your fucking mind up about either being shocked by the figures regarding the number of deaths or not.I suggest you look at you own post, #25005 page 2501 where YOU claim you are not shocked !! WELL MAKE YOUR FUCKING MIND UP ONE WAY OR THE OTHER SUNSHINE !!!!
I am NOT interested about the large increase as thats not part of any discussion I`ve had with you.

I think a few posters reputations have died a death on this thread. Friendships made over years have been lost in a matter of weeks.
Thankfully, others threads aren't suffering the same fate.
When this is all over, i hope a few people take the time to reread their posts and then take the time to apologise to those they have bad mouthed or insulted.
I don't care how bad things get, there is no excuse for some peoples behaviour.
All you are doing is showing how weak you are at dealing with a crisis, and then taking it out on others...

Cheers gents. Some decent news there then.

The government has said there are now 25,150 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK

https://news.sky.com/story/coronavi...-after-testing-positive-for-covid-19-11966273

What is our death rates as a % ?

It's about 5 4% on reported cases but that's farcical as cases could be 5/10/15/20 times the numbers reported (which are critical cases).

Best to look at the deaths per million of the population which is a column on the worlometers site country counts:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

We are currently 26.
Italy is 206, Spain is 177, Belgium and the Netherlands are 71 France is 54, Switzerland 46 and Luxemburg is 37.
