Only up just over 20 on yesterday though, so hopefully is starting to slow down. Cases down, which hopefully is a good sign.

don’t really see how you can make an analysis of cases ‘cases down’. Barely anyone has been tested.

it was said that confirmed cases should be Ten times higher at minimum.

These journos are desperate to get a policed lockdown soundbite.

Do you have an infection rate in mind,a number that would trigger relaxing of lockdown?

No exact number,we are constantly learning,key to find the number of people positive but not having symptoms,every country needs that number

Higher rate in different area of the country?

Not unusual pattern for spread of viruses but cant be exact

Self employed?

Self employed measures under constant monitoring

Demographic on compliance? Ventilator question?

Compliance does vary,youngest lower level of compliance,need to get the message through more

Longer people comply the more ventilators we will have time to get,constantly looking for both types of ventilators,we have kept ahead of demand as of now,same with bed capacity

The rest of the nhs is continuing as normal

Absolute vermin - the Govt should confiscate the equipment that is on site and requisition it for continued patient use and kick these fucking leeches out of the NHS and never let them return

Just had a text from Tesco mobile to say calls between 20.00-08.00 won't effect any contracts, won't matter to me as I use WhatsApp mainly but well done Tesco.

Underlying condition could be anything, that’s the worry. People have died with high blood pressure, diabetes and lots with no health problems at all

It’s awful

Doctor

Public moving around figures show people are sticking to the rule

Re inforced messages on staying in,repeated a lot

Cases up but more stable

Hosp admission rates for covid in london stable,up in other places though

Deaths continue to be high,likely stay going up for a week or two more


Questions

What will the gov do to make sure people stay at home?

By consent ,are other measures,police powers etc,beg people to observe the rules,it will work,we can save each others lives

Indications today people are staying in

By the end of may a losening of lockdown?

We are still learning ,this is a new virus,things will become clearer as we go along,trying first to get on top of the spread,that is critical,then we can talj about next steps

Any heart from flattening of hosp admissions?

Over days and weeks,reduction in infection,hosp admissions and deaths ,we are not at max effect from the lockdown yet,some hope but must carry on the same

Care home in glascow ? Not tested,their deaths will not be counted,how much higher is the death toll that we dont know abot?

We record deaths in hospitals and are starting to report about community,the death toll is higher

(Dodged the question a bit i feel)

Claiming universal credit?

Welfare system under review,people not able to look for work but many are volunteering

Is the money enough?

Constantly under review ,

How and when lockdown will end,how will it be done? Herd immunity? Antibody transfusions?

Depends on compliance,the more people observe it,no fixed date or firm plan,this is a new situation and fluid,much more how we manage the infections long term

Immunity one part of it,vaccines,existing drugs all important tools,need to learn about immunity as we go along

Are most people expected to get it?

See above answer,it is too early into a new virus to say

People going to testing sites,lots of red tape stopping people getting tested,what can you do about it?

It is for only nhs workers,gove will sort it out,thank you for reporting,testing being done at hosps as well

5g masts spreading disease?

Nonsense,rubbish,fake news,our emergenyy services need the masts to respond

We record deaths in hospitals and are starting to report about community,the death toll is higher

(Dodged the question a bit i feel)

Think he doesn't want us to think there killing the oaps off,even if they are..

It’s all relative though isn’t it. There are clearly more people with it or who have had it, probably millions but the numbers not going through the roof based on consistent levels of testing is clearly a good sign. People were quick enough to use it as analysis when the numbers were going up or when coming up with a death rate.
