Well it's been said,that a certain age group won't be treated/ respirator even won't be taken to hospitals
No help for care homes,and they haven't been classing there deaths as there not in hospital,if out off say 700 deaths 500 were oaps every day I would be very concerned worked all there lives and get fked off ,yet some fking slag 6kids to 6 different guys never worked gets looked after.
No it hasn’t been said a certain age group won’t be treated, hence some very old survivors released from hospital. What was said was if we allow the nhs to be overwhelmed and run out of ventilators those decisions may need to be made , not just on age,. We are not at that point yet and hopefully we wont’t be.
 
There is hope a mate of mine who is 70 and fibrosis has just come out of intensive care and is at home I couldn't believe it he smokes like a chimney has the lung desiese and has cracked it.

Although it was touch and go at times
Mental isn't it. Worth remembering cases like these whenever we sway towards fatalism about the point of using resources to treat high-risk cases.
 
Can’t speak for care homes anywhere else but the 2 near me went into lockdown about 3 weeks before the rest of them, No visitors deliveries left at the door. Even so the policy may have been wrong but it wasn’t intentionally to kill people. the poster said, they are killing oaps off’ like it was a policy.
Only in hindsight will we know if it was wrong,i have been really vocal about the herd immunity and the failure to lockdown the vulnerable groups long before we did,it was clear to me the vulnerable were somewhat of a sacrifice,that might have been my own fear coming out to put it that way bu that was my view,the medics and the gov have to pick the plan which kills the least people,some are going to be on the wrong end of that decision but that is the reality of life i am afraid
 
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
No fucking point lifting any travel restrictions unless people wear masks on public transport and unless stations, interchanges, trains, tube, trams and busses are loaded with buckets of hand sanitizer. Even then people who have a high temperature shouldn't be able to travel.

After this we need an inquiry that looks at everything from all around the world. It’s important that we learn a lot of lessons from this and if and when this or an even more serious outbreak occurs again we are better prepared and act globally quicker and better coordinated.
