I agree about the care homes bit, but even if you ruled out ALL the care home deaths, we'd still have 50x the numbers of deaths compared to e.g. South Korea. Literally.Not face masks but care homes. The other countries mentioned value their elderly population and we treat ours like shit. Median age of all these ‘covid deaths’ is 84, which is older than the life expectancy of anyone ever born in this country. Now, imagine that someone has made up a ‘likely death number’ and the government have panicked and, consequently, instead of getting PPE into care homes and stopping infections in those care homes, we just sent a load of old, co-morbid and infected patients, back into a confined space, in the name of ‘protecting the NHS’.
Not only that, but we then promised up to £2.5k a month for people to not work, whilst we stood by and watched the people working in those infection pits (and those taking people to work in those homes and hospitals) get by on minimum wage, with £90 pw if they were ill. Surprisingly enough, lots of them went to work whilst they were ill. And then, as if to compound that, let’s send those ill members of care home staff to work in up to 5 different care homes a fortnight. If you’d actually wanted to get rid of large numbers of elderly people, you couldn’t have actually come up with a better plan.
They aren’t even through their first wave yet so it’s definitely anyone’s guess.any best guesses ?
The hundreds of thousands out protesting in the streets all together in America - will this mean there will be a catastrophic second wave of Covid ?
And if there is not - what does that mean ?
Great logicProbably the same reasons as the 95% who aren’t wearing them.
Glad you agree.Great logic
The crazy thing is you could be dying with terminal cancer, you could then pick up covid while in the hospital, then your death gets counted as "covid related" when in actual fact, if you didn't have cancer in the first place you would never have gone in hospital and would never have caught the virus.The girl i am seeing currently is a nurse at Tameside hospital.
She's been working on the covid wards whilst her normal ward is closed during this crisis.
Of course the whole epidemic has come in our talks, she mentioned that a lot of the times when in the morgue to help with the risk of not passing the disease on to other people they are being marked down as the cause of death being COVID-19.
Crazy right? So people who have passed due to Cancer are now being marked down as a covid19 death. there was a lad who did in a motorcycle accident who on his death certificate has it down that he died due to coronavirus.
I am sure in the future a lot of the deaths we have had will be relooked at.
