COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[cleavers]

We really need a Doctor with a Tardis as it should have happened when they were advised 3 weeks ago.

Correct.

A bit stupid saying 0.1% then really

No there are tables of data out there showing your chance of death using variables such as age BMI and underlying health conditions. Go look for them.

People under 20 it is 0.1%

Northern Ireland completes the bad news.

2 deaths (v 0 last week) v 1 two wks ago

1299 cases (v 1080 last week) v 934 two wks ago

Rolling 7 day total 6708 v 5272 v 2623 two wks ago

Of that 6708 there are 214 over 80 & 734 aged 60 - 79. Over 14% over 60.

Hospital patients 213 (up 12 in day) (v 132 last week) v 65 two wks ago

Ventilators 20 (up 3 in day) (v 10 last week) v 7 two wks ago.

It just feels like we are sleep walking into another disaster, it's genuinely hard to not be political about the people running the country, but it's fucking reactive rather than proactive.

Of the 9 deaths announced in Scotland today

4 are people aged 85+
4 are people aged 75-84
1 is a person in the 25-44 range.

We have to restart the economy and normality

Attempting to return to normality now will fail.

Probably 50 million people will fall sick and a quarter of a million will die.

Our hospitals will be full of covid patients for months.

Whatever you call this scenario, "normality" it is not.

is nicola still blaming the english.

So UK hospital death numbers today are 98 - at least under 100 for first time in a few days.

Last week the number was 64. Which became 87 in the all settings later.

Cases for the three nations today (with England to come) total 3474 v 3092 last week. That at least is not a major rise week to week.

So a little good news.

Whatever you call this scenario, "normality" it is not.

Will it ever be?

I think the term is 'The new normal'
