COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Mike Cledford]

We are from the council.

This way the blocked toilet is in here.

Tidied this up now, but keep the political arguments to the other thread please.

tell me of her incompetence? please, explain why she has been returned for 20 years and you are just a bedwetter

That's why during the election build up she was kept out of public view as she was seen as a liability. Constantly not aware of her facts during interviews. Glad you consider her a good MP. Is she yours? If not how do you know?

Burnham is an absolute disgrace, playing politics with Boris.

My surgeon mate at the Royal says they are already creaking and are gonna need to rely on Nightingale very quickly indeed.

They literally have people now walking in off Hathersage Road coughing their guts up :(

This can't be about squeezing an extra percentage out for furlough, it's gone beyond this, both in terms of the money the government even have left, and the real doomsday scenario this region is now facing.

Yet we didn’t need them at all in March or April... go figure.

I think it has been up here in less quantum than in London when we shut down. Half of my site were coughing in mid March having said that! Who knows?

Yet in March we had thousands dying everyday and still never used the nightingale hospitals.... why would we now when it’s in the 100’s a day and we can treat it better.

The numbers of people testing postitive for Covid are meaningless in isolation. We know for a fact that anyone under 70 years old who has no comorbiditites is in less danger from Covid than the average flu. Not an opinion, a statistical fact. To make covid figures meaningful they should be broken into two catagories.
1. The under 70's with no comorbidities - extremely low risk of death and of little consequence
2. The over 70's and people with comorbidities - extremely high risk and of high consequence.

The blunt instrument of total numbers tells us nothing.

good point - can’t disagree with you

I'm not sure where your numbers are coming from, but you are quoting case numbers, and that is not what I was discussing, and a single day of cases on its own means bugger all, but I would say they are around the same over the last week not falling overall, just variable, at 1526, 1566, 1387, 906(w), 781(w), 1513, 1158 (13th last full day), (w = less reliable weekend number, usually creating a spike on a Tuesday). These are from the government website.

However, and what I was talking about and have made clear previously, NEW hospitalisations are in the main rising.
The last 7 days in the London region are, 39, 55, 51(w), 50(w), 69, 73, 76, so nearly double 1 week ago on the 14th, the latest date available.

Patients in London hospitals for the last 7 days (up to today) are 314, 338, 361, 373, 397, 404, 457, a 7 day rise of nearly 50%, and under ventilation, 52, 57, 65, 67, 77, 78, 80 (up to today), again a 7 day rise of over 50%.
