COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[kaz7]

The govt put on their website a month ago that they expect to have 4 million doses.
This is the first I've heard of any delay to distribution due to bottling - that's not something that got mentioned today even (from what I heard of the press conference).

They are not going to tell us that bit ! It will not be anything but the normal distribution and logistics , it is a ma mmouth task

Our local hospital will be at ITU capacity early next week and will be commissioning other wards to ITU beds (ventilator etc)

Peak admissions expected in 2-3 weeks.

It’s going to be a long 2-3 weeks

I’ve never been told to wait after a flu vaccine at my local gp surgery.

Me too. Didn’t even get to sit down. Took 30 seconds.

Because if we can keep them in hospitals by using other wards, while no great, it’s better than using nightingales other than as a last resort. Thats always been the case and was in April too.

REGIONAL SCOREBOARD

MIDLANDS 3432 - down from 3993


THE NORTH

NORTH EAST 1957 - Big RISE from 1230

YORKSHIRE 2057 - UP from 1886 First time Yorkshire has topped 2000 in over 6 weeks.

And

NORTH WEST 3420 - big drop from 4194.

GREATER MANCHESTER had 1048 cases a fall of 356 of the 774 above.

This was actually enough to put GM onto 31% - the lowest percentage of the NW since last Summer.

It has been under 40% now for 18 days.

The reason? In those days East Lancashire has escalated more Merseyside even more.

And the Cheshire areas excluded from higher tiers like East Cheshire - paid the price for being oases in the wilderness where all the infected went to eat, drink and be merry spreaders of the new strain to the previously lower infected areas.

If only we could have foreseen such a possibility.

Thanks for the figures - grim but more informative than anything else I’ve seen

Back to the most severe level of lockdown over here.....





For at least a month. Can't say as how I'm too surprised, to be honest.

What’s the difference between 4 and 5?

 

[Stoned Rose]

Just had a text to start shielding again(as has my sister) as i am CEV. Is that tier 4 wide? Never mentioned at the briefing, least not that i heard. I have kept shielding since late feb anyway btw.

I'm C of E.

Do I need to do owt?

What’s the difference between 4 and 5?

In the first lockdown of March we weren't allowed more than 2km from home unless shopping/needing to go to work- at least it's up to 5km now, if that's something to be grateful for....
