It’s scary how many more deaths are to come if we “only” reach the 20,000 deaths that the Chief Scientific Adviser described as a good outcome. But if that is something like the final outcome it will not be long before we start hearing a resurgence of the “its only flu” comments. And then criticism that the measures being taken and the restrictions imposed were completely unjustified. It will be quickly forgotten by many that without those measures would be in the hundreds of thousands
There was a gif yesterday that I could swear had 200kbit either if was wrong or I'm just blind. Probably the later.Just over 18,000 according to the WHO.
Not sure if already been posted anywhere
Go to Netflix, search for "my secret terrius"
Go to season 1, episode 10 and fast forward to 53 mins.
Its scary
It's interesting this. Dyson don't really make anything in the UK. In fact they don't really make much at all they have 2 plants of their own which make the - Dyson Digital Motors which go into their products. Everything else is outsourced to contact manufacturers. And none of the above is in the UK. In the UK they have their R&D labs and the disbanded automotive development centre (the aerodrome is near Malmsbury in Gloucestershire) but no high volume manufacturing capabilities. So it is a bit of a mystery how they plan to produce 15,000 ventilators in the UK any time soon.
I think they may have some coming by end of April perhaps, and whilst that may be too late for the peak, it is not of zero value because I imagine the NHS will still be hugely overloaded at that time. I would think they will be made in Malaysia and air-freighted in.The easy answer is....they won't.
It just makes people feel better
I am chilled don’t worry. Just pissed with people on here with their constant sniping, it’s not necessary or helpful. Everyone is going through the same issues yet some almost take great delight in scaremongering, talking bullshit, taking things out of context etc. We will defeat this virus although there will be some painful outcomes and for many, life will be totally different and the way we live might not be for everyone but that’s the case at the moment.Chill out man, everyone’s praising the work that excel London and the government have done to create the extra 4000 beds. But it also shows the gravity of the situation. I think you’ve read the last few pages wrong in all honesty.
Just over 18,000 according to the WHO.
Common colds are types of Coronavirus. They’ve been with us for thousands of years.thing is Coronavirus is nothing new, reading about it last week, it was actually discovered in the 1960's, if you look at any average Detol bottle in your kitchen and you look at the smallprint it states "protection against Coronavirus" so no surprise it may pop up on a tv show somewhere down the line

EDIT: I did't see your post above. Yes, June would be more realistic. Perhaps I was too optimistic suggesting end of April, but I was basing it on the bluster and bullshit being spouted by Zahawi last night. Silly of me.
Rumoured to be the BBC Raleigh...She was a little truculent, but thought Zahawi was being an evasive ****. She should have been more controlled, however.
Maitlis normally very good tbf and I think she’s extremely attractive. I find her intelligence very sexy and I reckon she’d be a good laugh too.
This self isolation is alot harder than I thought it was going to be. I am abit worried about my auntie who has to self isolate for 12 weeks as she lives on her own, she has lots of family near by but we cant go in to see her. She use to go out every day for a bit of shopping or to serve her friends.
I am also worried that once our self isolation is finished that we have to go back into the public to work. At the moment my work place has sent us home, but to be ready should we be need for food delivery for the community. My missus who works for a solicitors is still open but with restrictions and she is a diabetic. My lad works at halfords and is very angry that he will have to go to another store as his store isnt opening but has to go to another one to sell bikes.
As each day goes by its getting abit more scary but fellow blues this is a great place to take our minds of it or to come and ask for help and advice. To feel part of a community that's keep helping each other , and that's inportant . Thanks to Ric and his team for keeping this site going .....thanks
Didn't the minister on Newsnight say April? (Maitlis tried to pin him down on when in April but he was saying other manufacturers are also "ramping up".) If I've got it right, Dyson are being paid for 10,000, giving us another 1,000, and giving other countries 4,000. Let's hope they're quieter than his hand dryers. Unless the design mostly uses parts they use in their other products, it would be remarkable if they source the components that readily. And how many can you get in an air-freighter from Malaysia?Not for a month or two, from the BBC this morning.
Possibly unreliable memory, but I think they said June before they were available.

Judging by the low number of customers in our local Sainsbury (including those who walk out when there are no toilet rolls) I'm thinking most of the extra staff being taken on will be to cover for when the regular staff have to go off with it or self-isolating.Keep your chin up pal.
My youngest lad was stood down for a day from his job at Argos but has now been asked to go and help out at Sainsbury's.
He wasn't massively keen,however he's gone this morning,at least he'll be helping at a place that offers an essential service.
Absolutely correct. The point is that viruses mutate at a very fast rate and pop up in different configurations all the time. That is why your flu jab is a different concoction each year. It is an informed guess as to which virus and which version will be around. Two years ago, the flu jab was completely useless, as the guess was wrong.Common colds are types of Coronavirus. They’ve been with us for thousands of years.
