Found this

Italy and Spain, by contrast, do not report deaths in care settings regularly. In Italy, best estimates were based on a survey of 10% of care homes in the country. The death rate in this sample was extrapolated to reach an estimate for all care homes, which suggests 53% of coronavirus deaths were happening in care.

Thanks Karen.

If 53% of deaths are in care homes that would mean the overall death toll is double the daily figures. Doesn’t bear thinking about but from the anecdotal evidence I’ve heard it could well be true in this country as well. We’ll find out eventually.

Yet here you are still rattling on, you are a very odd person it seems.

So if you had read the thread as you have exclaimed twice why did you suggest I worked in the NHS, I guess it was just for a smart mouth moment then?

Also interesting that you bring up tipping restaurant staff, as you actually do that all the time and not just during the crisis, which I guess if you had been reading the thread and following the posts, you would have noticed that was what I was intimating from the start but yeah well done for the need to fire in the wrongly assumed dig, a bit of a backfire but thanks for playing.

It is over now, go and play with somebody else instead lol

I’d finished. I’ve not read whatever nonsense you have posted here.

don’t forget to shake your fists and mutter some diatribe when they come to empty your bins this week.

Is he though? He keeps saying he is, but he acts like a right twat on there. Lots of spelling mistakes for a scientist, who are usually incredibly concise and particular about how they choose their words. He also blocks and reports an awful lot of people...

Fully agree, but that should be precise. Feel free to block/put me on ignore...
I would ;-)
 
This seemed to pass unremarked a week ago from Hancock.

"The Health Secretary expressed the government's belief that none of the deaths was due to the reported shortages in PPE. 'We aren't aware of any link from shortages of PPE to any of these deaths.'"

What is going on in their minds?

They will never admit staff not being protected have led to deaths,they are saying they are looking into every case,yeah right
 
Just a quick question.
On Thursday they announced another three weeks of restrictions.
Is that from Thursday or back dated to Monday? (The original end of the first three weeks etc)
Or have they just set a date? (I understand that will be subject another review)
Cheers...

Yet again only half the UK's testing capacity has been called upon. Is this the strategy of a government hell bent on suppressing the virus?

The defensive strategy is in place. It consumes the tests that it does.
Moving over to the attack will consume an immense amount of tests. The question is when will this start?

Yeah and whatever they find will be quickly swept under a big rug, only thing is they'll need a fucking big brush to get it done.

There appears to be more going around than C19 at this time. One good tip is to stop drinking cold drinks, as these will flush any virus further into your body. Drinking hot drinks has a better chance of killing it, whether Vimto or tea etc. This is being advised in some other countries, and sounds logical.

Hmmmmm. Hot beer? No, it's not doing it for me.

The fallout from this incompetence at best(or blatant disregard for human life) will drag on for many years to come.

wish I never bothered!
Although I took Rics advice - saw them at bottom of road, wrote ‘thanks’ on a post-it and taped a tenner to top of bin - they took it all good. Sorry to offend bluealf.

You have nothing to apologise for mate. You have not said or done anything wrong. He was the one that saw his arse

Maybe you should have thought about that before you jumped in frothing at the mouth about my bedside manner.

I have no truck with binmen, again if you had read the thread it was actually to do with tipping key workers during this crisis and not the rest of the year, stating that I was a key worker and used my own situation as an example saying I didn't want to be tipped by people who could ill afford it or those only doing it for a self-congratulatory pat on the back.

Read it or don't read it as I don't really care but the post was in defence of your false insinuations only.

Just seen onTwitter (so the caveat here is obviously that this could be bollocks) that the Gloucestershire NHS Foundation Trust has had over twice as many Covid deaths as other hospitals in the South West. And have a guess at one of the areas covered by this Hospital. Yup, Cheltenham.

It’s possibly true as Gloucester as a county is about the 20th worst area according to some stats I saw. They had 887 deaths, Bristol 437
