LakotaDakota Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Split of Covid deaths in England as of last night : Total - 3,939 Over 80 years old : 2071 (53%) 60-79 years old : 1549 (39%) 40-59 years old : 282 (7%) 20-39 years old : 32 (0.8%) 0-19 years old : 5 (0.1%) 92% over 60 years old. More than every other person over 80 Really wish the 60-79 bracket was broken down far more into 5 year sections or something. I know the whole world is in lockdown panic chaos but it really does look like this is primarily just wiping those out that the flu missed this year. The hospitals could more than likely cope with the actual numbers of people ok but the problem (much like the supermarkets running out of very specific items) is that everyone has the exact same thing and it is all happening at the same time. This is still only 4000 people in a month England & wales registered 56,000+ deaths in Jan 2020 England & wales registered 43,600+ deaths in Feb 2020 Edited April 4, 2020 by LakotaDakota 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I'm putting it down to anxiety. I'd love to have had a very mild version of it and get it out the way but I don't think I have. Me too. Ive not been out for a month, if I’ve got it we are truly doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 48 minutes ago, It's Your Round said: The good ol US of A now have more confirmed cases than Italy, Spain and UK put together! 301,147 as of today. I dread to think what their peak deaths will be like. Their population is 327 million and change ... Italy , uk and Spain population is about 165m , I’d kinda expect them to have more confirmed cases tbh they are running at 25 deaths per million , Spain , Italy at around 250 per miliion UK at around 64 its why I don’t think some figures are necessarily helpful 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are others, not in Hospital, not diagnosed.. 2: these dead are likely to have initially been sick when the “ cases” were lower, even up to 2 weeks ago....we will see the numbers of dead from the current cases later... 3:: the “cases” are those sick enough to be Hospitalised, for the most part, tens of thousands are estimated to be sick but at home. and more, but I’ve said it many times so that’ll have to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 My favourite thing about that claim is the idea that buzzers (presumably like on quiz shows?) are *absolutely integral* to the technology, and cannot be dispensed with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I also got 4 days in a row with diarrhea and I thought it was odd. No fever or cough mind. And now I'm reading that lots (80%) of people will have very mild symptoms and of those 10-20% are reported to struggle with diarrhea. I feel absolutely fine, but decided to order a covid-19 test so I won't walk around sick without being aware of it. But jeez it wss expensive. £ 80 !! Anyone else had headaches and diarrhea?? A friend of mine was taken to hospital last weekend (still there), she had headaches, short of breathe and vomiting (a lot apparently), but I’m not aware of diarrhoea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I’ve just ventured to the local shop for the first time in a fortnight as I needed some food (especially meat, fruit and snacks). I had a scarf wrapped round my face, kept my distance and wiped down the basket. I was the only one to do so, others were stopping to chat, getting close to others etc. I see one of my neighbours go out everyday and buy a newspaper. People are stupid, that’s why this lock down will go on for ages 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some won’t like it - some already don’t. Most people I’ve spoken to would rather stay alive. I know nobody personally who goes anywhere, who wants to go anywhere, or who wants an early end to the lockdown. If some don’t like it, let them go and work in the Hospitals and after work they can spend as long as they like outside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 “ If I saw something wrong, if I saw a massive breakout, I’d come down hard” ( Trump on States with no lockdown) Just how ill informed, or how despicably deliberately obtuse, can someone get. You want to scream at him “By Then IT Will Be Too Late You Scumbag” Its horrible to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out her friend had organised a surprise BBQ party for her at her house and was most offended when my mom asked her 'what the **** do you think you're doing?' FFS.
