Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Just now, Chindie said: Surely not?! New York Times reporting it, but not making a big deal of it so the money involved is probably "small". Still completely criminal and immoral what he is doing but whats new.

markavfc40 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 My wife is a NHS nurse and was emailed today as they are looking for nurses to volunteer to work at the temp Nightingale hospital at the NEC in Birmingham. It won't be used for intensive care but for step down/rehab patients that are getting better and also for palliative care for those patients that won't get better. I guess this is what all these temp hospitals will be used for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 7, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 7, 2020 Seen a few Chinooks go over over the last few days which I assume it's to do with the prep say the NEC to convert it to a field hospital. Very rare to see military aircraft around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Some research now finding that mortality is higher in regions where air pollution is higher (eg Northern Italy). Still a correlation rather than a causal relationship, but intuitive if it’s all about healthy lungs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Big jump in numbers today but I think people were expecting that right? I know some models were predicting we’d be at 850+ deaths per day by now so I guess we’re inside of that number which must be relatively positive.

Weekends are always slower for deaths due to a reporting lag. Also, historically (I don't know if that's the case now with all hands on deck?) you are much more likely to die at a hospital during the weekend as there is less staff Tomorrow will unfortunately likely be over 800...

Xann Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 It's loose in a care home My other half is visiting. Test came back positive from a long term disabled chap that passed a couple of days ago . A few residents have been there decades, they are like a family to each other. Not only have they lost their friend, they're now dreading to see who else will show symptoms? Awful stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the UK figure is 924 There is, I think, a little bit of confusion when people quote national figures, not UK. BBC and Sky appear particularly confused by this.

Spoony Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 https://www-forbes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.forbes.com/sites/daphneewingchow/2020/03/29/how-a-little-island-in-the-caribbean-sea-is-standing-up-to-the-goliath-of-coronavirus/amp/ Yay we made the news. Tbf the Cayman government has smashed this. Business were closed and we were in lockdown very rapidly and before the UK. Life is very tedious as a result as we are only allowed out to exercise for an hour and a half every day except Sunday (hard lockdown on Sundays) and you can’t drive anywhere as you get stopped by police roadblocks if you do. It’s not exactly pedestrian friendly here and the places we can go to walk are extremely limited. But it’s the right thing to do and I think we’ve only had about 30 cases here now as a result. A mass spread of the virus here would be catastrophic as we just don’t have the facilities or doctors. Usually if you have anything moderately wrong with you, you go to Miami but obviously that’s no longer an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely with such a small island it would be reasonably easy to make sure the island stays free of cases? Couldn’t they quarantine all new arrivals?

DCJonah Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 With 800+ people dying a day are we going to manage to stay under 20,000 total deaths? It looks unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
