China Coronavirus

The north all but stopped vaccinating
1700 today out of a total of almost 500000 in the uk

I was there on Thursday, some of our staff on Friday and Saturday! They must be telling fibs

[Smurfy123]

And why because u were there they would be telling fibs
U are only one person

Weekly ROI update.

Cases. 14877 (10335 less cases than last week

Reported deaths 365 (97 more than last week)

In hospital 1,931 (3 more than a week ago)
In ICU 218 (23 more than last week)

Good progress on the case load, by next Sunday we'll hopefully have a decrease in deaths and those in hospital.

They were queuing around the building and indoors was busy.. but sure, no ones going or it's not happening...

There is an update on Twitter from DOE saying that the numbers for today and yesterday didn't include GP numbers and would be updated tomorrow.

The number of tests looked low. Hospital numbers still down a bit anyway which is positive.

The narrative keeps changing

As does the virus.


But yeah, once the higher risk groups are vaccinated - and its clear that the number of infections that lead to both hospital and ICU admissions are under manageable levels - then that discussion can start.

However, remember this - every week of continued drastic measures has a snowball effect on what happens when things are relaxed. Exponential change cuts both ways (growth and decay).

A few things haven't changed from the off
The 2 big features of hospitalised people is obesity and age
Unfortunately you can do nothing about age
But you can do a lot about obesity
Remember when Boris Johnstone came out of hospital he kept beating the drum about the nurses telling him obesity was a major driving force in him ending up in hospital and that he was going to really push that message and change the UKS outlook
Guess what
Not a word of it since
I take it we will have a massive spike in covid numbers in 7 days after so many people mixing and moving outside yesterday in the fresh air with all the snow. The amount of people outside was massive. Let's see

Surely being outside isn't a problem though? Is it not household visits that have been castigated as the main issue?

The most hidden thing of late is the scandalous spread in hospital settings, the governments are trying to deflect this fact and hide it from the public but huge numbers of ill and sick people who are admitted to hospital for other reasons are then picking up Covid there - that is unacceptable.

In a statement, the INMO said that nearly 2,000 healthcare workers have caught Covid-19 over two weeks in outbreaks directly traced to their workplaces.

They said that between 6 and 19 January there have been 5,403 reported healthcare workers infected with the virus, with 1,957 confirmed as having been infected in a healthcare setting.

The union has called for a number of measures, including a national requirement that high-standard FFP2 masks be used in all healthcare settings instead of basic surgical masks.

It is also calling for the distance between beds to be increased from 1 metre to 2m and for regular testing for all staff in healthcare settings on a rolling basis.

Bojo now saying that they are going to take a look at lifting some restrictions as early as the 15th of February
You actually could not make this stuff up
Was Easter only 2 days ago now it's 2 weeks and some stuff may be lifted

Who'd have thought it, those that work with the people infected with covid would catch it in their workplace. Crazy stat

Just shows you, no one was prepared for this pandemic... Not even the health care workers paid to deal with it.

The Unions are laying the blame straight at their bosses in terms of resources and equipment for the spread in hospitals. It's a scandal.

There is no problem laying the blame at the shortfall of proper PPE for this, the problem is that the government was ill prepared in carrying out its own acclaimed prevention methods for a pandemic!

Head in the sand.. Hopefully they will have their ass's handed to them in the next election

What is going on is hospitals right now is a huge issue in the spread of the virus and death, this is the fault of the government and health service.

But hey why not let them blame someone who visited their family at Christmas for it instead.
