My issue is the patients they turned away due to lack of staff

It may have featured on the occasional C4 bulletin or panorama .
But solidly batted back .
Afraid the Beeb being seen as a robust monitor on Gov't actions are long gone .

You really are a prick ain’t ya, obsessed with everything I post acting like a stalker

 

[David O'Day]

I guess it could mean those who grew up with it but too young to serve?

I missed out the word not, sorry but I like how grenners tries to talk to me even though I have him on ignore.

Anyway meant to say the people who like to bring up ww2 and the blitz spirit are those not quite old enough to have been there and as brrm said too old for the Falklands

No you are Dom, you come here crying that we won't pretend failure is a good thing and then you lie and try to pretend you didn't

Were you on Goose Green David?

On the face of it yes it is a good thing. If its purely that we created extra capacity in case it was needed and shut it down when it wasn't then job done.

However if it has been shut down as other hospitals have stopped referring patients there due to them being turned away as there't no staff thats not so positive.
Nightingale hospital 'turned away more coronavirus patients than it treated'

Agree, but worth kicking off about it when contrasted with the thousands being left to die in care homes. It all feels a bit like a massive PR stunt.

Both points taken.

 

[Nick]

People kicking off about the nightingale hospital barely being used. Surely that’s a good thing? Or did we want it rammed? Can’t win.

Empty it out and play our matches in there to win the league!

Coronavirus UK: Antibody data shows 4.2m may have been infected | Daily Mail Online

Coronavirus UK: Antibody data shows 4.2m may have been infected | Daily Mail Online

Extrapolating from these figures suggest that between 4.2 and 33.5million Britons have been infected with COVID-19

There's a huge difference in those numbers. One is 6% of the population and the other is 50%. If its 50%, and re-infection isn't possible, you're getting to the point of herd immunity being a viable way forward. Going to need a lot more certainly on the numbers before they can be used to formulate the strategy going forward.

New cases down for a 3rd day in a row....bet none of you will mention that good news though will ya, will just moan about us doing 85k tests

Chris Giles now has his potential excess death model at up to 50k.

I read about a Swiss company's antibody test that tested very well and could be on the way, it can't come soon enough if only for uncertainty's sake.

That’s probably because they test you but then don’t send you the results as they haven’t in my case and the numbers are inflated because people like my wife have had to go back for a second time because there was a problem with the test.

Cases don’t lag it’s deaths that lag over the weekend

Isle of white have got the contact tracing app, wonder when we’ll be able to download it

They do when you can't take the test due to non return envelope or not one qualified at your home and they lag when you could a test posted as a test completed.

If we can get the antibody tests going that'll be a start because
a. If we can get people tested we can have a better idea of how many people have had it in the wider community
b. It provides more potential material to work on an antibody based vaccine, potentially speeding up the introduction of that which is ultimately where we need to be.

Oh, and cases have gone down again.

Tell you what mate - you go pass on that ‘good news’ story to a family that’s lost someone to Cov-ID 19.

Dunno. But I won't be. Afraid I don't trust them with my data.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

So it’s not good news to you that total cases are going down now and are on a downward trend? Obviously every death is heartbreaking and we pray the numbers come down quickly in both settings

 

[Ian1779]

It’s encouraging news that we may be moving to a less tragic position.

Good is about as insensitive as heralding a success right now.

France have confirmed there were cases of corona in the country a month earlier than thought

Coronavirus present in France a month earlier than thought, test indicates

So everyone here slating others for saying they had symptoms from xmas onwards can eat humble pie then surely?

Adamant my lad had it end of Jan, a the hallmarks and symptoms, doctors asked 'have you been to china'. When no was the reply it was left as an upper respiratory infection but they dont know what.

Preparing to be shot down here, but what if all this is the second wave everyones scared of? Stranger things have happened at sea

I deffo think it was here around Christmas so many people were off poorly with the flu

My glass is half full. Yours is bone dry.

It is good news that the death rate is about 75% lower than a week ago. It means there will be thousands less families losing a loved one each week. How can that not be good?

According to the article different strains could have potentially sprung up in different parts of the world as well.
I'm one of the ones who's been saying the anecdotal evidence suggests it's been here longer than we think.

I don't think what we're experiencing is the second wave unfortunately though we'll see what happens as lock down restrictions are lifted.

While I agree 288 are 288 to many I think last monday from memory was about 100 more. I do not think they did not include care homes may be wrong.If I have a gripe with the handling of this it was right at the begining of this whole saga was allowing Cheltenham to go ahead and Athletico Madrid fans to come to Anfield.At the time it was 1 of the most infected places in the world.

50000 reasons tell me good is not the right way to describe it.

Encouraging, welcoming, a relief - absolutely.

Every death is absolutely awful ffs what are you trying to say???!! It’s encouraging that that the cases are falling as are the death totals.....don’t you see that as an encouraging sign we’re getting on top of the virus??? I’d rather it be much lower than the 100s more it was over the last few weeks

Yes very much so .
Two more were cited on TV this morning.
One from California and one from Iran suggesting 30%

we're also on the verge of becoming the worse affected country in Europe so it's a bit early to be hanging out the bunting.
