With Bolsonaro in charge it could be carnage. As far as I know he's still saying it doesn't exist isn't he. Although I'm not one to wish ill on people usually it would be quite fitting if he caught it.
And don't expect their figures to be accurate - reckon a lot of those in the slums will not get counted.
Great news. Good work mate !

The death data is deaths at that nhs trust. The case data is where the patient lives so there are likely to have been more than the 493 cases present at uhcw as cases fro local but outside Coventry would be sent there as well

Most of the world seems to be run by idiots these days.
I wouldn't be surprised. They managed to dupe the public with that Fact Checking account during the election, and I would not put it past them to do it again, even in these times.

Lots of people seemed to get the symptoms around December time, definitely could be something in that

There's definitely something odd been going around. I've had something for months that I haven't been able to shake. Been to the doctors a few times and they couldn't really help. Tried antibiotics as they thought it was a chest infection, did nothing. Even got sent for an x-ray to check for lung cancer!
They did say a few people seemed to have something similar. Doubt it is coronavirus, even if it didn't get worse surely it would have spread quickly and we'd have known there was a problem far earlier.

If this is true it’s fucking scandalous.
Just came in to post this.
Utterly disgusting, but not unexpected, from this shameful government.
People will still defend them though. Unbelievable. This should be front page news but no doubt it'll get brushed under the carpet like the rest of their dirty tricks.

I don't believe it for a second but would love it to be the case. I had a horrible one with similar symptoms around New Year and would love it to have been this.

It is but they've told lies with impunity for years now, there is no comeback. For all their rhetoric about Corbyn being a commie, their propaganda would make Stalin blush. Vile people.

Again, no no one in this thread had coronavirus in December unless you were visiting Wuhan at the time. There are tons of respiratory diseases kicking around at winter. There is no suggestion we had an outbreak last year, that article is talking purely about China and is speculating a three month window Sept-Dec for the start. Let’s not start this nonsense again.
Those fake NHS Twitter accounts are a bit dodgy. It fits the whole Cummings and Johnson MO, which is also why I’ll take it with a pinch of salt until something is proven, but they do seem to be treating the pandemic the same way they treated the election and Brexit with lots of online bullshit and PR rather than what you’d expect from a government during a crisis.

If it was around in September wouldn't the hospitals have been swamped by October, with a steep spike in deaths.

Do you drive a lot on Motorways ? I mean above average ?

Commute to Blythe Valley Business Park every day but thats about it so wouldn't have thought that was above average.

Exactly. If it was corona why would it just lie dormant for months, makes no sense. Just some other weird bug that wouldn't shift.

I don’t get what’s happening really. Did we lock down too early and fear it’s length too much? Or as I suspect have we flattened the peak to ensure our health services cope

And if we included deaths in care homes would we already be at a higher figure than France?

If anything we locked down too late, we’ve had a similar curve to Italy compare that to countries that locked down earlier and have seen far far fewer deaths. In terms of managing healthcare capacity it seems to have been a success, if not in terms of limiting deaths.
There’s been two successful strategies so far, neither of which we followed: lockdown hard and early like NZ or contain the outbreak with track and trace and mass testing like SK.
The gamble is that those that locked down early will see a large second wave or extreme economic damage compared to those that didn’t. Well only know how true that is once we’ve run the numbers after it’s all over though.
And yes, as I understand it if we counted deaths outside hospitals we’d be above France and most other EU countries. But again really hard to tell for sure until the dust settles and we can look at overall excess deaths and normalise our some of the differences in reporting and methodologies for cause of death.

Got to be honest, this guy seems like a bit of a crank with a habit of self publicising through edgy views: Karol Sikora - Wikipedia
