Motorworld treating staff like shit. Senior management sending messages saying sales targets not being met (hardly shop staff's fault under normal circumstances). No PPE, shops still open with no proper distancing measures, a d generally making life miserable for staff. This from a shop worker a few days ago. May have been changed since but I doubt it. Poor sod isolating herself when at home in case she's contracted it whilst at work. Then back to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's clear what accounts for the other 12. How we're reporting deaths is so different from everyone else, that the daily comparisons are pointless. There was a suggestion in yesterday's briefing that the lag in the data could be anything up to two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted March 31, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2020 If its a death at home, i dont see any way there wont be a lag You cant put CV on a death cert without a positive test or a post mortem And testing death folk is surely not a priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably as you say, because they won't be tested as a rule. The huge increase today is all from hospitals, and even the government's chart from yesterday made mention of our figures not being up to date. It might be that no-ones are, but it makes the short-term tallying up between countries redundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK already has around 7k deaths per day on average, and some of the CV deaths would have been included in those figures, especially the elderly and those with underlying health conditions, which we already know, if CV has contributed to their deaths it would be interesting to know how many would have died anyway through contracting any virus including influenza?

kent_white Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 We're literally trialling full face SCUBA diving masks as an option at work for patient's on CPAP (CPAP is like a noninvasive ventilation you can wear while you're conscious). I think it's a great idea if it works - just seems a comical idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombwfc Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I don't think it's disgusting, but it does seem like being a contrarian for the sake of it to ignore the masses of virologists, scientists etc. all saying different. What is it about the bloke writing in the Spectator's credentials that makes you believe his point of view, other than that it re-inforces a belief you already had? The consensus from the modelling seems to be pretty clear that doing nothing = NHS swamped = people dying left, right and centre from things they shouldn't have. Something which doesn't happen to anything like this extent with the flu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was around 1200 deaths a day on average. 7k seems a big figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
