Hospitals can cope with these little rises in the infection rate. Thats the gamble folks. They can, and I think that's what the plan is with the gradual release. Unfortunately, I can see the cunty approach of some leading to another lockdown, and more economic hardship. There'll be no furlough scheme then, so maybe they might take it more seriously.

paulhanley Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Deaths in the week beginning May 16 were about 2,400. Week beginning May 23 it was 2170 and this week of May 30 to June 5 it's been 1668. It's going in the right direction. But it's very, very slow. If we keep going at this rate there'll be much lower numbers of death by the end of this month. That's a big if though given the covidiots who seem to think social distancing does not apply to them Edited June 5, 2020 by paulhanley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombwfc Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 From the ONS analysis Peely linked too earlier... Hopefully that puts to bed any idea that it was the lockdown, or "my sisters mate Janet's uncle got hit by a bus and the doctors were told to put COVID". If anything it's the opposite, and coronavirus deaths have been under reported. So it'll be a vast majority of 60,000 dead in three months. And I still I don't think it's being taken seriously enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I may or may not be immune,the fact we still don't know is a bit shit. Anyway, I'm trying to lick as many shopping trolley bars/handles as I can, just to see. I'm also considering trying to drain my own plasma at home, and then selling it on the black (lives matter) market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the R rate spikes in your area next week you can probably still spread it. If not your OK to crack on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First few weeks of lockdown, hardly any traffic, hardly any fucker about. To me over 51% + is a majority. But eh fuckers it's absolute bollox, i wish it fucking was! And are all these people going in and out of others' houses, having any kind of physical contact with each other? Or are you just assuming that because everywhere seems a bit busier that over 51% of people are back to living life as they were previously?

ErnestTurnip Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Memory might be failing me but Sweep had it a good while ago. If he's showing high levels of antibodies then it must be because he's still encountering decent doses of the virus regularly for his immune system to be reacting like that. Lad at work came out of quarantine and had it within 3 days. Lots of individual stories rather than a total picture but seems to me there's loads more to come from this yet.

Ani Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 At least in briefing today somebody pointed out that they were being very selective with data quoted. it is good to know that demand for beds in East Anglia is down but you have not mentioned that there has been a spike in deaths today. We seem to have gone from 2 to 0 scientists in the briefing, was there any explanation ? Van the man banned ? It just feels like the whole thing is falling apart at the moment with little or no logic to the decisions. The travel quarantine being the strangest unless that is because if we say we are quarantining people it is better than being told we are not acceptable for reciprocal deals. People won’t like to admit but the wheels came off with the Govt response around the time of the Cummings fiasco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 2 hours ago, Spider said: It was everywhere though Aye, but it wasn’t really, when we went into ‘lockdown’ London was increasing significantly. Bolton was on about 15 cases, Durham on 5.... As it was reported these parts of the country were three to four weeks behind. its totally switched now, with North Wales, North West and East along with parts of Scotland amongst the highest rates, just at the point things are re-opening. It’s not London that’s going to the hardest hit by this. I wouldn’t be changing a thing if I was back home, it’s almost like the national policy is being led by what is happening here, rather than for the good of the regions.

There was a worry that the NHS would collapse so there was a definite plan to avoid that - nightingales hospitals and converting wards etc. Once that threat was overcome and there was a genuine community spirit and willingness to put up with the shit for the common good. It was a tough call but they did deliver on that key element. I struggle to see the positives in last 2-3 weeks, the rules are being relaxed in a seemingly random way, the ‘following the science’ has been replaced by political decisions based on risk. The rules have been undermined. The scientists have broken rank. The Cummings affair was an opportunity to reinforce how important rules are but that was chucked away. Tory MPs have broken rank. No scientists at today’s briefings. They are also treating us like idiots.

I had similar in January followed by post viral fatigue and a persistent dry cough that lasted all the way into lockdown. Of course it could be flu, but I've wondered ever since if it was Covid.
