****ing good question. On that tracker website we have been stuck at 135 recoveries for weeks, obviously not being updated, or talked about for some reason, even though it’s good news, the number must be thousands. The original stats for ventilators is that only 50% make it.
Also we need clarity about how deaths are being recorded. Typically if a patient with serious heart disease or end stage cancer is admitted to hospital with flu or another respiratory illness and subsequently dies, the cause of death is recorded as their primary illness - cancer or heart disease. Those who die with COVID 19 are all recorded as dying of it, not with it or from an underlying serious illness. There is no doubt that health services are under huge pressure but we need some clarity about how things are counted to help decide the best course of action.
Wimbledon cancelled, which will gut all those residents of SW19 who clean up by renting their house out for a couple of weeks.
Somebody from the fashion industry saying they are all geared up to make any clothing the NHS needs, but they are getting no direction from the government. I’m sure I heard something similar last week. Just like the ****ing ventilators, big announcements made, no ****ing follow up. Turning shambolic.

Grim.
