Off Topic SARS-CoV-2 Covid-19

I expect they're just too busy with what they've been asked to do next, to report everything that's going on, Frank.

 

UPDATE.. * Just saying the number of people who have died in their hospitals not where they are from
as has been noted before figures are only for 'Hospital Deaths'


* https://www.hey.nhs.uk/news/2020/04/11/number-of-deaths-after-patients-test-positive-for-covid-19/

Number of deaths after patients test positive for COVID-19
Sadly, we can confirm that since March 19, 24 patients have died at Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust after testing positive for COVID-19.

The families of these patients have been informed and our deepest sympathies are with them at this very difficult time.

We will continue to announce further deaths of patients testing positive for COVID-19 but will only release further details about these patients at the request of their families.

I read, only in the Daily Mail mind you, that the govt were prepared to stump up a few million prior to getting all the test results in so that if it was a goer we'd have stocks already.

Didn't Bill Gates say he was going to build 7 factories to manufacture the most potential vaccines.

 

I think he has narrowed it down to the 2 .
Ones with the most potential.

 

According to the the scientist in the article we don't immediately need new manufacturing facilities, existing ones can retool.

 

The latest simulation model from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluations (University of Washington) is predicing that the UK will reach peak cases on April 15th, peak deaths a couple of days later and by the end of May daily deaths from Coronavirus will have dropped back to 0.

surely all the more reason to STAY AT HOME?


my next door neighbour is a care worker and visits the exact people referred to in that article.
I, through both my job and through my neighbour have visited some of the people in her care and know only too well what this lockdown is doing to a lot of vulnerable people mentally.

but you know as well as I do i wasn't referring to those people lamby.
doesnt the 3000 crammed on the tube while a deadly pandemic is killing seemingly at will round the globe creeping ever closer, tell you that londoners/southerners often think they are a bit wiser than anyone else and know whats good for them?

if you havent come across this attitude (or are married to a londoner or have friends who are londoners) then i humbly apologise.
like i said in a previous post, 2 of the wife's brother in laws and their 5 kids and thepeople ive met on numerous social gatherings is what im commenting on.

plus for years they served beer with no head claiming it was us who were stupid for tolerating less value for money with froth instead of an extra half inch of beer.
(lol i remember holding up to a barman a tetleys beermat saying wtf is that then?)


maybe im wrong and they're bravely doing it right getting this pandemic out of the way with the fittest surviving

meanwhile months after lockdown is over, we in hull will still be cowering in our homes for fear of catching the virus while the rest of the world moves on.

our only hope up here is a vaccine or some other treatment

or maybe its time to start sunbathing in parks?

 

isnt it regional and are we in hull are at least 3 weeks behind the likes of london birmingham if not more due to our successful distancing/isolating?

 

i have hade mass funerals/burials darn sarf. is this an urban myth or reality?

 

I and my partner went out for a bike ride in the countryside today and everyone we met made sure of at least 3 metres distance. outside the local shops everyone was at least 2 metres apart if not more. I can imagine i would get angry upset if someone got too close in a supermarket. but i dont usually have that problem in life as i have B.O

(is that still a thing?)

need to improve my ring of confidence.

 

thalidomide the perfect example.
sometimes serious side effects especially liver problems just have to be tolerated as its the lesser evil.

i know 10 years ago i was put on a biological med before it had been proven safe long term.

and now they know what the long term side effects and are switching to a new drug but they simply couldnt wait 10 or so years.

 

There are regional variations, but this report just treats the UK as a single region. Some countries - Germany, Spain, USA and others - are broken down by state.

The report is predicting that for most of Europe the peak is past and we are somewhat of an outlier.

 

i freely admit to being simple and often stuff on here goes over my head. so simplistic is what you get.

i am sure from another forum I knew you lived down there.

Every single time when ive been to London on the tube everyone sits/stands silently in there in their own space. I always spark up conversation and 90% of the time the people who join in are "foreigners" who've moved to london for work etc from other parts of the UK.


9 members of my family live within 15 miles of Hull and all but the youngest two would call one of the brother in laws a "know it all prick"

the other one is a larger than life "diamond geezer" and obviously a descendant of the Kray twins.

just like you have to take a duck out of water to see if it can run, maybe you have to take a Londoner out of London to see how much he is full of ****?

 

It worries me how much they rely on what the models say. I know they're not liable to be as pleasing on the eye, but I'd feel much happier if they used scientists.

 

I just had a message from a good workmate of mine and I don't know how to forward it.

In short James Chester has a place in Birmingham that he won't need for a while, so he's given it up for NHS staff if they need somewhere to stay.

A class act is James Chester

 

David Meyler just finished a 24 hour computer games marathon.
He has raised £10k ..his target...his daughter is now shaving his head.

 

The data is published listed as Trusts, so presumably those figures include Hull as well as East Riding. It shows (if you click on 11th April sheet and then the 'by Trust' tab) 24 for HUTH Hospital Trust, but also 1 for Humber Teaching Foundation Trust.
If you look on the 'by region' tab it's not much use as it lumps all North East and Yorkshire together.
Of course those figures are only for those dying of it in hospitals, so don't include deaths in homes and care homes

Another mortuary being created in Hull in case, but looks like thats for whole Humber area
