Off Topic Coronavirus

Stay 2m away and if you can’t then stay 1m away and if you can’t then well we tried it’s your fault if you die.

 

And those little green men running around on the moon eating cheese...

 

That's spooky that's just what Butt Huber said.

 

They are the presenters on ‘Operation Ouch’ which is a kids programme about medical stuff and is actually rather good as it teaches kids medical knowledge in a fun way.
My kids watch it all the time and surprise me often when I talk to them about medical stuff and they know what I’m talking about.

Anyway.....I’m proud to say I’ve actually saved two lives this week....one by my brilliant chest compressions and another by rugby tackling a fella before he threw him self in front of speeding traffic along a busy A-Road.
I consider my own trumpet well and truly blown

3 hours to go of my last night shift

 

Might be good for this thread

 

This ones for the Huber

 

The Louisa Jordan hospital, built in Glasgow to cope with Covid and also never used, is now helping to clear the backlog caused by the pandemic...

NHS Louisa Jordan to help health service recovery

Health and social care, Coronavirus in Scotland
Hospital will support planned non-COVID healthcare and staff training.

Some planned healthcare that was delayed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic will now be carried out at the NHS Louisa Jordan to help NHS Scotland recover.

Built at the beginning of the outbreak at the Scottish Events Campus (SEC) in Glasgow, the hospital will initially receive some orthopaedic outpatient consultations from July. If clinically successful, with positive patient experience, it could be used to provide a wide range of postponed non-COVID planned healthcare that has been delayed.

The hospital will also be used for staff training, teaching and examinations due to the clinical facilities and the space available to maintain physical distancing.

The NHS Louisa Jordan has not been required to treat COVID-19 patients because of efforts made to suppress the virus. If required, the hospital continues to remain ready to accept COVID-19 patients at a few days’ notice.

 

I believe that only half of it is being dismantled?

Give the man some cake

 

Nice day for the beach.

 

What many of us have said for quite some time. Panic and fear that has been whipped up has been disproportionate to the threat.

 

Wee Jimmy pretty angry with the Aberdeen players for "breaking the rules"

Maybe her rules aren't quite clear enough and common sense can't be relied on north of the Border either

Disappointingly for Sturgeon she hasn't found a way of blaming the English or Westminster for the Aberdeen cases

 

**** that’s really bad. Now we have to find another reason or reasons for 65,000 excess deaths. Scary.

 

So presumably even more of the excess deaths total has been caused by 'protecting the NHS'.

 

A bit of 'panic and fear' is not a problem at the moment if it encourages people to observe social distancing rules. Try to imagine a situation where there had been no social distancing of any sort, and no lockdown - if we had simply allowed the disease to take its course and not responded in any way. Had that been the case then about half the population would, in due course, become infected - you would have your herd immunity but how many more deaths would there have been ? Any conservative estimate would place the British, or German, death toll as being in the millions had that been the course adopted. The lockdown has saved lives - many of them, and if this has been achieved with an element of fear then so be it. Everybody who has worn masks, and observed social distancing, has contributed,in a small way, to saving lives - it is not every day that everyone can contribute in such a way to the community.

 

You are such a conformist to the propaganda, Odie.

 

Do you disagree that the figures released on a daily basis for coronavirus deaths were inflated? Did you believe them at the time and continue to?

The thing about excess deaths is that they’re excess to an average or trend, both of which can go up or down for myriad reasons.

 

It is quite possible, I’d have thought.
