What the fook is a roundabout figure?
The reason I was interested was because it was an alarming feed that came out of Italy. They were trying to get the message across, everyone is focusing on the virus...hence some complacency like we have seen in London, but they wanted to change the message to say, if you have a heart attack or a stroke or any other medical life threatening condition, those people will die, that may have stood a chance of surviving.
In many ways the number of deaths are an irrelevance, particularly for those affected. I know nothing of your own circumstances. I have no idea if you are married, have kids, parents still alive, etc, and I would certainly never wish harm on you or your loved ones. The following is just an example.
Imagine the following scenario where we give society the following choice. We could wave a magic wand and decide that only 10 people in this country needed to die and that life could go on as normal for everybody else, or have a magic wand that said we can shut everything down and all self isolate for 3 months, with potentially millions of people being affected economically but nobody would die. Most people would choose the first option when it is a faceless 10 people verses their own well-being. At least they would until we told them that the 10 people who die will be your wife/partner, your parents, your children and all your best friends. Then **** gets real. Regardless of numbers, this is the option we are giving society. We're just not in a position to let people know in advance if they are one of the winners or losers. On top of that, every bit of medical and scientific expertise being shared tells us this will be thousands and thousands of deaths if we do nothing.
I would imagine it's a case of saving the ones that have no underlying issues across the board, virus related or not.What the fook is a roundabout figure?

What I meant by roundabout figure, is average death rate per year.
They've known it helps reduce symptoms and possibly speed up recovery for a while.
This is from 6 weeks a go

Research released yesterday showed those not in ICU recover within 6 days if given HCQ and a regular anti biotic

Definitely going to help and I think is already being used in the far East.
I don't understand your first sentence?
My view is once a bed is taken it's taken if it's saving your life. So if those beds are all occupied by virus sufferers, then there will be no beds to save the everyday incidents which require urgent medical life saving expertise.
Cheers. It looks like according to SKY ticker that the drug HCQ is going to made ready for issue in America immediately.
Can I just ask, why are people still putting cards through doors
Although the risk is very low, I thought the virus could still be spread by parcels, post, junk mail?
https://www.health.com/condition/in...virus/can-the-coronavirus-spread-through-mail
My brother, who is a postman, was informed on Monday that he and his colleagues are essential service workers, and that the Royal Mail needs them to keep working as long as they show no symptoms.
A few of them pointed how out no one was calling them that when they were being privatised. But still...
There are around 60+ countries that have zero infections. I can't find the list atm but I think Djibouti may be on it
Before the lockdown, get a ticket out there... not for 7 days, at least a year until it all blows over
Siberia too mate... don't forget to pack your Speedos
I still remember the days posties were up at the crack of dawn with the milk delivery, these days i don't see postie until mid morning and mikman are a thing of the past.
Our school is staying open along with most other...cos the list of key workers is ****ing enormous.
Cleaners, cooks, delivery staff, everyone working in the NHS, everyone in education, refuse workers, fire fighters, shop staff, street cleaners, ware house staff, social services staff...and on and on it goes.
And the massive are turning up to work regardless of the risks to themselves
We have been asked to work though the Easter Holidays for free...all of us did not hesitate...am so proud of the team I work with.
We have 3 staff out of about 20 self isolating after coming into contact with the virus. And yet everyone comes in.
I am clinging onto these facts to balance out the stories of selfish behaviour, greed and profiteering.
Hope you're all well.

Its not just the deaths of non virus patients but the ceasing of lots of medical procedures will lead to large numbers of people left with life changing conditions which could have been averted .

Presumably all contractors providing services to the public sector will count as key workers for this purpose? That’s my assumption currently anyway which means loads of kids will still be at school.
