Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[BlueToff]

Of course it's strange. Why haven't the UK government/PHE given the organisation Coronavirus Worldomter information?

Don't know, I don't work for the government. But I do know more will have recovered so I'm not really going to worry about it.

I know six people who have had symptoms (one confirmed positive) and three have fully recovered (only one of them had any half-serious symptoms).

The other three are still in isolation but all fine.

They all recover, well only one of them (the bloke who got tested) will count in the stats, whenever those stats get updated.

In what respect mate sorry?

I know the vast, vast majority of people who go to A&E genuinely need it, of course. It's just there will be some who just use it as a port of call at times and maybe the fact that this is all happening is encouraging them to not jump straight to a&e.

Many admissions to A&E are from idiots being idiots. Ergo, not an accident. And a similar number are not emergencies. Hence the 4 hour target for waiting. The NHS wont leave an emergency admission for 4 hours.

Grow up. That's like saying all the smokers or obese people don't deserve to be treated

Not really.

They are putting themselves at risk.
You are putting others (and yourself) at risk.

We can find ways to keep people afloat without it costing additional lives. And going early will only put us in deeper crap if we have to shut it all down again.

It is strange that the number hasn't been updated

Maybe, just maybe, the folk working in the NHS are a bit busy right now, and don't really care that some dozy people on the internet ( not you ), are getting stressed about it and probably drumming up conspiracy theories aas I type ?

We have to try and restart sometime mate (what was posted was probably a tad optimistic like) or do we stay on permanent lockdown till a vaccine has been created in 12 - 18 months time?

I checked road closure/slow traffic etc earlier on google maps. The main arteries are normally a sea of red and amber. Apart from a small section on M25 red and the one you mentioned on M5 Amber, the rest of the country looked fine....may have changed though....

We're classed as a key supplier to the food industry, so I'm still out and about most days - usually up and down the M1 corridor. The motorways and arterial roads (A50, A38, A57 etc.) have been very quiet. Most of the journeys are into industrial estates, but any normal roads with housing have been incredibly quiet also. I think the public are following the lock-down pretty well but a few idiots get picked up via social media and people think it's everyone but them who are not following the protocols.

I agree but international flights on June 1st is utter madness. I'd think that June 1st would be closer to when we start going back to work and not being in complete isolation.

The key in getting back to a someone normal life is testing. The US and UK aren't there. Not even close. And because of the lack of ability to find the lingering cases, trace them and their contacts, and isolate those people, there really can't be a return to total normality prior to a vaccine or we probably will have an outbreak again.
