Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Brennan]

All well and good if you have space money to buy and run said freezer let alone transport to get home quickly before it turns to mush some people can't afford the minium order for delivery, thought such ivory tower chat was dubunked when that Tory with a train lived off benefits for a week in the 90s.

Not really sure what you’re on about here tbh.

The discussion was about whether you can buy healthy food on a budget, you obviously can.

Ivory tower ? Don’t get it.

Matching shoes? You have high standards.

Tell you what, don't just double the number... TRIPLE the number, and assume the flu deaths haven't increased a lot either (during flu season even). Then get back to me.

With what? Assumptions that all methods of death have a completely linear graph in the last 12 days? Are you serious?

insert needless set of emoji's here

Assuming that the rate of deaths of a new coronavirus doesn't peak and start to decline? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Look, I've already spoke about the numbers you utter plum. 11 deaths in the non-elderly, how is this a rational response? Protip: it isn't.

 

[Toast]

Over 750 deaths again today.
We are at the peak they are saying.

 

[RAFUH]

So care home deaths double what was reported and false all clear on tests now as well.





BTW Ireland had some false all clear results as well about 2 weeks ago.

Wow. She needs more extensive PPE for testing

Matt Hancock saying were at the peak, if we are at the peak then what's the time scale back down, seems to be a longer way back to normal than it is getting to the peak by looking at Italy and spain

Much longer - the peak for them has been a few weeks of plateau followed by a gradual decline.

From the onset of this virus here in the UK families have been allowed to omit Coronavirus from death certificates, and now Drs, are being encouraged to use terms such pneumonia or community acquired pneumonia and ommiting any reference to Coronavirus... The same was done with HIV, it never killed anyone, don't you know... If a Tory starts shouting numbers and statistics, run to Grandma and grandpa house and do a welfare check immediately...

That just isn't true.

The CMO confirmed that ALL GPs have been instructed to include CV-19 on all death certificates in the community where the deceased showed symptoms. I'm not aware of a single GP who has stepped up and denied this.

Now that there is more testing in care homes we should get a more accurate figure but unless you're questioning our GPs integrity your post has no founding

Jesus Christ. I asked for actual evidence not clickbait... So you link me up to the daily mail... Again no evidence.

Have you actually thought that the hospitals in that are may have larger ICU capacity... Hence more deaths?

You stated you wanted to be guided by experts...I linked you to a page that had 'experts' saying it needed looking at.

You concluded the story was about evidence already established, not me.

Please take the time to read what's posted, not what you want to believe is posted.

lol

You quoted and bolded this:



Which was a response to this:



and said this



You silly tit.

I didn't bold any of those quotes you said I did.

Can you actually find your way around a forum and understand who wrote/emphasised what? It doesn't look like it.

Maybe you should focus on the issue and stop, for once, trying to snide your way through a thread?

Oh the irony.

My eyes must be going...

No you can answer your assumption, do you think in the last 12 days (days you deliberately missed off from your data) there have been three times as many deaths from influenza as there have been from COVID 19? because that is absolutely what you were insinuating, and if you move the goalposts around again I'm just going to get bored and ignore you

Face masks can easily be adjusted.

Not easily for N95s as you need a good seal even as you move your head around and talk. Different designs of the N95 might fit you better than others. If the NHS only buys one design you may not find one that seals sufficiently to pass the fit test.

I qualified that post later when it was wilfully seized upon by another poster.
