They are awful. You have to really get up in there or false negatives will be high.

No other country has a flossy headed psychopath as their political leader.

Murica does.

Which means it's probably somewhere in the middle the vast majority of the time

To a degree. But I think it's more a case of roughly half the people see Andrew Neil giving Jeremy Corbyn a hard time and call it right wing, and the other half see Andrew Marr a few days later giving Boris Johnson a hard time and call it left wing.

We generally see what we want to see.

Now starting to see the mental health repercussions for those on the frontline.

They will have some truly awful visions in their minds for years to come.
I hope they will all get the aftercare that they need once this awful tragedy is over.

If they worked in healthcare before then they are likely well accustomed to it.

Feedback from my missus has been that for many nurses this experience won't have been as difficult or stressful in working hours as most Flu outbreaks are each winter.

Nurses get crap heaped on them year after year as standard.

Not on these levels where you are seeing people die in such horrific circumstances on a very regular basis... more regular than previously experienced.

There is a gap in the market for B.B.R. on the front of a face mask.

*To be worn at all public protests this year of 2020.

Looks like these lady's had the right idea all along...
Going to get myself burka, post that Johnson and you liberal blurt. Those who laugh last laugh the loudest...

 

[Barnfred 55]

I know this isn't in any way good, but it's surely less than those people who have been screaming that it was going to double, is?

I don't understand where that information came from. It says ONS but ONS have only released death statistics up until 17th April today. The figures to 24th April will be released next Tuesday,

Can anybody shed any light on this?

I imagine seeing someone come in mangled from a smash on the motorway is a bit more horrific than watch a geriatric slip away in their sleep due to this.

I'm sure she'll also tell you that mental health provision probably isn't as available or adequate enough to meet all the need, especially after major incidents.

Bit most just develop good coping mechanisms and use peer support.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Yes, face coverings. Same point, though. Cover up. If EVERYONE wore a mask of a certain standard then it'd cut down on transmission.

It's interesting that you, an academic, are so in favour of this despite there being no peer reviewed research showing they do anything. The mood is very much that these will be mandatory so that governments can say they're doing stuff, but intellectually, you seem to be backing these on a feeling rather than evidence?

Notification of a death from a home is available more quickly as data than official death registration.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Probably not many. If you asked them how many gloves they had, I’d bet they’d give the answer in pairs though.

Without knowing how many garments the industry needs though, it just seems a case of attempting to wind people up. I wonder why the media would want to do that?

Maybe, but adrenaline and need to act quickly mean you get little time to think about trauma whereas a slow death gives lots of time for reflection. Hard to suggest one is more damaging than the other.

Does sort of prove that people shouldn't go around quoting newspaper predictions as 'fact'.

'40000 deaths'
