Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

It needs to be suppressed further...which is why LCC / LCRs Covid19 spreading pilot scheme last week was never warranted.

A lot of the Merseyside hospitals have zero covid patients in ICU. The scheme last week was very timely. We need more events and more opening up as deaths are now extremely low. Some measures may be needed in September/October but thats a separate matter.

This reminds me I need to book some indoor pubs for the WC 17th.

Correct decision.

No full-time return to the office for over a million

Almost all of 50 big UK firms tell the BBC staff will divide their time between home and office in future.

Do you think they all 4 events needed to be in Liverpool, or do you think that was asking for trouble?

Time will tell Dave. Let's see if any positive cases are found. People who went to the events are probably getting their follow up tests done yesterday/today I believe.

Maybe that's why we still have 2,000 new cases per day and the infection rate is going up again in parts of Merseyside and North West England?

Well done proles.

Where’s it going up in Merseyside, news to me ?

It’s never really gone down in those parts of the North West has it.

If you care to actually look at those figures, all of them are below the NW rate, even Warrington which is the closest as of yesterday. 7 areas are below the England rate with 5 at half or less, and 6 are in the 200s in terms of national ranking

That was optional.

Sefton/Southport.

Not as we want them though.

 

[Charro]

What about deaths and hospitalisations?

Still seems to evade some does that.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Are countries able to pause their rollout to provide assistance or will this mess the whole thing up?

 

[BlueStevie35]

Not as we want them though.

Liverpool - 10 cases per 100,000 with just 50 cases
St Helens - 10 cases per 100,000 with just 18 cases
Wirral - 10.8 cases per 100,000 with just 35 cases

They are the lowest 3 in the region, even Sefton and Warrington are outside the top 50 despite a slight rise

 

[Mrk]

Doubt it would make any difference. Once you see exponential growth like that vaccines won't help, as it would take weeks for them to be sent to India, distributed, used, and then there is a few weeks delay before the vaccine provides any kind of immunity... hellish situation.

 

[COYBL25]

Sefton/Southport.

But no transferring into hospital admissions or deaths.

It wasn’t that long ago that you were screaming, that deaths and hospitalisations were all that mattered.

Now that they’re under control, you’ve swung back to the infection rate, as you’re new hobby horse.

But do crack on.
