Coronavirus

[Bjornebye]

No scientists at the briefing? Have they told the government that they are going to kill more people and then been censored?

I'd like to see these figures with care homes stripped out.

https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-daily-deaths/

 

These are all hospital deaths of Covid19 in hospitals in England.

6 recorded yesterday.

Lowest since 10 March.

 

25 people under the age of 60 have died in hospital in England of Covid 19 in the past week.

 

45 the week before.

 

62 the week before that.

 

66 before that.

 

103 before that.

 

121 before that.

 

186....

 

Of these, I don't know how many had underlying issues.

I might read this thread from Page 1 and relive the thrill of the pandemic all over again. I'm looking forward to the bit where some people say "it's just flu loads die every year anyway" and then 60,000 Brits die in  just over three months. 

 

At least I know it's got a happy ending with queues of zombies around the block trying to get into Zara and Primark.

I can understand the 'just flu' line at the start as nobody knew much at all about it.

It's when people persist with this foolishness I begin to question their motives, their sanity and their intelligence

It'll be like the Istanbul thread in reverse.

Alot of those would have died eventually anyway...

England almost down to 50 deaths per day now.

 

Assume they’ll see how this & the weeks after 4th July go but I wonder what & when they’ll lift more restrictions?

[easytoslip]

An elderly person died in a Care Home here last week, the girl who worked said they put it down to Covid 19 on the  certificate even though that wasn't the case, so whatever that means?

Who’s to know if these figures are true? Personally, I’m taking them with a pinch of salt.

Sea salt, I hope.

Why would you suddenly disbelieve the figures now?

[Bobby Hundreds]

I think I kind of stopped believing the figures when they added past deaths onto the new lower figures purely to keep the number below a 1000 when it was at its worst. Obviously they say that wasn't the reason and obviously I think they're lying fucks.

I’ve always taken them with a pinch of salt, and will continue to do, especially now that it is “time to get the economy moving again”.

Is it usual for a virus to attack the system in so many different ways?

New Zealand gets its first new cases in weeks. Unsurprisingly, they're imported from the UK- https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/16/new-zealand-records-first-new-covid-19-cases-after-women-arrive-from-uk-carrying-virus

 

Releasing them from quarantine without being tested was really poor, especially as one of them was having symptoms, hopefully they won't make that mistake again.

One of them admitted to feeling sick! But said it was something else. So much for the New Zealand geniuses.

So much for them? Well, I mean apart from two Brits, the entire nation is clean. I’d take that level of stupid right here, right now!

I think they were Kiwis who travelled back from the UK.

Still letting them out from quarantine early without testing seems a bit stupid. That is partly the point also though right? New Zealand aren’t geniuses, they’ve just been mildly competent.

Studies reported on in the Guardian and the Financial Times both show wide ranging and perhaps long lasting effects of Coronavirus on respiratory and neurological systems. I might just stay in my own lockdown for a while longer.

[Remmie]

Is it wrong that I am slightly amused by the cases of covid in NZ? All these smug Facebook posts pretending to understand politics in New Zealand and lauding the Prime minister because she took her baby into parliament and "solved" the corona virus problem. While I'm sure they've managed it infinitely better than the staggering dribblechins here, the countries are not comparable in terms of population and proximity to large populous areas. Australia has a hugely incompetent, twattish, right wing government and sailed through this as well. 

 

Yes it is wrong that I'm amused is the answer

[Numero Veinticinco]

I think they did very well in NZ. As the PM said, there will be more cases. Whoever made the decision to let them go made a mistake. I'm not sure it calls for finger pointing and snickering.

It is time though, because if we don’t barely any of us will have a future, some will be lucky to have a roof over their heads this time next year. I honestly think people are not grasping how horrific this depression is going to be.
