Spellczech Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 1 minute ago, kila said: The extra ventilator plan is probably not going to help too much according to an ICU doctor I'm friends with, as the knowledge on how to configure them for each patient is not something you can learn quickly despite Hancock saying they were retraining staff. They said it was akin to an air steward being given 5 mins to learn how to fly a plane. Throw in the oxygen supply issue (Italy has already pretty much run out) and pipe networks involved to make ICU wards function too and the only realistic solution is to flatten the curve by staying indoors. The positive they said was the army getting involved and helping with adaption as their expertise in demanding situations and makeshift solutions will be key. Key point being reiterated is stay inside and don't go out. Folk still have heart attacks, strokes etc and we're lowering their survival chances. We only see the Covid-19 death numbers being those infected and died directly, not those are critically ill from other means who are having treatment impacted. Whilst true, this is for the complicated ones in ICU. The ones G-Tech are building are far more rudimentary. You are right though, my wife is crapping herself at getting a crash course in ICU in an afternoon for a specialism that should take 2 months to learn, and she already knows how to intubate, do the colostomy tubing too etc...

Two can't work from home so are just off. 3 are working from home. I go to the office to deal with the admin and delegation of work to the three, answer the telephone and deal with bills and banking. Can I go to work? Divert the calls to your mobile. Easy to do. Depending on what kind of work you do you can get stuff linked to iPad/laptop.

If you don't get this is a historic event which is unparalleled in living memory you're not in touch with reality. You think the entire globe is so stupid they're instituting draconian measures which will have a massively detrimental effect on economies for years to come simply due to panic. Your stupidity is frankly mind boggling. And if it's the rest of the world who are stupid well you get out there informing them with your genius insight as Italy creeps closer towards a thousand dead in a day. We need geniuses like you in this mix. Not meaning to detract from your point but I'm sure Italy are not edging closer to 1,000 deaths a day. Number has dropped last 2 days.

The other thing they said was the ICU ventilators are the highest end ones because they're designed for someone to be on them for a long time and are really precise so can be very fine tuned for amount of pressure etc. While they have portable ventilators they not quite as high tech (or precise) and really meant for transporting a patient from say A&E to theatre during a short period and being on one of those for a long period increases chance of some other problems arising. The high end ones are manufactured at a rate of 1200 per month, but who knows maybe with so many firms coming together with universities that the electronic side to control and regulate the flow precisely will be achieved in a short space of time. Hope your wife does well in being retrained, must be really scary to be in control of such delicate parameters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things don’t improve over the next week, then lockdown for everyone. From what I can tell the problem in Italy has been escalating due to people fleeing the north which has clearly spread it at a frightening rate across the nation so perhaps a London lockdown isn’t a bad idea but I’m not sure how they’ll enforce it? The German approach would definitely make a difference here with the younger generation congregating like there’s nothing actually happening.

On the face of it, yes there have been many things worse than Covid. But, apart from Aids which isn't just ordinarily contagious, only swine flu has killed more in living memory. (Covid has now overtaken Ebola) This is unique because it's occurring at a time when it's never been easier to travel across the world, meaning it's spreading like wildfire. This is really affecting so called first world nations. And it's not over yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
