joondalupjambo Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Lack of NHS resources creating problems. Lack of Police resources now creating problems. Wee bit of a common theme forming here, under fund your public services and lo and behold this is what you get in a time of need, more and more problems. How are Police to police in a situation like this. Government telling them for years to reduce numbers, to modernise policing methods and to increase the use new technology. So Derbyshire Police probably do have not enough boots on the ground due to the cuts, introduce new technology by way of drones, use them to monitor situations and are now being slammed.

Its a bummer right enough... however, the austerity ship was (probably ) the right one can you imagine what we would be facing now if the "magic money tree" had been shaken in 2008?

Wow the BBC report says 180 people died from 29th to 30th March so if the 393 is in the last 24 hours that is a flaming massive leap, more than double. I wonder if this new figure includes the poor folks who have died out with a hospital, they said yesterday on the daily briefing that this was to start to be counted.

Brighton Jambo Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Big increase today but it looks like it was expected as it includes a number of backdated deaths (edit this is for NHS England only as NHS Scotland still determining whether to adopt same approach) - see below from Guardian. The reported death toll from coronavirus in the UK is set to increase beyond the NHS’s daily tally on Tuesday when fatalities outside of hospitals are counted for the first time. Figures from the NHS and Public Health England have so far been the key barometer of the impact of the virus but they have not included any deaths in homes, care homes and other non-hospital settings. Daily figures for Monday showed a rise in the UK death toll of 209 to 1,408 people, but these are only people who died in NHS care. The Office for National Statistics will start publishing data about the rest of the deaths from 9.30am on Tuesday giving a fuller picture of the impact of Covid-19. They will tally all of the deaths from late December until 20 March which they believe occurred outside hospitals. Unlike the NHS figures, which are limited to people who tested positive for the disease, they will also include cases where it is mentioned as a suspected cause on death certificates.

Last week I was saying to the wife that if/when things return to normality it’d be nice to think people would have a bit more respect for others. A bit more appreciation for what we have, how lucky we are. Then I walked to Tesco’s. Whole families taking up the complete width of the cycle path leaving it impossible to adhere to the 2m distancing. Folk jumping the queue to get in the supermarket, folk acting like deranged lunatics inside the supermarket. As I say, dicks. I’d go further but it’s maybe not for a public forum.
