A further person has died after testing positive for coronavirus - bringing the total number of deaths in Scots hospitals from the virus to 2,363. Figures released by the Scottish Government on Monday revealed that the number of positive cases of Covid-19 has risen to 15,418, which is an increase of 18 compared to yesterday’s figures. The number of people being treated for confirmed or suspected cases of the virus in hospital stands at 1,046 with 27 patients in intensive care. The latest statistics were released by Nicola Sturgeon at her afternoon press conference - which marks the fourth day of some restrictions being lifted in Scotland.

Victorian Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 It's quite a statement for a clinician to make. It goes way beyond the type of outlier theory or opinion that a clinician or scientist might make regarding the modelling or epidemiological aspects of the science. To make an outlandish claim like that, assuming it's evidence based, is derived from more practical, tangible things that can be observed and measured. It should be viewed with scepticism though because it was accompanied by some other comments about the lockdown and economy, perhaps suggesting this guy has his own agenda, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real outlandish predictions were those made by the scientists at the outset. Fag packet calculations predicting 500k deaths and 80% infection rates were nonsensical. Most of us heard the same before with SARS, Swine Flu, etc. They were as wildly out then as they are now. The UK govt certainly seem to be seeing through some of the advice they are being given.

I don't think 500k is an unrealistic number. It was a predicted outcome from a model assuming no delay measures were carried out. Lockdown, etc. We're at 40,000 to 60,000 already and that's with a lengthy lockdown-lite. No lockdown at all meant an R rate of 3 or 4. Tens of Millions of infections and most of the hospitalised cases not receiving therapeutic O2. 500k was not a viable choice but it was not unrealistic. If it's now weakening away (albeit temporarily) then good. Edited June 1, 2020 by Victorian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Just found out that a friend of a friend caught covid-19 back in march. She's been in and out of hospital since. She's only just about able to manage going downstairs from bed to lay on the sofa all day. She now has permanent heart damage. She has been told by doctors not to exercise for the next 6 months. The lassie is a member of a running club and has done several ultra marathons (50-65km) and had no underlying health problems (she does now). Folk need to start taking this seriously.
