FWJ Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 7 hours ago, Footballfirst said: It's not far off the mark if you take the whole of the UK population of 67.1m and divide it by 137,200 deaths. You get a 1 on 489 chance of dying of Covid, which equates to a 0.2% death rate, or a 99.8% survival rate if everyone in the UK had contracted the virus. I’d imagine as well that the recovery rate depends on the ready availability of acute hospital care. If we’d let it roar through the population I’m sure there would have been far more deaths. We’re simply not used to young people (or otherwise healthy older people) dying of infectious diseases, particularly in large numbers. Had hospitals been overwhelmed and staff were forced to choose who got a respirator or people were dying in hospital car parks, my suspicion is the social unrest would be much greater than we’ve seen with the lockdowns.

Don Dan Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 5 hours ago, jonesy said: Finally, a sensible move. Governments shouldn’t be handing out things like this. By all means have a public health promotional campaign if they must, but folk need to take responsibility for themselves. Vulnerable may not be able to take responsibility for themselves. Maybe that’s why they are classed as vulnerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely correct. The scale/volume/rate of hospital presentation absolutely would have resulted in a dystopian situation in hospitals and even in areas such as management of the deceased. The ability to treat everyone who presented versus the inability to treat even a majority. Forget any deflection about unused field hospital spaces. Manpower resource alone would have been hopelessly swamped. The survival rate figures are completely reliant on the fact that the situation allowed treatment for everyone.

Like what happened in Italy, where the army had to transport the dead all over the country to be cremated, because there was such a backlog in the North where more people were dying than all the crematoria in Northern Italy could deal with.

Currently 1 in 7 (roughly) of people in the UK in hospital with Covid are in Scotland and I wondered if we record it differently? The way that the individual nations record things has been pretty standardised regarding the major metrics for a while now so that we can aggregate our stats. We've recently had a much higher case peak up here than the rest of the UK, however, and I just reckon it is as simple a reason as all that extra Covid sloshing around that has led to the hospitalisations. That peak is easier to visualise in the handy graph from Travelling Tabby below. The surge we saw up here was generated, on the whole, by the younger population and then spread into the older population, so although the overall case rate peaked a few weeks ago and began falling again, it was in the latter half of the "bell" that it really took hold among the older, more readily hospitalised, section of the population. Hopefully with cases dropping, we'll see a good recovery in hospital numbers soon. That is only my subjective opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for budgets well it’s a false economy really if it isn’t provided to people who maybe can’t afford it . Plenty money for bikes and laptops though ! Funnily enough I'd really like to see a major rethink in the way the NHS goes about it's business particularly with regard to preventative care and screening in an effort to improve health proactively rather than just sweep up the pieces later. One of the interesting facets of my time in Japan was that I was compelled to go for an annual MOT, I've tried to continue with that since as I remember well that it highlighted an issue that was easily and cheaply fixed simply by being proactive. I know it's unfashionable but I think we lack challenge as a nation when it comes to the NHS as it has untouchable status, no reason why we can't cherish the values of universal health care and insistence on modernisation/better value at the same time.

This is zero breaking news really . The flu always kills thousands per winter . The number are usually lower than that so I’m assuming it’s back to scare mongering again since people seem less anxious now regarding covid . Gotta keep ur going !!

So sorry should I have been hiding under my bed for the last few decades rather than just the last 19 months? My sarcasm aside the fact that, as you completely correctly state, this has been on the cards for years just makes the evident lack of contingency planning all the more inexcusable. As for how we ended up here I'm not sure we can completely rule out that scientists haven't played a hand in that too; https://www.wsj.com/articles/covid-19-coronavirus-lab-leak-virology-origins-pandemic-11633462827 Before you call for me to be sectioned I agree that we should listen and learn but we also need to challenge and give perspective. We've been vaccinated for COVID and we'll shortly start getting an opportunity for booster shots, that's great work and imo gives us enough comfort that we can and should get on with our lives. The annual flu shot lotto - whose efficacy typically runs at a little over a third, though depending who is selling you will see higher numbers quoted - is now up and running and fingers crossed this be helpful as I'm taking my shot Monday. While I'm hoping the Quadrivalent vaccines will be an improvement over the Trivalent the odds on this aren't actually as good as a coin flip, any scientist that tells you they can accurately predict what will happen with flu this season is seriously overplaying their hand; https://www.uabmedicine.org/-/flu-strains-explained-and-how-the-vaccine-works https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/quadrivalent.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmm hospitals did unfortunately have to choose who got treatment,hence many elderly people were sent back to care homes early on in the pandemic clearly with covid however most were untested and care homes told simply to isolate. Patients were triaged on arrival at hospital too and some given nothing but end of life palliative care to save ICU beds. Hopefully a public inquest will allow all of these things to be fully investigated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambof3tornado Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 18 hours ago, JamesM48 said: Yes just when people are less anxious etc we get the flu scare . This is zero breaking news really . The flu always kills thousands per winter . The number are usually lower than that so I’m assuming it’s back to scare mongering again since people seem less anxious now regarding covid . Gotta keep ur going !! Its factually correct many hospitals didnt see as many patients with respiratory illnesses last winter because so many were being really careful but also because home carers were wearing masks and gloves etc so there was less flu doing the rounds. It stands to reason that this winter things will be worse than last,only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
