If it's killing more men, maybe the key the vaccine is through women's genetics. Just thinking out loud.

Remove ovaries from female mice and death rates are pretty much same.

 Fell a ****er The other day during a run. Struggling to lift my arm properly since. Normal times I would head along to the western get it checked but not going to bother. Think it is just jarred but it is quite swollen. 

 

Can't blame folk not wanting to add to the already struggling NHS. If folk are genuinely really ill though you are correct the need to go to their doctors. 

Call 111 first and they will advise.

 

I think West Lothian are trialling video conference checks with nurses, may be an option elsewhere.

 

It wasn't on your second run of the day?  You did say stuff the once out a day rules in an earlier post.

 

But seriously, this could lead to longer term damage.  Make the call.  Jason Leith told us to yesterday.

I went a walk with the family then went a run later in the evening. Hardly the crime of the century which was the point I was trying to make but It backfired spectacularly. Broke my phone as well.

 

I'll phone tomorrow if it isn't any better.

Think there's a balance between normal A+E usage and the current usage. Most of the time a large amount of the people waiting really have no need to be there and are just wasting resources.

People who are ill and  don't have Coronavirus need to get their arses to the hospital and the doctors. Folk falling ill and not wanting to bother the NHS is costing them their lives.

 

Mrs JJ went into work last week and there were 3 patients on the stroke ward, she asked where are all the patients (normally they can have 20+), the other nurses & doctors said they were wondering the same, one of the doctors said it's the same on the cardiac ward, only a few there as well.

 

They reckoned that folks are having heart attacks & strokes in the house and are not phoning 999, they'll find them in their house in the next week or so when the smell gets too bad.

 

It must be like this up and down the country, because I've heard in both the Scottish & English pressers, pleas being made for people who are really ill with heart attacks & strokes etc to call for an ambulance and that the NHS is still open.

My Daughter in Law is a Dr in St Johns A&E the other day they had 1 patient all day shift, 1 patient. Folks are just not going to hospital if they can help it.

Bollocks!!!  this virsus kills anyone doesn't matter how fit you are, 11 year old boy today died in England ****ing brutal man I'm in tears, such a cruel way to go out his family can't even properly get to give him a funeral. 

 

When is reality going to sink in to these Incompetent fools, this ain't going away. 

 

Until like people have said we have a vaccine, simple as the world that we live in today isn't the world we know.

 

Call me crazy all you want i don't care what people think about me, they say that 80% of people recover from this just having mild symptoms, I truly believe i had the mild symptoms, touch wood. 

 

What stats do they have to prove that as fact none? 

 

But ministers are aiming to lift the more drastic lockdown measures in weeks, including the potential of opening up schools in June, and shops.

Other non-essential services to be phased back in could include restaurants and pubs, although they may have to limit their numbers.

 

Your having a ****ing laugh man haha, that will result in nothing but genocide, will any of the ministers and government put themselves forward to be at risk. 

 

Look at China they have just opened back up only to lockdown again, what failures. 

 

all these questions have been answered on here and in the media albeit not the nice clean definite answers you are unrealistically looking for

 

the good news it might not be quite as bad you are thinking

Evil Witch asked twice to apologise for the government failing to provide enough PPE and for Hancock trying to blame NHS workers for using it too much.

She says, twice, "I'm sorry people feel that way"

America has now overtaken Italy to now have the worst death total, over 19,800, and will have over 20,000 by the end of today.

 

This is despite Trump saying last night that America were doing better than many other countries in terms of the number of deaths.

you can’t have a heart attack if you’re already dead boss

 

if every single person in uk committed suicide today do you think that might affect next week’s heart attack numbers?

 

just to be clear I never said they had all died from Covid only some (as yet an unknown number)

[Bongo 1874]

What sense does it make to ease a lockdown, all your doing is encouraging a second wave and alot more deaths not needed. 

 

Just look at China.

Ease the lockdown let's be honest this in the UK has barely been a lockdown apart from the folk that can't work because of it and struggling to get money in for the rest it's been treated like a holiday.While key workers still go out and put themselves at risk.

not really that’s why you need to make your own decisions up to a point

 

if boris declared tomorrow it was fine for you to cram onto the London tube would you?

 

folk will probably keep dying of this but at more manageable levels (still all tragedies for those involved obviously)

 

theres surely got to be a trade-off between ‘normal’ life and risk of dying of covid just like allowing cars, alcohol, bungee jumping to varying degrees

 

there’s also the chance of vaccine and better treatments worrying but don’t give up mate

And you will still have people who haven't got Covid-19 who have a heart attack or stroke, that's what I'm saying.

I'm not on about the people who have covid-19 I'm on about those who haven't.

There might be but I honestly think, in Scotland anyway, the reaction has been solid. England might be a different story but from what I've seen folk here are staying at home, only going out for a walk or jog or shops and always at least trying to keep their distance. There's always going to be a section of ***** that think they're above it all having house parties and stuff but it's an extreme minority imo.

I think the Tories are in full damage limitation mode over the last 2 or 3 days.  Thus far, they're failing miserably.

 

Doctoring numbers, shifting the blame onto nurses etc regarding ppe etc etc. This will only end one way.  Only those staunch Daily Mail and Sun reader will still be there come the end of this complete farce we're now seeing on a near daily basis.

 

Funny how the media were awash with Italian/Spanish reports when the numbers in both Spain and Italy were around the 700-800 mark.  Now we are hitting over 1000 per day (remember only hospital deaths have been reported), nothing.  They have nothing. We are now in a worse position than Italy and Spain ever were.  Let that sink in.  Thank **** we have Trump and the US to make us look good.

No they're not fiddling the figures or saying that, the figure Patel had trouble saying and got tongue tied with, is the total number of tests that has been done so far, not what has been done in the last day or two.

 

Worldometers has the current total UK tested figure at 334,974, yesterday that figure was 316,836 meaning that 18,138 were tested yesterday.

It gets particularly political after the UK press conference in the late afternoon so avoid that period if you don't like that sort of stuff. At other times, it can be really informative, although I think that folk are getting more jaded the further we get into this. Stick with it.

Indeed, guess it was only a matter of time.

 

I had hoped that by posting the story this morning from South Korea about the 91 people who have tested positive again after seemingly recovering from the virus would get the debate back on track, even briefly, but alas it seemed some were more interested on trying to score petty stupid political points, than acually discuss what the thread is supposed to be about.
