126- deaths?
Still at 126 as stays in icu are long or what?

As well as deaths, some cases will have recovered and been sent home.

He is a contrarian who's views are a direct contradiction to the majority scientific opinion on this pandemic.

Science doesn't work by taking a show of hands.

(Although where has it has been established that a majority of scientists share the opinion of Ferguson, Fauci etc.? That is not at all clear.)

Here is the opinion of a Professor of Molecular Pharmacology at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris.

There is no evidence to show that the 2019 coronavirus is more lethal than respiratory adenoviruses, influenza viruses, coronaviruses from previous years, or rhinoviruses responsible for the common cold.

This is positive news then. No member of the public will be any the wiser as to how many are in ICU at any given time so.

126 cases in ICU with 80+ deaths, can we read between lines then that ICU numbers are not over the 100 mark?

At least some of those who died never made it into the ICU. Or the hospital. One of those who died recently was in a nursing home, she was refused admission to the hospital and was sent back to the nursing home, basically to die. Which she did.

The conspiracy theorist in me might say that inflating the ICU numbers using a metric which can never reduce could be used as a justification for actions such as turning people away from hospital.

just been answered in the press conference.

its the total number admitted but as per normal icu stays are for a long time so it likley most of the 126 are still there

That was not said, and as morbid as it sounds, deaths will reduce the number in ICU.

An HIQA report today said the median time was 7 days in ICU

Yeah, deaths will adjust things. Either way they seem to be waiting but calm about the ICU situation.

For ****s sake, Business Insider a German version of the Mail, Axel Springer AG site.

Headline...
Italy said it was useless and accused them of a PR stunt.

content
...
The footage of the convoy was widely shared on social media, but Italian officials speaking anonymously to La Stampa said as much as 80% of the delivered material was useless, and that the operation appears to be a public-relations stunt with little practical benefit to the country's healthcare system.
...

La Stampa a headline today is about NATO COVID-19 supplies on April 1st., reading down the supplies are from Turkey!

There are forums dedicated to geopolitical propaganda.

So why do they say there’s 126 in icu when the cumulative number is 126 not the real time number.
It’s real time number that matters when your looking at resources available surely?

Not really. From the rest of the article (his elderly wife also had the virus, but with mild symptoms).

"The researchers said that this information could point towards a new mild sub-type of COVID-19 which while not as transmissible could be harder to eliminate."

Interestingly there was also a mutation in Singapore earlier in the outbreak that researchers suspected made it milder, but easier to spread. Because humans are removing the most critically ill from circulation (and into hospitals), and not really finding asymptomatic cases, we're actually encouraging a milder and less obvious form of the disease to emerge - fingers crossed.

Dear Covid-19, For the love of God, just fcuk right off.

My take on this is that there are probably still roughly 126 maybe 110 or so in ICU at this very point. They have said now for sure this is the figure from the beginning. Remember the beginning is not at all long ago, so by the time people got to the point of needing ICU was probably over the past 2 weeks. So MOST of the cases are still in ICU as its only 10-14 days. I also take from it that many of those in Nursing homes who have died were NOT admitted to ICU, otherwise those numbers would be gone down by now.

Turn off boards, don't listen to the news, if your at home - watch films, learn something new - don't use your phone.

josip · 01-04-2020 06:10PM

Regardless of what the ICU numbers actually represent, that trend (blue line) is closely following the least worst case prediction (green) from a few days ago.

tom1ie · 01-04-2020 06:10PM

I may have missed this but why do we get the cumulative icu bed figures and not the real time figures?

I got the tablets (I think I still have them somewhere, 4 or 5 of them in a cut-up blister with the seal half damaged), I never got my tree (who can I ring about that?), but I did get my Millennium Candle. Did you get that, at least?

No, i never got that either, i was living in a house that was split in to apartments and flats at that time so another tenant must have got it lol
All joking aside, and to keep with the topic of the thread, i would have thought the leaflets would have gone nationwide around the same time?

Number of cases in ICU in the Lombardy region of Italy has actually declined.

They can't see the irony of thinking Trump/BoJo are horrible people, yet they are wishing for large death totals in these countries so they can be somehow proven correct in their assertions... quite perverse really! :rolleyes:

This is exactly why.

If the death toll is high expect some will relish in saying I told you so
