It seems that most people are obeying the restrictions. Where we live, we would normally have a lot of day trippers the weekend and bank holidays especially. The weekend just before they announced the current restrictions was absolute bedlam, it was like the entire city came to the country.

This weekend, that number is way down. There are a few non locals around, so you just know they are more than 2km from home, but from what I have seen here, it looks like around 70% compliance (for those who would normally be here).

Since supermarkets are supposed to be real "hot spots" for infection, wouldn't it be great if there was a way to increase the number of delivery slots? This might persuade people to stay at home more. I could see that having a really beneficial impact.

In terms of restrictions, it will be interesting to see how far they can "push it".

Taxi men surely aren't doing as much business? Not sure why the supermarket cant pick an order and put it into the boot of the car for delivery? Customer takes order from boot taxi man doesn't leave the car. Set up a taxi rank outside the door and have streams of orders going out all day?

The test is virus specific?

Another coronavirus such as the common cold wouldn't give a positive reading?

No, it is specific to this strain.

I think the virus was released on purpose. The lying CCP has said it came from a wet market in Wuhan (easy to believe). There's a bio lab a couple of meters from the market the virus was meant to have come from.

They should be fcuked over and held accountable.

Fairly stupid of them to have unleashed it on their own population first and give us a heads up a few months in advance.

Other way round. BCG was one I got in primary school. Rubella as a baby - the MMR vaccine.

No bcg is given as a baby, the supply ran out from April 2015 the decision was made that we no longer needed the vaccination. It is now off the immunisation schedule.

Your bcg is the triangle scaring on your arm. No children under 5 have this now. MMR is still given all injections go into the child's thigh., they also get the "6 in 1" and rotavirus which is given as drops.

We as children would also have received the polio vaccination along with the sugar cube in primary school. I think in one of the junior classes. Then the girls would receive a booster rubella at around 12, so 6th class.

What are doctor certs saying? For example if someone in their 80s with a history of weak heart complications gets a bug and it finishes them off do they test for Covid 19 and if it's a positive is that considered the cause of death?

A family member has passed from it, and essentially yes.

They initially thought cause of death was a heart problem as he was elderly with a heart condition. Post mortem revealed it was the virus which caused it, he had a mild cold essentially. His cause of death is the virus apparently.

What are the stats on ICU admissions today?

Duke of Url · 04-04-2020 07:20PM

Did the say how many covid patients are currently as in today in ICU?

josip · 04-04-2020 07:21PM

I don't have numbers for current ICU occupants, but the expected continued flattening of the ICU admissions is worth showing.

I think we're well on track for a partial relaxing of restrictions before the end of April if this trend continues.

Our death toll for the amount of cases we have and our population is high. Why are we doing so poorly compared to some other countries?

I think we are particularly rubbish at testing and thus the death / cases ratio is high because we are missing a lot of cases. But looking at the death / population ratio we are still Bette than many European countries (which could change though).

And then go back into restrictions in a few weeks when there is a new curve to flatten? Is that the way it is going to be for a while now .

A pieces summarising the allegation of countries (especially the US) highjacking PPE bound to other countries.

Another 17 deaths unfortunately but all things considered we're doing remarkably well, im sure two weeks ago, seeing the numbers that have unfolded across Europe, if anyone told you we'd be at the numbers we're at you'd have taken it with both hands.

We're a day closer to seeing our isolation measures taking effect and we haven't seen a totally disastrous day yet. Some things could have been better but all things considered theres very few countries we'd swap places with.

I don't think it's nonsense to suggest that. Going back to the restrictions we had originally would be a good move at the end of April. They were doing a pretty good job.

We also got the meningitis c injection too whilst in school. I got it in 5th year I believe when it was first introduced. Babies are given it now I think.

Looking at that graph, if we continue on that path, come the 3rd week in April the **** will begin to hit the fan with ICU beds all taken up.

Then the panic, reality, deaths and hysteria will set in.

People will die. In such a small country it's inevitable we will all be affected. Some people haven't grasped that yet.
There will be no partial relaxation for a good while longer
