Billy Jean King Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 The English CMO said only yesterday they expected a 3 week plateau once the peak was reached where deaths would even off or decline very slowly before any appreciable reductions. If you based that at current death rates UK wide that would be a further 15000 plus deaths before and real tail off which is sobering stuff. A one day decline in deaths is pretty meaningless, good all the same but it could be up again tomorrow. Don't forget it's only the beginning of this month that we started to get regular double figures of deaths, so it's not likely to suddenly tail off just 10 days later. The same with new infections, they've got to be taken over longer period than even just a few days to show any kind of trend. The good news is that the while the infection rate is still growing on a daily basis, it's possibly not growing quite as fast as it was. 'travellingtabby's' note from yesterdays figures says "The total number of infections has risen by 9% from yesterday, and 25% from three days ago", . And don't forget, its the number of infections that will slow first, the death toll will take a bit longer to slow. That's not an indication of reaching a peak and starting to decline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Limmy is Janey Godley without the HRT.He absolutely is. It’s pretty much the same act. I’d be hard pushed to sit through either yet another politics bar thing, or another brutally unfunny voiceover. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is there a plan to include the care home and deaths at home - or are we just continuing indefinitely with incomplete stats? 37 minutes ago, DeeTillEhDeh said: Drop in hospital deaths - but won't include deaths in care homes etc. Difficult to tell tbqh. 46 minutes ago, Turkmenbashi said: Belgium is worst after Italy and Spain. Although apparently over here we have more expansive counting. In that unlike some countries all suspected care home deaths are included even if there is no testing done. Which is it? Do we (the UK) include all care home deaths as due to Covid-19 or do we only count hospital deaths? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Stockholm at 510 now, over 300 in ICU, hopefully a large % of the population are no longer susceptible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Quite like Limmy tbh. I did however, recently read his autobiography which, quite frankly, was, and I don’t use these words lightly by the way, fucking shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The daily figure does not include care homes etc at the moment, they are trying to include them in at some point next week. Just divide by 5 and multiply by 8 to give you an idea where the 4 UK countries stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I used to bang a lassie (massive (massive) chebs, nurse, wouldn't be out of place in this thread actually) that grew up near limmy and she always said he was an absolute tosser from a young age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
