    What your saying is logical, it wouldn't surprise me if decisions like that were made if the number of severely ill patients becomes significant in a shorter time than is desired (i.e.- If the "curve" isn't flattened quickly enough).

    Feels like one of those discussions where there isn't a definite right or wrong judgement, I'm kind of glad I'm not one of those that has to make it.

    Everyone's playing a part in this, including the people keeping the vulnerable safe by doing shopping, getting prescriptions and paying bills for them.

    They said the nightingales are for the less serious and the critical patients will go to hospitals so that the key icu beds are not taken up.

    I know they did say they were set up in such a way so that they need less Nurses to man them, something about being able to see more patients at one time.

    Manchester Royal Infirmary absolutely dead on Thursday, normally I have to go to about 9th floor of multi-storey, parked on ground floor. Assumed it’s because the NHS has basically decided to shut down to pretty much everything unless you’ve got Covid...

    Pop up hospital being built in Harrogate. 250 critical care beds initially, going up to 500. That is applaudable.

    I think a lot of people are suffering and will die because of this, I bet there won't be hourly updates on sky news though, luckily my dad got his hip replacement (after paying) before they shutdown all these kind of operations, but one of his friends needs a heart operation, but apparently its "non-urgent" so he's going to have to wait until at least October - meanwhile he might die, I think its actually disgusting, tbh.

    Good news, only 128 confirmed cases in Wakefield to date.

    Presumably because no visitors are allowed.

    Watford A&E shut earlier to all emergencies. Under considerable strain apparently.

    Nearly 700 cases in Hertfordshire.

    yeah, 330k people in Wakefield so lets times the number of cases by 10, which is a "reasonable assumption" on the actual number of people, so lets say 1280 people have it, so thats about 0.3% of the population. So if the death rate is 1% of that, then chances of me catching it and dying is so small I can't even be bothered to work it out, thats why watching people dying in Italy or wherever serves no purpose other then scare us, and people freaking out because 2 people didn't cross the road or went out twice today need to calm down.

    I posted this a while ago from the article based on the evidence from China, if you get mechanically vented you are probably dead.

    Same here in Kirklees...

    There are 153 confirmed cases in Kirklees, out of a local population of 438,727

    Latest today is 4 more deaths to 19 but that's between Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and Calderdale Halifax so don't know the precise break up between the two hospitals but it's thankfully very low currently considering our big area.

    No, because all clinics and operations are cancelled.

    The only report I've seen on this is from Sky who had a reporter in an Italian hospital. He said it was about 50/50 and the doctors had no idea why some got better while others died. However, a friend I trust said he had seen a report that gave as grave a synopsis as you have heard.

    Dr from a Manchester hospital on Radio 5 now saying that 86% of people who get put on ventilators will die.

    If that is true then an immediate discussion is needed on the resources required to put patients on ventilators and the lives of NHS staff put at risk treating them.
