    Does that mean that 43% of Barnsley hospitals bed capacity is filled with people who are in hospital because they have covid-19 and need hospital treatment for it? Or does it mean that 43% of beds have people in them that have tested positive for covid-19 irrespective of the reason they're in the hospital?

    Is your idiocy genetic or have you had to work at it?

    No idea.... Probably the latter.
    I'd be more concerned about the number of staff absent. Clearly increased the number of ITU beds since the pandemic started too.

    Worrying thing is that all the experts are saying that the measures that are to come
    into force at midnight, won't work either. Hoping that a vaccine is available sometime
    in December. If true, it certainly can't come soon enough.

    time to stop banging the drum. Trying to minimise it doesn’t help your cause.

    There are 48 beds at BDGH for acutely ill people caused by COVID. There is a "hot" zone for the severely ill, and a "cold" zone for those who are ill but not in anyway in danger.

    The other patients mentioned above are people who are totally fine, but just happen to have tested positive for COVID in the last 28 days. Please do not think that the hospital is in any way over run with COVID. The figures are misleading as it leads people to think that 150 odd people are lying in the corridors struggling for breath, not the case, not by a long chalk.

    Feel free not to believe me, I can't say too much, but to not put too finer point on it...I work there.

    Pinderfields is in a bad way. My wife’s nan was on the COVID ward a week ago and had to sleep in a chair because there’s no beds left. They’ve also starting cancelling appointments on the respiratory ward.

    To provide some substance to this post.

    There wasnt 492 Covid deaths in the last 24 hours.

    The figure released is a total of all new deaths with a positive Covid test within 28 days of death between March and the day prior.

    For example, England announced 302 new deaths today with 1 dated from March and a third of the total from October.

    How bad the toll is for October wont be known until December, Novembers at some point in January.

    11 in intensive care though, that's not a great statistic.
    What do you do up at BDGH?

    Yes, we know.

    The problem with comments like this is that you’d never actually count a full day as they’ll never be able to count them all in a day. It shows a trend is going up out of control again.

    The title of this thread is "Just short of 500 Covid deaths today"

    That suggests that nearly 500 people died of Covid today when as it stands, its not true.
