Big jump again today to 562 deaths

They've finally put in the caveat of hospital deaths. How many old isolated people are dying at home?

 

I don’t think it’s the home deaths that’s the ones in Care Homes that are going to be significant mate.

Currently they aren’t being counted and there’s a few homes that are riddled with it.

 

And prisons, apparently.

 

Cant see it getting to over 1000 a day tbh.

 

What? It’ll be over 1k in the next 3 days.

 

Just received our daily update from our trust chief exec and it states we will not be at peak for another 2 weeks.

 

It absolutely will. What makes you say it won't?

 

It was always going to peak 2-3 weeks after the lockdown weekend, when every man and his dog went to Whitby, Skegness, or Snowdonia and then visited their dear old mum on the Sunday. Nursing homes could lose a lot of people in that time.

And still we have people crowding onto the tube, entering the country from hotspots without heath checks and flaunting the guidelines - including at the top of government.

 

Government fiddling the numbers, like how many tests have been conducted and when PPE, ventilators and other such stuff were procured. The Government is led by a compulsive liar and the information they put out is lies.

 

Yes all those who went out to the pub on the friday night of the announcement have a lot to answer for too.
Think the flights are repatriation ones only at the minute though with strict criteria in place on entry. I think a major problem at the minute is that many people have been untouched by this (apart from "lockdown"). This will change quick enough.

 

The nhs is not the government. There aren't many tories in the nhs and there's fat chance any tory will be allowed to get away with any untruth regarding statistics.

 

We aren't China or North Korea. Quite amazing the coincidence that deaths in Japan have always started to rise more steadily since the Olympics was delayed for a year, instead of following the line it was on previous to that.

 

So you believe everything the Government are saying about these issues then?

 

Don't worry lads.

Redrum knows the score.

 

Well the testing or lack of it will keep the numbers down.
Hasn't italy peaked at less than 1k and now the numbers are in decline?

 

It definitely will. There’s many experts claiming we could see numbers up to 2 thousand a day towards the back end of the next 2 weeks.

 

Italy hit 919 at its highest so far, but there’s no concrete evidence it’s started declining yet. It’s still on an upwards trajectory with a few outliers that were significantly higher than the surrounding days.

Italy also took proper action much quicker than we did, despite us having much more warning of what was coming. I would put money on it hitting 1,000 deaths a day here. Well, I wouldn’t, because that’s extremely morbid, but you get my point.

 

It's just horribly depressing all round. If the lockdown works then there is no quick way out of it and the economic damage could be worse in the long run than the virus.
But if doesn't work then the death toll could be horrific.

 

I hope not.
