Communist Thoughts posted:i think that makes our response the worst in the world? anyone do any better? "worst" can only be evaluated with respect to a goal. in this case, the goal is to kill as many britons as possible and blame it on the europeans, so the truth is that this response is the best in the world

The centrism is so strong in my dad that even after bojo goes on TV and says he's gonna kill him he's still like "I don't like the man but he's trying to flatten the curve" He's over 60 and has asthma... Guardian poisoning is real

Looking at this whole 'hospital capacity' thing. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/tgm/table.do?tab=table&init=1&language=en&pcode=tps00046&plugin=1 Germany - 800 beds per 100,000 Ireland - 295 beds per 100,000 UK - 253 beds per 100,000 definitely does not seem like a good idea to wait for herd immunity to develop on a virus we've never seen before

On a scale of 'chill' to 'oh gently caress' how worried should I be about my 70yo aunt, who's been hospitalised by a nasty infection following a botched surgery? Leaning very, very heavily towards 'oh gently caress'.

Communist Thoughts posted:The centrism is so strong in my dad that even after bojo goes on TV and says he's gonna kill him he's still like "I don't like the man but he's trying to flatten the curve" yeah, my dad is very guardian and a retired doctor so he's well into the "well he's following scientific advice" thing, which I suppose other countries aren't doing?? although he agrees that the government's other advice/lack of advice is poor and nonsensical (we might start advising people to do X in Y day, not telling companies to help people work from home etc) even if the actual influence on the spread from shutting down public events and schools was marginal, the government is basically burning any trust the public might have had in them before the outbreak has even truly begun. if things get worse quickly (which they will) then poo poo is going to hit the fan and the government will not be able to calm people down because the people will know it's their fault

he still has his own social media accounts johnson is doing a bizarro speedrun attempt at a loving pandemic and corbyn is on his way out anyway, there's no downside to blasting this that i can see. it's not as though people not following government advice at the moment is going to make them more exposed

Still better than 'oh gently caress' so I'll take that. Thanks.

Still can't quite believe Johnson's plan for the Coronavirus literally seem to be to abandon the core of his voter base to die, its Victorian in its brazen contempt for human life but also really, really stupid on its own terns

there is no reason to assume infection as of now. the number of british cases is still relatively low, and medical staff are serious about hygiene around vulnerable post-op patients even when there's *not* a deadly pandemic going around

Juche Couture posted:In our hospital doctors with direct prolonged contact (including being vomited on) with patients with proven Covid, without masks etc (not originally suspected cases) have been explicitly told that unless they become symptomatic they are not to be tested and to continue working. XMNN posted:been back at the hospital walk in centre and saw a nurse holding a face mask to her mouth tell someone that with their symptoms they shouldn't have even come in and they need to go sit in the pod, which was very reassuring Theodyn posted:I work in the NHS and as far as I've been able to see, just about nothing [has been done to contain the virus]. Shogi posted:The hospital site I was covering today had a nurse sent home with fever and a cough. The acute hospital nearby has some of our patients there with physical conditions, so our staff are in and out to support. And they’ve just had a couple of confirmed covid-19 cases. I myself have had a cough and a tight chest all week but in the absence of any advice from higher up we are just being told to crack on and hope we don’t slaughter the elderly wards. Soylent Yellow posted:I spoke to my sister today. She works in a hospital away from any reported outbreaks, and says that it's an open secret that they've been getting cases for the past couple of days, but are waiting on confirmations. Not people phoning 111 because they have a cough, but people admitted with serious respiratory distress. Apparently this isn't an outlier, a lot of hospitals are starting to see the same. We all have it, and the official infection rate is going off a ski-jump over the weekend. lol

This is from the bbc https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51865915 Am I reading this right? The plan is, to tell people to stay at home, because that's where people are most likely to get the virus? Isn't this specifically what S. Korea and China said not to do? I don't get it. If you're going to concede that most infections happen at home, then why for fucks sake are you telling people who have the virus to stay at home? What the actual gently caress is going on?

The fact that we're very badly prepared doesn't mean everyone in hospital already has it. Sneak Lemming posted:
No what? People are isolated at their own homes, where else would they go? They do pose a greater risk to uninfected people in the same home which is a problem but that's not what you're saying.

If so, I approve of that but not of your very stupid posting. You're not the most likely to get the virus at home how would that even work, physically speaking? Are you operating under the miasma theory? Are you, in fact, a time traveler from a (somehow) dumber time?
