I don't even know what to do, I'm trying very hard to not just drain an entire bottle of whiskey. if she or someone else is able to do & interpret the Ottawa rules then you can either rule out a fracture at home (i.e. it would be a sprain not a break and just needs the usual rest/ice/elevation/compression til better) or work out that it needs an X-ray. If you think it might be broken (positive Ottawa or just not sure) then she needs an X-ray. Best done in A&E or a minor injury unit (the latter probably better for this). If she can get into a taxi then doesn't need an ambulance (a taxi will arrive quicker than an ambulance anyway in this situation). edit: i would like it if someone could supply my place of work with 244 of those 3d printed face shields oxford_town fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Mar 27, 2020 |

She needs to get it checked if she thinks its broken, seriously, esp with other conditions factored in. Get her to call 111. They might do a paramedic call out who can advise further.

going to a virtual party tonight  we're going to drink indoors and play juvenile games, so it will be exactly the same as whenever we met up in the before times except in cyberspace  the one nice thing about this whole mess is that I've been getting lots of messages off the people I always mean to text but never quite get round to doing it e: actually I thought of another nice thing, I keep being slightly startled when I notice that I can't hear any planes XMNN fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Mar 27, 2020 |

My mom went to India to visit the Golden Temple in Amritsar like the day before India shut the air travel down. She didn't take anything I said seriously before she got on the plane, telling me I'm worried about stuff I saw on the TV. Now she's in her village and the police have been visiting her every day to make sure she is quarantined for 14 days, a measure I never thought the Indian police capable of, especially without demanding bribes. That's made her realise this is serious, and she cancelled her trip to the temple. When I talked to her earlier I felt like the parent ffs. No idea how she gets back in the foreseeable future. What is it with the olds? Survivorship bias must result in hubris.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Italy: 969 dead today On the plus side enough people do seem to be taking it seriously enough that it'll hopefully reduce transmission sufficiently to stop the exponential growth Not sure why the news is full of sensationalist panic about Italy having lots more deaths 2 weeks after the lockdown over a virus that takes roughly 2-3 weeks to kill. Cases seem to be plateauing, which is the important figure

knox_harrington posted:Yes, that is what I wrote, but in this case my impression was the family wishes overrode the patient’s best interests. Which is why I told the story. When my dad was dying (80 with oesophageal cancer) we had the booklet from the doc and the St David's about his wishes. Dad made it clear he didn't want resus. This really upset mum who said to the doc 'we want everything possible done'. My siblings and I had to talk her down from that and sister who had worked in a hospital years ago as a student nurse told her what would be potentially involved which mum had no idea about. Anyway after that I made sure to record all dad's wishes including his funeral playlist (we had to fight the vicar over one of them!)

Cases might be plateauing simply because testing capacity has been reached. Deaths are the clearest indicator we have, and they're still rising 2.5 weeks after the nationwide lockdown.

we also havent really done a lockdown yet. its mostly voluntary still. no PPE for the NHS still. not even a word of support for the min wage key workers in food retail that keep the country alive nobody in gov or media is literate enough to have read the word "case isolation" yet still no community testing for at least 2 weeks we're still gonna be spreading the poo poo out of this e ThomasPaine posted:Which is entirely in keeping with the way the virus works. If they're still rising a fortnight to a month from now, then it's time to worry. its not despair, its just being realistic. this isnt enough and obviously it isnt. it reminds me of like when the gov was saying "theres been no civilian casualties at all in iraq since 200x" which was obviously untrue on the face of it if you were at all conected to reality but the gov said so so the media mistook that for reality. knowing the reality of dropping bombs on people, some investigators figured out its coz they weren't recording any deaths. simple. the lockdown still lets people outside at least twice a day, some people more than they would have anyway, theres no protection for workers in the key vectors of spread like transport and supermarkets, which means they will get infected and aren't wearing masks to stop them infecting others. i would hope that the spread will at least slow compared to doing nothing. but i wouldnt expect it to stop as if a quarantine had been enacted, because one hasn't been

A lockdown doesn't have to be perfect to stall a virus like this in its tracks. The more complete the better of course but as OF said anything that brings it below exponential growth will work, it might just take a little longer. cargo cult posted:is nicola sturgeon good or just sort of a neolib with a left-nationalist veneer She's left by the standards of UK politics but she would prioritise Scottish independence over anything else and regardless of her personal beliefs she is concerned with holding together a tenuous cross-ideological party and will make whatever concessions to capital that requires.

whats funny is all the MPs getting infected shows that its not that they were taking this personally seriously but leaving the rest of us out to get infected. they genuinely just aren't up to this and have been ignoring it personally too bojo getting infected and infecting all the other ghouls on stage with him was insanely obvious weeks ago, like the rest of this poo poo.
