goddamnedtwisto posted:At the risk of getting into serious Bald territory - what's the comparable rate for people hospitalised with other pulmonary infections? These numbers are terrifying if they're for otherwise-healthy people, but if that's (as I suspect) fairly similar to the rates for people hospitalised by flu, then the Covid hospitalisation is just another signpost on the way down at the end of life. Grim and horrifying for the people involved, but a disease that shortens an individual's life expectancy from 87 to 86 is very different from one that shortens it from 87 to 77 (or 47) on a population level. The one comforting bit is that most of the new organ damage is 'mild and therefore likely to be subclinical' which I guess if you're going to get organ damage that's the kind that you want, but it's not all just in the very old. It does make me wonder what kind of things will be coming out of the woodwork from Long Covid in a decade's time though. goddamnedtwisto posted:The Icke/Jones Fuckhead Pioneer Corps have already laid the groundwork for them and everything. e: In 115CE an earthquake destroys Apamea and Antioch in Syria.

Does it have a membership beyond the trustees themselves? Do you have the constitution to hand? Worth reading over that to get an idea of your obligations. You'll probably at least have to attend an AGM.

Whelp, looks like I'm going to either be made redundant or have to re-interview for the same job I'm doing now, except frankenstein-monstered with 2-3 job post workloads. I'm currently working out how long I can last on my paltry savings (which was ostensibly for a future house deposit, hope is a lie etc. etc.) and it's hard for me to work out where my priorities should be. I'm sure I remember reading about people here going through the same thing last year, so any advice/guidance on what the hell to do without being overwhelmed is welcome. On a definitely completely unrelated note, I know from my years of lurking that there are a few other Leicester-based goons in this thread. If anyone's a current/past University of Leicester student and feels like complaining to the VC about the recent announcement of redundancies, that would be pretty neat.

The 5k limit just means you have to register with the charity commission - you can still be an unincorporated charity. Or there's various models of incorporated charities. The constitution will likely follow one of the models on this page depending what type of org it is. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/setting-up-a-charity-model-governing-documents "Small charity" is the under 5k one, "unincorporated charity" is what the UKMTSF is going for, or your people might be setting up as a CIO, CIC or charitable trust

I'm sure I remember reading about people here going through the same thing last year, so any advice/guidance on what the hell to do without being overwhelmed is welcome. Yeah, this was me in the second half of last year. I don't have any specific guidance on what to do though because I basically just lost all work motivation while swinging wildly between "gently caress, better really smash it to prove my worth" and "what's the point in any of this, I'm either in or out based on what some HR drone says" and then managed to hang on to the job and am now struggling to re-motivate myself! Any idea how likely each outcome is? It's probably good to dust off your CV and sign up for some job alerts just in case (or however you usually do your job searching) because something might come up that's better than your current gig anyway! Talk to your union rep if applicable, presumably they should be included in any negotiations around roles being made redundant or amalgamated. Hope it works out ok for you!

I don't think that stat about people being readmitted then dying means that we're underreporting deaths. It's within 28 days of a positive test, not within 28 days of their first positive test. Presumably these people are being re-tested on re-admission.

Using what kind of test though? Rapid antigen and PCR aren't going to be all that useful >28 days after the first positive test, so are they doing antibody tests on people arriving in a bad way, or are they just saying "oh they had persistent Covid symptoms over the past 5 weeks better make a note of that"? efb

Ah, I see. Well, poo poo. I've just been reading about how JVCI calculated their efficacy rate for one does and it looks to me like they've been EXTREMELY loving selective about their data. One of the first people to get the shot in December has already caught it and died before his second dose. I know you'd expect that to happen to some people but Jesus Christ.

It is actually the first positive test https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths quote:Number of deaths of people who had had a positive test result for COVID-19 and died within 28 days of the first positive test. Data from the four nations are not directly comparable as methodologies and inclusion criteria vary. Data for the period ending 5 days before the date when the website was last updated with data for the selected area, highlighted in grey, is incomplete. no indication whether they would start counting again on readmission, but they don't mention it and that would make the numbers go up so my guess would be no

I don't think I'm at all alone in saying this, but really fear of the virus itself is only a very small part of the trauma of this pandemic. Every death is a tragedy for those impacted and all that, but I know I'm not really very likely to be one of those as a 31 year old (though it is possible). What is really getting to me is the way it has exposed our whole country for the selfish, stupid, lazily arrogant and entitled place we've always known it to be, deep down. Not just the usual suspects either. It's the government mismanagement (who could have guessed putting a load of Eton chancers in charge of a country might lead to you being led by a bunch of lazy grifters?), it's the media silence/spin, it's the well to do blue tick liberals doing their performative outrage despite their direct complicity, yes it's dumbasses refusing to wear masks. I've never liked Britain, and there's always been that current of bile under the surface that I've been aware of, but I always kind of believed in this alienated but generally well-meaning majority. I'm not sure I do now. The mask has been ripped off and I've seen how the sausages are made and it's worse than I ever thought. I've lost more respect for this country in the last year than I thought possible, and that really is a hell of a bar. That's going to be the big thing. When all is said and done I will not be able to see people in the same way again. I hope that I'm not the only one, and this might radicalise people somewhat, but lol  Granted, it doesn't help that it's cold and dark all the time, I'm unemployed, I can't go hang out and decompress with friends, and I'm drinking way too much to compensate, but this year has probably been the most difficult for me in a long time, and certainly the first where I've genuinely worried my mental health resilience might be reaching its limit. I'm holding it together, but it is hard sometimes.

I have a feeling I first saw it in one of these threads but this article is very illuminating. The British attitude to absolutely everything seems to be to do it right as long as you're forced to with a gun to your head, then do it wrong at the earliest opportunity and keep doing it that way forever because "that's how we've always done it". poo poo country.
