I know doom and gloom is super trendy in this thread at the moment, but in Scotland (where we don't have many restrictions anymore, certainly not what some here are advocating) the case rate is going back down (and hospitalisations and deaths starting to follow) and it doesn't look ridiculous to say that the tide has turned against the 3rd wave without another lockdown?

Yeah but they're just going for the tourism marketing synergy of a covid death rate graph that looks like the loch Ness monster.

I've been acquiring email accounts since I first got the internet in 1997 (I've even let a few go!), since the heady days of AOL and the permitted 7 email accounts  I use several of them for one-off purposes eg facebook sign-in. If my facebook email add gets hacked 'they' won't get far as it doesn't do anything else. Unlike my sister who used one email address (and one password!) for absolutely everything, got her ebay account hacked and had her banking, paypal etc all raided.

We ran out of regional neonatal intensive care beds in our region (North East) last week. AFAIK there hasn't been a surge of sick kids. The most likely cause is going to be rules regarding positive covid testing/track and tracing. The NICU I work at presently has had massive staffing issues and I know about 1/3 of the midwives in the obstetric unit are currently off isolating, which has had massive impact on their ability to staff services. I'm sure everyone knows, but to be clear - a "bed" isn't just a mattress, bedframe and some monitoring. It reflects having enough staffing (particularly nursing) to monitor patients, administer treatment etc.

I think more than a few people don't understand this. EG all those anti-covid protestors breaking into 'empty' hospitals, not understanding that the relatively small number of ICU beds need - what is it - 6? - staff per bed?

Staffing per patient will vary. I wouldn't pretend to know much about adult medicine (paging @Jabby), but in neonatology your nursing ratio depends on the level of dependency a baby needs. An intubated baby will need 1:1 nursing, one on less invasive ventilatory support like CPAP or high flow would need more like 2:1. On an adult ITU I imagine you'd have 1:1 nursing for every patient, plus the additional staff needed to cover breaks, restock, coordinate, do outreach etc etc etc.

There are other apparent doctors in the replies saying that there are beds, but I have no idea how many beds there ought to be, other than 'more then zero'.

It's inefficient to have spare beds and you don't want the NHS paying bedroom tax. Fold out ICUs in the consultants second homes imho

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Anyone else use Thunderbird email? Are you using POP3 or IMAP? You want the latter really as that will sync all folders. If you're already using that, you can right-click on the account name on the left in Thunderbird and choose Subscribe to select which folders sync. Or at least you could 5 years ago when I last used it. If that still doesn't work, there might be a setting on the webmail side that's preventing it syncing but can't really help with that without knowing what you're using.

Thunderbird chat: Yes I'm using IMAP and I assumed it would download all the folders, but apparently not. (I was previously using Windows Live Mail 2012 (NOT the same as Windows Mail) which automatically pulled down all the folders but some of my mail providers decided not to like WLM anymore so I had to switch to another collector. Subsequently, I thought I'd ticked everything but also apparently not! I find Thunderbird a little quirky. Thanks folks!

When your ITU expands 3x there's no way you can suddenly obtain 3x the nurses to provide said care. By default though ITU care should be 1:1.

Almost everyone at the Co-op was wearing a mask except for one man who looked a bit like only a lot more satisfied, presumably because the wokes couldn't stop him voting for Hard Covid now.

I'd say about three-quarters of the people coming into the pharmacy are still masked. I've been a bit more lax about wearing it in the dispensary, admittedly, because the heat is absolutely killing me, but I still wear it in the shop.

It's not necessarily the area that will suffer devastation, it's the area likely to be inaccessible and/or without basic supplies (water, electric). If you fall over and break a leg, you better hope where you're laying is comfy, because it might take a couple of days for help to reach you.

There were so many people not wearing masks when I went into town today. Even in the pharmacy, where there's a sign out strongly asking for people to wear masks, someone just walked in sniffling and coughing without a mask. It was similar in the supermarket too. Some people just don't give a poo poo
