I am on here as a massive advocate of contact tracing. I thought reliance on the pre-existing system to be the number one ir two cause of our problems. I am a lot more sceptical now though. The numbers are too big, its too widely spread and we are too mobile for me to think this makes a big contribution to suppression anymore. A guy walks across the south bank to get on a tube at Waterloo, goes to kings Cross and gets the inter city to Newcastle where he walks to the office via Gregg's. We are not tracking all of that. Even North Korean levels of surveillance couldn't track that. Maybe we could get a quite a few but the tide is inevitable without a vaccine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well b back 3,561 Posted October 28, 2020 3 hours ago, Aggy said: All sensible and largely agreed. Another thing to consider, I think, is what we class as overwhelmed. Saying hospitals are 85 per cent or 97 per cent or 100 per cent full or whatever is only part of the story. I posted links a while back so won’t repeat in full, but NW icus were no more overwhelmed in October 2020 than October 2019. Overall capacity in hospitals 2014-2016 was over the 85 per cent target every single quarter (likely much higher in winter months). 2013 - a third of hospitals at some point had to turn patients away because they were too full. On routine ops, the other point is that we have the longest waiting times ever already. You could be waiting 4-6 months for an operation and then still have it rearranged. We are pretty much always too overwhelmed to treat people quickly enough. You very rarely get diagnosed on Monday and have your op the following Wednesday - we’re too full to do that. So we need to make sure we’re comparing figures to what they usually are. If we’re just as overwhelmed as every other year, then it doesn’t really justify lockdowns. If we’re going to be seriously overwhelmed, then perhaps it does. Your comments on the nightingales also sensible. I haven’t seen anything actually saying that will be the case, but did say myself some while ago that I’m hopeful we’ll be able (and it would be sensible) to use them less like Icus and more like “normal” wards to aid with capacity. This would also mean we’d need fewer staff to man them - you need more staff to be constantly putting out fires in icu than you do to monitor stable patients who you just don’t want to get any worse or who are already well on the road to recovery. Hi Aggy You are giving out to many of those little hearts you will be running out soon lol ( don’t stop though the discussions are good and I think we are all understanding more of the different views ). Yes I didn’t know that about the Nightingales. Did you know also they are already staffed ? Although I think it is really great, this is exactly the sort of place the government are letting us down, by not explaining properly what’s happened. Just on here think how many disagreements this would have stopped, as our hospitals ( as we know them ) would be overrun or empty or not looking after cancer patients. This simple bit of information coupled with how the mainstream hospitals have adapted surely would have given people much more confidence there was a plan. Why do we have to find ou from small print hidden away. Here is the relevant paragraph for NHS Nightingale North West The hospital has up to 750 beds for patients. It will provide care for those who no longer need to be in a critical care environment. It will also link closely to community health and social care services, as well as the hospitals across the North West region. And the link for the actual job description that also tells us they are already staffed if they needed. https://www.nhsprofessionals.nhs.uk/en/Nightingale/Nightingale/NHS-Nightingale-Hospital--North-West Like I say I was shocked as well as I thought the Nightingales were as discussed, but clearly they are also for normal procedures as well as Covid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was always a suggestion that London was hit earlier than imagined and that the lockdown came after the peak in a lot of its parts (hence why we are seeing the worst of it in the North now despite London not exactly being renowed as a healthy environment with healthy inhabitants). Not sure I go with all of that - there was even a 'positive' probably false for sewage in Spain in March 2019! You you need quite an outbreak to detect it in diluted sewage so the odd case I would think is undetectable via this method - in the noise! There is some evidence for an odd case around December (France comes to mind) but generally no real cases until it took off in Italy in Europe (when doctors put 2 + 2 =4). No doubt a few earlier cases that went unnoticed in December elsewhere. Happy to correct that if we can show a proper outbreak much earlier with hindsight.. You can make the same arguments for Wuhan - I think the earliest patient never visited that market place and it's likely it never started there (somewhere in SE Asia - Say September - November) but Wuhan is certainly where modern medicine first identified it. They are still trying to identify where CV19 truly came from - a bat yes but its a bit fuzzy after that. I don't think there is much factual evidence that London was past any peak before the lockdown took effect - but certainly the virus was less prevalent in the north and in other places at that time than London.

It seems really out of control in France, worst in Europe at the moment. One comment quoted is that they've found a 9pm curfew hasn't made much difference because "people just meet at 6pm instead" - well, duh ! Germany seems to be looking at measures that go a bit further than our Tier 3 - bars/restaurants will be shut except for takeaways, but otherwise pretty similar. From my experience here in Nottingham, the tier 2 restrictions have definitely had an impact, to a large degree I think it's just people taking it seriously now - back in September if you went into the City centre, it was almost like pre-Covid, whereas the last week or so, it's been much quieter with people masked up and keeping proper distances. Cases had dropped dramatically, I think the decision to put Notts into tier 3 was largely because infections were spreading beyond the student population and hospital admissions going up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well b back 3,561 Posted October 28, 2020 Germany’s statement. If we get a Uturn I guess it will be like this. And please don’t bite my head off I didn’t say there will be one. A broad but limited lockdown in Germany is going to take place from 2 November, reports say. An earlier draft plan, which we reported on, had the start date as two days later. Under the proposals, as yet unconfirmed: Schools would remain open Social contacts would be limited to two households and tourism would be halted Cinemas, theatres, leisure centres would be shut Bars would close and restaurants would be limited to takeaways Tattoo and massage parlours would shut but hairdressers would be allowed to stay open Companies badly hit by the lockdown could be reimbursed with up to 75% of their November 2019 takings Chancellor Angela Merkel and the state premiers will reconvene on 11 November to reassess the situation, under those proposed measures.

Irrespective of if it’s happening now, it did happen and many will die because of it, including many of the missing children from these stats. Any death is a bad death. And yes if it is a child that’s more heartbreaking, but back then if they would have caught Covid that would have been serious to, they didn’t know how to protect you then and we were all to scared. They have learnt as have the care homes. We had 2 family members die from Covid who went into a hospital without Covid and came out with it. That is highly unlikely to happen now and I think far more of us would not be as scared off from keeping to an appointment as we were in March. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and the most we can ask for is lessons are learnt. I really believe the NHS should be congratulated for solving these problems and this time keeping our hospitals open for all serious disease they can’t change their past and I am sure they were heartbroken at every death wether that was from Covid or anything else. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My view is we are going to be shocked by numbers of deaths in the coming weeks and be forced into the lockdown that should have happened weeks ago. I believe this too. Death numbers simply continue to increase. Sage and Indy Sage have indicated that numbers might be 500 per day by the end of the next 4 weeks. I think in some way the sheer numbers mean that people become less shocked and this part of the forum attests to that (it feels.) I am strongly of the view that the short fire break asked for by Starmer was the right think to do. No question that we will see increasing amounts of panic in the press. One interesting analysis though will emerge with the Welsh measures. In a way it has become like a controlled experiment in the scheme of things.For sure, the administration has been hounded in terms of attempts to restrict damage to smaller businesses. Of course, their attempts to change the 'pandemic dynamic' may fall very short. It will be interesting to see in late November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
