SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill

Airfreight flights -- I doubt have been affected badly if not increased.

Bad, but not too bad.

It’s not been easy.
And this whole time she’s doing her nurse practitioners degree - studying for her midterms after working a shift. I don’t deserve her.
Fair enough. Ventilators need planes more than people.
I can't imagine Wish shifting many gimp masks unless it's got a novelty tube hanging out of the lips.

"You will all be fine"
I don't think this is a guy you can trust when he's making such definitive statements about something so difficult to predict. He seems like an attention seeker.
Sorry for asking but are you a qanon guy?
I posted about it yesterday. Many people in the south of Italy live hand-to-mouth with undeclared income. When the shops, bars and markets closed, they had nothing in their pockets and no official record of employment.
It's not being stir-crazy that's the problem, it's starvation.
He uses the word likely and it's true from what we've seen.
Young people in general don't get severe symptoms and the vast vast majority don't need treatment.
May have already been asked but why aren't clubs furloughing players.
They have haven’t they? At least they’re all self isolating like everyone else.
Furlough is different. It's a temporary lay off on 80% salary paid by government. It has nothing to do with self isolating
Now that it'll start staying sunny later into the evening, the lockdown is going to feel even more depressing than it has done so far.
Why would they be furloughed? It only applies to people who would otherwise have to be sacked.
Good luck to her! My ward and almost all wards in my hospital have been made covid units now. I think we will see this in most hospitals in the coming weeks.
Just finished my 8th shift in 11 days and to put it bluntly things are getting worse. Here's a little insight:
Day 1-2: On my first couple days I was hearing of confirmd cases from other wards, areas but still working on my acute medical ward. No suspected cases for me, just another day.
Day 3-4: Had a day off and came back to be moved to Covid-19 triage in ED. Saw on average 12-13 patients a day. Only 2 patients we suspected of Covid-19 but they were not unwell enough to admit so sent them home.
Day 5-6: Been told my ward is closed. Being refurbed and prepared to be a covid-19 unit. All our patients moved into a holding ward where I was also transferred to work. Hearing of multiple deaths from Covid-19 now.
Day 7: Moved to a Covid-19 unit to learn about how we are treating Covid-19 patients, PPE procedures and general experience to feedback to the team. First time in contact with diagnosed positive patients.
Day 8: Moved back to my ward. We are fully Covid-19 now. Only three of us on, two nurses and an HCA. We opened with no patients but full to capacity within 4 hours. We are a 28 bed ward but due to Covid-19 everyone has to be isolated so we only have capacity for 8 patients, 4 bays and 4 siderooms. This will change if we have more than one confirmed positive patient as they can be cohorted together in a bay. All our patients tested and suspected and waiting for results.
Talking to a dcotor, around 70% of their handover from this morning are suspected Covid-19. Now a very small % will be posistive however, any type of cough, spike in temp or respiratory issue is being treated as suspected. For example I have a young person on my ward, 20 year old with tonsillitis, spiked a fever 38c. Lookig quite well, very chatty - now suspected Covid-19. This person will go home today. The whole hospital is full of it now. Other wards are closing to be made into Covid-19 areas. 12 more deaths in the night - its really ramping up now. We are suddenly seeing a lot more confirmed cases but It feels really real now.
I usually treat alot of CCF, CKD, pnuemonia/HAP/CAP/LRTI patients. The latter patients will be made as suspected Covid-19 but I just want to know where the hell have all my CCF and CKD patients gone? They have literally vanished from our hospital and not being admitted.
Could you tell me which governors (singular or plural) are banning it? As far as I can tell state health authorities are suggesting caution in a clinical setting and recommend preventing off label prescriptions in order to prevent hoarding. They seem to be waiting for confirmation that it's useful and at what dose that is. This is what competent people do.
The tweet you say "says it best" seems on its face to be completely moronic. France changing its recommendations in the light of fresh and evaluated medical evidence is precisely the action it should be taking.
So, this is what a former head of the WHO thinks of our latest government science statement.

For two reasons I'd imagine. Firstly a player would be entitled to seek alternative employment whilst furloughed. Secondly the cap paid for by the government is £2k per month, which for someone on a few dozen times this every week would be a somewhat irrelevant return.
I'm sure in the lower leagues the situation would be different.
Boris Johnson to warn UK: tougher lockdown may be necessary

Yeah, France never banned it. The first tweet is partially based on two french trial from the professor Raoult and the health ministry, the breaking news is old and incorrect, the news that is it advises to use it only on serious cases until further trials are concluded that was on March 23th.
Thanks. Makes complete sense now.
Guardian missing the point again.
These deaths are from people infected before the lockdown.
We don't know what the lockdown has achieved so far.
All they tell is is the effect of not locking down earlier, not harder.
It's the same thing that happened in Italy.
You can't work if furloughed. And its 2.5k per month
So they weren’t practicing social distance before the lockdown?
unless you mean it was filmed months ago
Not entirely sure but a banner did come along the bottom about the filming.

Think it was meant to be a podcast.
It's 80% of £2500 (£2000).
If furloughed by your current employee you can resign and work for someone else if you choose.
No, its not.
If your furloughed you cant work. If you resign your not furloughed....

When it regards graphs about the development of the different countries I like the following:
The x-axis shows the confirmed cases per 100,000 inhabits, the y-axis the deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. The little numbers near the flags tell the number of days the cases have doubled recently.

Which of the following do you disagree with?
The maximum amount the government will contribute is £2000 per month.
If your employer is looking to furlough you, you can refuse and instead seek employment elsewhere?
Oh awesome. Stay safe man. The scenes in Mitchells Plain and Alexandria (Joburg) during day 1 of lockdown was something else as well.
Its 80 percent up 2.5k per the guidance
The employee can turn down furlough, but if they agree to furlough they cant work.
If they turn it down, theyd either have to quit or be made redundant to work elsewhere. Unless they work a 2nd job, footballers wont be made redundant at least not at the pl level and they wont quit.
Edit re the payment i see what your saying now. If what your saying is correct our employer has advised us wrong

That’s the best graph like this I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing. The number of cases has become more or less useless to compare countries but adding the deaths/100k gives a really useful perspective.When it regards graphs about the development of the different countries I like the following:

Legal document:
offering employers grants from HMRC to cover 80 per cent of the wages of staff who are on the payroll but not working because of the outbreak, up to a maximum of £2,500 per worker per month.
To me that means the maximum grant is 2.5k
Edit again, another legal docu
What is included in the £2500?
It includes "all employment costs". Although no further details have been given yet, it is possible that this will include employer's National Insurance contributions. The position in relation to employer pension contributions is not yet clear and we are waiting for further guidance from the government.
Our business has been advised it's 80% of the £2500 cap (or £2k max), not 80% of £3125. The government website is vague but Sunak did say it was 80% of UK median earnings, which is around £30k per annum (not £37.5k)
Footballers would absolutely quit if their salaries were reduced by a factor of up to several hundred.
Ah right cool, tbh I was surprised because lineker is usually on the ball
Thats not my reading of it at all or what my employer took it to be.
Theyd just say no to furlough and make their pl team pay them redundancy and then be free of it. They wouldnt quit, footballers contracts wouldnt let them quit without paying millions back
Footballers contracts also wouldn't allow them to have their salaries slashed by a factor of 700 without reprieve.
If their employers sought to do so they'd have cause to repudiate the contract and seek employment elsewhere.
