NHS.....Its only as bad as a normal winter

[Sid]

John Burn-Murdoch (@jburnmurdoch) Tweeted: NEW: a common response to reports of hospitals struggling this winter is "it’s no different to a bad flu season!" I’ve tracked down historical data on flu ICU admissions, including winter 2017-18, a record high. Here’s how England’s Covid winter compares to a bad flu season https://t.co/tsExrDZM31

[essex man]

Deaths and testing.
London shows more in spring then less later on
Other regions more of two smaller spike

Be careful the thought police will be knocking on your door.

All the graphs posted by Mr Essex appear to show excess deaths. Surely you don't want those numbers to be higher by allowing icu to become overwhelmed?

 

[Nithsdale]

It's no worse because the restrictions in which we have lived under, to limit the spread and keep the hospitals from being swamped... have by and large, worked!

If we just went back to normal the job would be well and truly buggered

I question this logic. Overwhelmed. Hmm. So in March I had a cosy little side job in the local pub. Enjoyed it and a bit of extra cash. They closed it. Hospitals meanwhile are going through their annual 'crisis' which is manufactured by the media. I'm a bright chap. So why are they not on the phone to me and saying they are facing an emergency and can I do some emergency training to do the basics to help this massive influx of patients, overseen by medical professionals? Why not? Wouldn't that have made sense? Why open all these massive hangers full of beds with no staff to man them? I won't go on because I'll be called a fool and a conspiracy theorist.

Like Sweden?

Jesus Christ What if we get a flu epidemic too ?
I despair.

Maybe they hadn't heard you had lost your job.

Exactly like Sweden a disaster.

 

[Pasty]

It's less because that's how viruses work. I did post a video from a chap called Ivor Cummings earlier in the year who called this accurately as it's how it always goes. Why are we being kept in our homes, not allowed to gather, being made to look like gimps in public and removed from our jobs while the businesses we worked for are being destroyed and then being jabbed with an untested vax? Seems all a bit sinister to me but I'm sure it's all fine. Jesus.

It's not looking great over there

Every one I have read need clinical qualifications as they are all high end positions in my area. I don't have these. Most of them are also for the local prison. I don't actually need a job as I have a business but I'm wondering. If it's a 'war' against this terrible virus, why are they not actively recruiting able bodied people to join the effort to defeat it? Surely all they would need to do is supply them with the tik tok app and some twerking training.

The problem is no one is allowed to question present policy. Lockdown was supposed to be the answer but it isn’t because now there’s a new variant that gets round lockdown we have vaccines but they cannot get them out quickly enough. The truth is no one knows what to do they pretend they do but they are just reacting and more often than not it’s to problems of their own making. It’s a policy of fear and not so much fear of the disease but fear of seeming to be callous.

You mean like recruiting lots of retired NHS staff and doctors?

 

[Pasty]

How's your dad?

He's fine thanks. Desperate to have his jab on Wednesday night. He's having the Pfizer one I think. He's a grown up so I'm not getting involved. Hopefully all will be fine.

 

[Pasty]

Yeah but surely they need hundreds of people to carry out the dead?

How can you say lockdown doesn't work? Every time there has been an area put in lockdown, the R number has dropped, and numbers of cases have followed.
The current big increase in hospitalisations being seen, in the SE particularly, is being put down to the relaxation in lockdown rules pre, and over, Christmas.

This is all in spite of increasing numbers of fecktards thinking the rules don't apply to them. One can only imagine how much more effective the strategy would be if people used a bit more common sense?
The biggest mistake this government has made is in trusting people to be sensible, rather than telling them, and enforcing it. Obviously the @Pasty 's of this world would have been out marching with their tin foil hats on though, dodging the controlling mind rays....
