Re: Coronavirus
That is still staggeringly high for an airborne disease. We can never know exactly, but of the tens of thousands of people dead with it, how many would have died having not had it and its weakening effects? If I have a lung condition but can live with it and then get Covid-19 and die, is that still excess or considered OK? Of course not. So as much as I'm all for positive outlooks and finding where the good news is, we need to exercise caution in the way we read this sorta info.Thor wrote: ↑Sun Aug 30, 2020 11:26 pmLooking at the updated deaths of covid as the only reason for death.

5k is people who were tested and at that time we weren't testing many.faldO wrote: ↑Sun Aug 30, 2020 11:00 pmI know the BBC like to overstate the case, but 100,000 new infections a day - are you sure?Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Sun Aug 30, 2020 10:45 pm One explanation from BBC news
By the time lockdown came there were an estimated 100,000 new infections a day in the UK.
Today we have over 1,000 confirmed infections a day, on average.
I think at the peak it was more like approx 5k infections a day across the UK.
Re: Coronavirus
I see, 5k confirmed via tests vs 100k estimated, which I assume the BBC is extrapolating from the ONS survey.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 7:58 am5k is people who were tested and at that time we weren't testing many.faldO wrote: ↑Sun Aug 30, 2020 11:00 pmI know the BBC like to overstate the case, but 100,000 new infections a day - are you sure?Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Sun Aug 30, 2020 10:45 pm One explanation from BBC news

Re: Coronavirus
I wouldn't dare suggest you are thick for thinking not dying means the same thing as recovery.

Re: Coronavirus
Deaths are much reduced - but if you're defining "recovering" as not dying, then I think that entirely omits the increasing evidence of serious long term effects from infection.

Re: Coronavirus
And would be interested to know what those effects are. I've heard of people suffering fatigue.

Re: Coronavirus
Yes, interesting. It does get a bit 'I'm-right-and-everyone-else-is-wrong' at the end though. I don't claim to understand it all, but if some of the best brains in the world are working on this I find it a bit hard to understand how this error/misunderstanding has failed to be corrected more widely.Mickys Bullock wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 3:01 pm https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/author/drmalcolmkendrick/
A very interesting read.

Re: Coronavirus
2,948 more infections reported today, so at least that's a small drop.
Though not sure if this will be impacted from the same weekend reporting bias as we saw a few months ago for deaths.

It's a first hand account of something but what?

Re: Coronavirus
We're finally getting some access to the weekly testing which was promised first week of August I think. Covers about 5% of our workforce and as Peter has been robbing Paul again it means that our access to tests for people who are symptomatic has been massively reduced. Oh, and turn around time for results is 4 days at best which basically makes it almost entirely useless.

The answer is in the article: "She has suspected "long-tail Covid" a distinct reaction to the virus that doctors are just beginning to study."faldO wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 5:47 pmHer illness sounds horrific.A Pedant wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 5:20 pm Try this first-hand account: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-53948028
