I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fevtom Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 The USA have produced forecasts for every State for hospital usage, ICU beds, total deaths etc. It looks like they're pinning their hopes on New York being the only state to have a major outbreak and many of the states forecast to limit their death toll to a couple of hundred. I'm sure they have experts who are much smarter than me but it still seems a little bit optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bronx Zoo, in New York City, says the test result was confirmed by the National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Iowa. Nadia, along with six other big cats, is thought to have been infected by an asymptomatic zoo keeper. The cats started showing symptoms, including a dry cough, late last month after exposure to the employee, who has not been identified." if big cats can get it from humans what about small cats and could they become vectors - that would be a huge issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a similar thing from the Conquest Hospital Facebook page with specific things about paediatric emergencies.

fevtom Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Daily deaths in the UK has once again fallen to 403. We're not expecting the peak for a couple of weeks yet so it's still early days but there are some encouraging signs that the lockdown has at least helped slow this down. Edit - Just realised the 403 is for England not the UK but still fewer than the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow's figures are the ones that'll tell if things are slowing. Last weekend was exactly the same then people saying "END LOCKDOWN NOW" on Monday shut up on Tuesday when the figures were brutal. Also, remember, this is still hospital deaths.

France's figures sky rocketed when they added care home deaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am NOT a clinician and go look at the 111 website.

You know, during the great plague dog and cat killers were employed in London because it was thought that they were the animals spreading the disease. Hindsight is a funny thing when you think the plague could have been brought under control quicker if the cats hadn't been killed cos they could have caught the rats that had the fleas that carried the plague.

gingerjon Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 It’s fine to make a bizarre insinuation about Asians driving cars whilst wearing masks but not to mock a group who would expel someone who went to Bob8’s wedding. Good to know. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
