UK Covid death toll

[Kit Kat Chunky]

There's going to be two elements to this as not all of the patients who have covid are in to be treated for covid. The 1st problem is that they have to be segregated from the non-covid patients e.g. there will need too be two separate cardio units etc, this is going to put a strain on the normal workload for each department. And then there is the restriction this places on visiting, my MIL was in hospital last month following a heart attack; She was confused and needed her family there to help understand what was happening, whilst we have high numbers of cases there will be ongoing restrictions for visiting.

And although the severeness of the condition is in a much better place than it was we still have a high number of cases which will lead to the higher number of hospitalisation. The whole timing of removing restrictions was wrong and purely to save the career of the bloke making the decision rather than making it for the right reason. The logical point to remove restrictions was the Easter break when the weather is better.

It will be interesting to see what McKrankie announces this afternoon.

ZOE reporting 245K cases daily. If this carries on, there will have to be yet another U turn.
