Coronavirus

I could have heard it wrong. But yeah, the need fora temporary mortuary anywhere is pretty unbelievable.

Makes one wonder how many other deaths are being recorded as Covid-19...

[Boozad]

Yep, up to 12,000 bodies.

The nec hospital is due to be bigger than the nightingale in London. If there are 5000 beds the mortuary across the road at the airport will need to be big.

 

[Boozad]

I just can't get my head around the scale of this shit.

 

[Sniffer]

Can’t find a link to the 5000 beds but I’m sure that it was said on the national bbc bulletin.

BBC reporting it wrong on the radio then?

Should have read the article properley before commenting

Initially for 1500, but has the capacity to expand to 12000 so both of us are right.

One bit of good news is that it looks like Brighthouse are fucked. Shame for the people who'll lose their jobs of course, but then don't work for utter parasites. A scumbag company.

 

[Boozad]

Amazing how they’ve lasted so long as it is.

 

[AndyWolves]

I really hope the serological tests give us good news when they arrive.

 

[ndorsetwolf]

Anyone expecting this lockdown to end after the initial 3 weeks - think again, this gonna be scary for a good while.

Parkin, I will send you a PM with details of a lady from the RB legion who has been putting cards through the door offering nelp.

There are contradictory messages coming out of the NHS, the Government and its advisors regarding our current state of preparedness.
People on the frontline seem terrified about what they believe is about to hit them, the further up the tree you go the more that becomes total readiness and capability within the NHS to deal with the situation. Some NHS staff are purchasing their own protective equipment, some are trying to crowdfund large volumes. There is a lack of testing available for those most at risk of infection and infecting others, due to the unknown accuracy of those tests we are told, whilst heirs to the Throne and ministers have no such issue.
The Government seem to be contradicting this with its calls for what must be approaching over a million volunteers now to help within the emergency and health services, re deployment of military personel and retirees returning to the workforce to help with the effort.
Government advisors seem keen to pass the ultimate responsibility for the outcome onto the public parroting that they and the Government have done their part and if we start to run out resources, that's only due to the public not heeding their advice on isolation, whilst issuing confusing and inconsistent guidelines that have at times changed within hours of being issued. Andy Burnham pointed out today that guidelines are to keep 2 metres apart - but with reference to working environments, this is 2 metres apart where possible, meaning some employers are risking their staff's lives forcing them to work in close proximity to each other and that is only one example.

In the South, I am not looking forward to this weekend if the people I choose to believe, those on the frontlines, are correct. If we really are 2 weeks ahead of the rest of the country we will be a good indicator of what can be expected elsewhere. Part of me hopes they are wrong, but a bigger part of me thinks they're right

I have a wife about to be sent into the front line. I am still waiting to hear about what volunteer work I can do. I have a younger step child who is obeying distancing brilliantly and is trying his hardest to deal with the boredom as well as he can. I have an elder step child lying on his fat fucking arse in bed demanding I walk up to the shops to buy him fucking ice cream while being on facetime to his friend for every fucking second his is awake. And then demanding that I disinfect said ice cream upon my return. Such a fucking wake up call is heading his way when Squeeze gets hold of him in a bit. Total lazy fucking shitehawk and I am so disappointed in his behaviour.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The South isn't two weeks ahead of Wolverhampton. It's going to be fucking awful here.

Demanding? I hope you told him to fuck right off?

 

[Kenny]

his is awake.

Found your inner Essex there I see

 

[Parkins left foot]

Problem for me is that the Gov't (and not just this one as it would have been the same whoever was there now) announces assistance, but passes the responsibility to enact it down the line to people who have no idea how they are going to enact it.

Getting the information & more importantly the resources to where it is needed is currently a minefield.

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on how its developing, and reading on here how it's effecting people on here and my thoughts are with everyone up there. The extent of the problem to come down here was underestimated hugely, Wolverhampton has come totally out of the blue for them. With a PM who is removed from reality, believes that this is his Normandy, is surrounded by two types of people; those pandering to his ego and protecting their careers and those aghast at his behaviour and his demeanour but unable to effect any change of policy, strategy or action, the countrys fate as a whole is in an extremely precarious position.
