Fon Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Its getting a little scary now. I know loads of people who have it or have had it. Nearly everyone has had mild systems with a few having a cough lasting a few weeks. One elder person had several issues, and although they have all now passed several weeks ago, he's now exhausted after doing minimal things. National average apparently is 1 in 50 have it. Average in my area is 1 in 18! Fon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktv303 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Everyone will get it mate The lockdown just makes sure we just don't all get it at once. The 1 in 50 was for England's in one day last week. That wont affect the nhs for about 2 or 3 weeks. So it'll get much worse before it gets better I think. Doesn't help when they're millions of little spreaders coming home from school everyday. I've barely left the house since March ffs. I'm gonna need social reintegration lessons when I go back into town lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz2905 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I wish they'd release more detailed data on the current deaths and hospital admissions. I'd like to have a better understanding of the risk to me and those close to me. Constantly saying that there are younger people in hospitals isn't really telling us much. With the sacrifices to our freedoms we are making, sharing data isn't too much to ask. A thousand people dying a day seems huge but in comparison to our population and if say 80% were near the end of life, then it's not so huge at all, especially in comparison to the normal winter flu. I don't believe all the conspiracy bollocks but i do know with certainty that this government are incompetent twats and i don't really trust them at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fon Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 I don't think the problem is with people dieing as most will get minor symptoms. There problem lies in the few % that need to go to hospital. They still won't die, but they need support. And there's the crunch, the NHS can't cope with that many people. There's about 8 ambulance's queing outside my local hospital, and iv read about 40 queing outside of London hospitals. If the NHS collapse's due to staff being sick, self isolating etc. Then there is going to be far more deaths from people falling off ladders, heart attacks, missing cancer treatment etc. Fon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
