Why did they build to nightingale units if not using them ,going on that the hospitals are bursting to seams and instead of transferring patients to them nightingale units they are on about putting them in hotels omg

They'll use the Nightingales before hotels and hospitals before the Nightingales.
God forbid it ever comes to using hotels.

I have Asthma

It’s difficult to know what to think

Media like to cause hysteria

BUT

1534 deaths today

Pre Covid-19
January usually 5000 respiratory illness deaths

Probably get that in a week
If not already 🤦‍♂️

2 million known deaths globally
Out of a 7.7 billion population

1% death rate would be 77 million

But as said hearing customers losing relatives 50 and under!

Died ‘with Covid’ not of, my wife shows me all the stats. They are putting Covid on death certificates if there is a positive result, regardless of what they died of - which is usually cancer, or some other end of life illness.

Winter 2018/19 over 60,000 flu deaths in just that winter.

It’s bad mate, but it’s not the plague. The media just want you to believe it is.

People with cancer die of Co-vid and healthy people are dying of it.
I don't remember The Plague or Spanish Flu but given when they happened they are unrealistic comparisons.
Your wife showed you all the stats? Does she have them all then?

Yes and you can very easily obtain them yourself from https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-daily-deaths/

It isn’t hard to look at the facts.

It is not killing healthy people under 60 in there droves. The survival rate is very VERY high.

The issues as always in the NHS in lack of staff and beds. It has always been like that in the winter.

It’s bad, yes. But it’s No where near as bad as some of you media warriors think.

Go on the website abs look at the stats yourself. You will also see aroind 40-50 deaths added a day that didn’t even have a positive result, yet Covid was put on the death certificate.

I could go on, but I really can’t be bothered with some of you. You clearly pay too much attention to the media.

And yes my wife is in a managerial position quite high up in Colchester hospital. So, I am very much entitled to my opinion. 

[G Griffin]

Where do the media get their figures from?
But I agree, we need more beds, staffs, hospitals etc. The government should have been investing in these before this happened.

When it's all over, I want to go into a pub and order a beer (like I used to).

I'm 57 this year. I want to start Pilates classes and if i'm feeling up to it, maybe a bit of Krav Maga.

I used to do Ceroc dancing with the missus. That would be nice to get back to.

To be honest, just happy to get through it, everything else is a bonus.

Without the lockdowns the hospitals will be overwhelmed. That's the reason for the restrictions. It's very simple. You're wrong on the death rate. It's nowhere near 1%. Much less.

The figures include those who died within 28 days of a positive test, so if someone had a positive test and died after 29 days they would not be in the figures, unless they do an autopsy on everyone who dies they have to use this method
And if someone with cancer who might have survived another year died of it, thats still sad

The figure of 60000 flu deaths in 2018/19is utterly wrong look it up somewhere other than facebook

There have been over 80000 excess deaths (ie 80000 more deaths than usual)

A friend of mines son aged 18 (who is in the military) was made very ill by it, and a friend of mine 54, with NO health problems has died from it.
It's silly talk like above that has got us all locked down again

Go on a holiday will be a start    , having done all the bungee jumps, parachute jump type things, I recommend you should give scuba diving a  try, its a different world, especially when done somewhere nice.

I did my PADI in Malta in 2019, was booked to go again last year  , looking forward to going somewhere tropical to do my advanced.

My point exactly ,  but I'm fed up with expressing my opinions because the sheep will follow and believe everything the BBC tell them.
