fears of extended lockdown
I'm afraid that the public will not tolerate it, so something will give. I
suspect that they hope by then to be able to detect cases very early on, and use the new positive pressure oxygen masks to keep the lungs from collapsing and getting glued together by all the gunk from the virus infection. Trouble is a lot of people find breathing out when not allowed to fully do this while wearing a very tight mask causes panic, and several have refused to use it again and have died. Hard to be sure if the out come would have been the same if they had tolerated it, but this new treatment system probably means that people will not have to be put into a coma and have to be connected to a traditional respirator, and hence can still eat and drink and talk.

Judging by events in Europe, I'm not so sure your timescales are correct. Certainly not a couple of weeks etc and some things may take many months to return to (near) normal (I'm not referring to the economy, that will take longer). However, gradually over the coming months I expect things will ease for most people, albeit that some will need to take precautions. Certainly things like large concerts etc will pose problems but they aren't a major issue for most people. Pubs aren't exactly essentials in terms of people need them to live. There is, of course, the economic aspect. Out of interest, I'm watching the plans for schools etc. The recent reports of this 'new' condition in youngsters may complicate things- I don't recall it being reported elsewhere. Perhaps it simply was so rare it wasn't reported etc. Plus different countries (eg Spain) had different lock down rules. The latest numbers for deaths weren't as bad as the FT suggested, not good, but not as bad as the FT ones. The senior scientist yesterday (Deputy Chief?) made some very good points re our current numbers including deaths which may not be entirely attributable to the Chinese Virus and we wouldn't have a true picture until they'd been adjusted for the normal seasonal deaths. Some will claim this is fiddling the numbers but he pointed out there are standard methods, applied across Europe, to do this. All in all, the hospitals are doing remarkably well. The plans to resume some 'normal' treatments which had been suspended it certainly encouraging. The policy of having some 'hot' (Virus treating) hospitals and 'cold' (Virus free) ones should help with this. I was aware it was being used in some areas but it appears to be a general policy, going by the news reports. The media continue to be more of a hindrance than help.

The 'division' was put in place quite early, at least in one area, so I assume it was a general policy. Ditto they (the hospitals) converted 'ordinary' wards etc into specialist ones ahead of there being a significant influx of patients. PPE training was done etc in advance, or refreshed perhaps. Most NHS staff probably rarely, if ever, need to wear the type of PPE now being required so 'refresher' training etc makes sense. The medical staff have certainly 'stepped up' etc. Some areas are, of course, worse than others- simply down to numbers of people etc. The testing business has been interesting. Hancock's promise has been used to beat him but the provision is there, it simply hasn't been used. One, possible, reason is their aren't as many people showing symptoms. That doesn't mean that people don't have it- it seems a significant number of people either show no symptoms or very mild ones so don't think they are infected. I wonder what we will find if we ever do widespread anti-body testing. I suspect many people will have had it and not even known. Plus, the test isn't pleasant ;-) -- https://www.unitedway.org/our-impact...an-trafficking |

Obviously the surplus of eggs hasn't reached the quiche factory. Spent £9 yesterday and not a week's shopping done. Out of curiosity, can folks with excess time on their hands go foraging? On our regular exercise walk the wife and I pick nettle tops, Alexanders and wild garlic. They add a liitle colour and nutrition. Certainly turn your tongue a nice shade of black :-) |

So did I. Legionella has very similar symptoms. It was nightmare. Now, a nightmare within a nightmare. I don't remember that aspect - just the very high temperature and unable to think straight. different people react in different ways. Lots of people might have just picked up what they thought was a summer cold (or even a winter cold). There is no way of knowing how many people breathed in the bacteria and didn't get a serious illness because they are never identified and counted. |
