As things stand I wouldn't believe it wise for coroners to have to examine every death of similar causes. If it's a virus, whether Covid, winter flu, etc, I'd be satisfied with a professional estimation. I'm more concerned, at the moment, with the NHS using its time to care for the living. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong but that's how I feel. I'm not even sure how a coroner would check for proof of Covid, how long it would take and what good it would do. At a time when all the people, who need them, can't get tests I'd be unhappy if they were allocated to the deceased. I'm sure most people would agree with me.
As for a vaccine. first of all the flu vaccine doesn't work in 100% of cases. The CDC tells us that it is only 40% to 60% effective https://www.cdc.gov/flu/vaccines-work/vaccineeffect.htm Therefore even if there was a vaccine for this strain of coronavirus the odds are that it isn't 100% effective. How long dies it take to produce a vaccine - here is an article on the history of vaccines - the answer is - longer than 6 to 12 months https://www.businessinsider.com/how...s-in-history-2020-7?r=US&IR=T#typhoid-fever-3 Now I'm happy to take any vaccine - as long as it is medically proven to work, has no side effects and has been thoroughly tested However this has recently happened - https://www.anhinternational.org/news/uk-law-changes-for-covid-19-mass-vaccination/ Last Friday consultation finished on a mass vaccination programme for this virus in the UK. the above organisation had this to say about what is being proposed: "Legislative changes to The Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (HMRs) that fast-track mass vaccination using unregistered vaccines, as well as permit their advertising by commercially interested parties and their administration by non-health care professionals, should not be supported until such time that: A full range of plausible therapeutic treatments and pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical prevention options have been thoroughly evaluated and found to be of no significant benefit to public health Definitive results from trials (Phase III) are placed in the public domain that demonstrate COVID-19 vaccines have an acceptable risk/benefit profile to justify mass vaccination Scientific testing of possible interactions between COVID-19 and influenza vaccines has been conducted and shown to not cause any disease enhancement or other negative interaction given the two vaccines may be administered jointly. The proposed amendments to the HMRs undo over half a century of regulatory development in the fields of medicinal and consumer protection law that had the intent of protecting the interests of citizens. The expansion of legal immunity to civil liability, coupled with a reversal of the prohibition of direct-to-consumer advertising and the expansion of the workforce of vaccine administrators outside the healthcare professions, provides a recipe for coercion and a disregard for informed consent. This would create an environment where the planned mass vaccination programme of the British public using novel, unlicensed COVID-19 vaccines could constitute serious breaches of The Human Rights Act 1998".
Yesterday there were 6178 positive cases of this virus out of a total sample size of 218360 This means that 97% tested negative 3% tested positive https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/cases https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/testing 6178 positive cases is 0.0092% of the UK population The CDC has told us that these tests test for various viruses - including the common cold ATM there are 211 people on ventilators https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/healthcare The Guardian tells us that the government had plans to buy and presumably did buy 30000 ventilators https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...-source-30000-ventilators-for-nhs-coronavirus If they were bought then we currently have 29789 ventilators that aren't being used
There are currently 1257 hospitals in the UK https://www.sanctuarypersonnel.com/blog/2020/04/how-many-nhs-hospitals-are-there-in-the-uk They have 5900 critical care beds https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/publications/critical-care-services-nhs As of yesterday there were 1469 virus patients in hospital https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/healthcare How many required critical care beds is not stated
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Geo5/1-2/6/section/4/data.pdf It's a criminal offence to lie on a death certificate. A trained medical professional is still the only person who can sign a death certificate, not just the local porter or cleaner. "he shall be guilty of a misdemeanour and shall be liable— (i) on conviction thereof on indictment to penal servitude for a term not exceeding seven years, or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or to a fine instead of either of the said punishments; and (ii) on summary conviction thereof, to a penalty not exceeding [£100]. Say what you like about the data and statistics that are put about by the Government, likewise it's up to you to believe whether the restrictions placed upon us are warranted or not, but there's no way a doctor lies on a death certificate (unless they are willingly going against the above). The GMC would look into their medical licence as well as the criminal ramifications. A death certificate is a legal document, it's the same as lying for your passport or birth certificate, for the exact reasons as John Darwin faking his death to collect life insurance.
Excess deaths. The British Medical Journal wrote an article on this https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1931 The article they wrote said and I will quote: "Only a third of the excess deaths seen in the community in England and Wales can be explained by covid-19, new data have shown". And remember what the ONS said - people are having the virus placed on their death certificate even if they test negative for it. another important thing to note is that people are dying "with" the virus, not "of" it. It stands to reason that if you are cancelling tens of thousands of operations, consultancies, life saving treatment for people with Cancer etc and other life threatening diseases that ultimately a lot of those people are simply going to run out of time.
The NHS and ONS produce stats every week on this virus and unfortunately some of the figures they produce are hidden away in excel spreadsheets that you have to download. The last figure i saw and it could have increased is that - 308 people in the UK, under the age of 60, with no underlying health conditions - had died with this virus on their death certificate. I don't know what the under 60 population is in the uk but I would guess 50m plus?
I'm not getting into an argument with you. what I am doing is telling you what the CA and the ONS tells us. It is then up to people to make their own minds up.
All that article tells me is there are larger than expected numbers of deaths in the community which can't be attributed to coronavirus. Whether that's due to the points you've mentioned that treatments are cancelled, we don't know. I believe the treatments cancelled are "non-emergency" which opens a very philosophical line of questioning as to how you determine that. I imagine there will be a large inquest into the Government's response to the pandemic in a few years to judge whether it was lawful and the right course of action.
In January 2018 over 64000 people died in the UK due to a 42% spike in the flu https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5440785/Killer-flu-outbreak-blame-42-spike-deaths.html Did this even make the MSM? I can go on and on with this but my questions are: 1. why are we flogging this virus to death day in and day out? 2. the stats do not bear out this over blown fear porn being put out by the government and the MSM? 3. who decided that we would have this fear porn every day? 4. for what purpose? 5. can this even be classed as a pandemic? could you not say, charitably that this is an epidemic? 6. does whats going on justify one person asking me, quite seriously: "why is boris johnson turning England into a version of Airstrip 1 with the consensus and backing of a large number of the UK population" - his words - not mine? Absolutely nothing adds up about this virus. One final thing - why did the UK Govt 4 days before lockdown declare that the virus was non highly infectious? https://www.gov.uk/guidance/high-consequence-infectious-diseases-hcid I'll leave it there.
that is your opinion. All I am doing is placing a context on everything that is happening and giving you the links to bonafide websites such as - ONS, NHS, UK government, BMJ
Damned lies and statistics... Should the death toll, not be measured against those who have been unfortunate enough to catch/be exposed to Covid 19. It may well be that to date only a small proportion of the population have been exposed/caught Covid 19. Not everyone exposed to it, like with the flu will catch it. However if the whole population of the UK is exposed to Covid 19, a lot more will catch it, and a lot more will die of it. Then again this virus is obviously impacting the elderly and those with certain existing health conditions more. So perhaps what we need to know is what proportion of those over say 60 who have been exposed to Covid19 have caught it and how many die. If the vast majority of those, more susceptible and vulnerable to Covid19 have as yet not been exposed to it... it behoves the government to stop the spread... or perhaps some think if the elderly die it will save on pension costs and free the health service up look after the young easier.
I'm sure your partner has integrity etc but are you suggesting all doctors have ? We could start with a long long list with Harold Shipman https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-can-we-trust-the-covid-19-death-toll https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.da...sts-coronavirus-testing-failures-21965089.amp I'm not suggesting doctors are manipulating figures for government, that would be tin hat. But i disagree doctors are as fearful as care workers. Hospital Dr's maybe, but GP's sat at home doing phone consultations ? I know of a hospital Dr in London who has resigned over the farcical procedures laid out by government and refusal to sign a none disclosure document forced on them over Boris Johnson's so called Corona.
You obviously haven't read the changes since Corona I personally haven't accused doctors of falsifying death certificates for government. But figures are getting muddied. I find it offensive you find it offensive to question doctors. If doctors weren't questioned my mothers old doctor wouldn't of been struck off
If a doctor puts my death down as alcohol poisoning instead of drug abuse I'll live with it ... ... if you see what I mean. There's a lot more to worry about than hospital admin tbh.
It's a disgrace and no mistake ... ... The Figure Muddling Crisis of 2020! It's akin to the Bay of Pigs and Suez imo.
It isn't falsifying if a test was carried out and positive. It can be added to certificate even if the death was another cause. Covers all bases but is bumping figures up. Again, with change of laws since Corona who's to question except family ?
So Leyton Orient are the first club that has had to cancel a fixture due to corona as far as I'm aware but I highly doubt this will be the only time it happens. I really do fear that we're going to be looking at a very different landscape by season's end and I don't think we're going to see every club make it through, not without a massive financial input from somewhere. At the lower end of the footy pyramid, the Dover Athletic chairman was saying they've got 2 weeks left for somthing to be sorted out before they go under. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...two-weeks-left-says-dover-owner-jim-parmenter
From government guidelines, not being able to attend a loved ones funeral because they had drug or alcohol problem was a bit of a bummer though
