@rowena_kay @danielhowdon@JamesWard73@ScienceShared@Dr_D_Robertson@whippletom Interpreting death rates when ICUs are under massive pressure is potentially misleading. When ICUs are strained then standard of care can be compromised and death rates increase. Cause and effect is tricky to establish with mathematical models unless you include all the variables
Elephant DNA is “a Duplicate Me program but it contains an almost fantastically large digression . . . That digression is an elephant. The program say ‘Duplicate me by the roundabout route of building an elephant first’.” (Climbing Mount Improbable, Chapter 8).
After the 2 days mass testing for Covid, here are results from Slovakia:
Total tested: 3,625,332
Positive: 38,359, c. 1% of pop
Enforced quarantine of the 38,359, + those who chose not to be tested, should provide a significant barrier to the survival of the virus in Slovakia
We're going into partial lockdown partly because of the failure of test and trace.
It has failed because instead of using the vast pool of expertise in the public sector (local and national), the government handed the contracts to incompetent profiteers.
The Government want to scrap free parking for NHS staff, which many thousands rely on. It also helps stop the spread of infection.
We have just a few hours to force them to change its plans.
Retweet and tell the Government to give NHS staff a break.
Dexamethasone saves lives in COVID-19. RECOVERY trial shows dexamethasone decreases risk of death in those needing oxygen by 20%, and by 35% in those on a ventilator. On the shelf, cheap and can be taken by everyone - a real breakthrough.
When I wrote these words, I didn’t know if anyone would read them. I certainly didn’t think this would happen.
I wrote them for my patients, my colleagues & myself.
Please watch this. Please share this.
This has been our reality. We can’t go back here.
They seem unable to grasp the very basics of disease transmission. Cummings' actions may have facilitated the spread of Covid-19 from London to Durham Hospital and there really isn't much more to it.
Cummings' and our government's inability to understand that what he did was wrong perhaps explains why we are suffering the largest death toll in Europe..
