ICUs are now full, apparently. And they're flying in extra staff from India, which is never a good sign.

She said it was like a ghost town and the doctor was very depressed. She ended up going to a specialise clinic and not a hospital though. |
Re: Lockdown
Ironically, I've heard that lots of doctors are worried about being laid off, which sounds insane to me. OK, so they might be a podiatric surgeon or whatever, but surely there's some way they can be useful in these times.

Most health professionals including doctors aren't trained for the emergency care required for COVID-19. Most have specific training for their specialty. Even GPs require additional training to be able to work with COVID-19. In the US most hospitals have laid off staff because all elective treatment were cancelled starting in March and most American hospitals are now underwhelmed because the surge never materialized. I read recently that the typical US hospital has been operating at 20% capacity since March. Same in UK.
The real economic pain though won’t be seen until 30 June. Almost all corporate debt is payable on 3 or 6 months which means pretty much everyone pays in June. The banks don’t know what is coming down the pipe but are certainly shitting themselves. I know we are. |

I’m sure that the antics of Finablr and NMC health haven’t helped with the general feeling of wellbeing in certain places.

Total annual car crash deaths : 14m Total annual flu deaths : around 400k Total annual malaria deaths: around 400k - mostly kids Total Syrian war dead: around 500k - with many more driven into poverty, displacement, and unreported indirect death Total void deaths to cause total economic (social and political just not seen yet) armageddon: 70k Yes, covid will probably hit a million dead. This is 8% of the car crashes, and around the same as the flu and malaria combined. We don't stop the economy due to cars, flu or malaria. UK COVID deaths under the age of 65 - 350 UK annual deaths by drowning - 400 50% of deaths are in care homes 25% of deaths in hospitals are people with diabetes 90% of deaths over the age of 65 My position on this economic insanity hasn't changed. The good news is that the general public and politicians are starting to see it. We need a new news item and them we can move on. I still think it'll be the US elections in September. |

They'll grow tired of a second lockdown idea and tired of staying in level 3 or higher when the R doesn't get below 1 much. But, whilst they're getting furloughed and paid to do **** all, I'd be happily locked down and protecting the NHS in that sort of Churchillian battle mentality BoJo is exuding. |

I just think it's a time thing. As you suggest, the general public are starting to see or believe or share what you suggest.

I'm not sure the NHS needs protecting. It performed just fine. We didn't even use the field hospitals.
But you're right. None of them have been needed, but I understand why they are/were there though. Flattening the curve etc. |
