I got notified by my previous doctor of a certain date which was for a walk in clinic between set hours designated by surnames in alphabetical order. My present doctor in Wales expected a call to make an appointment although the information about who should call was on their website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Spice Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Total daily death evolution France Sept 21th Same question as last month, where are the 100s or 1000s of excess death that the alarming daily media wants us to panic about ? We are on the same numbers as previous years .... If we look at evolution of deaths by age for the period 01/05 to 21/09 (light green color bars). The comments about this numbers (by google translate ) : “While the number of deaths in France increased overall by 1% over the period from 1 May to 21 September 2020 compared to the same period last year, the increase in fact only affected those aged 65 to 74 (up 4%). The overall number of deaths is stable for those aged 75 and over (up 0.5%). It decreases in the under-65s, especially among the youngest. The trend is - 8% among young people under 25 and - 4% for those aged 25 to 49. There was also a decrease among 50-64 year old (-1.5%).” Situation is similar in England concerning evolution of global deaths : So again, needless panic…. BUT, yes, there is a red flag coming up. It is the positivity rate vs the numbers of tests done. This rate has gone up seriously recently. But again, more positive cases doesn’t automatically mean more deaths ! Indeed, the hospitals are now better prepared and know how to react and how to treat the patients. The table here under shows the evolution of the positivity rate per age. And yes, the evolution is very noticeable, specially amongst the young people. “Daily positivity rate on PCR tests by age group This table shows the percentage of people who have tested positive for Covid-19 virological tests each day by age group, from 0-9 years to 90 years and older, for the last 30 days. The threshold of vigilance is between 5% and 10%. The alert threshold is reached when the positivity rate is above 10%.” But OK, if you want to believe that we are doomed and should stop breathing, up to each ....

lazarus Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Social distancing at my local park yesterday...99% of the people were wearing masks. Only the obviously "crazy" folks were not. 😉 Unlike many parts of the US the Covid-19 infection/death rate is very low here. After the park I went to a bar (outside seating only), drank beer and watched football. Edited October 5, 2020 by lazarus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about its popularity but it is certainly incorrect, at least where I am. The rules were followed and community transmission was eliminated. The the rules were relaxed to the point where the only rule in place is the one that keeps those disease ridden people from the Eastern States on their side of the border. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this park, there is also an option to sit wherever you want while social distancing from other groups. Not everyone does. People just don't get it in most of the US. If you aren't proactive you can contract the disease, and potentially you or someone you pass it onto dies. The US is up to about 210,000 reported dead. The "fearless leader" and his trophy wife have it. It's not something to mess around with or go at half-a**ed. Places that have shut it down are slowly getting back to a semblance of normalcy. . . .

Stillearly Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 World beating ...... The weekly rate of new Covid-19 cases has soared in dozens of areas of England, following the addition of nearly 16,000 cases that went unreported because of a technical error with an Excel spreadsheet. Manchester now has the highest rate in England, with 2,740 cases recorded in the seven days to October 1 - the equivalent of 495.6 cases per 100,000 people, up from 223.2 in the previous week. The problem has led to a delay in efforts by NHS Test and Trace to find the contacts of those who tested positive for the virus, in some cases by around a week. https://www.itv.com/news/2020-10-05/covid-cases-soar-in-parts-of-england-after-missing-cases-factored-in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Speaking of enforcement...in Thailand...

They'll bust you quicker than they'll take care of you! All for a nice price... "...confinement at The Senses runs to about 170,000 baht, or 590,000 for a family of four..." . . .

KhunDon Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 2 teachers at my sons school tested positive on Thursday, so they and several kids were sent home to quarantine for 14 days! The school has been extremely diligent with keeping the children distanced from each other and loads of safety measures have been put in place, but all too no avail it seems. I suspect his school, along with many others, will go into lockdown again well into 2021 if infection numbers increase, as they seem to be doing. So I’ll be back to home tutoring again☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
