Hearing that the biggest at the coalface bottleneck in providing the vaccine is people not knowing their own NHS number.
FFS what is wrong with people?
How is this difficult?
How about having a convenient little card that fits in your wallet that you could take to places with you? ...
You mean so the government can track you?
Sheeple.
The secret plan to track you has been revealed.....it's a guitar pedal.

The UK recorded 1,041 deaths with COVID-19 in 24 hours today. More than Australia has recorded in the whole pandemic. The UK is losing more people to COVID an hour than NZ has lost in the year since the COVID outbreak was first reported.
Cool thanks for those comparisons. We weren’t aware.

It’s not good, but not as bad as you make out. Those figures are a combination of several days’ deaths. And non Covid deaths reported as down.

In case you weren't aware, New Zealand is a fucken basket case compared to Kiribati.

Kiribati is a model for us all.

BBC seriously pissing me off with their scaremongering.
30,000 odd now receiving hospitalisation for COVID-19 related problems.
Majority are 60 + but ‘many are in their 20s, 30s, and 40s’
How many is many you fucktards?
Obviously not many enough if you can’t give the number.

50 year olds must be relieved.

Today the UK reported 1,162 Covid deaths. As others have pointed out these are deaths recorded and reported in the last 24 hours not deaths within 24 hours. 7 day averages are a better indication of what is really going on.
Probably also pointing out these are people who died with COVID, not necessarily from COVID. They had a positive COVID test in the last 28 days. At the moment all people who admitted overnight at English hospitals have to have a COVID test.

I was at a large NHS hospital just outside London today for about a hour. Grim seeing what appeared to be a couple of COVID patients being taken in. Grimmer still talking to people who had just lost someone close to them.
Think we'll be in a better place in a couple of weeks, but tough times.

Think most countries are recording deaths this way, if they have tested positive and then die, they count as a covud death.
We have had 1 who was counted as a covid death yet had tested negative but because they had symptoms and had been in contact with positives they were counted.

Worth noting that the likes of Chris Whitty, Jenny Harries et al, have consistently said we won't know the true number of lives lost to Covid until we know the number of excess deaths from 18 - 24 month period

Real problems in Cornwall with infection rates. Have gone from 18 per 100k to 332 per 100k in 3 weeks. Increase seems to have coincided with Tier 4 being imposed in London and elsewhere just before Christmas.
Not clear whether increase due to people escaping London etc or Cornwall simply being behind the curve. Infections are now spreading thru households and not from work contact which has mainly been the case in the past.
Was out at the dentist and shopping today and there was almost no change in traffic or people on the streets from the weeks before Christmas - poss. more.
Not looking good.

surely the actual cause of death must be connected to the virus....like a gun shot victim with a positive test wont go down as a covid death
-
@Kiwiwomble I dont think so, I believe they are being recorded as a covid death if they have tested positive.
Unless every death was referred to the coroner to determine cause of death, they are unlikely to accurately separate out all those who died due to CV from those where CV has been one of many factors or were highly likely to die anyway but were CV positive.

@taniwharugby I would have hoped at least some high level differentiation....this guy doesn't have a head....not covid...this womans lungs have failed...covid
