UK coronavirus death toll 'passes 40,000' with more than 8,000 in care homes
Officially there have been 35,044 deaths involving Covid-19 in England and Wales up until May 1 - but projecting that forward for all of UK puts death toll just over 40,000.






The number of deaths in the UK involving coronavirus has passed 40,000, analysis of officials statistics by the PA news agency suggests.

This includes 8,000 deaths in care homes across England and Wales.

The total includes new figures published this morning by the Office for National Statistics.

These figures show that 35,044 deaths involving Covid-19 occurred in England and Wales up to May 1 (and had been registered up to May 9).

The latest figures from the National Records of Scotland, published last week, showed 2,795 deaths involving Covid-19 had been registered in Scotland up to May 3.

Coronavirus LIVE: UK death toll now over 40,000 with at least 8,000 in care homes
And the latest figures from the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, also published last week, showed 516 deaths involving Covid-19 had been registered in Northern Ireland up to May 6.

Together these figures mean that so far 38,355 deaths have been registered in the UK where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate, including suspected cases.

A further 1,678 hospital patients in England who had tested positive for Covid-19 died between May 2 and May 10, according to figures published on Monday by NHS England - which, together with the total figure of 38,355 registered deaths, indicates the overall death toll for the UK is just over 40,000.
The data painted a grim picture in care homes, which have been especially hard hit by the virus.

"Care homes (are) showing the slowest decline, sadly," ONS statistician Nick Stripe told BBC TV.

"For the first time that I can remember, there were more deaths in total in care homes than there were in hospitals in that week."

The figures showed care homes now account for a third of all Covid-19 deaths in England and Wales.

More than 8,300 deaths in care homes have been linked to virus since the epidemic started.

The number of hospital deaths has been falling since the second week of April.

Total number of deaths (including non-Covid)
Nick Stripe, head of health analysis at the Office for National Statistics (ONS), said the total number of deaths registered across England and Wales to the week ending Friday May 1 was 17,953.

Speaking to BBC News, he said: "That is about 4,000 lower than it was the week before but it is still 8,000 above the average that we would expect to see in this week at this time of year.

"So it is actually the seventh highest weekly total since this data set started in 1993 so we have had four out of the top seven weeks in the last four weeks."

Real projections are now nearer 65,000 deaths..

Whoever you Vote for... Government WinsWink

"Do They Owe Us A Living?"

**** the politically minded, here's something I want to say,
About the state of nation, the way it treats us today.
At school they give you ****, drop you in the pit,
You try, you try, you try to get out, but you can't because they've **** you about.
Then you're a prime example of how they must not be,
This is just a sample of what they've done to you and me.

Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do.
Owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do.
Owe us a living?
Of course they fckin do.

Aninteresting letter from head teacher..

Dear Parents/Carers



Yesterday, the government published their expectation for the opening of schools from June 1st. The aim is for children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 to return from that date, with children in the other year groups returning for the final month of the year. As the Prime Minister has stated, this move is of course dependent on the reproduction measure of the coronavirus continuing to decrease.



First of all, we are all very eager to return to school and spend time with our brilliant children. We miss them so much. However, my view all along has been that we have to be confident that a return to school is safe for everyone.



I have been involved in teaching for twenty years and along with the vast majority of headteachers in the country, I am absolutely baffled by the inclusion of Reception and Year 1 children within this plan. With best intentions, it is a challenge to ensure children of any age socially distance from their peers and staff members, let alone children aged four to six. I am in no way convinced that any child should be returning to school for the foreseeable future, particularly when the other European countries including our close neighbours are taking a different path.



So, can I guarantee that the children will stay two metres away from each other? I’m sorry, but I can’t, despite our very best intentions. If our other year groups return for the final month of the year, then any form of distancing will become virtually impossible. For parents, I am sure many of you are questioning whether your child will be safe on return. I am pleased that the government have stated that schools will not be accountable for attendance during this time and fining for absence is not on the agenda.
Cool


There are a number of serious considerations before we open, including:



Staff availability (we have a number of staff – including a teacher – who are shielding and for their own protection will not be returning to school this academic year)
How we organise ‘bubble groups’ of a maximum of 15 children with a teacher
How we accommodate and ensure the safety of each ‘bubble group’
How we ensure the ‘bubble group’ learn, play and eat in the same space for the whole day
How we implement protective measures including PPE when required
How we increase the cleaning of both sites including the resources within it
How we stagger start and finish times
How we stagger lunch and breaktimes
What we will teach and how it will be taught safely


As I have previously stated, the safety of the children, our families and the team is my priority. We are currently waiting for further instruction from the Local Authority before finalising our plan. As you can see from the considerations above, any plan will see significant changes to the school day and will impact on timings, both at the beginning and end of the day.  We will all need to be very flexible as we move forward through this process.  I intend to post the plan on the website by Friday 15th at the very latest so that you have enough time to consider and prepare for the changes prior to June 1st.



Thank you for your support, patience and understanding during this time.

Stay Safe everyone.



Yours sincerely

Yes, here we go again. We all saw it coming yet he buggered off on holiday, didn't turn up to COBRA meetings, gave misleading information on TV and reacted far, far too late which is the reason why we're still talking about lockdown and furlough payments several months after the outbreak while other countries managed to suppress the virus early and so are able to get back to normal far quicker.

Sorry if Boris fanboys are upset at criticism or maybe feel a pang of guilt at having voted someone clearly so incompetent, but that's life unfortunately.

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Denmark is “very unlikely” to be hit by a second wave of coronavirus, the country’s chief epidemiologist said on Tuesday, after the government laid out plans for increased testing and a contact tracing system.

The Nordic country, which has 533 coronavirus-related deaths, was the first in Europe to relax its coronavirus lockdown almost a month ago. The infection rate and the number of deaths have continued to drop.

Denmark's parliament on Thursday night unanimously passed an emergency coronavirus law which gives health authorities powers to force testing, treatment and quarantine with the backing of the police.
The far-reaching new law will remain in force until March 2021, when it will expire under a sunset clause.

"I was touched when I saw the whole Parliament standing up and voting for this," Health Minister Magnus Heunicke told Danish state broadcaster DR after the law passed.

"It is time to put aside party politics and be together to do what it takes to bring Denmark safely through this situation."

Jens Elo Rytter, law professor at Copenhagen University, said the measures were unlike anything passed in the last 75 years  "It is certainly the most extreme since the Second World War," he told the Jyllands-Posten newspaper. "There have been some powerful encroachments in various terror packages. But this goes further."

Trine Maria Ilsøe, DR's court correspondent, said that Danish citizens could face prosecution under the new law if they refused to comply with health authorities' demands. "It means that you could be sentenced to a punishment if you, for example, refuse to allow yourself to be tested for coronavirus," she said. 

The Ministry of Health will now work with the Ministry of Justice on the details of how the police will work with health officials to enforce their demands.

As well as enforcing quarantine measures, the law also allows the authorities to force people to be vaccinated, even though there is currently no vaccination for the virus.

It also empowers them to prohibit access to public institutions, supermarkets and shops, public and private nursing homes and hospitals, and also to impose restrictions on access to public transport.

Initially, the government wanted to the law to give the police the right to enter private homes without a court order if there is a suspicion of coronavirus infection. But this was dropped after opposition from parties in the parliament.

The parliamentary session was itself affected by the pandemic, with only 95 out of 179 MPs present for the vote, efforts made to ensure that MPs kept a safe distance from one another, and MPs voting by standing up.
