Do they really think we are 2 weeks behind Spain and Italy? Both of which had fewer than 200 deaths 2 weeks ago! We are atleast 4 weeks behind if not Five.

@ChrisGiles_ Update: following today's data from hospitals and ONS data, a cautious estimate of the number of UK excess deaths during the coronavirus pandemic to 19 May is 61,900 Of these 54,522 have occurred, the rest are estimates · 2h Replying to @ChrisGiles_ Today's data from @ONS showed a big fall in excess deaths, but there were only 88 registrations on VE day (8 May), so was an undercount. @NickStripe_ONS estimates the figure was roughly 2,500 lower than a full week would have shown. 2/ Chris Giles @ChrisGiles_ · 2h The distortions caused by VE day make estimates more difficult than normal. If you take the data at face value, the model gives v strange results, suggesting fewer excess deaths between 5 May and today than those testing positive in daily official data. 3/ Chris Giles @ChrisGiles_ · 2h Alternatively, if you look at the proportion of non hospital deaths and project on that basis, the estimates would be too high. So I have taken a mid point. It's not ideal. But these decisions have to be taken, not ducked, and need to be done transparently. Chris Giles @ChrisGiles_ · The truth is that this week's ONS data showing 55,000 excess deaths during the pandemic is likely to be an underestimate of the situation. Next week, the figures (with 6 days not 5) they are likely to show higher deaths. That will also be a distorted figure |

Why did the Govt put forward such an optimistic outlook for the Oxford vaccine trial on Sunday, when there seems to be evidence that it wasn't working?

I know the short answer is money, but why try to deceive the Public in such a blatant way?

Correct Des, he ramped hope up for that,maybe he has been misinformed? Though to be answering questions to the nation you would like to think his assertions then aren't shot down in a few hours.
With you there Eyeball. |

On a side note, another thing I find strange is this sudden adopting of anosmia as a sympton of Covid. I mean, we have known for several weeks that loss of sense of smell and taste are prominent signs that a person could have the virus. Yesterday, I wasn't watching that closely, but I'm sure that i heard a consultant surgeon say that he carried on working for days after experiencing loss of taste and smell. Supposedly unaware that those symptoms indicated that he should've self-isolated. How could an eminent medical professional not know what most of us were well aware of?

They are being led by the science, and Cummings is telling the scientists what to tell him
Never more striking than today. Johnson up against Starmer tomorrow Spoilt for choice of questions, Johnson on the vallium tonite? |

By:
If you have loss of taste/smell, chances are you have a cold
So all you need now to get a covid test is have the sniffles and be over 5 years old Coincidentally they need to test lots of people on 31st May to meet another self-imposed, meaningless target |
|
By:
Loss of taste/smell could be because of pollen count being high as well
Blocked nostrils are a big thing at this time of year, and of course if you have something up the nose chances are its going to become inflamed and run like a tap ffs They are changing what a cold is, they are changing what pollen allergy's are |

By:
Good point about loss of smell being Hayfever rather than Covid19
What UK needs is some type of test where people with symptoms can book a test and find out if they have an annoying but harmless pollen allergy or are infected by a dangerous virus. Wonder if anybody in government or any scientists have considered rolling out this type of test Sont? Could be a really useful. |
|
By:
LOL, gawd love,m everyone one remember over the years people with cold,s,hay fever, drinking glasses of vinegar to prove they,d lost the sensation of taste,smell,go on we ,ve all don't it,,
 , NOT |
|
By:
When they say loss of smell they mean they can't smell out of one nostril ffs, proper hypochondriacs ffs
Peanut butter is the best thing, if you can't smell the contents of that you've got no sense of smell confirmed |
|
By:
Blocked nose doesn't mean loss of smell, you can still smell to some degree
|
|
By:
Also Sont
Testing positive for Covid 19 doesn't necessarily mean loss of smell. It is just one possible symptom. If anybody feels they may have been infected they can arrange for a test. Or do you think peanut butter is a better indication of knowing if have contracted the virus. |

Within 10 days I predict the list of symptoms of Covid-19 will be updated to include "No symptoms at all" since there are undoubtedly a large proportion of covid cases who present with "No symptoms at all" and it's important that these people go get tested to confirm that they are indeed positive
|
|
By:
No symptoms at all is quite good
Anyone who dies is covid, run over by a car? well the car got sneezed on and tested positive for covid |
