As far as I am aware the employer pays the wages then the company is given a grant to cover it.

Spain have taken thar decision! Not enough respirators so Doctors are deciding to take the patients that will die off the respirator and give to one that have a better chance of survival. How the fuck they can decide that God only Knows.

I would have thought that by increasing the number of trains on the underground you had more chance of spreading out the passengers rather than what he did an reduced them! people are like sardines in the trains now and as isaid a Tsunami of cases are coming in London.

But that isn't what the loon was saying, hecwas claiming the government was going to do it to all people over 65

The reduced train s are mostly down to reduced staff numbers

Thanks. I found out today I'm furloughed for 3 months on 80% wages. This I can deal with.
But about 11 months ago, I took a 12 month mat cover which ends mid May. I'm therefore not sure what happens mid May? If theres no financial liability for my company (ie it's a grant and the govt pay it) then I'm in a better situation. If it was a loan, I'm technically out of a job mid May with a mortgage to pay and two mouths to feed.
Waiting to find out next week what my company can do for me. I'm hoping 10yrs good service and a decent reputation amongst seniors will help me out.
Proper hit home today when I got the call from my boss.

It’s a grant, the company claims back the wages: Claim for your employee’s wages through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme
Hope it works out.

I disagree.

I do too, given they've already done a lot of work to try and increase bed capacity in the existing hospitals it is rather worrying the numbers being stated. Unless that's the point and it's the nudge theorists at work.

The possibilities are endless, aside from a couple of countries the figures are still growing around the world with no sign of any slowing. At all.

Cool, evidence to back up your claim?

Hoping this lockdown allows NHS to get a handle on things and reduces new cases once reviewed

There is only so much you can do with existing infrastructure, they were always going to have build new facilities.
If they didn't do this and suddenly they needed more beds they'd be rightly slaughtered.
Professor Neil Ferguson of imperial college who wrote the report that people like to quote has now changed his forecasts and thinks the NHS should just about cope due to the increased capacity
How many cases do you believe are out there currently ?
Not just the tested .
And how many do you think are hospitalised?
Does this double every three days? .plus the compound of each total before hand.
Looks like they're aiming for 20k+ beds to me

The amount of cases is unknown as we don't know the percentage of cases that will asymptomatic. We won't know this until we are in a position to start wide scale antibody testing so any numbers would at next be a guess.
Most of the active cases will have at least presented at hospital and that was at around 13 and a half thousand. But it is highly unlikely there will be anything like that in hospital at one time.
The cases are doubling every 3 days, that is the expected path. It is when it doesn't double after days that is important as this is when the urvebcould be starting to bend.

And that is sensible
This thread is now a Coronavirus one, understandably, there needs to be one for football only fundamentally in our current situation promotion in limbo, ground issue not solved putting the future of our club in jeopardy.

in England it is done by three consultants who look at the prognosis and make decisions based on an agreed treatment/ withdrawal.

You think when this kicks off they’ll have the time or staff to get three consultants together?

Looking for positives... if the police now have the power to break up groups, how about they start with Coldplay
I don't think that will happen, I heard Sting is good friends with Chris Martin

So we have a difinitive number from Simon Stevens as of yesterday
6200 poeple being treated in hospital currently.
Surprised me I thought it may be 66% of that.

No. What do you think?
I guess they trust each other and challenge accordingly. It may not mean physically standing around a patient. I only have the comments of 2 consultants to base my views.

Italy appear to have flattened the curve of new cases.
They are having less than 1000 deaths a day.
Let’s say this virus goes away within 14days isolation.
That would see them topping out around 20-30k deaths.
What evidence are people using when projecting 50k+ for this country in this thread?
I think the US are the ones who are going to see massive losses from this. They are only just starting to realise how dangerous it is and they are the highest infected country in the world.
Just to be clear I know these numbers are huge and I’m not trying to trivialise the death of thousands.

It is too early to be making such predictions, especially for new cases, as the behaviour of some idiots means that the south is still a bit of an unknown, especially due to having less resources in the hospitals compared to the north.
Agreed on the USA though, they will end up the worst out of all countries (not that I believe the official figures from China).

Experts on tv seem to think London cases and deaths will soar for the next couple of weeks and some areas such as north Birmingham Wolverhampton will do similar, they do seem concerned on the Birmingham/Wolverhampton areas.
Just stay indoors for atleast 2 weeks minimum, watch tv, just go out for food.
