Zarley Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 2 minutes ago, Banker said: From IOM GOV site A patient at Noble’s Hospital has died with COVID-19. It takes the total number of people who have lost their lives while suffering from the virus on the Island to 27. Whilst the person had COVID-19, it was not the primary cause of death. In future, deaths will be split to show where COVID-19 was the primary cause of death. The existing data will be amended to reflect this to ensure a consistent approach to reporting. As I say not sure if the data has been changed to show split yet . That's the death announced on 26 March. You referred to the most recent death(s), when it wasn't. It was only one that was referred to as with covid. You still seem to be ignoring the two deaths that were the actual "most recent ones". 18 minutes ago, Banker said: Apologies, all have been mentioned previously as underlying health issues as many were last year, Ashford did say they were going to redo stats showing those who died with & of COVID but hasn’t been done yet. It was clarified that the most recent ones were with Covid & the media statements were usual scaremongering headlines Should redo UK statistics as well. Go back and read my post again. I linked to and also quoted the same news release you did, along with the other two news releases announcing deaths during the current lockdown. Again, attention to detail isn't your thing. It's not just in this instance, it's a recurring theme with you. It's probably not that important in the greater scheme of things, but your posts end up being misleading as a result and you just further muddy the already muddy waters. It's tiresome. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Mexico Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 2 hours ago, the stinking enigma said: Ashie said on that that there's a 1 in 100 chance of developing a "stroke event" from getting covid itself. I find that a little alarming, considering i haven't even had a letter yet and the kids are back at school tomorrow, and neither have they. 1 in 100, is that correct?0 No it's nonsense and proof that Ashford's expert medical advice is still being provided by Courtney Heading's cat or whatever. As often with Ashford you can see where it came from. A paper published in February states: A total of 103 (1.3%) patients developed acute ischemic stroke among 8163 patients with COVID-19. But this needs to be set in context of the whole paragraph: Results: A total of 103 (1.3%) patients developed acute ischemic stroke among 8163 patients with COVID-19. Among all patients with COVID-19, the proportion of patients with hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation, and congestive heart failure was significantly higher among those with acute ischemic stroke. Acute ischemic stroke was associated with discharge to destination other than home or death (relative risk, 2.1 [95% CI, 1.6–2.4]; P<0.0001) after adjusting for potential confounders. A total of 199 (1.0%) patients developed acute ischemic stroke among 19 513 patients without COVID-19. Among all ischemic stroke patients, COVID-19 was associated with discharge to destination other than home or death (relative risk, 1.2 [95% CI, 1.0–1.3]; P=0.03) after adjusting for potential confounders. [my bold] In other words the comparative risk went up only from 1% to 1.3%. between those who had been hospitalised with Covid and those who didn't have it and were hospitalised for something else. Put simply someone who is in hospital is more likely to have a stroke afterwards because having been ill is more likely to lead to a stroke. More important these figures are only for hospitalised patients, only a small percentage of those who were diagnosed with Covid at any time (around 2% in the recent outbreak here). So the actual figure will be 1% of 2%, even assuming that these figures are confirmed beyond this study. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in line with UK Emergency Services with some aspects drawn from the military (which is hardly surprising given the Chief Secretary's background in the MOD). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold–silver–bronze_command_structure And that's it. Any specialisms required will drawn on from whatever the UK has in place, except for Manx solutions for Manx problems. After that it's down to the politicians. ...........and it will cost much more than even in the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they get some people in there without articulated heads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
