They were in hospital recuperating from a procedure in the UK where they picked up COVID but without the test they would have never known. So again. Are you aware of anyone in Nobles as a result of catching COVID since 1st January? That's a very different thing to people who have tested positive who happen to be in hospital as a result of a trip to the UK because they were already ill with something else. There was an article I was reading a couple of weeks ago that was about hospital patients in scotland. Just over 25% had contracted covid whilst in hospital. So they were in for say a broken leg caught covid (no details of severity) and are then counted in the stats despite being in hospital anyway. If you try and question anything you're wrote off as some mad conspiracy nutter 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that presented in simplistic terms by the Government in order that the U.K. public can understand & form opinion? You know the answer. You still don’t seem to grasp my point - I’m pissing in the wind here. I’ll just have to accept that there are many (here) who see nothing strange in any of this. And how many of that 10% with no pre existing conditions were BAME? I am betting it will be at least half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not seen that, but 200 per week sounds like a lot. 40 per day. Must have risen drastically this last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyone Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Ageing population I’m afraid , plus a hospital that is at best a glorified A&E means more patient transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the ageing population, but an island this size can not ever have the facilities to cater for all conditions. Our tax would be about 45 % if we’re going to cater for every medical procedure here. Far cheaper to ship us away for specialist treatment. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned patient transfers as being part of that, but I think it's only about 40 a week at the moment, if that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Well they have not been that busy what with our obliteration policy which has worked. And it is a glorified A&E Chief.

Also if you want i can list all the services they offer that a 'Glorified A&E' doesn't do all of which have continued to run despite corona. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah right, a glorified A&E Thanks to our ‘obliteration policy’ we’re currently one of the few places in the British Isles still doing any regular elective work. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who believe the nonsense shoved down our throats. All that is what the NHS is for. I don’t have a clue how busy they have been and neither do you. Anyway , they should be busy or do you want to pay them for sitting on their thumbs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
