Nom de plume Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Is there any web based statistical analysis of the breakdown in deaths for the UK? By that, I mean age groups, ethnicity, previous underlying health conditions? Though terribly sad, it would be interesting to be furnished with such information.

The ONS is the place to look, tons of info https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although frankly they are opening up too much as it is. People living at the same address should be required to stay at home too. 1 hour ago, winnie said: Come on, get that border open !!

Just as I was about to make my comeback, gah! Although the reasoning on the post is a load of bullshit. I wish they would just tell us the truth that they can't afford to run it without the UK riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly it's not worth it so they should just say so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 UK have decided to make masks mandatory in shops etc from next Tuesday. Enforced by fines. So that'll be fun for those determined to travel. Seriously some people have no idea how fortunate we are to be here. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Pretty concerning and possibly over the top predictions of a winter second wave being bandied about the UK media this morning. I'm still concerned that because of our 'success' both people and the government here are possibly being a bit complacent about things. I hope that behind the scenes there is some serious prep going on. Tynwald still taking the summer off yeah? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Some worrying news on a Sky News report yesterday evening too, concerning the fallout from COVID. Italy, one of the first countries to be hit badly by the pandemic is now reporting long term, if not permanent, effects to surviving victims including organ damage to kidneys and livers as well as the lungs and also spinal complications. It's also being suggested that those who develop immunity to COVID19 can lose that immunity in only 3 months, leaving them open to re-infection almost straight away. This virus is a long way from being understood or dealt with yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Because we're virus free and people want the borders open. All over the world cases are shooting up and places which seemed to have it under control are putting restrictions back. I guess its a kind of fatigue really, no virus here so ignore what is going on elsewhere, things must be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart problems as well - though the statistician in me would like to see a 'blind' study with equal number of patients who hadn't had Covid-19. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
