@Sasha thanks for posting. the rest of the thread is also interesting (about masks): I’m hoping that the rules on wearing masks will change, now that more and more people are talking about it.

@Wonko there are surgical masks on eBay, I got a pack of 50 for about £25 before. They’re more expensive than they were before the coronavirus crisis but that’s about the cheapest I could find. I have a pack for us at home and also sent a pack to other loved ones. I also bought cloth masks for...

Yep. They’re trying to now pass it off that it wasn’t though. Hard to backtrack when it’s all on record.

It sounds like CPAPs are also in short supply in the Uk. Edit; they seem to be building a new prototype of it though, and Mercedes are building them. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/30/f1-team-helps-build-new-uk-breathing-aid-for-covid-19-patients

We are getting 30 ventilators next week, according to BBC news. (The NHS says they need 30,000). Even the newsreader seems pretty shocked..

Extremely sad today to hear of the doctors who have died in the UK, including those who came out of retirement, as well as the people who have died from the virus as well. :( Unbelievable to me that doctors, nurses, staff paramedics, people who test patients, people who go into care homes, etc...

Over the past few weeks, observing how this herd immunity thing has played out. I’ve seen people defending the UK govt’s policy on social media/other types of media/papers. It always goes like this: “The UK govt policy was never herd immunity! They only wanted to flatten the peak / spread out...

Ok.. but as far as I was aware, the OMF have still be functioning the last few years and doing work as they have published (the nano needle) I think 1 or 2 years ago, so I don’t understand how the lab could be closed when they’ve been doing work.

What do you mean?

I was thinking this when watching news coverage about the NHS before.

I just don’t think doctors in the UK will do this. I would have thought that if they were going to, they would have done it already. They’ve been forced to work without protective equipment and with just flimsy aprons and short gloves, been told this is the right standard despite being against...

Yes, this. Also the fact that we just won’t feel safe, and won’t actually be safe, out and about, but also in places like hospitals. How will they be able to ever make hospitals safe enough for people to have surgeries, resume cancer and autoimmune treatment, resume scans and screening and blood...

I do hope so, @Invisible Woman.

@Invisible Woman I understand what the reasoning was for NICE and central control. But like you I think that in correcting the issue, I think they’ve gone too far. I don’t think it has to be an “either NICE or Harold Shipman” type issue really. I don’t have the answers but I wish I was better...

Video about the Czech Republic and how they’ve managed to keep numbers of cases down a lot, and how masks have helped that. The minister of Health for the Czech Republic is featured in the video, saying it’s the most important thing they’ve done. They want this video to be shared widely. My...

I think the latest paper from Imperial is out (Neil Ferguson).

Anthony Costello again, thinks Deputy CMO should resign..(I too was shocked after seeing this clip. It does seem the lack of testing is very much a strategy).

Ireland: this is interesting and puts into stark perspective how different the UK policy is from much of the rest of the world and what the WHO advises. And this is greatly affecting Ireland as a whole. The North of Ireland is following what the UK does. While the South is doing what the WHO...
