I know statistics aren’t always as black and white as they’re presented, but this really is welcome news, whether it’s a statistical anomaly or not.
Agreed, and despite what the future holds it's a good headline and a first. As more get vaccinated, especially with the 2nd jab then hopefully there will be more good news... We need it.Makes not a jot of difference.
At the hospital we still have to dress and act like the Black Death is hiding round every corner and what's more, we will have to continue to do so for the next year, according to the trust.
The same trust has 1 patient in the main regional hospital with covid after around 10 days of no covid patients at all, the last death in my area was on 1st March 2021 and there are an average of around 5 positive tests per day out of around 3000 tests taken.
Absolutely insane behaviour.

How's the stats for secondary infections looking at the moment, mrsa and that sort of thing? At the hospital we still have to dress and act like the Black Death is hiding round every corner and what's more, we will have to continue to do so for the next year, according to the trust.

I suspect that they are a lot lower thanks to the extra covid precautions.

I do know, however, that the mental health teams have a waiting list that will take a decade or two to get back to a reasonable level. A cardiologist I speak to says the same and so does the renal specialist. I don't know anyone in oncology but I bet it's the same there.

I've not seen stats for the UK. However, The Australian ones showed both deaths and hospitalisations for flu virtually on zero. I suspect that they are a lot lower thanks to the extra covid precautions.
It seems probable that masking and distancing saved hospital ICUs from being overrun.
There's a fair bit online on the efficacy of masks with regards to limiting all infections. It seems that the winter rush for beds did not materialise for the normal diseases this year.

This is what so annoys me about the likes of Ravi Gupta - who I've just watched on Channel 4 news - wittering on about third waves, and surges, and variants, and saying everything must be locked down for several weeks more..............there's no balance. Star-struck academics like him seem to think that only covid matters, that no other disease or condition is relevant. Never mind the cancer deaths, never mind the children who are way behind in their literacy, never mind the mental health crisis, and never mind the businesses on the verge of collapse. No; masks, lockdowns, social distancing must all remain because of some nerdy academic's obsession with covid. On a day when ZERO DEATHS from covid was announced. You couldn't make it up!
Scientists like him are dangerous. They have absolutely nothing to lose financially if the economy is locked down so they focus purely on Covid to the exclusion of any other adverse effects.I wonder what his view would be if his salary was halved during each lockdown…

the family day trippers are a thing of the past, one semi-ill or fight wounded person dragging granny and also adhd kids to misbehave in the waiting rooms is now not happening because of the one person only rules.
I suspect the NHS staff are quite liking some aspects of all this.

At our trust, appointments are not running at full capacity so yes, you may find that appointments actually run on time but the backlog is still growing, albeit at a slower rate.
As for the frequent flyers, a rainy day has the same effect.

average new daily cases running around 2000. None of those people have died? Not Even from other circumstances which by all means still counts as a covid death as stated on the Gov website.
Unlikely, average age of positive cases is now 39 years old, as most people older have either had 1 or both vaccine jabs. 2000 people testing positive out of a population of c.67 million is naff all and as they are mostly young people they might be "testing positive " but they aren't likely to be very ill.tom2019 said:

Most of those 2000 will be a simple infection.A case is something diagnosed by a doctor and requires medical treatment.
Well, back in the times of logic and common sense, it was.
