Nicola Sturgeon has just said 3,200 staff (and their families) have been tested. Still not nearly enough but well ahead of the situation down south. I was listening to the Welsh minister of health/chief medical officer and I'm sure he said 1500 NHS staff had been tested in Wales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about Schumacher and the German figures. Maybe they are just willing to keep people going for longer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea how that sort of thing works, Germany would be able to persevere for longer as they had a far better capacity to start with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The doctor Chapo had on this week said another (potentially underreported) issue is that Covid sufferers require a lot of care and not just hospital space. 32 minutes ago, Granny Danger said: It’s being reported that only 2,000 NHS frontline staff in England have been tested.

Isn't Ireland up to like 15000 tests or something? Think I read that somewhere but happy to admit I could be doing a Trump and taking numbers from one place and throwing them in elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 36 minutes ago, ayrmad said: From 463 deaths UK had 2961 after 8 days. From 450 deaths France had 2311 after 8 days. From 463 deaths Italy had 2503 after 8 days. Correct the 1st time, WHO made a mistake. From 100 we're behind both, looks like our death rate is increasing. Probably sounding selfish here but I'm more concerned about the "Scotland" figures as opposed to UK, which of course are heavily skewed by London. We're also taking a slightly different approach up here and while the Scottish Government have made mistakes and are far from perfect, they do seem much more competent and aware of the situation in comparison to their English / British counterparts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Stubbs Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I've actually managed to lose respect for Unionist Twitter throughout this, which I didn't think was humanly possible. Any shared approach between UK and Scottish Governments - 'haha wee Nippy taking orders, Boris running the show, loser' Any remote divergence in approach - 'What?! Why is she using this to make Scotland seem different, disgusting!1!1!' Bunch of absolute freaks, man. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
