O/T Coronavirus Thread (4)

Just got a letter through asking me to participate in a random test to see if I have had/got Covid19. My test should arrive within a couple of weeks!!

And so it begins again.

Chinese authorities have imposed a new lockdown in Beijing to try and prevent the spread of a new coronavirus cluster that began in a food market.

China has largely eliminated transmission within its borders through hyper-strict lockdowns that were emulated across the globe.

But after mass testing at a wholesale food market in southern Beijing this week detected more than 50 new infections, people were forced indoors at 11 nearby residential estates, the market has been closed, and tourism to the capital from other regions has been banned.

Officials said the district has established a "wartime mechanism" to deal with the outbreak, as paramilitary police were seen around the market and a mass testing campaign was announced.

The chairman of the Xinfadi market told state media that the virus was detected on chopping boards used to handle imported salmon.

Most of the worst areas are in Wales where the NHS is run by Labour, whoops.

Looking locally it appears that April was the worst month.

So are you saying that the high death rates in Wales is the fault of the NHS
Have you done any research of the highest death rates in England & whether the NHS trusts are in Labour controlled areas there
It may not have occurred to you that the majority of LA's are under Tory control & it's essentially the Tories that are in National control

Since most of the deaths have been in care homes then isn't it likely that people with Covid-19 were discharged into care homes from NHS hospitals there?

So why try & link the deaths with Labour controlled areas
I get it that you don't like Labour, fair enough but ffs

How much does a 62 day stay in hospital with COVID-19 cost you on the NHS?

Probably not as much as the $1.1M billed to this man here where I live.

The NHS in Wales is run by Labour, I think you may have missed the point.

Just for a bit of balance
As a devolved administration, Wales receives a block grant from the UK central government which is then distributed between the different departments, including NHS Wales. The main difference for patients in Wales is that prescriptions for medicines are free for everyone.

Note how it is funded
Who runs the NHS in England is more to the point, after all it's where we live & aren't we doing a wonderful job 2nd highest death rate in the world
