    That's two questions, sorry.
    Each country has approached this virus in an independent way...this partially explains the complete fcuk up around the globe in the age of globalization...Every country has applied their own best practice for their country...
    For that reason you just have to see how politicians from around the world have put there own political party before the greater good for humans...so no surprises there...
    All these numbers are not really reflective of the reality in countries....in some countries local authorities are releasing figures that are higher then the national!!!
    How can that be? Politics...is your answer.
    As a yard stick...i roughly round up by about 10% for all cases...including deaths!!
    Even that is conservative......

    Dubs - are ICU'S filling up where you are! 367 deaths here today and many are saying the second wave could be worse than the first! Even a GP said today - it's going to get serious very soon. What's your thoughts on this as certainly getting worse here!

    At the moment no...although we have had to open up our Covid ward because our isolation rooms are all full with VRE, MRSA CPe and all the others bugs that need isolation.
    They get admitted onto the ward where they are treated and if and when they deteriorate, they come to the ICU.
    Underlining conditions play a big part and seeing as many are obese and have Diabetes and such...there conditions can change quickly... We have changed out early practices from last March/April time as more information is gained and of course more younger people are getting it so they usually are more obese then older people.......but the infections numbers are coming in around 1,000 a day for now...
    We shall see......so far no sign of a winter strain of flu which is good news....
