Sinkov you’ll be delighted to hear we’ve had over 53000 new cases reported today a new record and
London's intensive care units have asked several major Yorkshire hospitals to accept a transfer of critically ill patients as the capital's ICUs surpass maximum capacity. Leaked figures from the internal NHS critical care capacity dashboard have revealed that England's ICU capacity is now running at over 100 per cent at a number of hospitals across London, the south east, and east.
Data from the internal NHS critical care capacity dashboard - leaked to HSJ (Health Service Journal)- showed that London had far surpassed its maximum capacity with intensive care units 114 per cent full on Monday night. ( that’s two in a bed time)

The south east was not far behind with ICUs at 113 per cent capacity. In the east of England the leaked capacity data shows units running at 100 per cent.

NHS hospitals are running out of oxygen, medics claimed on Tuesday as they began planning to set up makeshift tents to try and cope with an influx of coronavirus patients.

Patients were having to be moved more than 65 miles to the nearest hospital with intensive care capacity, medics warned.

the situation is worst in the east of England, where there are 2,922 patients, up 74 percent from a first wave peak of 1,679 on April 12. The South-East has seen a similar rise to 3,796, compared to 2,881 in April.

Hospitals in London have also surpassed the peak seen during the first wave.

There were 5,371 Covid-19 patients in the capital on December 28 3.2 per cent above the 5,201 peak on April 9. The North-East and Yorkshire, where hospitals are still below but approaching their first wave peak, had 2,528 patients on the same date, 5.0 percent below the 2,661 peak on April 9.

Can't say I'm delighted OC, even though I've been proved right. How much more evidence do you need that Lockdowns, Circuit Breakers, Tier Systems, Face Masks, Testing and Track and Trace, we're up to 500,000 tests a day now, cannot and will not bring the virus under control ? Like I've been saying all along, correct me if I'm right.

Pre-Covid, on average 10,000 people died in the UK every week from a variety of causes. We are still witnessing the same figures.

Something just does not add-up or am I missing something?

So I presume that you will be throwing a big bash on New Years Eve, open to anyone and masks will not be allowed?

If that is the case , then you would certainly be inviting moi.

Alas, I am otherwise engaged mon ami!

So what do you propose we do Sinkov let’s have your pearls of wisdom.
Why not do more research first though.
I suggest Australia and China might not support your theories

My daughter-in-law, a GP in Sheffield, was a volunteer in the development of the Oxford vaccine and she has had the vaccine, is still alive, in spite of the fact that her main daily rounds mean that she is in several care homes in order to deal with the elderly.

My son, a Paramedic in London and on the front line, has not even been offered anything up to now, even though a few of his colleagues have died with the virus ---all in their 50s. To be honest, my son has been hauled over the coals because he queried the fact that, right from the start, the ambulance crews did not have the correct PPE and were sent out to deal with infected people without the proper equipment. This is an ongoing situation, I could tell you a lot more, however......................................

Why am I not shocked at this revelation supersub6? I would have thought the NHS would fully support a "Duty of Care" vaccine by choice paradigm to all of their employees. To do otherwise seems like reckless dereliction to me.

But with Hancock in charge anything is possible.

BT --the LAS seems to be a law unto itself, as I said, I could say a lot more, however, it wouldn't be the right thing to do with what my son is going through at the moment because, after 25 years in the job, he chose to speak out!
The Chief Executive is not a medical man ---he used to be the head of Transport for London ---and the taxi drivers were over the moon when he moved on from that job!

Yes excess deaths here around 15-20% despite better treatments being available, you are ignoring the South East situation too which will lead to sick patients not getting adequate care, as there are no staff and no beds for them, you are ignoring the impact of deaths in two weeks time from the 53000 new cases yesterday.
There’s none so blind as those who cannot see.
Specsavers won’t help either.
