I hope that's what the government's Job Retention Scheme will be for. Not sure how it's going to work yet. My company is looking at it for me too.Me & the wife have had the businesses we work for close.
Just hope there's gonna be some financial aid, cos without it, we have no savings and will be screwed.![]()
I think potentially a treatment, maybe not a cure, they've been testing here also and have had promising results in particular for people in the early stages, less so for people in the advanced stages, right now we don't seem to have too many options
Well the UK is in lockdown.
Week 16 would be 3 weeks away, but I think that is pessimistic, to me it looks like you are at the peak this week. Your daily new cases are currently decreasing, not increasing. They will be affected by increasing restrictions, so maybe the real peak is next week. But it is good to be safe and plan for more than enough ventilators.Prognosis say on its peak ( estimated week 16 ) Denmark will need 991 ventilators in hospitals,,,,, but we only have 925 available right now, but that number can go as far as 1260 ventilators if we really get backed into a corner.
But worse still is the lack of skilled people to do the work in hospitals.
ATM only 47 are on a ventilator, so just the calm before the storm if the numbers are right.
I think we are now restricted too much, the new restrictions should have been just for London, we are getting left behind!Not quite, only non-essential shops are closing
"Travelling to and from work, but only where work absolutely cannot be done from home"
......
Seems the government has been looking too much at the Italian experience and is taking extra precautions, the extra delay will deliver the extra 20,000 ventilators, although there is little evidence that they will be needed. The 20,000 deaths that the government said would be a good result is looking more like 2,000.
I think the biggest problem with those "ballons" were the impossibility of sanitation, which mean they were single use only, thus not enough pcs given the emergency.Seem more complicated than just a "plastic bag"
But it might be more comfortable VS having your head inside a balloon.
First of all, to be an "officially approved" treatment, it will take months if not years. However, all the involved drugs are already approved for use in treatment. So, doctors don't have to wait for official approval to use these drugs. In fact, they are using them now, with great success, and will continue to do so long before official approval arrives.There are lot of trials being done.
But for a definitive one I think it might **at best** be months away.
To approve you need lenghty trials, comparison with placebo, side effects.
And should still be a "treatment" like we treat other flu, not a magic medicine which fill be a fix for all.
