I have been thinking of Lloy for a while and still watching. If they don't announce a divi cut by end of this month then might start buying soon, if they do then I'll probably wait..
Health is more important.

Boris cant do sums at all,can he?

We were supposed to have left the EU BECAUSE their liberal attitudes were too much for the brains of the Little Englanders to bear. Now we have Boris apologising that he has to ask us not to go to the pubs, not apologising that his delay in action and failed original policy has taken lives. We are the last ones to take any serious action in Europe. We are now the ones acting far too liberal during the most damaging crisis to hit us since WW2.

London needs to be put in lock down, within the M25, now, or herd immunity is what we will get whether we like it or not.

Boris and Cummings are now a serious danger to our lives not just our net-worth’s, they need to be removed.

?As Covid-19 cases continue to soar across the globe, governments are putting rescue packages in place to support their economies.Germany is reportedly planning to borrow €356bn - equivalent to 10% of GDP - to fund a €600bn rescue package during the Covid-19 crisis and supplementing finance minister Olaf Scholz's emergency budget which will announce an additional €150bn in government spending to assist SMEs and the self-employed as well as a boost for hospitals.Measures under consideration include €400bn in government guarantees for existing debts and €100bn in state loans; alongside €100bn to enable to government to buy shares in strategic businesses at risk.Back in the UK, Chancellor Rishi Sunak has been urged to come up with a solution to help the millions of self-employed across Britain as freelancer, contractors and sole-traders see their businesses crash and incomes evaporate almost overnight. Generous packages have been put in place for PAYE employees. "When we put the virus behind us we (want to) be able to get back to normal life. The quickest way to do that is to avoid having 1, 2 or 3 million people losing their jobs. I'm sure the Chancellor will be looking at the self-employed as well" said Jeremy Hunt on today's Marr Show.As GPs write to 1.5 million high-risk patients across the nation telling them that they need to isolate at home for the next 3 months, Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick announced that the armed forces, supermarkets and the NHS will be co-ordinating to make sure that they receive food and medical supplies.Following pleas to Britons to stop panicked bulk buying, Mr Jenrick said that "the food sector is very resilient. They'll be able to ramp up supply... But they do need our help so that when we go to the supermarkets we behave responsibly."Major supermarkets are working together to keep the country supplied. Former Nestle executive Chris Tyas is setting up a 'war-room' to coordinated food supplies, whilst competition rules are being relaxed. Retailers will share stock data, pool staff and delivery depots, vans and drivers and coordinate their opening hours. Laws around store delivery times and driver hours are also being relaxed to keep shelves stocked.In an unprecedented move, the government has struck a deal with the private healthcare sector that will provide an extra 8,000 hospital beds across England, nearly 1,200 ventilators and almost 20,000 fully qualified staff from next week. Under the terms of the deal, the private sector will be reimbursed only at cost.As Brexit talks are delayed by both chief negotiators being put out of action by the virus, a new cross-party think-tank, the Centre for Brexit Policy has been launched by Chairman Owen Paterson MP, the former Conservative minister. Directors include Labour MP Graham Stringer, the DUP's Sammy Wilson MP and former MEP John Longworth.Aiming to "make the intellectual, evidence-based case for a 'real Brexit' and its benefits", fellows include leading Brexiteers including science author Viscount Ridley, lawyer Martin Howe QC, energy expert John Constable, and economist Ruth Lea.For the latest news and developments throughout the week, please do follow @GlobalVision_UK on Twitter and via our daily briefing.

Cheery reading for a sunny Sunday afternoon.




Revealed: official guidance for doctors to decide which coronavirus patients get critical care

Triage to be based on patient 'frailty score' and age-banded mortality tables for pneumonia and underlying heart and lung conditions

By
Paul Nuki,
GLOBAL HEALTH SECURITY EDITOR, LONDON
22 March 2020 • 8:04am





Official guidance has been issued to NHS intensive care doctors on how to decide which coronavirus patients should get critical care.

The guidance was issued by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) yesterday and provides an “algorithm” to help doctors decide who should be admitted to critical care and who should not.

In Italy there has been controversy as - with hospitals overwhelmed - doctors have reportedly been forced to discriminate between patients based crudely on age alone.

The UK has about half the number of critical care beds per head of population as Italy and intensive care doctors here have been calling for central guidance on triage to be issued for several days.

The NICE guidance does not categorise potential patients by age but instead asks doctors to score patients on a nine-point “clinical frailty scale” [CFS] .






At one end of the scale, with a score of one, are the “Very Fit” - people who are “robust, active, energetic and motivated”, and who “exercise regularly”. At the other end, with a score of nine, are the “Terminally ill”.

The NICE algorithm divides patients at a score of five, the “Mildly Frail”.

Those with a score of less than five who would like critical care are considered well enough to benefit, subject to a review of any underlying conditions and the severity of their illness.

Those scoring over five are put through a process where doctors must decide if critical care is “considered appropriate” before proceeding.

“For patients with confirmed Covid-19, decisions about admission to critical care should be made on the basis of medical benefit, taking into account the likelihood that the person will recover to an outcome that is acceptable to them and within a period of time consistent with the diagnosis,” says NICE.






Intensive care doctors use frailty scales in normal times to assess patients.

But the new triage guidance also provides them with mortality data for patients suffering from pneumonia in critical care beds compared to a regular ward. This data is banded by age as are similar mortality tables for patients with and without underlying heart and lung conditions.

These data will help doctors make better informed decisions beyond the patient's frailty score on the “medical benefit” of their receiving critical care.

Most coronavirus deaths are caused by pneumonia.





The guidelines also say that Covid-19 patients receiving treatment for cancer or who need dialysis must also be carefully assessed ahead of receiving critical care.

“Where decisions need to be made about prioritising patients for treatment, these need to take into account the level of immunosuppression associated with individual treatments and cancer types,” it says.

Nice says the guidelines will be updated as more data becomes available. They have been produced in collaboration with NHS England and a cross-specialty clinical group, supported by the specialist societies and Royal Colleges, it adds.
