Any idea how many tests Vietnam and Malaysia are doing each day?

[darrin1471] 14/4/2020 16:55

Vietnam have reported no Covid -19 deaths.
Malaysia have reported 3 deaths per day on average over the last 3 weeks.

[sh1984] 14/4/2020 13:43

As a positive its good to see Vietnam and Malaysia will resume fights this week and plans for a vaccine are being accelerated by various medical institution.

sh1984. I have seen some chart created but third parties that have notes added that data has been adjusted to compensate for anomalies and for consistancy when reading across countries. From what I have read, the data can be up to 10 days after event, so perhaps to go on "cleaned up" data would mean we only see stale data, not progress, or not, that we are making.
Maybe that is something tha can be looked at ready for next disease etc, to have infratructure to take in data quickly and be able to segregate primary and secondary causes of death and any other factors that influence methods to address.

Idea: Database with NI number as the unique ID.
Population can fill in their own data, on data fields such as, have you caught X, on what date.
I am sure we all agree, that for both health and financial reasons gov needs to know scope and scale of problem quickly and if/when different solutions are effective.

anyone know business to be discussed at GM after the AGM on 7th May. Can't locate proxy form on RR website.

Fair point.

[sh1984] 13/4/2020 15:34

Interesting link Doc, yes I read that one a few weeks back. It’s true that while its only the sick people who get tested we won’t know the true impact of the virus.

I would like to see the government show a chart of how of the people who died from Covid also had underlying medical conditions. But they never show this info.

They selectively show number of cases vs number of deaths. If you just look solely at those metrics then you are better off surviving the virus living in Burundi! However probably more likely to get shot there..

The Chinese can "fudge" the death cases....still they fudge everything despicable nation

[dr_smith] 13/4/2020 11:33

sh1984. Just read this. This link is old, dated 1/4/20, found it interesting myself and thought it would interest you too.
Coronavirus: How to understand the death toll

Usually it's none! Yes plenty die from annual flu. But this virus? None. Which is exactly the point. How do you think China stopped it so quickly (if you believe the numbers) Because the people do as they are told over there. They dare not do anything else! But here in the UK there are too many f-wit armchair experts who think they know better than the scientists, virologists and real medical experts which means our national covid problem will endure longer than it should. Do you think think the pop up hospitals built all over the world have been built for fun? They've been built knowing restrictions on movement are in place. Just think how bad it would be if everyone was allowed to just do their own thing!

[sh1984] 12/4/2020 12:04

What case?
Every year 600,000 people die on average in the UK.
How many have died from Covid?

[secretsqu] 11/4/2020 17:43

Keep an open mind and stick to the facts! Which is death rates, can't fudge those.---I rest my case.

[sh1984] 09/4/2020 20:01

I’m sure you’ll find the article interesting and it may inspire some thought.
When it comes to investing we scrutinise figures like crazy but when it comes to government numbers on the pandemic we accept them on blind faith.

You’re the deluded one... have a read and check the stats for yourself!

[secretsqu] 09/4/2020 17:20

Probably the most deluded post I've read in quite some time.

[sh1984] 09/4/2020 16:59

Understand where you’re coming from, if you look at how many people have died from Covid 19 on average every week for past 3 weeks in UK. The weekly average number of deaths is lower than it has been for past 6 years.
Covid response to to the pandemic is also extreme.

SH1984 Did not know we past the infection peak

Boris Johnson ask the Uk on the 16 march to not travel and to stop any non-essential

contact (24 days ago )Uk 24 Wuhan 76 = 52 days left ,7 weeks to go

And on March 23 government lock down stated (16 days ago )UK 18 days,Wuhan 76 days = 58 days left 8 weeks to go

And have not quiet worked this out yet, but is not coron 19 seasonal, meaning it comes back next winter and will die down in summer months
Is wuhan warm climate helping slow/stop there coron19 and will that help us and Europe as we move into our summer months ?

[sh1984] 09/4/2020 16:33

Only a matter of time before it does... Maybe sooner if a vaccination is developed. As Wuhan was outbreak occurred they do have a head start, but shows life will go back to normal eventually.

[teamwork1] 09/4/2020 15:50

The problem is every country needs to go back to normal for the flights to start

[sh1984] 09/4/2020 14:53

Life back to Normal in Wuhan after 76 days! we won't be far behind now that we have passed the infection peak.
