Fuck! Dunno which source you're looking at, but Guardian is saying the same thing. https://www.theguardian.com/politic...rking-charges-waived-for-nhs-staff-in-england
I did wonder if the low numbers for today and yesterday were too good to be true.

Yeah, I'm sure epidemiologists and statisticians are going to be chewing this over for decades to come. There's more data than ever before, and it's easier to come by than ever before, but how do you make sense of it when all the countries involved have different ways of testing for it (or not) and different ways of treating patients and recording deaths?
I bet there are big differences even from state to state in the USA, too.

but few icu staff https://www.irishtimes.com/news/hea...els-as-hse-stocks-up-on-ventilators-1.4201544
"Ironically, nearly half of the ventilators used in acute hospitals around the globe are made in Ireland. Galway-based Medtronic is one of the biggest manufacturers."
Basically more ventilators than qualified staff to use them
I'm now at a loss to know why the UK isn't importing some of its shortfall from Ireland, if that above quote is true
I imagine if German figures are true, it's a balance of all the important factors together - more nurses, more ICU staff, more beds, better healthcare, reasonable govt policy etc

I read something in the FT earlier about the Oxford model - it's getting serious flack from scientists at Imperial.
Looks like the whole thing has kicked off some serious intervarsity rivalry! I think Paxman should adjudicate.

Yeah, clocked that one when I read it. Like those sketchy academics paid to validate the economic system after '08
Evan Davis was interviewing someone about the daily figures and apparently what we have today is a 36 hour timespan rather than 24 due to realignment of figures from the 4 national NHS counts
Hasn't Neil Ferguson of ICL walked back from his model, now predicting 20k rather than the earlier 500k?
Except there usually is a fact of the matter, what with us living in a reality where people.are either alive or dead, it just depends which question you ask
Long read on dose response curve. Does a big initial dose make Covid19 infection worse? Yes, very probably. Can't be long before we're all "advised" to wear masks.

If medics know the background of a patient's exposure it means they can assign resources accordingly.

I too hate that homespun American style, it's the worst. Worse than Coronavirus.

Way worse. But I'll read the article. Bear with me.
