As the saying goes "the devil is in the detail".

If you can't(or more likely won't) see why there is no point in having any discussion with you. I pointed out that, despite your claims, the number of general and acute beds beds occupied by Covid patients in Welsh hospitals increased by more than 40% between 21 November and 21 December, while the number of no-Covid patients in this set of beds actually fell slightly. You, of course, continue to ignore figures that don't suit you.

"Yet despite that, their hospital occupancy is at unprecedentedly low levels."... Did you actually read this link before you posted it yesterday? https://statswales.gov.wales/Catalogue/Health-and-Social-Care/NHS-Hospital-Activity/nhs-activity-and-capacity-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic/nhsbed-by-date-use

You still haven't said whether you trust them.

Does that mean that you don't trust your family?

Do you not believe that that the admissions are due to the patients being ill? a positive Covid test does not lead to automatic admission to a hospital and ICU.

Which point is that? That the pandemic is over?

Very selective, as usual. It seems to have escaped your notice that your link also shows that there has been a 40% increase in the number of acute beds occupied by Covid-19 cases from 20 November and 20 December. During the same period the number of acute beds occupied by non-Covid cases dropped by 10%. Your dismissal of US figures because they don't suit you is absolutely typical. https://www.statista.com/chart/23746/icu-bed-occupancy-rates-in-us-hospital-areas/ "According to the dataset, ICU bed capacity is already at or above 100 percent in 113 hospital service areas with the highest occupancy rate seen in Cullman, Alabama, at 131 percent. It also looked at how things are developing in areas with a high population, an ominous trend which is illustrated on this map. There are zero ICU beds available in Albuquerque, for example, which has an occupancy rate of 116 percent. In Baton Rouge, that figure is 106 percent while it stands at 107 percent in Ogden, Utah. The New York Times described the situation in El Paso as marginally better with 13 free ICU beds out of 400 in total, which still makes for an occupancy rate of 95 percent. More than a third of Americans now live in areas that are running critically short of free ICU beds and that hospitals serving 100 million people reported fewer than 15 available intensive care beds at theend of last week. The situation is worse in some places, however, particularly acrossa swathe of Midwest, South and Southwest. One in 10 people in those areas live in an area where ICU beds are completely full or 95 percent full. The disturbing hospital-level data comes as the U.S. registered more than 3,00 deaths in 24 hours for the first time. With an FDA panel meeting to consider approving Pfizer's vaccine, there is some badly needed hope on the horizon.

As usual you produce figures and graphs to attempt to support your point of view but still do not admit that the pandemic is world wide. You keep talking about excess deaths but do not admit that the main reason for the excess non-Covid deaths is the stress on health services because of Covid. Try looking at sources that don't suit you e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/12/09/us/covid-hospitals-icu-capacity.html Among other things the headline gives the lie to your assertion that the pandemic is over. ‘There’s No Place for Them to Go’: I.C.U. Beds Near Capacity Across U.S.

You seem not to understand the definition of a pandemic. If it has ended why is the number of cases, hospital admissions and deaths continuing to rise in USA, and why are so many hospitals in USA under such pressure?

No need for this post. Mind you that could be said for most of yours. You seem to be very forgetful! You did say "up to 7000".

Whatever happened to the Daily Rangers "horror knee injury"?

Let's see how that develops over the next few weeks.

Typical exaggeration. The report says "Some care home residents were wrongly subjected to decisions ruling out attempts at cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the early stages of the covid-19 pandemic, leading to potentially avoidable deaths, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has concluded." the operative word being "SOME".

This apology hit the media on 13 August 2020! Why bring it up now?

While you are right about the toxic effects of lead on the brain, mad hatters' disease was caused by inhalation of mercury vapours.

Perhaps you should look at a certificate of cause of death and the guidance for completing it. The Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death The Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death (MCCD) is completed by a registered medical practitioner. It has two parts: Part 1 This should show the immediate cause of death, and then work back in time to the disease or condition that started the process. It should therefore identify: the disease or condition that led directly to the death; any antecedent or intermediate causes of that disease or condition (this is which occurred earlier in the chain of events that led to the death); and, eventually, going back to - the underlying cause of death - this is defined (on pages 33-34 of Volume 2 of the International Standard Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) as: ‘(a) the disease or injury which initiated the chain of morbid events leading directly to death or (b) the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury’. For example: the disease or condition that led directly to death might be a compound fracture of the skull or a ruptured liver; whereas the underlying cause of death might be a gunshot wound, or being injured in a road accident. Part 2 This can be used to record other significant diseases, conditions or accidents which contributed to the occurrence of the death, but were not part of the main sequence leading to the death. However, Part 2 should not be used to list all the conditions that were present at death. For example: a person with diabetes who died of lung cancer might have died sooner than would have been the case if he/she did not have diabetes - if so, diabetes should be recorded as contributing to the death; but if the person also had osteoarthritis, it is unlikely that it would have contributed to the death, so it should not be mentioned in Part 2. In the case of the care worker crash victim the Covid diagnosis would not even be mentioned on the certificate.

Sorry. I meant dyed, not died.

Of course he didn't. Covid 19 doesn't exist. He only had 'flu!

Who died the collar and cuffs yellow?

Must be their fascist government.

GOK how these files became attached!!!!

Did you have any difficulty making up your mind?

And yet Gallow Green Road runs from the junction of Broomlands and Maxwellton Street to the roundabout at the foot of Well Street.
