"Latest data from ONS 30 mins ago https://ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulat… Just drawn this extraordinary, and shocking, graph. Why the massive rise in non-covid deaths?"
- mentonedBennn
- what about those bars going under 0 ?
Zombies?Bennn - 'a negative excess of mortality over a five year average' - ie. less people died than usual over those weeks.Nairn
- covid isn't being mentioned in a lot of deaths is it? Is it to do with home/carehome deaths etc not being included? If there is no or low testing how can theyfadein11
- be identified? I may be wrong though. But I imagine that grey bar is covid related.fadein11
- *those grey barsfadein11
- Yeah, that's the point of the graph - to estimate how many deaths in total can be attributed to C19 even if not already stated as suchNairn
- also: http://euromomo.eu/Nairn
- ..which, in turn can be used to estimate total C19 cases, despite lack of comprehensive testing.Nairn
- Ah I see, my apologies, didn't click tbh which wasn't helpful before commenting. Had seen something similar earlier.fadein11
- Can't find it now but saw reality may be double official figures. Care homes may account for around 30% of deaths.fadein11
- Could be due to people staying away from GP's/hospitals, or unable to get immediate attention from GP/hospitals, resulting in more deaths.shapesalad
- that may be part of it as well.fadein11
- the yt london doctor said, uk only counts death in hospitals as covid-19 deaths. he didn't know why. death at home or care homes are not counted as covid deathsuan

- Nice site. I wonder if the WHO is being unfairly criticized here? Considering that almost no countries recognize Taiwan.yuekit
- nothing spectacular about the websitedbloc
- WHO is not being unfairly criticised. Did you see how they mishandled SARs and Ebola?shapesalad
- I'm talking about the fact that they don't acknowledge Taiwan as a country. But neither does the UK or USA.yuekit
- It's an absurd situation since Taiwan obviously is independent. But if its gonna change it will start with big countries, not some bureaucrats at the WHO.yuekit

In a time of isolation, we choose solidarity
You are not alone. Taiwan is with you.
We know what you are going through. We know how hard it is.
Taiwan, having been devastated by the SARS epidemic in 2003, knows.
Taiwan, having been isolated from the World Health Organization, knows.That is why we are contributing to international efforts by sharing how we contained the outbreak, kept our schools and businesses open, and ensured masks for all.
In the past weeks, Taiwan has provided more than 16 million medical masks to support medical workers around the world and has worked together with the US and the EU on the most advanced rapid tests and vaccines for COVID-19.
Who can isolate Taiwan? No one.
Because we are here to help.

- keeping businesses open ... hmmmmonospaced
- I have a Taiwanese colleague who was super early in getting masks, sanitizer, and general prep. Well before US lifted a finger. They were on top of that shit.mandomafioso
- They were already used to wearing masks in public as normal life in some areas too.monospaced

A Taiwanese businessman who was put into a negative pressure isolation ward in January ,after breaching quarantine on his return from Wuhan, China, then testing positive for COVID-19, was finally released today, Taiwan’s Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) confirmed.
The man, who is not identified in media reports, but described as in his fifties, returned to Taiwan from Wuhan in January. However, instead of self-quarantining at home as required by anti-epidemic regulations, he went out to nightclubs in Kaohsiung City.
A subsequent investigation found that he had a fever of 37.3°C and received treatment at a hospital while in Wuhan on January 20, before returning to Taiwan on January 21. The man had concealed his travel history and hospital visit.
On January 23, the man was put into a negative pressure isolation unit in a hospital, and the next day, January 24, returned a positive test result for COVID-19.
During his hospitalization the businessman was not in any way sick, according to ET Today, however, subsequent tests showed sometimes negative results, and sometimes positive.
Release from the isolation ward requires three negative tests in a row, but until yesterday, April 12, no three tests in a row returned negative results.
On April 9, a member of the CECC specialist consultative group described the man’s case as the country’s most stubborn. The patient would return two negative tests in a row, then a positive. A few days later there would be another negative, then in recent days several weak positives in a row. It began to have an affect on the patient’s mental state, according to an article in Health and Hope.
According to a report in CTS, also April 9, the man had already been tested more than 20 times. Chairman of the The Infectious Diseases Society of Taiwan, Huang Li-min ( 黃立民 ), was quoted in the report as saying that German scientists believed these kind of people were not contagious. But according to Dr Huang, if there is a positive reaction for the RNA, there could be the possibility of infection. “The highest standards should be used for epidemic prevention. The Taiwanese businessman must temporarily be isolated from the outside world, and cannot be discharged for safety reasons,” Dr Huang said.
After finally reaching the standard of three consequent negative tests, concluding on April 12, the businessman was released today, April 13.
Health Minister and CECC head Chen Shih-chung (陳時中) confirmed at a regular press conference today that the man had been discharged after an 81 day stay in isolation, and that he had been the longest hospitalized case in the country.
Despite the sometimes positive, sometimes negative test results on one patient over a nearly three-month period, nobody has raised questions about the veracity or accuracy of the PCR-based reagent tests used to determine if someone is infected with the novel coronavirus.
TLDR: Man had the virus, no symptoms, tested multiple times, sometimes negative, sometimes positive during a 81 day hospital stay. Only released after 3 negative results in a row.
Conclusion: The virus can linger and show no obvious symptoms for 81 days... if a person isn't aware of this and confined to a negative pressure room, the person could be spreading the virus to many people over an 80+ day period!!!
- Well, either we have a tricky virus or unreliable tests or both.shapesalad

This is an interesting take on how office buildings and offices will be shaped after the pandemic is over and people go back to work.
https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/…
This is the end of the office as we know it.
The pandemic already pushed millions to work from home. Many of them will likely go back to a very different office.
- Hopefully this destroys the concept of the open office with all the power of a hundred atomic bombs, figuratively speaking.mg33
- It does make me wonder... could employers pay people MORE if they weren't paying for office leases?mg33
- Would home design change to accomodate dedicated home office spaces? I'm fascinated by both of these questions.mg33
- My office moved to a WeWork space last June while waiting for a new space to be built out (supposed to move in May). WeWork were alreadymg33
- suffering financially and I imagine this is going to have serious impacts on them.mg33
- Hopefully more people will work from home but I have the feeling most companies won’t bother changing anything.Chimp
- we had already been talking about switching to WFH. hoping this is it and i can convert my work office in to a green screen studio.kingsteven
