The General Covid19 Thread

Jules72

zackster bottom of the travel bucket list unless you like shopping in the desert. When there are so many amazing places in the world, why the fck would anyone go to Dubai?

zackster

Jules72 yeah I get that but is there something specific that has people going there right now? It sure seems like it.

Jules72

zackster place with sun that’s relatively easy to get to for Europeans

Dan

zackster Not sure, but Jedward ain’t happy about it on twitter.

alistair Huh?

Millsy

I think he’s calling you a pooftah mate. DO HIM!

Look! We have spare beds on the outdated bar graph! Everythings fine!

Millsy

zackster dunno mate. Basically a shopping mall in the desert where you can’t get spangle dangled or off your pickle. Plus there’s no bacon or black pud on the belly buster menu. And the locals have zero bantz.

Millsy Dubai has it’s plus points, dogging in searing heat, 200 cigs for a tenner etc etc.

Yes, fuck Dubai. Looks utter shit.

Also, you’d be surrounded by absolute weapons - the type who live on an Essex council estate but spend all their money on stuff like (second-hand) Range Rovers and trips to Vegas/Dubai.

That and expats who earn way more than they should working in something like civil engineering and look forward to the Friday buffets where they get shitfaced on champagne for five hours.

Something that no one seems to mention: hospitals and ICU capacities are always under strain in January, right?

Is this year much worse compared to previous years?

zackster

C_J Is this year much worse compared to previous years?

Um, I am going to guess yes?

C_J

zackster I guess everyone would guess that. But that’s my point - who actually knows?

what are the ICU occupancy rates for now compared to previous years?

I know what the morons will say: “oh I don’t have time for these antivax-flat earthers. This virus is killing people, guy, and those damn Covid nurses are angels ok?”

before anyone says that, I’m not disputing it. I just want to know how much closer to breaching ICU capacity we are now compared to prior years.

you can’t blame people for researching shit on Facebook if there is no actual data for them out there. Why doesn’t anyone know the answer to this basic question?

zackster

This is exactly the type of situation fuck face Cuomo is trying to prevent. To my US friends, please don’t ever vote for this man.

The questions around here is how the hell Ukiah got that many doses. It’s a tiny podunk town north of Sonoma.

benson

Yes, we have I think 19 beds for our ICU. There are currently 30 patients on it. I know of a big London hospital that intubated 20 patients in 36 hours. Plus people are doing their best to hold patients on the wards and only go to ICU if they need intubating. It’s bad.

C_J

benson so as far as you’re concerned, ICU capacity has been reached and breached already. Is that correct?

Plus everything has to be done in full PPE, which is extremely tiring.
