Absolutely, that’s what happened in Spain and Italy and it’s horrific.
Are the UK already sending out DNR’s or is that online bullshit?

As a Doctor who is having multiple such conversations a day with patients and relatives I can tell you that it is one of the hardest parts of my job . Resuscitation is not a nice thing though and if something happened to me then I would probably not want to be resuscitated myself
Yep, warfarin for life
Thanks for that post.
Unfortunately, I don't actually have elderly relatives to be concerned about but feel very strongly about the subject.To be honest I have never been in Rinteln, but Minden, Bad Oeynhausen, Bückeburg, Espelkamp yes
Yep, no ibuprofen then. It also thins the blood.
I remember Kingsley Barracks Minden
Ok I’ve ignored all news for the weekend.
More positive news only please. I’ve heard Italy are looking past peak?

I was on Brilique a blood thinner, even a slight bang anywhere on the body produced a bruise. Wishing you all the Best through this mad time.
It's no wonder the cases are so much higher - double is crazy, but probably "normal" though.
The lockdown happened so much later in the UK - it's negligent on the part of the govt.
That Cheltenham took place (250k), the Liverpool Atletico took place (3k travelled from Europe's 2nd hotspot), Rangers vs Leverkusen, etc, in the week where it was going mad in Europe........it beggars belief.
Ah ok, thanks
You know what would really be uplifting to the nation?
She could cause rapturous laughter and applause throughout the land, if only she went with
"During this difficult time of emergency and challenge, it has never been more important for one to consider the great sacrifice made by those on the front lines of confronting this terrible affliction, therefore I offer only one piece of advice to you my subjects; stay the feck at home twats"
Leo Varadkar has re-registered with the Medical Council for a GP/Caretaker Taoiseach combo role.
He'll be taking phone consults one day a week apparently.

If the pandemic were renamed the Covid 19 Plague, you can bet that a hell of a lot more people would stay at home.
That’s where the old boy was.
A classy move I think. Coming off as much better than a lot of world leaders. I'm no big supporter usually, but it's good to see it.
It's a triage situation, really. It's like doctors on a battlefield - the worst casualties are left in favour of the ones with the best chance of survival, because resources have to be allocated where they can do the most good.
Mixed (though I suppose ultimately positive) thoughts on that.
On the one hand, my immediate reaction is to recoil from such a PR friendly move from an extremely PR-conscious politician.
On the other hand, we've seen a SF senator rightly praised for re-registering so it would be rather unfair not to give due credit to Varadkar for doing similar. Plus in a situation where managing the collective mood of the country is important, there's very real value in seeing the leader of the country "play his part".
A report published in British Medical Journal suggests as many as 78% of all people infected by the Covid-19 virus show no symptoms.

Norway sends 20-25 doctors, nurses and staff to help out in Italy. Not much, but at least something is offered to help.
what the hell was the point of that message from the queen
People are confusing R0 with R.
Will lift morale, especially for the older generation struggling to cope.
What was wrong with it? I thought it was wise and profound.
One can dislike the monarchy and still agree with the Queen on what she just said.
I’m going through the same process. Yesterday I had to nominate a “clinical referee” i.e. someone I worked with/for the last time I actually touched a patient. Which will involve trying to get in touch with people I haven’t seen for 20 years. At the end of this, I would very much like a half session a week doing telephone triage like our glorious leader but suspect I’ll be fecked off to the arse end of nowhere to dig out ingrown toenails, or burn warts off. I’m not bitter though. Oh no.
Actually, I‘m really not. Good on him.
I'm no Royalist but Queenie is blooming lovely.
To encourage I guess. Thanks to NHS workers, and to understand that it will pass and things will return to normal.
Did you delete your original post?
I was trying to quote the "what's the point" and the "great message" from 2 different posters, and the second one had gone
Personally I think its great.
Either way, it's a fantastic way to enhance his empathy for what's going on, fortify his resolve and inspire his future decision making.
Pretty solid from the queen I thought. Not just platitudes but quite profound at times. Many will have found that encouraging.
Older generation, fair.
What was wise and profound about it?
Yeah I guess

When Rooney is destroying senior politicians ffs.
The comments I see below tweets like this one make me think the UK is properly fecked. Completely different attitude here in Ireland, where you’re much more likely to see people go to the opposite extreme. What the feck is wrong with you people? It’s almost as though the whole Brexit thing has made a lot of you wilfully contrary. It’s actually quite depressing. The UK used to be a bastion of sanity and common sense. Not any more.
She's on a hiding to nothing. If she doesn't speak it'll be what the hell is the Quenn doing, if she does then half will be pissed off and half will be jingoistic.
Best to just let it go and worry about the real issues here.
Well, it's very rare that she speaks to the nation. When she does, it's an occasion and people recognise that things are serious. It's not so much what she says, the content is less important than the fact that she's said it.
For the love of god!
Good from him, but the reporting of Hancock suggesting that footballers especially should do the right thing is wide of the mark. I don't need to google for people, but he was literally ASKED about footballers, and his reply was that they, as should ALL members of society do the right thing if they can. It was not a call out to footballers specifically, he was just responding to a question that was loaded towards them and he included them in his response.
It's as pointless as clap for carers or rainbows drawn by children.
Take from that what you will.
