As I've been posting UK COVID-19 news from time to time, I thought it would make sense to just have it in one thread. It's not looking good for NHS England...Covid: Ministers meet amid rising infection rates in England quote: Average NHS bed occupancy in England has reached almost 89% for the week ending 13 December, with 59 out of 126 NHS trusts reporting bed occupancy of higher than 90% - which is above the recommended safe level.The R number is estimated to be between 1.1 and 1.2, up from between 0.9 and 1 last week.

Mexico , France and Germany are seeing similar surges to UK. Meanwhile, more evidence for High Dose Vitamin C, should be the demand/right of every patient in ICU on the Ventilator has come from Dr Digambar Naik, a respected Cardiologist of Goa, India.Dr Digambar Naik's life was saved only from High Dose Vitamin C, he has bravely posted his testimonial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zaw7-dGE6Y&featur e=share&fbclid=IwAR3xzfPgW3uej8mAhz9OXM-s6B-Yd4N9n-JtEyiUpf4k1OrphMbJ7Oa__VY Dr Naik is sharing every symptom and recovery news on his FB Page. His honest logging is a slap on the face of Virus Deniers and CHARLATANS who call Covid19 just as simple as a Flu. These Charlatans are no less than accomplices to murder for mocking a deadly Virus and sending millions to death/organ dysfunction. COVID19 is a friggin Bio-Weapon which afflicts 100% of Victims in different ways. It kills 1-2% directly. It enables slow organ failure over medium term in 8-10%. It causes depression in 15-20% and for the jolly Asymptomatic Deniers, it lays in wait like how Chicken Pox Virus comes back as Shingles. It will attack the overconfident the moment it gets a chance, like during heavy alcohol consumption, or increased obesity/diabetes even a decade from now. Vitamin C is the Cure. The Virus has to be totally eliminate by our White Blood Cells. I do not think Big Pharma Vaccines will do anything for us except cause more harm. Vitamin C. That's the Key. ------------------ Astrology Articles New Services and short readings IP: Logged |

Speaking of Brits, watched this video from Russel Brand recently. Before I share it, back in the day, I used to think of Brand as bit of a attention wh@re "wanker", but over time have gradually changed my mind and find him deeper and more perceptive than I previously thought. And, have gotten the sense that he is a fellow "star child" so called. http://youtu.be/jnOIC9qSz4U IP: Logged |

They seem to think that it is a new strain of the virus which is driving transmission up again. Scotland just moved down to tier 3, but right after Christmas are going back into tier 4 to try mitigate the effects of Christmas household mixing (posting the article in a minute). Any vaccine which hasn't completed trials for a long enough period is concerning. My grandparents have decided to wait for the Oxford one rather than take the Pfizer one, but if the follow-up isn't long enough, it's still risky. I agree with you about how important vitamin C is, vitamin D3 is also finally recognised as essential in certain areas of the world. I was deficient a few years ago and should take it daily for life, but according to my GP this applies to much of the world. ------------------ Face a situation fearlessly, and there is no situation to face ~ Florence Scovel Shinn ~ IP: Logged |

Coronavirus Scotland: Scottish mainland to move to Level 4 restrictions from 26 December quote: Nicola Sturgeon has said that all of the Scottish mainland will move to level four restrictions from 26 December.Level four, the highest of Scotland's five levels, stops households mixing, shuts pubs and restaurants and closes non-essential retail. Level four will last for at least three weeks and will set to be reviewed before being relaxed. Changes to school return dates Christmas holidays for most Scottish pupils have been extended to January 11 and the majority will begin the new term studying from home, Nicola Sturgeon has announced.

I do not like the way Panic is being created in UK. They are creating a panic as if the mutated Strain is a Zombie Virus from a movie like World War Z. When people panic and rush for exit, they spread the Virus rapidly, making surges a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is mischievous IMHO. IP: Logged |

They haven't really done much about it that I can see. They think it has come from South Africa, so those who have been there have to quarantine on their return. I think the main concern is whether the vaccines will work with this strain. China has apparently identified over 200 types of coronaviruses. But yeah, the papers have a lot to answer for, haven't they always though? The war on Covid is the new 'war on terror'... TBH, people are already fed-up over here, fatigued with the restrictions and isolation, but still, at least in my circles, following the guidance. ------------------ Face a situation fearlessly, and there is no situation to face ~ Florence Scovel Shinn ~ IP: Logged |

Covid-19: Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine approved for use in UK quote: The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine has been approved for use in the UK, with the first doses due to be given on Monday amid rising coronavirus cases.The UK has ordered 100 million doses - enough to vaccinate 50 million people. This would cover the entire population when combined with the full order of the Pfizer-BioNTech jab, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said. It comes as millions more people in England are expected to be the toughest tier four restrictions. Vaccination centres will now start inviting patients to come and get the jab from next week. Priority groups for immunisation have already been identified, starting with care home residents, the over-80s, and health and care workers.

Now the government want to use a ‘mix and match’ strategy with the multiple vaccines, for first and second doses!!They must be tripping. There is absolutely no need; only if there are people who are going to miss their second doses I see the logic. IP: Logged |

Coronavirus: 'How long can we keep going like this? About a week' quote: I'm standing in what should be an operating theatre - but instead it's been converted into an intensive care unit for Covid-19 patients on ventilators.This is the first time I have seen it full of patients like this. Normally this theatre would be busy with major cancer surgery, but that's been transferred to another building. A children's recovery area, still decorated with colourful stickers of cartoons, is once again filled with desperately sick adults. Every day, more wards are being transformed into ICU - ready for the next influx of patients.

Covid-19: 'Major incident' declared by London Mayor Sadiq Khan quote: The spread of Covid in London is "out of control" according to Sadiq Khan, who has declared a "major incident".The coronavirus infection rate in London has exceeded 1,000 per 100,000 people, based on the latest figures from Public Health England. However, the Office for National Statistics recently estimated as many as 1 in 30 Londoners has coronavirus. Mr Khan told BBC political reporter Karl Mercer that the figure is as high as 1 in 20 in some parts of London. Major incidents have previously been called for the Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017 and the terror attacks at Westminster Bridge and London Bridge.

There are now 4 Intensive care patients being monitored by each available nurse ... and patient numbers are rising, whilst the number of available (non-infected) nurses is declining.This war will be yet another "close-run-thing" for the UK. ... And, this time, we may lose. However, the good news is that anti-inflammatory meds are reducing the death rate a little - and significantly speeding up the recovery rate of infected patients.

Yes, it is worrying. We are pretty much back to where we were during the first lockdown. That's interesting about anti-inflammatories. I remember at the start of the pandemic it was being said that it was risky to use them when infected with COVID-19 ------------------ Face a situation fearlessly, and there is no situation to face ~ Florence Scovel Shinn ~ IP: Logged |

Yeah yeah And you all just ignore the fact that CDC records do not show a rise of 350000 deaths.the number of deaths in 2020 was on par with the last 10 years.. I'm sure there are new deaths.this hoax was started by a bioweapon which they can still use to increase the cases of interstitial pulmonary fungal infection.and you all to ignore the fact that the CDC could not infect human cells with the corona virus nor have they even been able to isolate it. This hoax is exactly like 911...no scientific facts at all.and it is doing the same thing..stripping us of all constitutional rightsIP: Logged |

Covid in Scotland: Tesco staff 'devastated' at deaths of two colleagues quote: Staff at a Tesco superstore are mourning two colleagues who died after contracting Covid-19.The supermarket chain confirmed the deaths of two employees at its Greenock branch in Inverclyde. A spokesperson said: "Our thoughts are with their families and we are supporting our store colleagues at this difficult time." The Daily Record reported the man and a woman died within days of one another, leaving colleagues "devastated". A number of staff are also believed to be self-isolating after an outbreak at the nearby Port Glasgow Tesco. Inverclyde had lower levels of Covid-19 than neighbouring council areas at the start of December but numbers have risen rapidly in recent weeks. The area has seen cases leap to more than 550 cases per 100,000 population, the highest rate in Scotland.

Covid: Surgery suspended as Dumfries and Galloway cases surge quote: A "massive surge" of Covid cases in Dumfries and Galloway has prompted the suspension of some surgery at the region's hospitals.Health officials said they had made the "very difficult decision" to halt some elective operations. The number of Covid cases has risen sharply in the region with many of them the new, more transmissible strain. NHS Dumfries and Galloway said it was facing a challenge "unlike anything we have confronted to date". The health board said the number of cases had multiplied more than six times in a single week with nearly 90% of them a new, more highly transmissible strain - compared with a national average of about 54%.
