hard to believe...
surely if the science is telling them they will need a field hospital it should also be telling them there will not be a need for the millstad as a spectator venue any time soon...

Now Covid19 has a mortality rate on average of 0.075% so now we are being told they could stop Cancer treatment if to many cases of Covid occur not deaths but positive results leading to hospital admissions.
Now the question is the same as the examples do you think the death of 0.075% of people override those with cancer ?
The death rate of those with cancer is far higher Than Covid and those with treatment refused will surely face a death sentence.
Also I learned today of hospices in real trouble with a husband of my cousin who has weeks left to live has been refused a place in a hospice not because of space because they no longer have the funds to keep staff on and because of this they have had to refuse any more patients.
What is people’s opinion on this ?
Do you think that they have totally got this wrong or in my mind it is deliberately done this way ?
Please comment on this particular subject not the usual arguments but on the points I have mentioned.
For me the maths does not add up to justify lockdowns and the actions that are being taken to try and control a virus they can never cull.
And does the fact that more people are dying of suicide at the moment than of Covid justify a lockdown ?

Nukes I'll try and keep this within the spirit of the questions that you have asked. To try and put some perspective into my answers I need to say that 2 years ago my wife was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. Her doctors, who have been fantastic, told her at the time that there was no cure for her condition but because of the type of cancer they believed they could offer her a treatment, a new drug, that would help control the progression of the cancer and most importantly give her a good quality of life. Amazingly in December last year, pre covid, her condition had improved so much, her doctors decided to place her on 3 monthly review rather than monthly. Then in late February / early March she went rapidly downhill suffering from severe breathlessness. Having been seen by 4 different consultant who reviewed her x rays and various scans decided that the cancer had returned to her lungs. As a result, and the arrival of Covid, a decision was made to take her off her medication as it reduced her immune system. She was placed on a drug that's been around for years and told to go home and shield and she didn't go outside the house for 5 months, didn't see family and all of that stuff. This had a terrible affect of her general wellbeing mental health etc.
Since early March she has not seen her cancer consultant but she has spoken to him on the telephone twice and her "Treatment" has been an old drug and a blood test every 3 months. In August her consultant told her that blood results indicated tumour markers had dropped by more than half since March which he was over the moon with. However since March she gets tired easily, suffers with breathlessness so much she can no longer work. So did the cancer return or did she have covid, is the tiredness and breathlessness indicators of long covid.
She was taken off the new drug because of the risk from covid and the rules are she cannot be put back on it, the drug is very expensive, but her doctors felt she had to come off it because covid would kill her.
Having been told she had to shield for 5 months she is currently being told there is no need for her to isolate, but Drakeford claims things are so bad we need to go into a 2-3 week, YOU MUST STAY AT HOME, lockdown.
Caerphilly was the "Poster Boy" county for Drakefords "Special Measures" and after 7 weeks the infection rates are no different so now it's "Extra Special Measures" Drakefords "Fire Breaker" lockdown. Not a Circuit Breaker but a Fire Breaker because in Wales we do Fire Breakers. It's f*cking wank. If Caerphilly was in England, God Forbid, we would be in basic measures, HAND, FACE, SPACE with rule of 6 and pub closing at 10pm.
So do I think the maths to justify Drakefords "Extra Special Measures " add up. NO.
It really is time to push back on this fuckwit and I fully intend to do so.

Hi Chris
I look on that this way they spent 166 million on the mill Stad and it was never used. So they ripped it all out at another cost. Now they are building another at the Heath at not far off 40 million.
Now if all that isn’t the biggest waste of money ever then I’m gob smacked.
We have seen with many an evil disease they have refused new drugs due to cost then they waste money like this.
So if they are spending the money on a permanent structure at the heath they are now saying Covid is here to stay.
But of coarse Covid has been around for decades anyway so all this sounds bollocks to me.

Its not supposed to be a permanent structure if it is they've got a massive parking problem as it's got 400 beds ! As a point of interest it is being built next to or on the pond!! the only bit of open space at uhw.

Why couldn’t they have done it at the old Whitchurch hospital ? It could of been done then left if it was needed. Building a whole new structure what a waste of money. But that is politicians for you they ain’t got a brain cell that even works.

likewise. Germany has reacted to covid much the same as we have here....
have a read of the report about their 2017 / 18 flu epidemic... which were published before covid came around..
25k Flu deaths compared to their 9k covid..
and 370k covid infections { positive test possibly with no or very mild illness } ... compared to 9 million medical attended Flu cases in 2018
so how come 2018 no meltdown..?
no wonder people are comming up with conspiracy theories as the two reactions are so different...

Well they'll tell you because of their reaction to covid the deaths are far less than flue epidemic! Plus as I've said there is a lot of people/ companies got vestid interest in making money out of covid more you ramp up its danger the more gvmnts panic more they are willing to pay to get a solution ? I Think £7k a day is good pay day just for giving advice.....Now that's a good conspiracy theory..

Those figures show that Covid is far more dangerous, due to a massive reaction in Germany with lockdowns distancing, hand washing, masks and all the other measures 9,000 deaths, with possibly 5% of the population getting it or less. Compare that with letting the flu rip no measures at all and allowing it to spread unguarded, go through care homes, no shielding of the weak and elderly and 25,000 deaths.
By those figures, if they allowed Covid to let rip that would be 180,000 deaths, maybe more as their health service would be overrun and unable to cope with the number of people requiring ventilators.
I'm not one for total lockdowns, but I don't believe all this conspiracy and it's only like the flu bollocks, it's a serious illness and we need decent interventions to stop it spreading, mostly reducing indoor contact with poor ventilation when the virus is present in very large numbers, and possibly local short term measures as we had in Wales before yesterdays decision.
