My uncle came out of hospital today and it was no more busier in there than usual.

I think it depends on the area of the country and which hospital.

"I think it depends on the area of the country and which hospital."

A hospital in the second most infected area in the UK according to statistics the last time I checked.

"I think it depends on the area of the country and which hospital."

Also, that's the purpose of lockdown, to keep hospital admissions at a manageable level to cope.

All elective surgery is cancelled. Less people out n about = less accidents traffic/industrial/piss-heads etc and fuckwits are now not going to A&E for a day out!

It's good to hear, as it may mean that death rates in the next few weeks could fall. Did all wards get surveyed by him, for bed use? What's the hospitals position in that area, as others may be first choice for this etc.

"..and fuckwits are now not going to A&E for a day out!"

I accompanied a relative to A&E just at the start of the virus. It was extremely busy, and we had to wait 6 hours to be seen. A few of our fellow attendees over that time included:

A young transexual - "Hailey" - who spent most of the time shouting, swearing and ocassionally screaming. Didn't seem too much physically wrong with him, and was certainly well enough to elbow a young ambulancewoman hard in the chest as she tried to calm him down.

"Louise", clearly a regular, a middle-aged woman accompanied by a bored-looking African carer, who again spent most of her time screaming and at one time rolled on the floor, despite a stressed out doctor pleading with her that "Louise, please, we haven't got time for this now, there are people here who are very ill".

A young woman of 19, who spoke in a very loud voice and told her two [again, bored-looking African] accompanying carers that she'd been in four mental hospitals in the past five years. Again, didn't appear to be an accident or an emergency, proved by the fact that after about four hours of playing on her smart phone and constantly asking her carers to take her outside for cigarettes, she declared herself bored and left, accompanied by the two carers (a woman to take her to the toilet, and a man, i guess, in case she kicked off.)

Three people, in one short visit, all who seemingly had nothing urgently wrong with them, all of whom had to wait over the four hour target, and so can be added to the numbers of those supposedly "failed" by A&E waiting times.

Our local A and E has been quieter for days now. (I know several that work there).

100 patients a day is now down to 20-30.

"I think it depends on the area of the country and which hospital."

I Agree

I was out walking dog yesterday and passed by a lady I chat to when walking dog when she is in her garden, she is a District Nurse who goes around homes of elderly and disabled changing dressings etc.

She said she was in hospital on Friday to pick up supplies, dressings etc and she said the hospital was the quietest she had ever saw it (Perth Hospital PRI).

She said they had closed many of the wards as they were sitting empty and the nurses that attend those wards had been temporarily redeployed to other areas.

She said nurses she had spoken to said accident & emergency is the quietest they have seen it

I was worried about going into hospital at this time, but in my area its probably the best time to visit as its like a ghost town

Less people working and less people driving so less accidents

It just goes to show how much people waste the time and resources of the NHS in normal times. It's obvious that a large proportion of visits to A&E are timewasters with nothing wrong with them. These same timewasters are now scared to death of actually catching something that could kill them and are staying well clear of A&E........as you said " fuckwits are now not going to A&E for a day out!"

Hospitals are big old places. Not every bed had been converted to look after C19 patients and people still get ill with “normal stuff”. Encouraging to hear your uncle has been discharged though. Strained and for some quite anxiety inducing places at the moment.

I was just going to ask wtf does someones gender or the ethnicity of any accompanying carers have to do with anything??

My uncle didn’t come out of hospital on Friday he passed away very suddenly and I took the call. Despite how busy the ward was when I went to see him and collect his belongings the nurses and doctor could not do enough to help me and my Mum at such a sad time. As we walked through the hospital it was extremely quiet though. Huge respect and thanks to the NHS

No elective or non Urgent procedures/operations, vast majority of out patient appointments cancelled, staff and equipment from PRI has been redeployed to Ninewells. Although PRI has a covid19 assessment bay, no covid19 patients are being admitted to PRI they are all going to Ninewells. The situation there is very different.
