"I like positivity and good news,but the reality of the situation isn't looking so positive.... People on ventilators are going up. Hospital admissions going up to between 100-150 per day. Infection rates going up and the testing situation is diabolical. So why are so many people still ignoring the problem? " I've not seen anything to suggest that everything is going up. X death rates are down. My local hospital has 0 cases. My local infection rate is less its gone from 14 to 8. | |||

"Infection rates are going up but death rates aren’t going up at the same rate. The theory is that mask use is cutting viral load leading to less severe symptoms in the effected which will eventually lead to herd immunity. More will die but not at the same rate." Could just be a time lag. Infection rates go up. People are ill for a while. Then they die. Really hope I'm wrong on that guess. | |||

This is true and we now have drugs to adequately lesson the severity of covid-19. If we all stopped being entitled arses and actually slowed sars-cov-2 down by wearing face coverings, social distancing and frequently wash/sanitise hands then hospital admissions would happen but the deaths would not spiral. Let the NHS work by not overwhelming them, after all thats why we went into lockdown for the first time. | |||

"Not what I want to see...but 27 deaths today. I just hope we can get on top of this...but with winter looming I very much doubt we will." One thing that I don’t understand is that the number (27) quoted is the death of someone within 28 days of a positive test result FROM WHATEVER CAUSE. Does this mean if you get hit by a car three weeks after a positive test then this is counted as a Covid death? I’m presuming so but how does this make any sort of sense?!! | |||

"Actually death rates are down and trending down. The number of deaths registered in the UK over one week has fallen below the five-year average for the first time since mid-March." I'm assuming this is for all deaths , not just covid19? | |||

No, this has been answered again and again. If this situation were to occur, you would not be counted as a Covid death. You would have your cause of death listed to be consistent with whatever injuries you sustained. If you have Covid, it would be listed on the death as something else you had at the time just as it would if you had cancer, or pneumonia, but that would NOT make your death due to Covid. It is a criminal offence for a false cause of death to be recorded. | |||

On GOV.uk site, it states that the WHO defines a covid death as: “A COVID-19 death is defined for surveillance purposes as a death resulting from a clinically compatible illness in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID-19 disease (e.g. trauma).“ Based on that definition I would presume that being hit by a car would not be classed as a covid death. | |||

Actually there's plenty of data to suggest that catching multiple viruses actually makes your immune system stronger not weaker, think of it like a work out for your immune system, you might well feel battered after a workout in the gym but in reality your stronger not weaker | |||

"To put it into perspective the test positivity rate on the 11th April was 30.2%. The current test positivity rate is 1.3%" Meaningless comparison. 11th april, 15,713 tests conducted. Most likely those tests were on those who were showing more severe symptoms. 10th September there were 211,018 tests conducted. Many of these will be school kids sent home from school with a cough and needed a negative test before they were allowed to return to school. | |||

"The reason I think, that death rates and hospital admissions are down is because of social distancing, wearing face masks and other precautions we the majority of the public currently take. This government were responsible for a lot of deaths down to their inneficiancy in dealing with this virus at the outset so that added to the UKs death toll and hospital admissions. It was always going to be the case that figures would increase again. What we need in calamity May's words is a strong and stable government. What we have is a knob head (world beating hahaha Boris) and wancock running the show so I fear we may be in for a long winter " Trouble is the admissions to hospitals, patients on ventilators and daily deaths are all going up and with our rising positive test results it's only going to get worse. | |||

We are a long way off those numbers at the moment. That said of course hospitalisations will go up they always do in the autumn/winter. | |||

"Suicides are going up, deaths from failure to test and treat existing NHS patients are going up, unemployment is going up, waiting lists are going up, mental illness is increasing but that's no problem. Average deaths in the whole UK for the last 2 weeks are about 9 a day (where CV19 is mentioned - not necessarily where it has caused death). Twice as many died per day from suicide and ten times as many from air pollution. Seems the irrational hysteria is still going up as well." I'd say it's more irrational to think that your figures, from 2018, 2019, and the last few weeks (given how you cite it elsewhere) are comparable. | |||

"Suicides are going up, deaths from failure to test and treat existing NHS patients are going up, unemployment is going up, waiting lists are going up, mental illness is increasing but that's no problem. Average deaths in the whole UK for the last 2 weeks are about 9 a day (where CV19 is mentioned - not necessarily where it has caused death). Twice as many died per day from suicide and ten times as many from air pollution. Seems the irrational hysteria is still going up as well. The latest figures for suicide is 2018 via the ONS.. What is your source for your claim that this has gone up this year please? It's been on the news (BBC ITV) this week. Particularly in the North. Not being able to be treated for existing non covid diseases or conditions is a shameful failure." Cheers.. | |||

And that would be a sound argument for people taking some personal responsibility for their choices rather than just hurling out unfounded but none the less sensational statements that it is somebody else's fault for the strain on the NHS. We won't know the impact of the gp and NHS being hard to access for a few years.... But from what I've seen, removing the access to a gp or a and e because someone has a hang nail has not caused as big a problem as we would have all anticipated. Got to say getting to see a gp is harder than the winning lottery but I'm still here for now. | |||

How many people I'd infect. If I fall/ was ill (I had a presumed case), then me reducing my in person contact with others reduces my risk to others (I think in March or April they said 70% cut meant you infected 0.3 of a person - so 10 infectious people with 70% cut infected 3 rather than 20 to 25). If I don't infect those people, they don't infect others or have to make the choice. If people don't fall ill, the strain on the NHS and other parts of our society is eased. So I do my bit and think others should do the same. There are other issues but that's a taking political action issue. | |||
