Amazing, if people had died from a different condition then we might have a different reaction. Try replacing it with "6 people in cancer ward killed by crazed gunman" and I suppose it would get more headlines again.

Sheesh.

I don't know. I was too devastated by the loss of my dad to think to ask. What I do know is that pnemonia usually develops from a chest infection, which usually develops from exposure to the cold or flu virus.
Sadly it's very common for that to happen to people when they're very ill.
There's something like 2.5k deaths in Scotland with a positive covid test so far. Do you think that's a lot? From a population of about 5m? In six months?
It's now at the point where a lot of people will probably do anything to 'make this go away'. Which was obviously the objective from the start.

Sounds like there have some largely effective public health measures to keep the number of deaths down.

How many people on his ward also caught it?

How many people ultimately die from Pneumonia in the UK?

The answer may surprise you - Pneumonia statistics | British Lung Foundation

My dad had cancer and we lost him two years ago. When he died he had also caught pnemonia and ultimately the reason he died is because his heart stopped. Probably wouldn't have happened had he not been so ill with cancer.

So try changing that headline to say six cancer patients caught pnemonia and died. Not quite as 'shocking' and unlikely to put the fear of God into people.

There's some olympic level gaslighting going on & most people don't realise what's happening until it's too late. I guarantee it'll all come out at some point.

Patients die at Edinburgh’s Western General Hospital as Covid outbreak hits cancer ward - Daily Record

Several Scots cancer patients have died following an outbreak of COVID-19 in a Scots hospital.

Six patients within an oncology ward in Edinburgh’s Western General Hospital have been confirmed with the virus and a “very small number” of other patients have died.

Anyways, it's all fine for you. The school holidays start in this house today for 2 weeks and the pubs are now shut.

Don't have a clue what we are all going to do now.

Thanks for the warning....

So you admit you were completely wrong with your claim of 28, now accepting that it's 31.

• 377 people were in hospital yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19; of these 31 were in intensive care
• in the week ending 7 October there were 12 patients who have ever been confirmed COVID-19 admitted to intensive care

31 recent +12 longer = 43

*unscrews bottle top"

[WTFH]

I don't know if you have some kind of learning issues, that link clearly says 31 in ICU ( for yesterday ).

43 (not 28) ICU beds in Scotland are currently taken up with COVD cases. (source: Coronavirus (COVID-19): daily data for Scotland - gov.scot )

I don't know if you have some kind of learning issues, that link clearly says 31 in ICU ( for yesterday ).

It will be changed shortly to todays updated number of 33.

[WTFH]

Anyway, enough of my tedious lies and mistakes, I've been called out and proved wrong again, so I'll run off and try to change the subject

FTFY

[minestrone]

Anyway, enough of this tedium, i'm off to the pub for a 7 hour sesh.

Then it's all back to mine, groups of 2, every 90 seconds, keeping an eye out for the goons on the watchtower.
