I'd be interested to know hospital emissions and discharges and capacity at the Royal Derby. is that advertised anywhere? BBC says 343 confirmed cases in Derby. Not sure if this is active cases or cases that have been closed too. Spoke to a friend who works at the Royal Hospital early last week and it didnt sound too bad, not sure if that has changed since the numbers have increased.

I'm pretty sure they are the total tested as positive so far and won't include people who have been discharged. I assume the 696 for Derbyshire will include Burton, Chesterfield and any places in the Peaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Leading on from @Angry Ram's recent post I too now find myself with a conundrum. I have an annoying amount of beer left in the fridge, 5 bottles to be precise. This morning I decided I'd have a night off and now I realise that this was a terrible, terrible mistake. I'm not going to get a delivery now so my question is, is it ok to nip to the shop, putting my family's and many other people's health at risk, just to buy beer? Yay or nay?

It did say Burton but looking at Gov, it doesn't fall under Derbyshire. I assumed it would as the same trust runs both hospitals. I'm surprised that Derbyshire has a population three times as big as Derby but will depend where you live. I'm in Aston on Trent, so South Derbyshire but would obviously use the Royal hospital.

Although she did say that the only person's health I'd be damaging by making that decision would me mine, because she'd kick my teeth in before I got out the door.

They have it again, some are re-developing symptoms. This apparently means the virus is staying in the system longer and hiding away, or they are actually re-infected. This is very concerning. Better tell Hancock to send those 17.5m tests back if this is the case. This is the possible nightmare scenario that prevents any sort of herd immunity being reliably developed.

'Herd immunity' has only ever been a catchy slogan, and is meaningless in the short term because it relies on something like 75% of the population - say 50 million people - catching the virus in a very limited timeframe.

CO OP is open. They have put loads of stickers on the floor so you can keep a good distance. The Spar has arrows around the shop so you can avoid people. I think buying beer is an essential.

I'm fine with people applying common sense across the board, hence why I wont jump on the media bandwagon and slate people for sitting in a park nowhere near other people. Perhaps you could kill 2 birds with 1 stone and do your weekly shop whilst getting your beers to save another trip to the supermarket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% on this but would have thought it would be reported on at a patient level so would go against their registered address, so although Burton based patients would be seen at a combined Derby and Burton Hospital Trust, they would be recorded as Staffordshire patients (if they live in Staffs).

Or if they were drunk and obnoxious, that's what I would see them as. Vapers do sometimes produce huge mushroom clouds of sickly 'smoke' that you very much feel like you are directly inhaling from them and they seem totally oblivious and that it is perfectly reasonable behaviour. Smokers will now keep their distance generally, will be apologetic and see it as 'anti social' in some way. I have been stood a few times with a friend eg on a train platform, near someone vaping and we have both kinda looked at each other and moved away...the smell is very strong and when its blown out and then you feel like you are very much tasting it, I personally don't like it. You reacted quite angrily to the original post ..so would I say they are just like drunk drivers? or even making my life a misery? No. But it's something I find a little unpleasant though. Fair enough but there s every bit as much chance that a drunk that spills his drink on you is going to want to fight you rather than apologise , yes I do get a bit miffed and react when people jump on others without thought to the fact what they do themselves might be unpleasant to others too ,,, i would be very happy to be banned from vaping in public in exchange for drinking in public to be banned too but in the main although I find being around drinking unpleasant I suck it up and don’t moan about cause you kind of have to give and take a bit in life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
