Fake News

[Mr Ripple]

Around half of coronavirus patients in intensive care are dying, a report has found.
The Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre (ICNARC) analysed the outcomes for 165 people confirmed to have the virus treated across 285 critical care units in England, Wales and Northern Ireland since February 29.
The data, from an audit of 775 people who have been or are in critical care for Covid-19, found 79 died, while 86 survived. The remaining 610 are still in intensive care.

Copied from the headlines from this news article just released by the Evening Standard.
The article clearly demonstrates false and distorted reporting.
It states nearly 50% of intensive care cases are dying from a study of 775 admissions.
It simply states that the study found 79 died, while 86 survived and the rest are still in intensive care.

the only bit from that which i know is true is my hospital and this was the stats from last weekend and the number covered 4 days friday to monday only.
"London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust, the worst affected in the country, has seen 21 fatalities since Friday among patients diagnosed with coronavirus".
we are the only hub destination for all traffic from heathrow airport which we have been for the past 30 years and that is why this area has the highest TB rate in the country as well.

If Ewan Somerville wrote that headline he should apologise and be thoroughly ashamed.

I think the Daily Mail ran it as well.

I think the Daily Mail ran it as well.

I would expect the Daily Fail to. It only ever publishes untruths.

I love watching the news crews on the telly

"We are in Madrid the centre of death etc"

so you have the news reporter aka news hound type knob plus sound man, cameraman, makeup, runner, producer all stood in the middle to tell us they are standing in a place that they not supposed to be standing in

knobheads

It's the Sky News fella in New York I laugh at, everyone around the place is masked up and he's stood beside the water like he's on holiday.

Guardian posted this...

"• This article was amended on 30 March 2020. The headline and first paragraph referred to a 50% mortality/survival rate for coronavirus patients admitted to ICU. Calculations of case fatality rates are complex while an outbreak is ongoing and, although one method can be to divide the number of deaths by the number of deaths plus recovered patients (ie to look only at those patients for whom an outcome is known), its reliability depends on the extent to which the outcome for patients still in treatment can be assumed to be similar. The ICNARC report on which the article’s calculations were based is early data in the Covid-19 outbreak. As such, a small sample of 165 patients, which could be biased towards the most and least severe cases, may not be indicative of the outcome for all those admitted to critical care. The headline, introduction and later reference to death rates have been amended accordingly."

It’s 5G fault for spreading the virus..

what utter bollox
have you seen all the 5G masts that have been set on fire up north.
this all was started by a bible basher audio report that started doing the rounds on whats app and facebook.
same audio has been posted numerous times and the latest said the author was an ex vodafone manager.

thing is these assholes dont understand is that emergency services use some of these masts for communication.
it was actually brought up on the news breif earlier and whoever he was said it was utter rubbish and a disgrace what was happening.
