Forget elective Ortho- we need to get cosmetic surgery back on so people can start to feel better about themselves again! Trust me- they will never need Dyson ventilators. It’s actually best to keep people off ventilators if possible in many cases they are finding.

It’s been circulating a lot in the Medical and lay press since it was released by a London Group. There isn’t too much info at present. It’s just an example of how unique this virus is- and can affect every age range and seemingly every part of the body.... I would say that it’s likely to be very rare, so I am disappointed it’s been so sensationalised. I was hoping my wife wasn’t going to see it (she is a consultant medic :/ ) it’s likely to be a rare immune mediated response. But as there is no treatment there is little to be done except supportive therapy and prayer.

Breaking news

Seems all the King's horses ,and all the king's men couldn't put humpty Jong Un back together again ,
Dave was saying that Trigger has it on pretty reliable information from Del that in fact 7 doctors out of the Chinese delegation of 12 doctors were in fact plastic surgery specialists , and that a double look a like King Jong Un is as we speak being created and trained for the part .
The sister will take over temporarily until the new one has learned where all the right buttons are on the Defcon switch panel

Coronavirus: Care home deaths up as hospital cases fall

Outbreaks in care homes claiming 2,000 lives a week, but hospital fatalities are going down.
www.bbc.co.uk

Said this weeks ago after speaking to my undertaker friend that in his case 50% were from nursing and care homes.

Yes, but less to deal with after this peak in business.
A % is always those who die 'early' and a % who die 'due to old age'.
He's just getting much more from the old age category.
In future years this will be less, until the category is filled up again.
So business will be less in future years than the norm before this pandemic.

Thing is we don't know. All the advice a while back was build ventilators/we don't have enough ITU beds, now it's not. Just shows that dealing with this is not an easy task and will take the best brains a while to sort out. That is why the media just annoys me as whatever the government/NHS does is just wrong as far as they are concerned.

As for cosmetic surgery.....I think most customers for that will start off with hair colouring.
