Re: Coronavirus - Elderly should avoid LARGE Crowds
376Yes the Royal Gwent has seen the worst death figures in Wales
Yes you're right. Wales has had more cases per person than England but not as many deaths. My mistake. At one time Newport had more cases per person than even the worst boroughs in London.G Guest wrote:Today (24th April) Wales reports more deaths in 24 hours than any other UK nation, but that is because 84 deaths in north Wales which happened over the past month were only reported today. This gave a total of 110 when it had been averaging 20 to 30 a day for a couple of weeks. Including the 110 reported today Wales has reported 751 out of a UK total of 19,506 deaths in hospital. With 4.6 % of the UK population, to have more deaths than the UK average, Wales would have to have more than 900 not 750. So Wales is suffering fewer deaths than average as I said above. But the deaths that have occurred have been concentrated in the south east which is why RGH has taken such a hammering. Again, as I said above.
Quite agree Norm. Whilst information is important, there seems to be an obsession with statistics in the country. Don’t people realise that the statistics that are presented by the Government on a regular basis are collated by NHS staff on a daily basis. Is that what they are employed for? We are all in this together. Our NHS staff have been superb.mad norm wrote:Bizarre isn't it?
A couple of months ago statistics were all about where we would finish in the league,goals for percentage goals per match other teams performances.
Now its percentages of how many have died, there are more cases per head in other areas
I find it a touch macabre this forum needs it's statistics fix whatever they are
Let's all grin and bear it and look forward to better times
Stay safe everbody
Yes. It is (a part of) what they are employed for.pembsexile wrote:

When the second surge hits (some time after the lockdown is withdrawn) unless we get a vaccine, it won’t matter what area/hospital you are in, we will all be in the doo-doo. London, the Midlands, Liverpool, Middlesbrough, even the Royal Gwent have all been hit hard, but it could get much worse.
Wot? No-one going to the old Sainsbury's to see if it was big enough for a stadium?JonD wrote:I quite enjoyed some of the reasons people gave to the police for having broken lockdown guidelines:
My son is a rubbish cook so I take him food every day"
"I've just been to feed the fish"
"I've been to buy nail clippers for the dog"
"I've bought a new catapult and wanted to try it out"
"I don't watch the news - what's going on?"
"I'm taking my mate into Newport to buy drugs"
"I am taking my quad bike for a walk and I promise I am not going ride it around a field"
"I thought I heard someone may be in trouble, so I came to have a look but I don't know their name or remember the person who told me it".
Every single person who dies regardless of where they live in the world is a tragedy for them, their family and their friends. The family and friends of our own Gary (Newgroundrodney) will vouch for that. The reason I mentioned the daily briefing figures from Downing Street is that they don't take into account the populations of the various UK regions. Gwent and in particular Newport have been hit as hard as anywhere in the UK, and we all need to be really careful in following the stay at home rules so that the spread of the disease doesn't get worse again.pembsexile wrote:Quite agree Norm.
