Sorry for new thread,

I just been watching the news. Looking nasty in Italy. |  |

Japan and Korea did not really lock down but employed distancing, masks and a proper trace and test system which meant they never got to exponential growth. |  | | |

Criteria for suspected cases?
Possibly suspected without being proven via testing?
One would guess that the outcome of those tests would be imminent... |
Like Alok Sharma then?
Very mysterious, do you know what that outcome will be.......? | | | |

Not strictly true. for Morriston anyway.Suspected cases that come through A&E, which all must, test the patients and then send them as suspected to the ward while awaiting the results. There is one ward still being used for suspected cases.the ward is not being closed for covid patients, but a section of it is still going to remain open
There have been some who have tested positive recently, but not many, so don't relax yet.This is just for those that get tested, many more will have the virus but not need hospitalisation, so the virus is still out there and very infectious |
Anyone with symptoms can now get tested, there are frequently around 3000 tests a day in Wales with capacity for more.
For the last week or so there have been an average of around 50 cases in Wales, the majority in Betsi Cadwalladr health board. There are ofen no new cases recorded in Swansea.
It is still around but in drastically reduced numbers, enough for a regional relax in lockdown at least. | | | |

Yup. No reason why most local businesses of whatever description can't begin to reopen with appropriate social distancing measures. |  |

You’re second paragraph is complete and utter nonsense. Had they not prepared and been overwhelmed by cases, they’d have been accused of clueless governance and NHS mismanagement. In fairness it‘s one of the very few things they actually got right. |
Yes let's kill people with known illnesses by saving beds & facilities for patients that might get ill.
Of course that makes perfect sense. | | | |

I have no idea if Alok was admitted to hospital. He was symptomatic by the looks of it though.
I was referring to the number of patients currently admitted with suspected cases of Covid-19 in the SBUHB. On 31st May that number was 16, on June 2nd it was 43.
Small numbers, hence a large % increase.
Hopefully it is not indicative of a spike in transmission rates in this area and secondly, that these patients so not become critically ill. |  | | |

I meant Alok Sharma being symptomatic but testing negative.
That is an alarming number. If confirmed it would almost double the usual daily total in Wales before considering those not in hospital. [Post edited 6 Jun 2020 11:42]

Same sort of increases in our area, Sout West England. Our R0 has just gone above 1. |  | | |

If you are saying that infections in hospitals alone in just Swansea have increased by 27 in 2 days, then quite transparently the numbers reported by PHW are a waste of time as they are so inaccurate. | | | |

It is worrying, let's hope that it doesn't take off again. Stay safe over there.
Back to Scotia's point, there have been some surprising results from the tests for covid. A few people I know who displayed clear symptoms, often a few in fact, very surprisingly tested negative. | | | |

Numbers of patients "currently admitted with suspected cases" in SBUHB.
A colleague of mine messaged that info from a screenshot of SBUHB's official site.
They're not updating daily at the moment so it does look worse. Also, with small numbers any variation throws a large % change.
I've no idea what the ratio of suspected cases turning into positive tests are but yup, there's a small bounce in the amount of suspected cases. | | | |

When you see the official figures it could just be that in an abundance of caution anyone with any chance at all of having the virus is ‘suspected’ until the test comes back.
In which case, just people with hay fever will be suspected (it’s dreadful at the moment - worst I’ve ever had).
It’s sensible as a precaution, but those numbers look completely out of sync with positive cases. | | | |

I suspect that is exactly what it is and I suppose in a hospital every precaution has to be taken.
Just 1 confirmed case in Swansea / Neath Port Talbot yesterday. | | | |

My figures came from someone who's worked on the CV ward in Morriston. Might be some slight fluctuation since then but an increase like that would be something of a surprise given the consistently low confirmed infection rate recently. | |

The CV ward in Morriston has had more patients in today, and a few suspected too. Far too early to relax | | | |

If thousands are allowed to demonstrate in London, I see no reason why businesses shouldn't be allowed to reopen if they want. |  |

Those that chose to exercise their right to protest whilst risking infection did/do so willingly. If businesses are allowed to open whilst there is still a major risk then staff have no choice other than being sacked. It's not the same. |  |

I don't think it is too early, within reason and depending on location. Just 42 cases in Wales, 21 of those in Betsi Cadwalladr. Not only that, 3126 tests yesterday, the most so far.
I'd be a bit annoyed if I lived in Ceredigion, where it seems to have been eliminated, and can't get a haircut because of an outbreak in Wrexham. Which is the exact situation we are in at the moment. | | | |

The Police and Ambulance crews who are forced to attend these protests aren't there voluntarily.
Plenty of businesses currently shuttered are family run with no outside staff. | |

for those 42 cases, there could be multiple more who haven't been tested and don't require hospital treatment. The virus is still there and active | | | |

It is perfectly logically relevant fact, that your post omitted to address
And not the only one, if you think thousands of people deliberately congregating only has an impact on them. ‘What about’ the people who need to treat them, the people infected by them and the people killed because of that. whatever the colour of their skin. |  | | |
