even the biggest mental health hospitals/facilities are not set up in a way which can cope with this, not sure what you can do really beyond use it as another argument against institutionalising people

Just checking the statistics on the NRScotland website now (as ONS only covers England and Wales).
For w/c Mar 30:Typical number of deaths for corresponding week, 2013-19: 1000-1100For 2020: 1741Where Covid-19 mentioned on cert: 282
So, in line with England and Wales, direct/indirect effect of C-19 on death statistics is 2-2.5x greater than the daily headline number we're seeing coming out of the hospital figures.

NZ started testing people way before it registered its first case and was quarantining new arrivals very early on as well, whereas the UK was still not conducting proper health or temperature checks on new arrivals even when planes stopped flying. Yeah it's a small and remote country and isn't exactly renowned for its population density but it still appears to have been highly successful.

Hancock says he is proud of the fact that people support carers and NHS staff. It is not clap for the NHS. It is clap for our carers, he says.He says he wants to introduce a single brand for social care. He wants to ensure that carers get the same sort of priority treatment that NHS staff do in some settings.He says we all know good examples of social care.The job isn’t easy, he says.But he says he knows what a fulfilling profession it is.
