Ventilator 'rationing' begins in UK: Only patients with 'reasonable certainty' of survival are put on the machines


Ventilator 'rationing' has begun in the UK as only patients with a 'reasonable certainty' of survival are to be put on the machines at a London hospital.


The UK coronavirus death toll has risen by 209 in 24 hours from 1,019 to 1,228, as infections jumped by 2,483 to 19,522.

Machines used to keep patients breathing are being restricted on medical grounds, not because of a lack of capacity, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust told the Daily Telegraph.

The trust said that 'very poorly patients with coronavirus may need to be on a ventilator for extended periods', adding that 'for some patients this would not be in their best interests'.

Astark:
Nigerians governors are stupid Sha, why are they forcing people to stay at home? How will the poor people they created survive and feed themselves?

Because they saw European and Western countries on lockdown, they think that is the only thing they are doing, Usa and canada are about sharing money for their citizens.

But Nigerians want to do lockdown that will solve nothing but create hunger in the land

sweetsell:
How much as your bigoted father donated or is it Tinubu's fault your bigoted father is forever wretched ?

Victorious1000:
The speech was not the best in the world but the message couldn't have been clearer! The president has assured the nation that all hands remain on deck to wipe out the beast called covid-19 from the country

Its not a surprise frustrated and spiteful 'nigerians' have completely ignored the messaged and resort to their default setting of abusing the president!

Big shame on you all!

clevvermind:
Medicine after death.

Victorious1000:
Nigerians are something else really! Before tonight many of you were up in arms asking why the president hasn't address the nation and now he's about to do that, more rubbish is been rolled out about 'prepared speech ' doctored tape ''staged that ' blah blah blah

There's nothing than can please a wailer! SMH

MICHEALADEX:
Wailers will say it's jubrin, he's not saying covik19, he's reading a prepaid speech or reading from london

HRHQueenPhil:

saaron:
And they're are calling his speech live broadcast? Buhari impostor is too dull and incompetent to give a live speech.
ONE NIGERIA IS DEAD!

Kachi1194:
How do you mean

ZombiePUNISHER:
Then you and your people from the other side of the country.... Are all immune to Covid 19 ..

Continue...
Nobody tells a blind man that rain is falling

Bobbyfreshhh:
Let's not mince words the president is incompetent

Bobbyfreshhh:
Your education is a waste if you can't see the handwriting on the wall....

For example most governors are issuing orders without legal backing is that suppose to be so

Imaging a governor appropriating so much powers on themselves because the so called president is ineffective

GamalNasser:
From your the low IQ you displayed on the other thread i suspected you will be a Buhari supporter and I am right ...Are you satisfied with Buharis communication response with Nigerians as regards COVID or any other thing?

GamalNasser:
Virus Buhari finally addresses the nation about Corona Virus .nothing isolation no go see inside quarantine...The Dullard does not even know the name of virus he is talking about , what is COVIK ONE NINE Viras ... 23 seconds message?

Gandollaar:
This is your fears all along

ariefadenco:
My brother man, the difference between the man you reffer to as Ineffectual Buffon and your Saint president is like the distance between heaven and earth. Take the novel EBOLA V. CORONA as a case study.

kokanepyramid:
Will he answer questions from journalists?

It should be regular press conference and not delivering prepared speeches in the face of a disaster.

Buhari can’t think on his feet we’ve seen this in his very few interviews in the past reason he avoids press conferences and debates.

Buhari is empty and brain dead! You can’t give what you don’t have!

AroOkigbo:
Mtcheew. ..finally he's learnt how to pronounce it.
BTW, where's the "light" to take listen to his address?


Lala, do the needful. Life isn't all about snakes

Miracle1991:
