Talk Evidence covid-19 update - Remdesivir, care homes, and death data

And if we don't come out of this thinking about these issues and really think strategically about value-based healthcare,

Talk Evidence

evidence-based healthcare, we'll end up with more of the same, which is the bit that's making me worried about where we're at and where we're going to go in the future.

Well, one of the most important aspects about deaf data is what we're really interested in is understanding when the peak occurs.

And what you're looking for is some bits of data that are reported in the same way every day.

Talk Evidence
Talk Evidence covid-19 update - Remdesivir, care homes, and death data

So the most important data we found is that's useful is NHS England's reporting of hospital death data on the day that it occurred.

The peak occurring around about the 8th of April with nearly 800 deaths on that day.

Talk Evidence covid-19 update - Remdesivir, care homes, and death data

Now, you will get deaths ongoing at that rate for some time as people come through because they all won't die in 21 days.

There'll be some seriously unwell people who will be left in hospital.
