Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

A correspondent who commutes to work in London sent me this…

Sorry just gone through a major upgrade/update of my computers and software and have been offline for most of the day…normal service will resume shortly…

Below is the agenda (confidential only items to be discused) for next week’s ‘Zoom’ meeting of Whittlesey Town Council.

There will be a ‘public section’ which members can speak about any subject
(15 minutes in total), then they will have to leave the (virtual) meeting.

If any member of the public wishes to take part – they will have to register with the town clerk beforehand, by contacting clerk@whittleseytowncouncil.gov.uk

Today we have published analysis of deaths involving COVID-19 in care homes, as well as all deaths in March and April that had COVID-19 as the underlying cause of death. We have also looked at the characteristics of those classed as key workers. Some of the main points include:

• More than a quarter (27.3%) of deaths of care home residents in England and Wales between 2 March and 1 May 2020 involved COVID-19
• The majority (72.2%) of these deaths took place within care homes, but 27.5% occurred in hospital
• Between 1 March and 30 April 2020, 95.0% of deaths involving COVID-19 had the virus assigned as the underlying cause of death
• In 90.4% of cases, the person who died from COVID-19 had at least one pre-existing condition, with the most common main pre-existing condition being dementia and Alzheimer disease
• Almost one-third of the workforce are considered key workers (10.6 million people), with women more likely than men to work in such occupations 
• An estimated 15% of key workers had a health condition which leaves them at moderate risk from COVID-19
