The number of coronaviruses in Britain increases as the country suffers more deaths



[ad_1]

The number of daily coronavirus deaths in Britain rose 5 percent to 888 today on the fourth worst day of the pandemic so far, dazzling hopes that the country’s fatality curve is flattening after days of uncertainty.

The total death toll is now 15,464, but thousands more are feared due to a delay in recording deaths in hospitals and the inability to include those in nursing homes. Authorities said 357,023 people have been screened for infection from a total of 460,437 tests performed. Some 114,217 of these people have tested positive.

The Department of Health and Social Assistance said the total number of cases increased by 5,526 the day before, and some 21,389 tests were carried out yesterday. Today’s daily death toll is the worst in a week since 917 on April 11, and the fourth-worst number so far, after 980 on April 10, 938 on April 8, and the figure on April 11.

But fewer than 900 deaths have now been reported in UK hospitals for seven days in a row, giving hope that the darkest days of the crisis may be behind the country. Today’s highest number comes after a total of 841 deaths were reported by officials yesterday, which was a drop in the previous day’s total of 861.

Britain is now one of the five countries in the world with more than 15,000 deaths from the pandemic, along with the United States, Italy, Spain and France. The UK has been blocked since March 23 and will be until at least May 7.

Just over a week ago, April 10 was the deadliest day of the outbreak in Britain with 980 deaths, the worst day for any European country that only recorded hospital deaths, surpassing the maximum of 950 in the former continent of Spain on April 3.

The number of deaths worldwide is now 155,076, with 2,257,216 cases registered in 193 countries and territories since the outbreak began in China last December. Of these cases, at least 497,600 are now considered recovered.

The grim figures were released this afternoon as:

  • NHS workers were furious at the lack of personal protective equipment in hospitals after being told to reuse it and ‘wear aprons’ to treat patients;
  • The World Health Organization said that antibody tests may not help ease blocking measures because they do not guarantee immunity;
  • A key government adviser said trials for a vaccine against the disease could be completed in mid-August;
  • Tributes were paid to a detective agent and a police intelligence agent in different forces who died after contracting coronavirus;
  • The cost of a weekly store was revealed to have increased as much as £ 7, as supermarkets cut promotions to curb panic buying in the early phase of the pandemic;
  • WWII veteran’s charity single Captain Tom Moore went straight to the top of the UK iTunes chart as the hero’s fundraising total exceeded a staggering £ 23 million.

Death tolls published by public health agencies in UK regions show this afternoon that England has had 784 deaths, Scotland 56, Wales 28 and Northern Ireland 17. England’s death toll now stands at 13,918, followed by Scotland in 893, Wales with 532 and Northern Ireland in 193.

Of the 784 new deaths in England announced today, NHS England said 150 occurred yesterday, 320 on Thursday and 101 on Wednesday. Today’s latest figures also show that 187 of the deaths occurred between April 1 and April 14, and the remaining 26 deaths occurred in March.

In England, all the last patients who died were between 26 and 100 years old. Of these, 38 between 44 and 96 had no known underlying health conditions.

The ten highest daily tolls of daily deaths in the UK so far

  1. 980 – April 10
  2. 938 – April 8
  3. 917 – April 11
  4. 888 – April 18 (TODAY)
  5. 881 – April 9
  6. 861 – April 16
  7. 841 – April 17
  8. 786 – April 7
  9. 778 – April 14
  10. 761 – April 15

NHS England publishes daily updated figures showing the dates of each coronavirus-related death in hospitals in England, often including previously uncounted deaths that occurred several days or even weeks ago.

This is due to the time it takes for deaths to be confirmed as positive for Covid-19, for post-mortem exams to be processed, and for validation of test data.

Figures released on Saturday by NHS England show that April 8 currently has the highest total for most single-day hospital deaths in England, 799, although this could change in future updates.

It comes after the World Health Organization said that antibody tests may not help ease blocking measures because they don’t guarantee immunity.

WHO chiefs have warned world leaders not to invest too much in testing, which can show whether a person has already had coronavirus.

Britain and many countries hoped that antibody testing would allow those who can demonstrate that they have had the virus, and are therefore considered immune, to return to work and stabilize the economy.

Global death toll from coronavirus reaches 2 million

The global death toll from the new coronavirus pandemic rose to 155,076 today, according to an official source count compiled by Agence France-Presse.

There have been more than 2,257,216 reported cases in 193 countries and territories since the epidemic first erupted in China in December.

Of these cases, at least 497,600 are now considered recovered.

The counts, using data collected by AFP from national authorities and information from the World Health Organization, probably reflect only a fraction of the actual number of infections.

Many countries are testing only the most severe cases.

In the United States, now the epicenter of the pandemic, the death toll was 37,079 with 706,779 infections. At least 59,672 patients have recovered.

Italy is the next most affected country with 22,745 deaths and 172,434 confirmed infections.

It is followed by Spain with 20,043 deaths and 191,726 confirmed infections, France with 18,681 deaths and 147,969 infections and Great Britain with 15,464 deaths and 114,217 cases.

China, excluding Hong Kong and Macao, has so far reported 4,632 deaths and 82,719 cases.

Europe has listed 1,121,081 cases and 98,873 deaths to date, the United States and Canada together have 738,706 cases with 38,445 deaths, Asia 158,764 cases with 6,837 deaths, the Middle East 119,462 cases with 5,452 deaths, Latin America and the Caribbean 91,699 cases with 4,367 deaths, Africa 19,674 cases with 1,016 deaths and Oceania 7,835 cases with 86 deaths.

This means that those who have already had the virus could be at risk of being reinfected.

Additionally, NHS workers have been furious at the lack of personal protective equipment in hospitals after they were ordered to reuse it and “wear aprons” to treat patients with coronavirus.

The British Medical Association has called the situation a “regrettable situation” as doctors feel unprotected at work despite the UK being two months away from the crisis.

Frontline doctors fear some NHS trusts will run out of robes and coveralls this weekend with stocks now ‘depleted’, anger amid fears that they will have to treat virus patients in aprons only plastic to protect yourself.

Meanwhile, a key government adviser on the coronavirus said trials for a vaccine against the disease could be completed in mid-August.

Human testing of a possible vaccine will begin within the next week at the University of Oxford.

When asked about the possibility of autumn producing a vaccine, Professor Sir John Bell, a member of the Government Vaccine Task Force and Life Sciences Advisor, told the BBC Radio 4 Today program: ‘The real question is whether it will be effective.

“ It will protect people, and that has not been proven and will only be proven once you have vaccinated a significant number of people and exposed them to the virus and counted how many people have contracted the virus in that population.

So then we won’t even get a sign of that until May.

“But if things are going on and are effective then I think it is reasonable to think that they could complete their test in mid-August.”

Sir John said of the candidate vaccine being tested at Oxford: ‘If we can see evidence of a strong immune response in mid to late May, then I think the game is on.

NHS staff said to treat virus patients without wearing gowns

Doctors may be forced to treat virus patients only in plastic aprons for protection, as supplies of full gowns run out this weekend.

A new guideline was issued last night amid reports that at least 60 NHS trusts were hoping to deplete their stock of dresses.

This includes all hospitals in London, which reportedly need tens of thousands of gowns delivered urgently.

The Public Health England guide sets out what front-line staff should do where there are no gowns left.

Options include borrowing from other hospitals with supplies, wearing overalls, or wearing flimsy plastic aprons.

It is a significant U-turn from the previous PHE guideline, which required long-lasting, waterproof surgical gowns for all high-risk hospital procedures. The move will raise fears that more doctors and nurses will become infected due to a lack of personal protective equipment (PPE).

The comments came amid fears that some hospitals might run out of certain types of personal protective equipment (PPE) this weekend.

Chris Hopson, president of NHS Providers, said some trusts will run out of supplies on Saturday or Sunday because “we have reached the point where the national stock of fluid repellent coats and overalls (depleted) is depleted.”

The comments came when a British Medical Association (BMA) survey of more than 6,000 doctors across the country said a significant number of them remain without the protection they need to protect themselves against Covid-19.

It echoed another survey of 14,000 medical personnel conducted by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) that found that half of nurses have felt pressure to work without the proper protective equipment during the crisis.

It comes after it was revealed that doctors and nurses in England will be asked to work without long gowns and to reuse items when treating patients with coronavirus before the expected shortage of protective clothing, sparking outrage from unions. .

BMA Board President Dr. Chaand Nagpaul said: ‘The Government says a billion items will be shipped soon, and while there have been signs of improvement, our research clearly shows that the team is not reaching all doctors. who work on the front line.

WHO says antibody tests don’t guarantee virus immunity

Antibody tests may not help ease blocking measures because they do not guarantee immunity, says the World Health Organization.

WHO chiefs have warned world leaders not to invest too much in testing, which can show whether a person has already had coronavirus.

Britain and many countries hoped that antibody testing would allow those who can demonstrate that they have had the virus, and are therefore considered immune, to return to work and stabilize the economy.

But Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO emergency program, said there was limited evidence that coronavirus survivors were guaranteed future immunity against the disease.

This means that those who have already had the virus could be at risk of being reinfected.

He added: ‘No one is sure if someone with antibodies is fully protected against disease or exposure again.

“Also, some of the tests have sensitivity issues; they can give a false negative result.”

He added: “Just yesterday, the Secretary of Health and Social Assistance said that he could not guarantee that the hospitals would not run out this weekend.”

The BMA survey found that just under a third of physicians working in high-risk areas (general spray procedure areas (AGP)) and other non-AGP hospital settings said they were sometimes pressured to work without protection. Adequate, while 50% of physicians working In AGP areas, there was said to be a shortage or lack of supply of disposable long-sleeved gowns and disposable glasses.

Public Health England (PHE) reversed its guidance on Friday night, which stipulated that long-sleeved disposable liquid repellent gowns be worn when treating patients with Covid-19.

If gowns are not available, clinical staff are encouraged to wear ‘disposable gowns or coveralls without a fluid repellent’ or ‘washable surgical gowns’, with aprons, and then wash their forearms.

At least 50 NHS workers have died after contracting coronavirus.

A Health Department spokesperson said: “A new clinical council has been issued today to make sure that if there is a shortage in an area, front-line staff know what PPE to use to minimize risk.”

Niall Dickson, executive director of the NHS Confederation, a body that describes itself as speaking for the health and care system, told the BBC Radio 4 Today program: “I think the troubling situation is absolutely there.

“The reality is that there is a possibility, and I do not think it is definitive, but there is the possibility that hospitals will be exhausted or, in fact, other parts of the system may be left without the gowns necessary to treat some, not all, Covid.

A key government adviser on the coronavirus said trials for a vaccine against the disease could be completed in mid-August.

Human testing of a possible vaccine will begin within the next week at the University of Oxford.

He told the Times: “The government will have to accept and admit that we are coming out of the running of the bulls.”

“We need to trust the British people and not treat them like a child.” We must respect their common sense. They need to know that the sun is rising at some point in an economic sense. ‘

Meanwhile, a campaign thanking NHS staff for their work during the coronavirus crisis has raised £ 1 million.

More than 200,000 people have supported the £ OneMillionClaps campaign in one week by donating £ 5 to send a personal message of support to NHS workers.

ITV, official broadcast partner for the campaign, dedicated a day of broadcasting messages to NHS personnel on the front line.

The #OneMillionClaps campaign is part of an appeal launched two weeks ago by NHS Charities Together, the official umbrella organization for NHS charities.

Donations will be used to provide a variety of supplies and support to NHS staff, volunteers, and patients, including food, travel, accommodation, electronic communication devices to keep in touch with family and friends, and mental health support and counseling.

If the campaign generates a million applauses, the appeal will raise at least £ 5 million, and significantly more if supporters make a Gift Aid statement that allows the charity to claim taxes on their donation.

A short film has been produced with NHS staff and people from across the UK to promote the appeal.

The film, voiced by David Walliams, features a new recording of the Queen We Will Rock You classic with new lyrics: ‘NHS, We Love You. We say, we say, thank you.

Captain Tom Moore’s charity single has gone straight to the top of the UK iTunes chart as the hero’s fundraising total exceeded a staggering £ 22 million.

The 99-year-old war veteran collaborated with singer Michael Ball on a poignant version of “Never Never Walk Alone.”

It has narrowed narrowly the touching interpretation of Vera Lynn of We will meet again to the first position.

The 99-year-old war veteran is raising millions for the NHS Charities Together amid the coronavirus pandemic, after initially hoping to raise just £ 1,000 by completing 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday.

Captain Tom has been raising money for NHS Charities Together to help frontline doctors combat the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed 14,576 in the UK.

Initially he hoped to raise £ 1,000 by completing 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday.

He finished the walk ahead of schedule on Thursday, after starting on April 13, and has seen more than a million donors help fundraise exceed £ 22 million.

After capturing the hearts of the nation, Captain Tom joined forces with Ball to create his own edifying version of “Never Never Walk Alone”.

The couple recorded the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein melody duo, which has become an anthem for medical staff during the pandemic, with the NHS Voices of Care choir.

The song has an introduction to Captain Moore’s spoken work, where it says, “Keep your head up and don’t be afraid of the dark.”

It has already risen to the top of the iTunes chart ahead of the World War II veteran’s 100th birthday on April 30.

Originally from Keighley in West Yorkshire, Captain Moore trained as a civil engineer before enlisting in the Army for World War II, becoming a captain and serving in India and Burma.

He was sent to India where he fought in the Arakan Campaign of 1942-3, when the Allies rejected the Japanese in Burma.

He had a battle with skin cancer a while back, and a couple of years ago, he had a fall in the kitchen where he broke his hip and cut his head off.

Captain Moore was sent to India where he fought in the Arakan Campaign from 1942 to 1943 during World War II.

West End star Ball, 57, had asked for his single set to hit number one in time for Cpt Moore’s birthday.

He said: ‘There is not one of us who was not inspired by Captain Tom Moore. It is one of the greatest honors of my career to sing with this true national hero, supported by the incredible NHS Voices for Care Choir.

From Yorkshire to India: Captain Tom Moore’s career in the military

Captain Tom Moore was drafted into the British Army in June 1940 when he was 20 years old, along with all men between the ages of 20-35.

He began his military career in Otley, West Yorkshire, where he joined the 8th Battalion, the Duke of Wellington’s regiment under Lieutenant Lord George Saville.

The Regiment was sent to train at Wadebridge, Cornwall, where they were tasked with coastal defense amid a planned German invasion.

A young Captain Moore was soon promoted out and sent to the officer cadet training unit at Droitwich Spa.

Here, he celebrated his 21st birthday after serving as a second lieutenant.

In August 1941, he was sent to DWR headquarters in Halifax, where he joined the Ninth Battalion at Winchcombe.

The infantry battalion later became a 146th Royal Armored Corp armored regiment, although the Most of the soldiers could not drive.

In October, the unit was dispatched to Bombay, now Mumbai, in India. The journey took six weeks by sea, with a four-day delay in Freetown, Sierra Leone and a four-day stop in Cape Town.

Captain Moore then took a train from Bombay to Poona, before reaching Kirkee, a city now known as Khadki.

The 9th DWR formed the 50th Indian Tank Brigade under the command of Brigadier Schreiber.

The Brigadier asked Captain Moore to start a motorcycle course for the Brigade due to his experience in the sport.

The Brigade was then ordered to move to Calcutta; the road trip was in a monsoon and took three weeks.

His battalion was stationed in the Lohardaga district near Ranchi.

They then took part in two exercises on the Arakan before moving further east and south to Rangoon.

Captain Moore was sent to a course at the approved vehicle depot in Bovington, England.

He remained here as an instructor until it closed.

“Not only is he the greatest fundraiser in British history and a decorated war veteran, he is the most charming man you could ever want to meet.

‘I hope he can now add a singing star to his many talents. It wouldn’t be wonderful if we could give him a number one record for his 100th birthday!

Cpt Moore said: “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would release a single with Michael Ball OBE, but I also didn’t think it was possible to walk in the garden and raise millions.”

‘So why not sing, spread a little joy and again? Raise money for our national heroes. NHS, this is for you!

The Duke of Cambridge personally thanked Captain Moore, where he was shown a pre-recorded message from William praising the veteran’s achievement as “incredible” and “incredible.”

In the video, the duke said: “ What I also love is that he is a 99-year-old war veteran, has been around for a long time, knows everything, and it is wonderful that everyone has been inspired by his history and determination.

‘I think it is a one man fundraising machine.

“God knows what the final total will be, but it’s good for him, I hope it continues.”

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he is looking for ways to recognize his “heroic efforts.”

Originally from Keighley in West Yorkshire, Captain Moore trained as a civil engineer before enlisting in the Army for World War II, becoming a captain and serving in India and Burma.

Yesterday it was learned that the hero could get a Spitfire air flight for his 100th birthday in 12 days.

A team of Hangar Biggin Hill Heritage aircraft restorers hopes to fly the plane beyond their home as a “small gesture” to celebrate their accomplishments.

“ It will really be a moral boost for all of us to see a Spitfire in the sky, ” Alex Monk 21 of the Hangar told The Telegraph. “It has been a symbol of freedom in the past and an icon for Tom.”

The plan is for the Spirit of Kent, which was built in 1945 and flew on the commemorative flight of the Battle of Britain, to fly at 500 feet 250 mph over the former tank commander’s home in the village of Marston Moretaine in Bedfordshire. . They are waiting for permission from the Department of Transportation.

Britons across the country have teamed up with the hero of World War II for their morning walk.

Captain Moore fans have started uploading videos of themselves on social media with the hashtag #walkwithtom.

Dozens have been sharing their morning walks and showing their appreciation for the heroic efforts of the veterans.

Algunos compartieron mensajes de apoyo para el héroe de guerra, incluido un joven, llamado Harry, quien usó su propio traje militar para completar una vuelta de su jardín ayer.

Le dijo al capitán Moore: ‘Mi mamá es enfermera. Solo quería agradecerle por ayudar al NHS y por hacer un gran trabajo. Espero que tengas un feliz cumpleaños.

Otros compartieron videos de ellos mismos caminando por el campo local mientras animaban al Capitán Moore y lo elogiaron por continuar con su desafío a pesar de romper su objetivo inicial de £ 1,000.

Cpt Moore ha sido elogiado por el duque de Cambridge y una larga lista de celebridades, y el primer ministro Boris Johnson está buscando formas de reconocer sus “esfuerzos heroicos”.

Más de 800,000 han firmado peticiones en línea pidiendo que ‘Sir Tom’ sea nombrado caballero.

El Capitán Moore, que cumple 100 años el 30 de abril, solo planeó recaudar £ 1,000 cuando comenzó su viaje de recaudación de fondos.

Ayer surgieron imágenes del Capitán Moore viendo un video en el que el Duque y la Duquesa de Cambridge lo elogiaron por su notable logro.

Lleno de alegría por el mensaje, el Capitán Moore, cuya apelación también recibió una donación no revelada de William y Kate, dijo que era “absolutamente increíble” escuchar a su “súper príncipe” decir palabras tan amables sobre sus esfuerzos de recaudación de fondos.

El Príncipe William dijo sobre los esfuerzos del Capitán Moore en una entrevista con BBC Breakfast esta mañana: ‘Es increíble. Es asombroso.

“Lo que también me encanta es que es un veterano de guerra de 99 años, ha estado presente por mucho tiempo, lo sabe todo y es maravilloso que todos hayan sido inspirados por su historia y su determinación”.

“Creo que es una máquina de recaudación de fondos de un solo hombre y Dios sabe cuál será el total final, pero será bueno para él”. Espero que siga adelante ‘.

A lo que el capitán Moore responde, después de ver la entrevista: ‘Bueno, eso creo que es absolutamente increíble. Que mi súper príncipe puede decir algo así.

El príncipe William y Kate estaban hablando con la BBC sobre cómo habían lidiado con la pandemia de coronavirus.

La pareja reveló que educaron en casa a sus hijos durante las vacaciones de Pascua y hablaron sobre los temores por el príncipe Carlos por su diagnóstico de coronavirus.

Kate también dijo que la familia había pasado por “altibajos” durante el cierre “como muchas familias” desde que se impuso el 23 de marzo, pero que se habían mantenido en contacto con otros miembros de la familia mediante videollamadas en línea.

El portavoz oficial de Boris Johnson insinuó un posible título de caballero para el Capitán Moore y dijo: ‘Tom ha demostrado una vida de valentía y compasión. El primer ministro seguramente buscará formas de reconocer a Tom y sus esfuerzos ‘.

El veterano dijo: Me sorprendería tener ese honor y conocer a nuestra maravillosa Reina. Es increíble que pueda suceder ‘.

Añadió: ‘Soy un gran admirador de todo lo que Su Majestad ha hecho por este país. No creo que sea un fenómeno global en absoluto, solo un abuelo haciendo algunas vueltas de su jardín ‘, según The Sun.

Ladbrokes ahora ha suspendido las apuestas para que el Capitán Moore sea nombrado caballero este año.

Para ayer por la mañana, más de 890,000 simpatizantes tenían donaciones para la apelación del Capitán Moore.

Hablando en el programa de desayuno de Zoe Ball de BBC Radio 2 el viernes, dijo: ‘Realmente es absolutamente enorme, ¿no? Es difícil imaginar esa suma de dinero, pero está llegando muy bien ‘.

Su hija Hannah Ingram-Moore dijo: ‘Tom tiene claro que mientras la gente crea que vale la pena invertir, seguirá caminando porque esto es por una causa tan fenomenal.

“Sabemos que esta historia tendrá vida, así que mientras las personas donen seguiremos apoyando a mi padre para que lo haga y él seguirá caminando”.

Hablando sobre el mensaje del Príncipe William, le dijo a Radio 2: “ Nunca en mi vida anticipé estar en contacto con personas tan importantes y súper que han estado haciendo comentarios amables como este.

“Realmente está fuera de este mundo”.

Dirigiéndose al público, agregó: “ Digo muchas gracias porque el objeto que estamos contribuyendo es muy importante y tan necesario, y aprecio y creo que todos ustedes son tan amables y atentos al contribuir a esta causa. ‘

Antes de comenzar el último tramo de su desafío a la luz del sol de la mañana del jueves, cuatro soldados del regimiento de Yorkshire que salieron a apoyarlo lo saludaron con su armazón.

Recibió un saludo entusiasta en el tramo final de su caminata que ha visto dinero donado de personas en 53 países. El veterano de la Segunda Guerra Mundial inclinó la cabeza y sonrió mientras su cofre de medallas en su traje brillaba.

Añadió: ‘Creo que todos deben recordar que al final lo superaremos, todo estará bien, pero puede llevar tiempo. A todas las personas les resulta difícil en este momento, el sol volverá a brillar y las nubes se irán.

Michael Ball luego cantó “Never Never Walk Alone” desde su casa, después de decirle: “Es un logro extraordinario. He estado tratando de pensar en una canción que resume tu logro y lo que has hecho por nosotros.

Cuando se le preguntó acerca de la canción, el Capitán Moore dijo: “ Primero que nada, Michael es un súper cantante. Creo que es verdad que las personas, no caminaremos solos, donde quiera que estés hay otras personas pensando en ti pensando que pronto todo mejorará y todos volveremos a sonreír ”.

Después de sentarse junto a su hija, vio una compilación de deportistas y celebridades que lo elogiaron por su logro, incluido el jugador de cricket Ben Stokes, el ex piloto de carreras Damon Hill y el personaje de televisión Judge Judy.

El coronel de su antiguo regimiento, el general de brigada Andrew Jackson, lo describió como una “leyenda”. Más tarde, las lágrimas brotaron de los ojos del Capitán Moore durante una entrevista de BBC Breakfast cuando le dijeron que había sido una inspiración para millones.

Cuando se le preguntó qué piensa sobre el potencial de ser caballero, el Capitán Moore dijo al programa: “Sería maravilloso tener ese honor, pero no espero nada de eso”. Creo que sería absolutamente enorme si fuera un caballero, para ser Sir Thomas Moore, nunca antes había escuchado algo así

Y hablando sobre la Reina, agregó: “Creo que la Reina es maravillosa y está haciendo un trabajo tan excelente porque todo el tiempo que ha sido reina ha sido la líder del país, y le tengo un gran aprecio”. Espero que ella continúe como reina por mucho tiempo.

Y en su 100 cumpleaños el 30 de abril, el Capitán Moore dijo: ‘Bueno, originalmente íbamos a tener una gran fiesta aquí con todos mis amigos y parientes y todos estábamos imaginando cómo sería.

‘Durante tanto tiempo la gente ha dicho’ ¿vas a tener una fiesta de cumpleaños? ‘ probablemente espero ser invitado, pero me temo que eso no puede suceder ahora porque todos tienen que estar a seis metros de mí.

“Pero hoy es realmente algo especial con todos ustedes aquí y toda la gente amable que mira y todos ustedes que presentan dinero”. Y eso es suficiente para mí, y espero que estén lo suficientemente bien como para estar aquí cuando tengamos una fiesta adecuada.

‘Pero eso no sucederá por un tiempo porque vamos a estar encerrados por un poco más de tiempo. Siento a las personas en un espacio muy limitado durante una semana tras otra, debe ser muy, muy difícil, y les felicito a todos los que se apegan a las normas y se quedan en sus propios hogares ”.

Cuando se le dijo que ahora era el mayor recaudador de fondos individual en el sitio web de JustGiving, el Capitán Moore agregó: ‘Ese es un buen récord para romper. Los registros están allí para ser batidos y estoy muy feliz de que sea esta causa la que se ha beneficiado tanto ”.

El hombre de 99 años dio el visto bueno y recibió un abrazo de bienvenida de su hija y nietos mientras posaba para los medios después de su vuelta número 100 de su jardín.

El veterano de guerra descansó después de los esfuerzos de su caminata matutina para completar las 100 vueltas de su jardín. “Solo un poco de descanso”, bromeó.

Pero dentro de una hora regresó empujando su marco Zimmer con ruedas alrededor del área pavimentada del gran jardín mientras conversaba con su nieto Benji, de 16 años, y su nieta Georgia, de 11.

Recaudación de fondos para organizaciones benéficas del NHS juntas

El llamamiento de coronavirus de NHS Charities Together para apoyar al personal de primera línea del NHS ha recaudado más de £ 50 millones, menos de un mes después de su lanzamiento.

NHS Charities Together, un organismo paraguas para organizaciones benéficas del NHS, lanzó un llamamiento urgente de recaudación de fondos en marzo a la luz de la pandemia.

Su objetivo es recaudar £ 100m.

¿Cómo se compara con otros eventos para recaudar fondos?

La apelación de BBC Children in Need en 2019 recaudó un total ‘en la noche’ de £ 47.9m.

La cantidad representa una caída de £ 2.7m (5 por ciento) en 2018, cuando se recaudó un récord de £ 50.6m en la noche.

El evento Race for Live de Cancer Research UK recaudó £ 35 millones en 2019, £ 32 millones en 2018 y más de £ 50 millones en 2015.

El evento de MacMillan La mañana de café más grande del mundo recaudó un total de £ 27.5 millones en 2019

Le había encantado conocer soldados de la versión moderna del regimiento en el que había servido después de ser reclutado en 1940 cuando tenía 20 años.

El capitán Moore dijo que ver a los soldados darle una guardia de honor le había dado un impulso mientras caminaba la última vuelta.

“Eran buenos muchachos y tan agradables que podrían estar aquí”, dijo. Estaba con el regimiento del duque de Wellington que se formó en el regimiento de Yorkshire de donde son. Fue encantador verlos aquí.

Su nieto, Benji, dijo que el veterano de guerra fue una inspiración para las personas de su edad, y agregó: “Siempre he sabido qué personaje tan fuerte era y si alguien iba a hacer esto era nuestro abuelo”.

“Es un orgulloso Yorkshireman y lo que ha logrado es increíble y me enorgullece mucho”. Sé que querrá seguir caminando mientras la gente siga dando dinero. No querrá darse por vencido, ya que está dando tanta esperanza a muchos otros en estos tiempos difíciles ”.

Claire Baxter, quien trabaja para su cirugía local y detectó su cáncer de piel, dijo que estaba “llorosa” por sus logros, y agregó: “Estamos muy orgullosos de él, lo adoramos y nos sentimos honrados de poder cuidarlo”. .

‘El es un verdadero caballero. Realmente lo amo. Está cada vez que entra. Me ve desde mayo dos veces por semana para vestirse y siempre viene con una sonrisa en la cara: cómo estoy, cómo está mi familia. Ambos disfrutamos la Fórmula Uno, así que hablamos de eso. Es una alegría verlo. Lo extrañamos mucho, pero nos alegra que esté a salvo y bien.

Hablando sobre su salud, el Capitán Moore le dijo a This Morning de ITV: ‘Mi salud está bien, estoy bien debido al NHS. Cuando me rompí la cadera y cuando tuve cáncer en la cabeza, me trataron muy bien. Se merecen cada centavo que reciben.

“Nuestro propio servicio nacional está absolutamente más allá, lo hace muy bien y en este momento todo el personal que se encuentra en peligro mortal todos los días, entra en servicio y lo hace alegremente, sea cual sea el resultado”.

‘Sabrán que en ese momento todos vinieron y lo hicieron muy bien. Todos los médicos, enfermeras y personal de respaldo están haciendo un trabajo maravilloso para toda la nación.

“ La guerra que estamos enfrentando en este momento, con este enemigo invisible, los médicos, las enfermeras que se están poniendo en peligro mortal están en primera línea y nosotros somos los que retrocedemos.

“Es nuestro trabajo darles todo lo que necesitan para que hagan su trabajo correctamente porque lo han hecho con tanta valentía”.

Ian Lush, presidente de NHS Charities Together, que el Capitán Moore está apoyando, dijo: ‘Fue extraordinario, siento una conexión personal particular porque el Capitán Tom estaba en Birmania en India al final de la guerra, y también mi difunto padre que era el mayor Cecil Lush, de los ingenieros, y es muy posible que se hayan conocido.

“Es extraordinario ver la cantidad de dinero y la efusión de buena voluntad hacia el NHS y hacia todas las organizaciones benéficas del NHS que se encargarán del dinero que está recaudando”.

Cuando se le preguntó qué sucede con el dinero, dijo: ‘Hay alrededor de 150 organizaciones benéficas del NHS que se beneficiarán de este dinero, somos una organización de membresía y ahora una gran organización de recaudación de fondos, soy el presidente y dirijo una de las 150 organizaciones benéficas eso es Imperial Health Charity: apoyamos a tres hospitales.

“ Estamos gastando dinero para apoyar al personal en tiempos de crisis, estamos apoyando el bienestar, estamos haciendo vainas para que duerman en los hospitales para que no tengan que irse a casa entre turnos.

‘Estamos haciendo asesoramiento, estamos haciendo todo tipo de cosas, pero también estamos ahorrando dinero para que tengamos dinero para ayudarnos durante los próximos 18 meses más o menos para apoyar al personal.

‘También apoyamos a pacientes y familias con nuestras subvenciones de asistencia social, por lo que hay muchas maneras diferentes en que se utilizará el dinero. Todos somos organizaciones benéficas con mucha experiencia en el uso de este tipo de fondos, por lo que nos aseguraremos de que vaya a los lugares correctos ”.

Su hija Hannah Ingram Moore le dijo a MailOnline que estaba “asombrada” por los 12 millones de libras que hasta ahora había criado su padre. “Es simplemente increíble y estoy segura de que irá más alto cuando termine la caminata”, dijo.

Agregó que su padre se había convertido en “un faro de esperanza para la gente” en tiempos difíciles y que las donaciones estaban “más allá de las palabras” mientras el país lucha contra una pandemia que se ha cobrado más de 12,000 vidas.

Moore también dijo que el administrador de correos local ya había sido ‘inundado’ con mensajes antes del cumpleaños número 100 del Capitán Moore, que llegará dentro de quince días el 30 de abril.

El mayor Ian Atkins del Regimiento de Yorkshire, que es el equivalente del Capitán Moore en la actualidad, dijo ayer en su casa: “ Es un honor y un privilegio para nosotros estar aquí para apoyar a Tom en un logro excepcional.

‘Es algo absolutamente fantástico, pero más de £ 12 millones es asombroso. Vemos a Tom como un miembro de la familia del regimiento, por lo que estar aquí para apoyarlo es un privilegio ‘.

Los soldados uniformados estaban presentes para animar al ‘capitán fantástico’ mientras completaba diez tramos del jardín de su casa.

El Director General de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, tuiteó sus elogios al Capitán Moore, diciendo: ‘¡Esta es una historia tan inspiradora y un acto extraordinario de solidaridad! ¡Muchas gracias, Capitán Tom Moore, por tan maravillosa idea y lección de humanidad! ¡Juntos, contra # COVID19! #GraciasHealthHeroes ‘.

Anteriormente, el Capitán Moore había dicho que los trabajadores del NHS en la primera línea “merecen todo lo que podemos darles”, y le dijo a ITV: “Siempre he sido uno por tener un futuro, siempre creo que las cosas serán buenas”. Hemos peleado tantas batallas y siempre hemos ganado y vamos a ganar de nuevo ”.

Tal es la fama del Capitán Moore: media docena de policías estaban estacionados frente a la puerta principal de la casa que comparte con su hija y su familia.

Y el Capitán Moore le dijo a MailOnline que en lugar de ponerse de pie para un merecido descanso, planea continuar caminando y recaudar aún más dinero.

Él dijo: ‘He completado mis 100 vueltas, pero voy a seguir caminando porque sé que tengo al increíble público británico detrás de mí en cada paso del camino.

“Estoy completamente abrumado por el apoyo de todos y no puedo agradecerles lo suficiente por apoyar mi misión de recaudar dinero para nuestro querido NHS”.

Hannah, con quien ha vivido durante 12 años, dijo que estaba llena de orgullo por su padre que celebra su cumpleaños número 100 a finales de este mes.

Ella dijo: ‘Sabíamos que podía hacer 100 vueltas del jardín, sin duda, pero nunca en un millón de años esperábamos recaudar esta cantidad de dinero.

‘Todo el mundo está hablando del Capitán Tom Moore, y eso me hace increíblemente orgulloso como su hija. He visto a toda la nación enamorarse de mi padre, y él merece todo el amor, el reconocimiento y el apoyo para su increíble misión. Así que gracias de parte de todos nosotros.

El héroe de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, que se unió al ejército en 1940 cuando tenía 20 años, se había propuesto recaudar £ 1,000 caminando lentamente 100 tramos de su jardín antes de celebrar su centésimo cumpleaños.

Pero inspirado por los mensajes de apoyo que inundaban a su familia, se lanzó 90 largos en poco más de una semana. Completó las últimas diez vueltas del desafío original esta mañana.

Había querido recaudar dinero para agradecer al personal del NHS que lo había apoyado a través del tratamiento del cáncer de piel y una fractura de cadera. Cuando se corrió la voz de su recaudación de fondos a través de las redes sociales, superó rápidamente el total de £ 1,000.

Ellie Orton, directora ejecutiva de la organización benéfica en el extremo receptor de la recaudación de fondos del Capitán Moore, dijo: “ Creo que me uno absolutamente al resto del país para estar verdaderamente inspirado y profundamente humillado por el Capitán Tom y lo que ha logrado. Gracias por ser una inspiración y un modelo a seguir ‘.

El Capitán Tom comenzó las últimas vueltas a las 7.45 am del jueves, visto por equipos de filmación de BBC e ITV.

Antes de comenzar, rindió homenaje al NHS y dijo: “Me siento bien, estando en el ejército estoy acostumbrado a levantarme temprano”.

El ex oficial del Ejército admitió estar sorprendido por la respuesta a sus esfuerzos de recaudación de fondos diciendo que el apoyo ha sido “absolutamente fabuloso”.

En un llamado a la nación, agregó: ‘Sigamos y recordemos que las cosas mejorarán. Hemos tenido problemas antes, los hemos superado, y todos volveremos a superar lo mismo ”.
