As are mine, but they originally configured the volume control to up the pressure if required (as when I first got it they weren't sure what the best settings were for me) and they never locked it down because I always get bronchitis when I get a cold and need to increase it a couple of notches.

Waiting for Fumble, Len and Bluthrunthru to call you Trump.

What’s funny is it’s our view, that if adopted by world leaders, will help the Chinese population, not their’s.

But the point is they covered this up for around a month (if you want to be kind to them) , there were smoking guns everywhere on transmission mode - a month of doing nothing is a phenomenally long time in terms of a virus with cobid's transmission rate; it was a systematic shutdown of information from the party's central office originating from the regional governor - i'm confused as to why you can't see this has had a major impact as to why we are where we are with this pandemic.

I don't think they did cover it up for a month, they contacted WHO on the 31st December when there had only been 7 cases and at the date of that WHO tweet also said they had seen limited transmission in families but not sustained H2H transmission. Like I said, I'd be interested to see the outbreak of other diseases how quickly and how many cases it took them to diagnose and go into lockdown.

But we discussed why Trump pivoting to use the term Chinese Virus after he’d been using its official designation was certainly dog whistle. As I say, even he has given up on that for now.

Not all diseases have a geographic locator. SARS didn’t. Swine Flu didn’t. AIDS didn’t.

SARS came from somewhere in Southern China - as well you know. That's a geographical location.

180 for the day which is a drop from yesterday but not great. Doesn't appear at the moment we are following the trajectory of Italy which everyone thought we might which is some good news amongst all the doom and gloom

Trouble is that fucking mad weekend & all the pub nights won't have filtered through yet, the figures now are most probably people who contracted CV around the start of March.

It was called Spanish flu

It wasn’t from Spain. It originated in the USA. It’s also not it’s official designation. It was called 1918 H1N1.

Also, there are lots of diseases with geographic locators in their name and lots without. Calling it Chinese Virus after it was given a proper name was intended to be derogatory by Trump. He has now since desisted.

You think antibiotics won't work on it because it's the 2nd phase, not that its a virus...?

Antibiotics don't work for viruses, and steroids don't either.
There is nothing to even remotely suggest it was round before christmas. There are plenty of other viruses flying around in winter that people have had.

Spanish media reported on the flu as the other countries were at war, they became the go to place to find out about the flu. It never originated in Spain and was most likely from America but others argue it was China too.

Or people just had a bad cold at Christmas and this is a new virus.
