COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Rammy Blue]

Seems like this lab in China did a bloody good job in making a damned near perfect killing machine of a virus...

London hospitalisation has dramatically dropped.

 

[kaz7]

Public movement on transport -60% drop since feb

Cases of covid,levelling out

People in hospital,down a lot in london ,tiny peak in the midlands,but overall levelling off

Global death comparison,still dead on italy line for hosps only,all including other settings,dead on france's line

His Yorkshire accent has been covered up but keeps creeping in

Tends to happen when someone has spent quite a lot of time and effort to cover their original accent but is then put under immense pressure/stress.

I call it the Hugh Grant effect.

 

[Akpowell]

A Marie Curie nurse who spent more than 40 years working in palliative care has died after contracting COVID-19.



Barbara Sage was "kind, caring and fun" and "a beautiful person" who had "an absolute passion" for her work.

"The family couldn't hold Barbara's hand as she was dying. They couldn't hug her goodbye

Another angel lost

I would have done Kaz, I would have told them to fuck off

Well that is as busy as I have seen it since lockdown. Just been for my run it’s packed out.

Ran over the golf course I don’t think I have ever seen it as busy. Nobody playing golf though !!!

We took the dog to Heaton Park this afternoon and it was rammed, busiest I’ve seen it since we entered lockdown.

Hancock said last week this was going to change so nobody died alone,this disease is cruel

Apart from the very low mortality rate, absolutely.

Somebody put 50p in this guys meter

This medical officer is letting her fellow professionals down

It’s not doing too badly, and will continue for a while yet. I thought it was pretty obvious what I meant, in the context of being difficult to pin down. For every positive story there follows a negative, etc etc.

In terms of population, Belgium has been hit incredibly badly.

To match the rate of deaths per million people the UK would have to suffer over 36,000 deaths from COVID-19.

Why so bad there?

belgium are apparently logging suspected cases as well as confirmed.

What does it mean? On days of high pressure stable conditions there may be a risk of enough virus floating in the air to cause infection. nothing proven yet but the virus has been identified on the particles.

Someone posted that Scotland had fewer per capita cases than elsewhere, obviously as a country Scotland has a lot op open spaces but it tends be windy almost perpetually. Could this contribute I wonder.

It`ll be all the fried stuff they eat that kills most know viruses.

As “a near perfect killing machine” it’s fucking wank.

In other words: being rational, compassionate, realistic, decisive, and persevering.

Things in short supply in some quarters in modern times.

I thought your come back to BM was being carefully orchestrated for last Sunday for maximum effect? Your messianic words although a week late are noted ;-)

It also means high density housing in hot weather is a bit of a virus spread session. Another way of it becoming airborne.

Ha ha. Or should say "Get you, you health freak"
Good to hear some good coming out of this for you my friend. Keep it up.

I’m not sure a (formerly catholic) jewish atheist should be trusted on matters of religion, mate. ;-)

Just a guess but probably because it's the 2nd most densly populated country in Europe after the Netherlands.
