COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Claytop]

So bottom line is, this virus has killed a lot more people than what has been reported?

Yes, pretty much.

Testing.
Did you know 25% of booked tests don't turn up?

Because of logistics,that has always been the problem

I think he was on the windup mate :-)

I'm glad you pointed it out :-)

 

[johnnytapia]

The vulnerable are made up of all age groups,mums and dad's of these young and healthy people and kids,the notion that the young and healthy can go out just like that,they carry the illness without having symptoms so they have to be restricted for the sake of other people,their parents who are vulnerable,i would have thought by now the fact that we are all protecting each other would be understood

Very well said. But shouldn't need saying.

England recorded 331 new deaths, Scotland had 83, Wales reported 21 and Northern Ireland had 14

Unless people are like me and still have uncertainties.
Are the ones who can pass on the virus all of those who have been infected or just the ones.who are unaffected ie carriers.

Just to remember there are people behind these numbers

His 81-year-old mum Lillian died on Friday holding hands with her husband, Keith’s dad Maurice,he had been brought to her bedside from his ward by hospital staff,he then died over the weekend

Good grief this is absolutely tragic. That poor family.

There are so many stories i could post but don't want to depress people,on the other hand everyone should face this head on and not ignore the reality imo,those who have died deserve to be recognised

I know Momentum are not universally admired on here but the video is decent.

i gave up watching early on after the clip of Johnson saying that "we could take it on the chin and allow it to move through the population", but they CUT OFF the ending where he said (in terms) "but we have ruled that idea out".

Shameful manipulation and misreporting of the facts, purely for political gain. Absolutely shite.

And who the fuck do Momentum think they are??? Experts on communicable diseases all of a sudden? They can fuck off.

Still the overall point remains NZ have handled this way better than the UK.

NZ is an entirely different country with completely difference dynamics and challenges and therefore a completely different set of practicably possible responses.

I am not necessarily disagreeing with you that they have handled it better. Maybe they have. But we should be careful not to draw too many specific conclusions.

I think it’s better to post them. I never read the papers so wouldn’t know of things like that.

It’d make me think twice about going out for some milk if I didn’t really need it more so than not having read it.

I don’t have any milk, but I can have my coffee black for a few days until I do a bigger shop.

That's pissed me right off
That's awful, so sad.

I think this is important too. For a while I was nipping out to get a paper on a Sunday, using the appropriate distancing and handwashing etc. But then concluded, is this REALLY essential? I could die from this, or worse, be responsible for the death of a loved one. Needless to say I no longer do it.
