COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Nellies left peg]

At least there will be a 40m boost to some recently incorporated PPE suppliers, and all the people that they employ.

In China most probably too. This country is fucking useless in getting things done on time to a budget and to the benefit of the general public

Regional scoreboard - if anyone cares today.

London 1500 - down from 1945

Yorks 3189 - UP from 2699

North West actually DOWN but only by a tiny number to 5137 from 5217

Doesn't really help control a deadly virus though.

If individuals feel they’re being crippled financially I somehow doubt they’ll care.

Ufortuntely Greater Manchester is up for a fourth straight day since this row started. So the percentage of cases in the NW total rose again.

After a week of falling numbers they are starting to look quite worrying.

For the firt time outside the catch up data days when all those extra cases were added GM has topped 2000 cases today. One tenth of the UK total.

At 2062.

Thats a near 50% increase over the weekend. And more than double where GM was 10 days ago.

We all should.

We're not going through all this just to piss off people in the north. It's happening to save lives.

Just closing your eyes to the reality of it isn't going to save lives or help people financially.

 

[york away to this!]

1,400 people die on average in this country every day anyway. About 17 people die on average every day falling down the stairs or off a chair at home.

How many chairs do you have?...

Have they gone into T3 ? I’m layout out with something and not put the news on

Four GM boroughs over 200 again today and several others not far below. Nobody below the 130s today.

We have had a very tough past few days in this county.

Neither does closing the hospitality industry when it isn’t proven that the rise in cases is down to that industry. MANY gyms, coffee shops and restaurants have ZERO cases!

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Becomes a time when people have to take responsibility for their actions and not just blame everybody and anybody

Agree with this.

If people are too thick to follow guidelines, then tough shit as far as I am concerned. It's time humans started taking resposibility for idiocy.

Sorry to hear that. But from Friday. So not yet. But imposed by government and with no deal or extra money beyond the £20 m for track and trace.

Remind me again when was the last time we had to build Nightingale hospitals for fear of the exponential growth in deaths from falling down the stairs?

To say yours is a lame argument is an insult to lames.

Good point.

Why does it have to be proven.

At some stage we either accept that other people have more information, more knowledge and more resources to manage the virus or we just give up and everyone does as they please.

Wonder if they'll have their conference at the GMEX any time soon. Although they'd probably enjoy that to see the result of their handiwork.

 

[moomba]

My only hope is that the money that they were prepared to spent is spent, but they're looking for ways to do it without the council involved.

If so (I'm not confident) it should have been made obvious, cause there's a whole lot of anger out there at the moment.

Joint statement from 5 different pub chains at the weekend stated that of 8 million visits to their 860 pubs (presumably since pubs reopened in early July) across Greater Manchester, the North West, and North Wales there hasn’t been a single case of Covid traced back to any of their pubs!
