COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[sir baconface]

last time I looked there was a big wet bit in between us and Brittany Ferries and P&O have shut down their passenger services.

Who do you mean by “us”, Denis?

Is that the country you disparaged a few pages ago for introducing BSE and CJD to the world, and whose products you said you wouldn’t buy?

Because of my coughing at night i am watching CNN,it is quite interesting to get a different perspective,it is fun watching this guy find ways to say things about the orange ones prattlings without including the word bollocks,ha

Trump is funny. I look forward to his press conferences although some speakers drag on. Dr Burke and Fauci are very good.

The close down of the services industry would have freed a huge amount up though.

Manufacturing industry is probably using less water too. Hopefully the two will counteract staff absence in the water sector.

Are you still not showing signs of improvement?
Been over a month now, have you had a phone appointment with a doctor. ?
More vitamin C.

One of the biggest worries from the figures today is the testing.

Only 10,000 a day getting tested is awful and ridiculous. Making the spread much harder to contain.

Germany are so far ahead of us on that front.

And what did Western countries do in January and February? Fiddled while the virus burned.

They thought they'd sit tight and infect the herd. What they should have been doing was develop a testing strategy on the lines of South Korea as advised by the WHO. We can't test our own healthworkers, and we're criticising China?

Up till January 22nd the Chinese were still insisting to international bodies that there was no indication of human to human transmission, they already strongly suspected with cases it was H2H on the 1st December as no contact with wet markets on cases they were seeing in hospital.

Surely you can see that this misinformation (polite word for lie) played an significant role in the West’s policy to this.

I think this will finish the small pub trade some will never open again

They’ve been closing at a rate of 18 a week for the last two years, so no change there really. On the plus side, once the restrictions are lifted the country will be on the piss for a fortnight...

Well Trump sent 18 tonnes of PPE to China and tweeted to thank Pres. Xi.

Germany changed strategy. German press have seen a strategic document that suggests that Germany intends to test their way out of it. They've left it very late in the day.
