COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Nellies left peg]

Good friend got moved off children ward at stepping hill, to covid ward. Given all the kit in advance for seven days straight, 12 hours no phones. Started at 7 this morning and is gonna give me daily updates. Might help give us a daily insight as to how bad or not it is in this area.

Good luck and give them our best wishes and thanks

This says it all. A private employer acquires tens of thousands of testing kits for its employees whilst the UK Govt is completely incapable of doing likewise for healthworkers. There is zero political will in the Cabinet to fight this. They just want to ride it out.

if a private employer can acquire tests for its workers, why can't the state for the healhworkers?

Could be the supplier who’s accuracy is only 30%, in other words fuckin dangerous

China started to lock down after 20 deaths and around 600 overall cases. I don’t think the west reacted quickly enough, given they can’t lockdown to the extent China can and still left it much longer in the cycle.

Yeah, but West (specially USA and last 2-3 days UK) politicians and media are trying to blame China for their slow reaction. I've seen a title on DailyFail today with words of one of your politicians that their secrecy was the reason of slow UK reaction which is utter bollocks as the seriousnyess of China situation was known back in January while the real outbreak in West happened in last week of February and most countries were still woefully unprepared and slow to react despite having more than 30 days to do a lot. And it's becoming obviously concerted effort to put the blame of slow reaction and wrong moves on someone else, in last 2-3 days there are numerous articles in Fail with similar tones.

Got a couple of friends working in the same hospital. Described wards as being eerie as no visitors etc. Doesn't sound like they are overwhelmed, though one's ward was only converted last week so may be populated once the others are full.

Not shit but deliberately designed so they have to be replaced with an upgraded version. Wankers

Some people really are selfish/stupid/irresponsible.

I could tell this was a Polish party by the way the meat was laid out, and that's before I even saw the items with Polish writing on them.

I know. But that was a batch of 6,000 or so. Little has been said on how effective they are, or whether they are related to the products coming out of the USA. There's a British version too. That's what I want the british press to do but they don't seem to follow up on the interesting questions. It maybe that PHE are leaving well alone for good reason, but let's hear why, otherwise people like me will think this is a potential way forward, and the UK Government will be seen as laggards.

I know the Daily Mail brigade on here are keen to blame the Chinese for everything but we've had months to ready ourselves for this and all we've got is let it be. Beatles did that in the 60s.

So presumably the dibble just spoke to them quietly for fear of seeming racist
