A like doesn't seem appropriate. Sorry for you mate. Glad this lunatic asylum helps a bit.
dear Summerbuzz,
Our thoughts are with you and everyone who has lost loved ones so tragically and indeed those who are still battling the disease.Please keep strong and apologies for my stupid post about going to Newquay it was meant to show how dickish people are
 
No it's not fucking easy.
But to tell everyone to observe social distancing.
Then show a clip with people sat next to each other.
If it came to it yes leave one at home if they had too.
Do the round with 2 people not 3
That would take nearly twice as long, so you'd only get your bin emptied half as often.

They should be wearing masks but they'll be behind the care home workers in the council's queue for PPE.
 
the tv programmes are completely hypocritical.

gmtv had dr Hilary on the other day with Lorraine stressing how important it was to stay home and although it’s Easter , Easter eggs and visiting family will have to wait . A very serious piece.

they then said but it’s not all bad here’s a little vid to cheer you up. They then showed a video of a little girl delivering Easter eggs to everyone on her street.

they then said or isn’t that nice then realised oh social distancing was observed on that video.

so now we all know CV does not pass on Easter eggs !!!

Nice to see good morning is still essential viewing and Phil and holly are broadcasting live each day. Is that news show ???
How about the twats with fluffy mics on sticks.
Their was one the other day. Stood below someone leaning out of an upstairs window with this thing hoisted in the air!
Just as well have said to him, " 'ere mate. Gob on me swab "
Seriously, how fucking stupid are these people ?

Seen that,interviewing someone in a 1st floor flat.Then he probably went to a care home to interview some oldies and stuck his fluffy mic up their noses
 
Begs the question. Why was there not enough provision in the first place? Why the need to retest?
I was involved in regional multi agency pandemic planning in 2009/10. We planned for different forms of pandemic including the different types of body bags different pandemics may require. We had NHS, police , social care and education drawing up action plans, identifying key workers, vaccine priorities etc. Medical equipment priorities were drawn up. I assumed (maybe wrongly) this was happening across the country. Spoke to someone still connected in that line of work who said it all went nowhere. An early victim of austerity measures...
From what I have read particularly on the NHS thread on BM forum, this is the problem. Some Trusts are world class but others are not. Some Trusts have departments that are world class but other departments are not.
The inability to get a working integrated computer system is also instrumental in being unable to isolate the inefficiency constraints.

Perhaps from a normal commerce point of view the need to write off the NHS debt at least allowed firms that dealt with NHS some sort of guarantee they would be paid.
 
Brain dead? Nice phrase in the circumstances of foreign workers on our front line.
You and your likers need to think. Just look at the list of NHS staff who've died.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/04/07/nhs-staff-died-coronavirus-frontline-workers-victims/amp/
Brain disease can be the the only explanation for Momentum's absurd link between Brexit and BoJos' hospital treatment, but this sort of contamination should be in another thread. I think everyone is only too aware of the huge sacrifices and courage of front line workers in the NHS plus many other organisations and companies. We can all well do without that tragic human cost being used as a cheap political slogan.
 
On my way to Newquay in a minibus with 7 other surfers and the m6 and m5 are really quiet. We all all have really dry coughs so hopefully the fresh air will do us good. Looking forward to a nice bbq on the beach tonight all gathered round the camp fire
Dont confuse a temperature with the heat from the bbq
 
Too many arbitrary assumptions to make this anything like reliable. For a start, a death toll of 4 is way too low to extrapolate anything meaningful from. Were they unlucky and only 2 of those 4 would normally die, then the whole thing is miles out. Not to mention different countries' hugely varying deaths/cases ratios. Also if your "you only test positive for 2 weeks" is accurate. Again, huge bearing on the numbers.

You may be right, or you could easily be out by a factor of 2 or 3 or more. Maybe even 10x out.

That said, Witty reckoned we had 5,000 to 10,000 infected when we had 10 dead, which would seem compatible with your figures. So who knows.
Correct. We simply won't know till we have an antibody test and deploy it in large numbers.
