COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Has there been any confirmation of the claims that the UK sent 50k tests to the US to be analysed? That seems bizarre on many levels.

Yes. A contingency which was put in place for an issue at a laboratory.

Doesnt it just. Its all very well the NHS saying they are available and open for all non Covid issues, but right now it does seem you are taking an almighty risk even setting foot into one. Very worrying indeed.

Going forward I wonder if we will have to have totally separate Covid hospitals away from other NHS establishmnets.

Even if we do that, I reckon it will end up like MRSA where it just magically appears and keeps killing a bunch of vulnerable people.

Just shows that you really don’t want to be anywhere near a hospital unless absolutely necessary.

there was a report (I can’t find the link now ) that suggested the r number in the general community was now really low and the virus largely under control.
The main place the virus was still thriving was hospitals and care homes.

I saw a bloke do the same, picking stuff up and throwing it back. He did it so often it looked deliberate to me, he was acting a bit odd.

They should bring a law in saying any thing you touch in a shop or supermarket YOU buy.

I understand people check dates and quality but this bloke appeared to be over the top.

Is it not a rule to wear gloves in food stores?

I meant adopting far east safety measures on public transport.

Masks should be mandatory, if you can actually get one. We all know they offer minimal protection to the wearer but they at least help that wearer spreading germs as far if they cough or sneeze.

Its main effect in Spain is to alert others that you have no concern for your own or other peoples lives so give those without masks an extra wide berth.
