COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[i8rags]

Agree with this. I just switched Sky News on and what's going on is just farcical. How do we justify keeping schools and businesses shut and restricting everyone's movements when we allow something like this to go ahead? What's even more ridiculous is i'm seeing people on social media who were advocates of a lockdown also in attendance.

Ironic their chanting black lives matter, considering the risks. Suppose enough is enough for them.

Unfortunately my Dad is now in ICU

Sorry to hear this
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
The chances of survival now are so much higher than they were. Less go to to needing oxygen and less need to go onto ventilator treatment.

These numbers are still staggeringly high. Both infection and death rates are tragic at this stage of the pandemic. Shows how much of a shambles this has been handled right from the start, just awful.

Not sure how much longer I can believe there's some technical error and they can't give numbers of new people tested either. As usual, they'll be hiding something. I repeat that Johnson used the word 'transparent' when detailing how this should all be handled. More fool you if you believe him and his like.

Deaths are from 3 to 4 weeks ago and 89 are from hospital audit processes.
The good new is that care home deaths arre now finally coming down.
There is a slight uptick in new cases but a massive number of tests took place yesterday so maybe nothing to worry about.

They could have worn face coverings to chant for fucks sake.

The irony is, their actions will help spread Sars-Cov-2 which kills a disproportionate number of BAME people.

Sometimes you just gotta protest???
Even if it’s about something in a country thousands of miles away and your in the middle of a pandemic
These people are dicks

Fucking hell. People can’t go to watch their footy team, can’t even go for a haircut, kids can’t go to school... 1800+ new cases of Covid every day, 300+ deaths most days from Covid... then you get this farcical situation for some shit that’s going on in a different country.

If it was happening in London I’d kind of, but not fully by any stretch, think it was acceptable... but it’s all happening 4000 miles away from here... GO HOME! You’re doing nothing but endangering lives in this country where it’s just about the most multiculturally safe and open country in the entire world.

We don’t need to be out in the streets and parks protesting! Nobody in the US gives a shit about us and barely any of them would even ever hear of people here protesting in their favour. So what’s the fucking point?!

The Country was pretty much together until Cummingsgate (compared to the divisions that existed since Brexit). Most people were giving the Government the benefit of the doubt even though it was apparent that our response was inferior to most Countries.

Not really inferior, just later.

The thing is, with all the technology we have these days, they could’ve organised a protest that involves social distancing and not even leaving your garden. Just do something that’s a twist on the NHS clapping. Loads more would feel compelled to join in too and it would send a powerful message out while respecting all the guidelines into the bargain.
