COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Get off your high horse. The issue with any face covering with those suffering severe / industrial asthma isn't necessary lack of oxygen. It brings on panic attacks, resulting in rapid, deep breathing which, left as is could bring on an asthma attack.

If you have ever had an asthma attack or felt unable to breathe properly, you may have a liitle more understanding, and perhaps sympathy

Without breath, there is no life and, sadly many have medical issues that hamper the ability to breathe normally.

Trust me, I have been there regularly and it is far from funny as your children watch you in tears as you gasp for air.

So please, stop this bullshit that you think you know that it's a piece of piss for non mask wearers to simply Don a visor.

Rant over

I have every sympathy with those who medically can't wear a mask. It's those protesters who are somehow linking it to freedom of speech and patriotism that do my nut in.

I think the problem is that the tiny proportion of the population who have a compelling reason such as you describe for not wearing a mask are vastly outnumbered by a load of cunts who just can't be arsed and think they don't need to follow the rules.

There is speculation that Dido Harding is to be made Chief Executive of NHS England. There’s nothing like rewarding failure.

Bit harsh that, I thought White Flag was a great tune and Eminem sampled one of her tunes in Stan which was one of his biggest hits,

6 months in and my brother in law has not seen his wife at all, even on video. She had a massive stroke 4 years ago(she is now 80 and he is 90) and she is entirely bedridden and can only move her right hand. The nurses haven't the time to hold a video call so he gets a phone call every other day.

It appears that the government has other priorities than to help people like this. Surely some systems could have been devised to help. He has been self isolating in the hope that this might help get him in sometime in the future.

That is not on, call and speak to the sister or care home manager and insist facetime ,if they can do phone calls then they can do those, be polite but insistent the other option is if he can wear a mask , gloves and social distance then they can see each other through an open window , he can decide if he wants to do that

She's a pretentious cow for calling herself Dido after the legendary founder and queen of Carthage when her real name's Diana.

She also had to resign her position as chief executive at Talk Talk when 4 million customers (me included) had their details stolen in a cyber attack.

Maybe Dildo would be more appropriate.

I give up if that is true , she failed in her last job, this job , is she getting it so she can shield the politicians I wonder

You shouldn’t be worn down by your thoughts, reality is testing enough, don’t compound it with your own premonitions & worse case scenarios

My thoughts are based around what the press have already leaked tbh.

Health Services Journal journalists are reporting that the Government are briefing against Simon Stevens and are looking to promote Dido.

Looking awkward for Oxford vaccine. US yet to give it the green light to restart trials and without trials how do we determine how significant the risk of adverse reactions are? Unfortunately we do not even know if the illnesses which the triallists had were vaccine related but it seems to have spooked the US regulators.
