Coronavirus

This guy

 

... my reference there was aimed more at the likes of Trump and his disparaging remarks ...

 

Citizens are not responsible for levels of testing and ensuring front line workers have adequate PPE ... that falls squarely down to governments ...

 

That is true...and I share that unease.
My only issue was the idea that doubting the Chinese Government's figures was "rooted in xenophobia" as I think that are valid reasons for doubting the honesty of that government.

 

BBC article this morning revealing details of a leaked letter from ADASS (Association of Directors of Adult Social Services) to a senior official at the Department of Health and Social Care saying the mixed messages from government have created "confusion and additional workload".

On PPE for care workers, the letter says the national handling has been "shambolic". Early drops of equipment described as "paltry".

****ing bunch of Trotskyite Remainers eh?

 

I now join the cult of brb. Toby brings nothing, little digs and runs off when you have a go back. Good one @brb

 

Who's up for this?

 

We don't include Care Home deaths, France do. The ONS data just 2 days ago showed the actual UK data continues to be massively understated. It was 50% higher. But as I've said you can ignore the Care Homes deaths if they don't matter to you.

I suppose we should just say and do nothing until a year from now. In the meantime we're losing 700-800 a day. Germany anywhere between 20 to 90 a day. I doubt they're under-reporting 12,000 deaths mate unless you've got evidence to suggest otherwise?

Each day we lose that disproportionately higher amount and our overall deaths increase disproportionately we shouldn't be asking what the government is doing about it? It's only numbers.

Trump reckons the US has passed the peak for coronavirus.

Number of deaths from Covid 19 in the U.S. went up 2336 yesterday.

 

Does that not leave a bad taste in your mouth?

 

Explain

 

Don’t think any explanation is necessary frankly. Work it out for yourself.

 

No, if you're gonna have some sort of dig, just say it.

 

I just saw your response after posting above. That was a day after the death toll went up by over 2300 in one day! The bloke's first responsibility is to safeguard his population. He's a vile **** who does not give a **** who lives who dies as long as it does not impact on him.

 

Just say what? I asked you a fairly simple question. You don’t have to answer though, if you don’t want to.

 

He has already got the country divided over this issue. Michigan had a rally yesterday, demanding the state is “reopened”
Part of me wants the country to re-open and then suffer the consequences, but that’s not fair on the millions of Americans who will suffer through no fault of their own.

 

It tastes like raspberry sorbet. Which is a shame as my favourite flavour is mango
