1/4 of the people that have died had diabetes yet this wasnt on the shield list. I actually am surprised as I swear I thought it was. The father in law has diabetes and despite no letter we all knew he should be shielding.
Rather worryingly, Australia are seeing an increase in cases as they ease lockdown gradually, where they have had good control thus far. Wait for the *hitstorm to hit the UK when schools go back and more and more people go back to work etc. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=12332426
Lockdowns, easing lockdowns, tightening up lockdowns, opening schools, closing schools, go to work, don’t go to work, wear a mask, don’t wear a mask, personally I think this is going to be here until a vaccine or antidote or whatever is found, the world is in hiatus and I think no matter what Governments around the world do we are f*cked until we have a cure. We can all blame different people, some will say world leaders have handled it right / wrong, some will say blame science, some will say blame WHO, i personally say it’s about time the whole f*cking world blames China, it doesn’t matter what central governments in each country does or doesn’t do, this is going to be here for a long, long time and in the end the only people to blame are the f*cking Chinese, be it their disgusting wet markets, their dodgy experiments in labs or whatever they did that caused it, I don’t care THEY ARE TO BLAME, they kept it quiet until it was too late, they lied to the world and it’s about time the whole world held them responsible. They have ****ed our economies, they have poisoned our people, they have killed loved ones, they will continue to do this s*hit, 3 out of the last 4 major pandemics, NH 51 (bird flu ) SARS, now this COVID19 have originated behind the bamboo curtain. We as a species have to make them pay, and it’s simple don’t buy their s*hit, they f*cked us lets f*ck them, no more cheap shoddy goods, no more them f*cking our economies, killing our people, the world needs to follow The Australian Government and demand recompense, we need to turn them into a Pariah state until they start to f*cking behave. If it means I have to pay a bit more for something made in the UK, so be it , it helps our manufacturing and economy and it f*cks theirs, they need to learn that the people of the World will no longer stand for their s*hit. Excuse language, rant over !!!
Providing it doesn’t use old Granny Smiths cat Tiddles or the local bat population, better still cook it yourself.
In addition to my earlier Rant, breaking news.............. The Chinese ambassador to Israel has been found dead at home, no cause of death announced, but I’m going with either suicide caused by embarrassment of his countries behaviour, or a stronger possibility that his death was caused by Mossad in retaliation for Covid19 !!!!
Shameful death count, scandalous abandonment of care homes, mixed and confusing communications, weak and ineffective policy, manipulation of data to hide true performance, hiding data, constant failure to deliver self imposed targets, lying on a daily basis. Lovely elderly lady on the radio who first had her cancer treatment delayed and then had it cancelled, and it is now inoperable. She’s not criticising, she’s talking about the Archers. Thank god we have protected the NHS.
As keeps being said by some let's concentrate on the situation over here whenever there is any criticism of America. Let's not deflect from what's going on here. It is in the power of our elected politicians to do something about this. I'm sure the Con-artist party with Boris at the helm will find an obvious way of rallying the world to punish China for its failures. Or then again probably not. They may not be no1 in the list but I'm sure they will be portrayed as 'our friends in...............' In the meantime we can all judge the evidence we have seen and be presented with about the errors made in the handling of this pandemic in this country by our politicians.
It’s a phenomenal achievement to have all this capacity during a pandemic when services are so overstretched in a normal winter. Makes you think.
I do try to keep up but don't recall anyone mentioning this before. So here goes. The accepted wisdom seems to be that children fare much better than adults when exposed and /or become infected by Covid-19 and, as we know there are many who are lucky enough to be completely asymptomatic. The principles behind social distancing are based precisely on that working assumption. Just because someone has no obvious symptoms is no guarantee that they are not. Trust no one. So let's open the schools. Child A who is not infected comes into contact with Child B who is and is thereby infected. A takes it home where in turn mummy and daddy hug him and become infected. A suffers no symptoms but one or both parents become seriously ill and die. The family has downloaded the app and A has it on his mobile so whoever is responsible for tracing can accurately trace it back to the first contact with B. Okay. I know there are quite a few assumptions here but I'm with Boris here and am happy to be optimistic and 'unleash the potential'. Has the government or its scientific advisers considered the potential psychological trauma on both Child A and Child B which they will live with for the rest of their lives due to the feelings of guilt at having caused the death of their loved ones even though they personally have nothing to be guilty about. The siren voices of the politicians and the lunatics such as Corbyn's brother well that's another matter entirely.
