Absolutely.. The stubborn nationalistic dogmatism has no place. In this crisis.. UK Government can be so arrogant
Hang on One in Seven of affected people are health care professionals..??? Many health care professionals around the world have died due to the viral load...
Another's touching message from my friend in Ireland with CV.. This evening I read a very sad, and for me depressing post, of a healthy man who got a cough on Saturday and died on Tuesday. I got a fever on Saturday, and here I am.. Then, as I was about to go to bed and coughed, I got shirty. I mean shirty. RIGHT, you ****ing coronavirus, as I donned fuzzy jumper and pushed eucalyptus up my nose, and got hot water to send down another 5gr of vit C, I've had enough of this. Now sod off. The hot water is already causing liquid to come up. This bastard is even up to making the fever go away, so it can finish you off without one. It's going to be a long haul. For all of us. Keep vigilant, keep safe, everyone.
And that is ok.. According to your logic?? What a delightful first post of the day from you.. Maybe a refreshing walk to remember the wonder if this life might help. I have just done mine and heart goes out this morning to all those who are suffering..
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...t-disabled-autism-nice-covid-19-a9423441.html Another example of how our beautiful new society manifests itself. Not even flinching in their discrimination against disabled people, they’re still reeling they can't differentiate need for ventilators using colour charts.
Yorkshire, genuine question. Given your vulnerability, why do you go out for a walk? Matej is vulnerable as I've said, and I thought the advice for the vulnerable was to stay inside (obviously he’s allowed in the garden).
As long as i don't encounter people or go in any public buildings I am ok to go out.. And actually i had been in the garden first thing We have a veg plot at the back so it is quite good.. I am like many with diabetes in the middle group and my GP personally advised me to self isolate. I hope what I am doing is OK...
I remember when my stepfather 96 had kidney failure.. And the ward dr said she would talk to the ITU consultant as he Could go into ITU and then go on dialysis... And the word came back.. No... He was too old... He died a week later off sepsis.. Hard hard decisions...
Self isolation doesn't have to be done at home Yorkie. Those living in towns are at more risk but if you live in more remote areas the risk is lessened - simply talking to somebody outside in the open air (from a respectable distance) is not going to present any risk. If you feel people are too close to you then sneeze or cough loudly and sing a little ditty in Italian. Unfortunately we cannot statistically find out exactly where every infection took place but I would have a guess and say that most took place within 4 walls. Also flying virus's are subject to weight and gravity - so avoid people who are taller than yourself - you will not be infected by a dwarf ! The most endangered people are those working as cashiers because they are sitting at a lower level than their customers - supermarkets should be protecting these employees with plexiglass barriers, but most aren't - not even here, which has more cases than in the UK.
Unfortunately it will be down to resources ultimately, horrendous decisions await the health workers soon, I'm absolutely raging when I hear these tory ministers spouting their spin ;wonderful nhs ( which they've decimated in order to privatise ) ppe ,which is inadequate but loads being dekivered, ventilators which they've only just tried to procure ;along with every other country in the world ,the benefit system had been pared to the bone and can't cope, same with tax people ,the ten years of cuts is going to hurt many many millions more now
The supermarkets here had set up, or were in the process last Friday of setting up screens for the cashiers. If possible do not pay with cash, and if within the limit use the contactless card payment system so as to not touch the buttons was the request at the checkout. Nice to see that until yesterday purchase of ventilators was on hold in the UK despite various companies being set up to produce them. I don't think that Dyson having something different in the research stage was stopping the orders, or could it be? He must be very thankful seeing as his business was just about on its knees.
Yes, rudebwoy. And if I was 96 and there was a choice between me getting the aid or someone of even 86, I’d be content. But why the choice? Why do have a society where people can squander our resources on Bentleys, rather than making enough dialysis machines?
Well, this is very interesting from @nicholaswatt – the govt is changing the way it is releasing death figures, which “may not actually be the deaths that have taken place over the last 24 hrs” as family consent is now required: This makes no sense, it can’t be an anonymity issue - there are sadly far too many deaths for that - so why is consent needed for *aggregated* data? Transparency, accurate dating and timeliness are overwhelmingly in the public interest here. To be honest this looks like a government trying to massage the figures for its own PR.
agree totally my friend , we have our priorities upside down in a capitalist system , particularly a neo liberal one
