:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ā“

Not sure I would call it a genius but it is a cunning little bastard - no symptoms for several days and highly contagious- if you were going to design a pathogen then it is a good foundation

Oh no. And off we go again… you mentioned it 1st!

As UK goes over 10,000 deaths, some context.

Canadian care home investigated after 31 deaths

Police in the Canadian province of Quebec have opened an investigation into a private care facility in Montreal where 31 people have died in the last month.

At least five of the 31 deaths were confirmed to be due to Covid-19.

Quebec Premier FranƧois Legault told reporters on Saturday there might have been ā€œgross negligenceā€ by management at the Residence Herron home.

When health officials inspected the facility at the end of March, they found the majority of staff had left and residents living in terrible conditions, without food and water, some lying in soiled beds. Those who were infected with the coronavirus had not been isolated properly.

ā€œIt’s not acceptable, the way we treat our elderly in Quebec," Legault said, according to the Globe and Mail.

"We’ve known nursing homes are understaffed, that people are underpaid, particularly in private homes… I’m not proud to see what’s happening.ā€

It’s the fail and some of this is bullshit writing. OBVIOUSLY Chinese container volumes are down, it takes up to 6 weeks to reach UK & they are only now coming out of lockdown.
Plus other bollox
However behind that is the fact the supply chain is in trouble and so are road haulage companies.

Anyone up for a conspiracy theory with very little evidence behind it - although sources are named…

Good. Thought so.

I suspect that is standard practice when treating any senior politico / royal

I shall file this in the bollox section of the bin

Here’s Dr Fauci saying that if the US had introduced social distancing earlier then obviously more lives would have been saved, but there were other pressures.

This is true of the UK as well.

Tougher measures, introduced more quickly would have saved lives. But the economy comes first. Cunts.

And the guardian have a report on the clip. It really is quite damming. The Dr has placed those deaths firmly at the door of Trump

Fauci confirms NY Times report Trump rebuffed social distancing advice

What I dont understand is how we not only locked down but pretty much voluntarily locked down so much earlier, both here & other EEU States.
& dont come up with the former Authoritarian regime bollocks, people here had brains and the WHO data.
And yes politics here is in full swing the ruling party want to run elections for President next month.
IMHO? Nations without massive Hedge Funds acted to protect their Citizens, not to give those Funds time to take up their positions

Probably not very ill. Not on ventilator or CPAP, should have been on ward not ICU. Not Churchill. Fucking Tory scum.

Lefty.

So, er, who fancies doing their final stretch in a care home?

EU data suggests half of all COVID-19 deaths are occurring there. Our government is releasing details of hospital deaths only.

I reckon underlying medical conditions will do me in long before anyone makes that call for me. That said, they’ve proven to be fucking lethal the minute something gets around.

I wonder if people of younger generations will see them quite the same way.

Your parents will know you don’t love love them when you try to tell them it’s for the best

My mother gave me my instructions in the event of her contracting it, right at the start of the outbreak. She coughed this morning, I was halfway towards her with the frying pan before she looked up and said ā€œoh, excuse me.ā€ :smile: :smile: Very close call, that.
