I saw Michael Moore talking about it on the telly and felt so sorry for the people of Flint as water is something that we all need on a daily basis for survival. I can't believe the Federal Government didn't just step in and start issuing warrants all over the place due to the sheer number of people who are affected.
There was/is another major disaster involving DuPont and local rivers in West Virginia as well. You seriously need to get a grip of your politicians over there mate, they just ain't doing you any favours.
Over the last 10 years in US highest flu deaths were estimated to be 61,000 in 17/18 and usually much less.
Burden of Influenza
Learn about how CDC estimates the burden of seasonal influenza in the U.S.www.cdc.gov
Current US estimate is 100-200k from coronavirus “best case scenario” so if that is correct it will be much worse than a bad flu year.
Seriously. The flu comparisons are doing my head in.
Holding back ginger temper can’t be good for my health.
These arent instead of the flu, these are as well as the flu, the car accidents, the cancers, the people just dropping dead.
Mind-boggling.
Gloves don’t help unless you change them as often as you would/should wash/sanitize your hands.
Touch your face with a glove on and you are just as infected as without the glove.
Thank goodness, the poor captain has probably waved goodbye to his career with the letter but at least he will have saved many of his crew’s lives. Did the Navy just think they could wait a few weeks with a highly contagious virus in the small confines of a ship?!

Nearly 3,000 sailors will be taken off a U.S. aircraft carrier in the coming days, Navy leaders said Wednesday, after the ship's captain penned a letter pleading for help to end a coronavirus outbreak on board.
“We think that there was a communications breakdown potentially with the crew of the Theodore Roosevelt, but when we became aware yesterday morning of these concerns we made sure that we were meeting expectations,” Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday said at a Pentagon briefing. “I think the misunderstanding, perhaps, was the requirement at speed to get people off the ship,” he added later.
Gilday’s comments alongside acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly come a day after a letter from USS Theodore Roosevelt commander Capt. Brett Crozier leaked in the media, showing him warning of dire consequences if most of the sailors on the ship aren’t evacuated. “We are not at war. Sailors do not need to die,” Crozier wrote. “If we do not act now, we are failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset — our sailors.”

Well yes like I said common sense. Sorry, not meaning to be ignorant. I'm stressing there has to be common sense everywhere.
In my household the three of us are all using disposable gloves if we go anywhere - I'm having to help my mum care for my grandma so am using the disposable gloves to go the shop or what not. Have hand sanitizer in our cars and I'm washing my hands after touching anything other than what's in my house - and even then I'm washing more regularly than I would.

Looks like we were lied to again by the Govester and Boris Johnson. It turns out there is no shortage of chemicals for the re-agents for testing according to the British Chemical Industries Association. They are still awaiting an order for said chemicals re. News at Ten. For a man who has spent his entire working life telling whoppers of the highest order, clearly he still isn't very good at it.
Sad that this man is a British Prime Minister.

same for us and I work in a pharmaceutical factory, hand scanner in and out, complained about it but they have put, hand sanitizers either side, before and after use.
That makes sense. Is it really 25%, though? Do you have a source for that?

For once, I was right.
Superb cake although the husband might be getting it thrown in his face!

I'm convinced that Obama did nothing in Flint because some DNC think tank told him that Becky the swing voter in Iowa wouldn't like it if he was helping out a majority black city (which makes it even more pathetic). This is why the democratic party while 1000% elephants better than the other group, is terrible and will lose the next election. sure most of them in and around didn't vote for Trump, they stayed home (oh and Hillary lost Michigan by a few thousand votes).
