Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[davek]

Not even sure who you're talking about now tbh mate!

If it's the PM, well he had the virus and was very ill. If its Whitty then I'm pretty sure he had the virus too. I think they had a fair enough excuse for being away from work.

Not sure why everything has to be so dramatic but carry on Dave

It's not drama, it's a correctly ordered sequence of events.

These people are hand in glove in the mishandling of a crisis which they've turned into a catastrophe.

Dave, they are not murderers, just scientists and medics trying to do their job while all the media are losing their heads...

Their mistakes have murdered people. You can choose another word for it if you like, I see it as wilful negligence and institutionalised murder.

Those two witch doctors and the Tory hierarchy should be standing trial for mass murder.

@MarcelsGoat

Ok a better way of putting it.

• 10000 die from Corona virus.
• 10000 die after testing positive for the coronavirus

Can you see the difference in the wording there? One is cause of death, the other isn't. Yet it's presented in a way where the latter means the former. If that makes sense?

So if the stories were focused on the infection rates , which is the key part in all of this , then the latter would be applicable in the narrative. Yet the articles focus on the number of deaths instead , so the latter is then not accurate.

Simple wording difference but two completely different meanings.

You see thats where we disagree, you want accurate reporting, I want fear, I want people to be scared to leave their house.

You just need @davek with a sandwich board and a bell stalking up and down your street.

As has pretty much every other leader in the World, no-one has handled this well, but what do you expect, it has never been seen before!

So how do you suggest it be dealt with?

If you are able to take off the anti Borus goggles for a few minutes and give a concise plan for effective containment and maintaining an economic and life balance then I'm all ears but all you seem to be able to do is berate anyone who disagrees with you!

I tell you what mate; you position me as a flat earther, but it's not my world view that's been found wanting in this crisis, it's yours.

I doubt very much you can now mount a case for carrying on with the way society was ordered pre-crisis; I, on the other hand (and others), can very much argue that our critique of that grotesque mess has been vindicated.

Maybe you should give some thought to the wording of your own sandwich board?

Look at Germany.

That's the European gold standard.

Why couldn't we have prepared like that?

There is NO EXCUSES, so stop handing these butchers one.

What will be the deadly plan next?

It’s already in operation.

Leighton Baines is secretly importing thousands of Chinese bats and letting them go in areas that voted Labour in the last election.

Not having the least ICU beds in europe, not enough PPE and having the worst testing set up in europe would be a nice place to start, despite having the most time out of any nation in europe. Granted some of these issues are a culmination of a long time of negligence go beyond this pandemic, but the fat chinless cousin fcuker is complicit in that as well

Doctors, surgeons and scientists make mistakes all the time, and people die as a result. You just don’t normally get to hear about it. One day a scientist in one of the numerous infectious disease labs around the world will make a really big mistake and we will all die, it won’t be murder, just a really bad mistake.....

Prepared like what. How are Germany measuring and recording deaths, when did they start. Germany also doesn’t have centralised health nor testing facilities, they use lots of private companies for the testing. Is this the ‘gold standard’ you aspire to ?.....

I believe Eire had even fewer ICU beds per 100,000 people and had to get China to fly in loads of ppe kit....
