Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

I'm going to be doing the shopping for relatives for the foreseeable whilst this godforsaken yoke is with us.

Don't know if this is the right place to put, but was just wondering is there any precautions I can take whilst I'm doing this? Delivered a small shop to one of them after work yesterday, obviously just left it at the door, just want to know is there other steps I should or could be taking.

Stay safe folks.

China’s treatment of the Uighur Muslims tells you everything you need to know about their government and what they’re capable of.

We've been beholden to China ever since the full state visit of 2015, a state visit of such magnitude that Trump would have wet his tena pad over.

Chinese state visit: up to £40 billion deals agreed

From 20 to 23 October 2015 the UK welcomed President Xi Jinping to London for the first state visit from China in 10 years.

Opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was much criticised for organising allowing the red carpit visit it to happen. There was not much PM Cameron or London Mayor Johnson could do about it, apart from welcome uncle XI and his monies and sign various trade deals, and write surperlatives in the Telegraph about Britain embracing a new relationship with China.

Thanks for them ll, I was also thinking of doing them some meals that would be easy for them to reheat, good idea or unnecessary risk ?

I don't think I have it but I've heard the mantra 'act as though you do' more than once, which I pretty much have been, besides going the shops which has to be done.

....as many will know, my daughter is an NHS Consultant surgeon with a key specialism at this time. She’s an average size but has yet to be given a face mask that passes the fit test.

it’s the reality of what front-line staff are having to put up with.

Just a quick question, are the golf courses all closed back home?

If you mean the UK yes, and it’s bloody annoying, especially with the fantastic weather. How can strolling around a golf course on your tod be a danger to you or anyone?

So dogs can detect a ‘smell’ that a human gives off when infected by a virus? Wow.

The can probably smell that it came from somebody eating their cousin.

...suspect you’re not being serious, but the virus can be left on surfaces and if sports facilities are to be used, it means putting at risk those who maintain them.

The one by me ( Allerton Manor ) seems to be letting people have a knock around on the 18 hole, as long as the numbers stay very very low.

The club isn`t open and there are no flags on the green, but I`ve seen quite a few lads having a knock around by themselves and the green keepers seem okay with this, as they`re not chasing them. ( that I`ve seen )

The Shadow Minister for Mental Health (a working Dr) is being interview on BBC1 and she’s all but advocating that NHS staff should refuse to work without PPE.

While I completely appreciate her worries and concerns, I wonder if Labour will come out with a clarifying message after this because this could be a big issue.

Only if the Chinese haven't ate them first

You should have talked her out of it before she enrolled if that’s your attitude. Nurses have to potentially put themselves in dangerous conditions daily, it’s a risk of the job.
