Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

He speaks like a tory, hes utterly unlikeable.

Which means he'll probably win the next election then

Good news our side of the water, we have managed to secure another separate supply chain to enable us to do 100k tests a week, that brilliant when you think we have population under 4.9 mill.

That's hopefully a game changer for us in hopefully lifting lock down after the May bank holiday.

New kits from China will help Ireland significantly increase Covid-19 testing

Dr Paul O’Brien, a regulatory expert on China, has said that Ireland now has the capacity to perform extra Covid-19 tests thanks to equipment sourced in China.

Have to be honest mate, I know you find him funny, but it's Farage exposition transposed onto an Everton forum.

He needs to stop listening to LBC all day as a matter of urgency.

I`ve heard that other sources of news are available.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

And neither do you!
I am not saying he didn't test positive but some peoples symptoms are nothing more than a cold and I think that is what happened here. He used his mild symptoms of the virus to disappear from public view and will re-appear when it's all over singing the praises of the very people he intends to sell down the river to big US pharma, when employees will be given poorer and poorer contracts in return for a one off payment of a paltry sum, reduced investment and crap working conditions........ tis the way of things private.

If his symptoms were nothing more than a cold and he used those mild symptoms to disappear from public view, then surely there would have been plenty of people who would have loved to have come out at the slightest opportunity to put this out there mate?

He is ready to hammer the Govt over this you just wait and see, rumblings from the other parties are starting already, the Tories better pray these reports of 40k deaths are wrong.

Do you think it’ll matter though ? Someone will ‘reclarify ‘ the figures or what they’ve said , we’ll praise our NHS angels and give em a medal ,a minutes silence for those who died ‘on the frontline ‘ , ‘we all beat corona together ‘ on a T-shirt or a bus, the eu will have done something wrong , we’ll learn how we can all pull together in a crisis and manufacturing isn’t dead , it’s not the time to make political capital , it’ll make us stronger , nobody saw it coming , ‘Boris’ did this from his hospital bed ‘like Churchill ‘ and on and on.

Sadly I think it’s almost inevitable.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Ducking stools and Stocks are being erected in St James Park as a matter of urgency.

It`ll be a bit like Ninja Warrior, but just for Tory MP`s.

And @peteblue

 

[Joey66]

I’m not having a go but I’m genuinely gonna need a hand with that joe . What does he suggest ? Even a clue might help .

The very same guy who took us to war on Weapons of mass destruction that never existed .........then became a peace envoy for the Middle East - that man is a joke .....

 

[Joey66]

And @peteblue

No he's enjoying his birthday today he's opened a big beer tent in his village before the ale goes off .".......

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Blair spoke like a Tory with Labour values and won 3 terms.

Starmer is exactly the type who will get Labour elected again.

That's the thing mate, Starmer may not have been the type of leader a lot of Labour voters wanted because of his political leaning, but he is the type of leader they needed.

Yeh you go drive to walk. Still makes perfect sense.

Not me Nymz. I'm happy to walk miles every other day. I'm probably as fit now as I've been since I retired. I'm referring to the older and more infirm residents of my village, of which there are many.

Anyway I'm not getting back into that argument with you again. It's now been confirmed that people who need to are able to drive a short distance to be able to take exercise and self isolate properly. If that offends you it isn't my fault

 

[Harryflashman]

Our dear leader Johnson will be back and qualifying for Wimbledon in no time

 

[Brisan123]

News just broke out all the M motorway roads particularly down south more traffic on them early am today - a guess is the self employed are skint and are going back to work ....?
Then a USA guy on Facebook preach Covid 19 is a hoax and how he was persuading other people to go about their daily lives normally has just died.........of Covid 19...

Took a while and a couple of re reads but got there in the end
Were up up early this morning @Joey66 ? ,if so time for a mid morning nap before your typing deteriorates any more lol

 

[dublinbluenose]

So care home deaths double what was reported and false all clear on tests now as well.





BTW Ireland had some false all clear results as well about 2 weeks ago.
