Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[roydo]

I'm scared to look.

Its weird, cos other than London, the measurements have been regional.

The agenda you push is tired and bankrupt.

It's now orthodoxy that there is more than one source for this virus. You need to find another drum to bang out your Cold War BS.

Would advise you to read up on the CCPs response to getting told by various doctors there was a serious virus emanating long before the first reported case.

Until then, I don’t think you can really speak about the subject, and go round calling out government murderers with the authority that you do, whilst defending the CCP.

Out of interest, what is the death toll in Liverpool?

The celebration is for the quality of life our forefathers fought for us to have peace ....losing their lives v Hitler and his Jackboot tactics of life ......the survival of the fittest and a super race he was a Madman dictatorship.....

And it's been shoved down our throats ever since. 75 years ago.

Was coronavirus spreading in Europe last year?

The news that a French patient tested positive for Covid-19 in December means countries will have to go back and test old samples to try to pin down when the outbreak really began on their shores, experts have told RTÉ News.

"A “strange pneumonia” was circulating in northern Italyas long ago as November, weeks before doctors were made aware of the
novel coronavirus outbreakin China, one of the European country’s leading medical experts said this week.

“They [general practitioners] remember having seen very strange pneumonia, very severe, particularly in old people in December and even November,”
Giuseppe Remuzzi, the director of the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan, said in an interview with the National Public Radio of the United States.
“This means that the virus was circulating, at least in [the northern region of] Lombardy and before we were aware of this outbreak occurring in China.”

There could well be different strains that were circulating in Europe.

You'd wonder how they are so good at surpassing the virus in Asia (and we dont trust their numbers):

In my country (Lebanon, a 3rd World developing country with huge economical problems + 2 million refugees for small country, total population around 6 millions) we had our first confirmed case on February 21, February 29 we closed our schools/universities and banned gatherings, March 6 restaurants and pubs were closed, March 10 the first death with a total of 50 cases, March 15 we went into lock-down and closed our borders including the airport, on April 5 we started bringing in flights for Lebanese struck abroad, they all get tested at the airport and quarantined for 14 days, total cases 800 with 26 deaths, we had 20 deaths on April 10th, the past month we had 6 deaths, daily cases now are 2-3 locals and 20-30 from the travelers, our airport will remain closed (only bringing few flights per day for those who are stuck abroad with a strict policy of testing and quarantining), lock-down was removed 2 weeks ago, life is 70% back to normal.

Better Government? Better Scientists? Better Politicians and Experts!

Not really my Grandfather fought in the First World War hardly spoke about it joined under age as he was skint, came back settled in a job as a postman - died aged 63 after the affects of mustard gas ended up in an OAP home ....as we lived five in a 2 up 2 down ......
I always respect the people who fought for our country voluntarily, but I agree with you that if it happened again not many volunteers would step foreward, but no disgrace in having a 75th anniversary to remember how we gained freedom !
This Virus imo is worse than any war .......

The ONS/BBC only go up to 24th April , 397 deaths up to then.

No. Stop being dramatic and watch Dambusters on repeat.

It’s strange really, I know my grandad and a lot of his friends used to REALLY hate that we studied the war at school. Reasoning was that it was done, men that were ‘heroes’ should never had to be heroes in the first place, better to focus on the future etc. I didn’t understand it too much as a kid, but it really hit me yesterday.

This is the thing. That generation, the generation involved, never talked about it.

I found out fairly recently that my grandad (who is long gone now) was in the battle of the bulge. He drove a tank. At 19. But he never ever ever discussed it. Ever.

It’s the baby boomer generation that seem obsessed with the war.

Churchill was a eugenicist too.

Churchill was a eugenicist too.

So were most of the 1930s labour party, conservative party and liberal party. It was a respectable political position then. Times change.

You dont know what you're talking about.

I’m not sure times do actually change given the current zeitgeist.

No, we have no trust in the government and very average NHS, we saw what was happening in Iran and Italy and 1 week before the government declared the lock-down streets were empty and no one was going out, the government announcing the lock-down as a formality, i was amazed back then even reading the thread here days later that UK was still normal life and many in here were complaining avout the pubs being closed!
