Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Jebus_lives]

The FT has a very good graphic where you can compare the average rolling 7 day new infections numbers for any countries you want. Looking at this, the curves for Germany, Italy, France and Spain are all on a downward trajectory. The UK's isn't. It has flat-lined for a while now. Until it shows a definite downward trend there is no data based reason to significantly alter the lock-down.

The finest UK paper

No Dave, we just like to laugh at you.

Just seen the Eat Your Knob thread title.

That scares and intrigues me. Reckon I will stay here. It feels safer .

Top moderating lol lol lol

 

[roydo]

What's this?

Primates, at 8.15 on BBC 1. It is terrific.

Its almost like they are trialling their post Attenbourgh natural history output. It works.

Back on topic. No monkeys got the virus.

 

[Kenshin]

Has anyone received any furlough money yet? If so was it paid automatically by your employer or did you have to apply?

My mum works in the leisure industry and they have announced from their head office in Malaysia or wherever it is that they will no longer be paying the 20% of the wages after June

Not sure if that's legal or not but there you go.

Saw an article today saying they might have uncovered a direct correlation with low vitamin D levels and COVID deaths.

Made a lot of sense reading through it, though I'm no expert. Not a cure, but maybe a reason why some die and others dont. Could be rubbish... who knows.

Google trends showing it's a very popular search term, and will probably be more expensive than gold by next weekend, if not already.

Definitely one for any expecting parents, might be wise to have the vitamin D shot asap for the little one.

 

[Barnfred 55]

Lowest UK daily death toll since March.

Just in time for Boris to announce later.

Rather handy that.

Not unexpected in fairness mate. The weekend figures have been coming down steadily.

It's not on a par with the 100k tests fiasco

Apparently there are rumours circulating that certain cabinet members are unhappy at the way de piffle has handled this "announcement" Pre recorded TV speech written before the cabinet met today, no scrutiny by Parliament, or the media. No wonder his handlers know that any such scrutiny would expose him as the bumbling lie merchant he really is. Expect Gove to be promoted by the Murdoch press as his replacement.
"We need more lerts in this country.....go out, do what you like, as long as you get back to work ya lazy feckers"
Expect this to be the tone of his "message"
lol

 

[TheSecondComing]

time to divide and conquer lads.

Lazy lefties who are on “holiday”.

Then the Glorious right who will get the country going

 

[Charro]

Anyone who is still defending the UK government's reaction to the virus has clearly lost the argument.

Anyone who isn't aware that the CCP engaged in a massive cover up when the first cases appeared as early as November is also onto a loss.

Funny because I first became aware of a potential cover up through a left wing publication, as well as the appalling treatment of the Uighur Muslims.

Cheers. I’m asking for my 17 year old daughter. She works part-time in the local pub and hasn’t heard a peep to date.

Wife works in payroll she said all furlough payments went on usual payment date as they normally would and her company claim it back from government. Thats what is supposed to happen but if the bar she works at as no money they may only pay when they get it.

 

[AncelottLee]

Give me a kick anytime tomorrow, (PM), to remind me, and I will give him a call and see whats going on, moving wise.

That’s great thank you mate

Don't hear the blame game of the various influenza viruses that jump out of intensive animal farming...

Like many we have all become a little more aware of viruses. And reading and watching, it was obvious this going to happen and the world was being warned by various experts for some years. Some countries heeded and were better prepared...

I've sat and endured many of the COVID briefings, often they put out, we will get this wrong at times it's an unknown virus etc. However, the Chinease dealing with this month's earlier right at the coal face are not afforded the same grace on the virus... If that's not at best subconscious racism don't know what is.

The obsession with pinning this on China is just a deflection from the criminally bad attempt by the UK Government to control this virus.

All the experts know it's risible to try and pinpoint a single location for a pandemic; they know that it's a linear progression from before the first known and chronic led occurence.

Can’t listen to this tool speak so someone fill me in with what wham he spouts please.
