Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Blair was sharp enough to know that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and we only had 45 minutes.

Like that worried you did it? You would have been supportive of bombing the Iraquis into oblivion wouldnt you? Blair was a red tory but he had more talented reople in his cabinet than the current shower of intellectual pygmies you support.

Oh no of course not I just meant they're not really the chatty public people you get in European countries from what I've seen.

They are certainly more reserved until you get to know them and then the sake flows....

My wife has become quite a dab hand at using the Wahl clippers and scissors. She's even able to do a reasonably good fade on the side!

PM me her number please mate

I'll be honest that I did make her watch a good few YouTube videos beforehand and our son was her guinea pig once or twice.

When everything seemed to be going well and she had adequate experience, I let her have a go. Still, I'll be right back to the barbers when I can do!

If we had a dog I'd make her try it out on him first

North West deaths from Covid19 increasing.

Lifting the lockdown is utter madness.

It is but it can’t be sustained keeping the country on lock until September or beyond, the entire country would be bankrupt

The idea was to open up and then shut down again if there's a spike....we're seeing that now after the unofficial easing of lockdown began after the murderer first started talking about 'stay alert' rather than 'stay at home'.

A take from today's briefing (at my hospital) that I think @Bruce Wayne will like. This thought was born from analysis from our own patients that show well over 90% had at least one "high risk" comorbidity and a average BMI 33 (I'm not arguing BMI with anyone - none of these folks are muscle bound gym rats)

Moving forward we need to concentrate on folks being in better overall health to help in preventing/limiting, if not the spread, then the serious cases of COVID.

That won't happen with our current administration as it would mean improving social determinants of health and this list does not even whisper GOP priority

1. Income and social status
2. Employment and working conditions
3. Education and literacy
4. Childhood experiences
5. Physical environments
6. Social supports and coping skills
7. Healthy behaviors
8. Access to health services
9. Biology and genetic endowment
10. Gender
11. Culture
12. Race / Racism

One of those things that really should be obvious isn't it, yet we still have health systems set up primarily to mend us when we're broken rather than keeping us fit in the first place.

If you are right, what does that say about the quality of Labour, who the Tories hammered into their worst defeat since 1935?

I would like to say a second spike won’t happen but I don’t even know anymore, we are living in a somewhat selfish country after all. Right now I’m just praying the 7 day averages continue to fall and that non essential shops, including my own workplace, can adhere correctly to the social distancing steps

We are living in a country full of self-interested, self-absorbed 'kin scabs.

That's what 40- years of neo-liberalism gets you.
