Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Billy Dean]

Yes about a 1000 old and sick people have died. None of this makes any sense to me.

Also younger people although not dying are being admitted to hospital with complications. Their health system is overwhelmed, they're building temporary hospitals in tents.

there is an Ayatollah who also posts on GoT?

There's an Ayatollah Pize who goes by @MarcelsGoat

The audacity.

Thankfully, the government will tell Branson to swivel on it.

He’s worth a few billion, Boris should write back informing him he’s accepting donations.

He’s an arse

This is the problem...it makes no sense to YOU...maybe you don’t understand it, as you are wrong and don’t have all the facts...just a thought

I havent heard or seen any facts that justify this mania.

Google "Italian hospital tents" and you'll see why there's quite a bit of concern over slowing the virus down.

While the death tolls aren't (comparatively) huge the strain that people being ill puts on health services has a massive knock on effect.

Worth remembering that there were almost 27,000 people killed or seriously injured on the roads in the UK in the year ending June 2018.

Have you seen what's happening in Italy?

Could be higher, Hancock freely admits infections are much higher than official figures, mainly because they don't test if you can't prove official recorded contact. People could become ill of a virus and die, possibly because of complications brought on Covid 19 however, by the time coranor gets to do their thing any trace of Covid 19 could be long gone.

All Tory and associated Liberals stand down, Hancock debunked your herd immunity mentality, you crackpots.

perhaps also worth considering how anyone involved in a road accident in 2020 will get access to the necessary hospital care if hospitals are overwhelmed with covid cases

No, no, don't be rational. Their is no middle ground between rioting in panic and ignoring all the facts in your face.

Presumably then you'll be taking the initiative and will be isolating yourself for the next 6 months at least?

Don't understand what this has got to do with anything tbh.

That has to be the most irrelevant thing I've ever read in relation to this virus. I'd be entertained if you'd expound on that

Exactly.

The point is though, given that the roads are statistically far more dangerous than this virus, nobody panics about using our roads. Yet, people, led by the clueless cretins in the media, are being driven into full on panic mode over this virus which is very dangerous.

Not really worth remembering in a conversation about a virus though, is it? Unless seatbelts and car safety ads can be transmuted into a vaccine for Covid19
