Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Charro]

It's weird. We have only had 490 cases out of 95000, so there isn't really a problem as such.

But everybody thought it would happen here as per the reasons I have said.

We also have a big eastern European population living in small crowded terraced houses.

Goodness me.

Fair enough. There's a couple of WUMs in here that are taking things way too far imo.

I'm a bit upset today as I spent an hour last night Facetiming my sister who was in bits as her mother-in-law has just died from Covid, she can't attend the funeral with her husband as she's not well herself.

Ah, sorry to hear that mate.

The lack of proper grieving is almost as bad as the deaths themselves, heart breaking stuff really, and a right [Poor language removed] to deal with.

All you can do is keep supporting your sis as best you can.

When you read it the rate of missed or potentially missed positive tests is definitely a concern , although I’m not sure I’m in a position to judge that against other tests .

A testing time

Be careful sharing personal information this place is no different to others on the internet, it will be banked and when someone takes exception it will be used...

Do you have any examples?

Friend of me mum's used to refer to anyone of Indian sub-continent origin ( Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani , Sri Lankan ... ) as Pakistanis. She didn't use the "tanis" part like, and, to be fair to her, she meant no harm.

It's weird to see the generalisation still being used today by more enlightened folk.

Are you sure about the more enlightened folk. I've read through the last 4 pages and I'm still not quite sure what his point is other than pointing people of different races in Blackburn.

When you kick off about wearing a mask at the gym but forget that a few years ago wearing a mask at the gym was all the rage:

Elevation Training Masks And Whether They Really Work

While training masks restrict oxygen volume, they can't replicate atmospheric pressures at high altitudes. So, we examined how and if elevation masks really work.

Also debunks a lot of the crap bro-science or utter lack of science in some cases.

I'll bet you there's some scientist with an electron microscope in Austin, College Station or Houston that could, if only he could get the funding.
