Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Goat]

just read that Hong Kong Flu in the late 60's killed 80'000 people in the UK. Nearly double of COVID.

Oh, more lockdown measures in Pendle today but only in the areas with high pakistani populations

The result was that as the UK's weekly death count mounted, peaking at about 600 in the week ending Oct 17, 1957, there were few hysterical tabloid newspaper headlines and no calls for social distancing. Instead, the news cycle was dominated by the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik and the aftermath of the fire at the Windscale nuclear reactor in the UK.
By the time this influenza pandemic—known colloquially at the time as “Asian flu”—had concluded the following April, an estimated 20 000 people in the UK and 80 000 citizens in the USA were dead.



Stop chatting wham Nazi boy.

For all those folks still believing they are safe because they are young and fit

And before the comments about America football players' physique, he's a QB, not a lineman.

No doubt any other number of diseases could have disabled or killed him. He was very unlucky simple as.

Mad the way this bellend thinks only places with muslim populations are going into lockdown.

Are they not?

 

[Charro]

Are they not?

No, you racist dope.

 

[arminisgod]

No, you racist dope.

How is it racist you absolute idiot.

Leicester
Luton
Burnley
Pendle
Blackburn
West Yorkshire

All have large Muslim communities. The government has even said the spread is being caused on the house NOT anywhere else.

The extra lockdown measures in Pendle today have highlighted that they believe it's in Muslim households. Stop crying about 'racism' and accept it's an issue and it needs to be understood and dealt with.

Have they said this?

Have they said this?

Yes. I cant see the issue personally. If an area is under threat, whether its black, green, white, old, young, whatever, its for their, and by extension, everyones, protection.

No I meant have they said they believe it's Muslim households that are the reason for a Pendle lockdown.

Or have they put Pendle on lockdown and people are assuming it must be because of the Muslim community.

Well they havnt blamed any community for an outbreak, just said some communities are at a higher risk at the moment.

Like the food processing places were. Only a diseased bigot would conflate an agenda.

You’re blaming a race of people for certain areas going into lockdown.

If you want people to look at the issue maybe articulate yourself better instead of racist dog-whistling.

I have no doubt there’s probably an issue within certain communities, not just the Muslim community, but what you’re doing here is akin to Hitler bouncing round after the financial crash going, ‘have you noticed the Jews still have money, mad that la’.

I was merely asking the OP considering he likes to use a lot of his own assumptions as facts.

Till someone says "we're locking down this area as the cases are spiking too high in Muslim communities" I'll just view it as racist assumptions.

All Settings - for the 28 day cut off, the announced total is 2, down 4 on yesterday and down 9 on last Friday, bringing the 7 day rolling average for that level down to 6.71

For the 60 day cut off, the announced total is 13, down 13 on yesterday and down 17 on last Friday, bringing the 7 day rolling average down to 15.86

For the Legacy setting, the announced total is 92, up 31 on yesterday but down 31 on last Friday, bringing that 7 day rolling average down to 51.43

The earlier hospital figure sees that average fall again to 6.29

Grow up mate. Why can't I blame people for the fact I can't go to my mum's for tea on Sunday?

Like it or not it's spreading in the the Muslim community and they are failing to tackle it.
