Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[neil999]

Unless you are getting stuff for a growing child (and not being forward thinking) then clothes aren’t essential in that sense. It’s fine to assume everyone has clothing for the seasons. Vast majority of clothes shopping is want not need and you can always order online can’t you.

You can also fashion clothes out of bin liners and potato sacks

Just wear your pyjamas all day, like the girls in Liverpool do.

There were 2,703 excess deaths across England and Wales in September, official figures show - but coronavirus was not in the 10 leading causes of fatality.

The numbers released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), are relative to the five-year average, counting from 2015 to 2019.

The leading cause of death in September for both nations was dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

no doubt right wing types will be all over that, though of course not mentioning the growing amount of evidence linking dementia and air pollution

I have a toddler and we think about his clothes in advance based on size. They grow fast but not that fast mate. Feel your reaching. Its teo weeks not two months right?

Again people who need clothes can look now see what they have and their needs and get them before the shops clothes. Seems pretty easy.

I work in care sector ,,, we take in kids literally off the streets with nothing but the clothes on their back... sometimes ( and I admit it’s not always) it’s an absolute necessity

The NHS has effectively ceased and is now Virus Management Service (VMS). The question should be why is it necessary to do this?

We can go back to this again, even the short window of calm in summer seems little has been learnt.

Official report that said UK was not prepared for pandemic is published

I’m sorry but that top part is bollocks.

The majority of hospitals are currently performing routine surgeries and doing their best to clear the backlog from lockdown.

The amount of pants that are regularly wet on the Everton forum I assume some people go through 2 or 3 pairs of pants a day.

That’s not safe to assume, I work alongside the NHS for Local Authority, I can often work many hours past my contracted hours 9-5 hours, the only way this is recognised is through time owing which has to be taken within the calendar month or its void so effectively become volunteer lots. I know it’s the same for my direct NHS colleagues. Do you need some pants? I have plenty, ill wash them like!

They are now in some cases ,however, they are way behind on many elective operations, and people will be and are left hobbling round on knackered hips etc. Also, the delay in diagnostics testing the consequence of late diagnosis's will take years to to fully play out. There is no sugar coating NHS, it's been ground and winded down beyond bare minimum.

The Health Minister in Czech, who has been in post just over 1 month after the previous one was pushed out after the PM over-ruled him on wearing masks, is being asked to resign by the PM after he was pictured coming out of a restaurant both after the curfew and without a mask.

So 1 in 130 people had the virus last week.

Just in terms of exponential potential, you'd have to think the virus should be peaking again soon, measures or not.

Do a lot of NHS staff cry arse on GOT about us not having an out and out striker on the bench? Blocking the site on NHS machines would boost productivity 6000% it seems!

There can’t be many left in Liverpool under 50 that haven’t had it.

It’s absolutely everywhere.
