SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
Why did Borris feel the need to test himself if he had mild symptoms? There are doctors Pharmacists and nurses who aren't tested and this bellend needs a test from mild symptoms?
This is not a particularly big deal, according to virtually all the guidance out there currently.
I think we need to test those that will be providing the care quicker if i'm honest, they will be keeping the country running.
Parliament is on it's Easter Break now.
Spot on. Hi neighbour!
There's no way Blair is going to be able to resist lying about having it too now.
Ahuh. I meant if a day out, the longer term model wouldn't be massively impacted, especially as predictive models have certain adjustments built in to cover possible variations.
(Though it's a long time since I did maths and stats at college so maybe modelling has changed)
Because he's the Prime Minister. It would a dereliction of duty if he tried to "be a gentleman" and not take a test. He would have the money to pay for one privately anyway.
Herd immunity begins at home. Good on him for setting an example.
Well said!
I saw that, just shows how it is likely spreading.
That was just one beach.
Over here, you could probably see that from the cheltenham festival, the liverpool champions league game and that stereophonics concert too.
Let them practice what they're preaching is good enough for the peasants. Stick them all on Universal Credit whilst its shut down too, just to see how quickly they change the amount of money and shorten the wait to get hold of it.
Please refrain from the daft arguing about why the PM of this country should be tested or not. We did that when talking about the heir to the fecking throne the other day.
FFS, he’s the prime minister
What do you think has been happening in workplaces across the entire country for weeks and months? Stopping just Cheltenham in isolation would do sweet feck all.
Christ! I was planning to see them this summer.
Some of you lot are very strange individuals.
The data from 2010 does not separate general from acute, and the data before is not adjusted for population.
If you fiddle around with the graph here you can see acute beds per capita adjusted for a lot of countries. The UK does not stand out as governments change or compared to its neighbours - the only one that does is Korea.

Struggling to find empathy for BoJo, he wanted herd immunity after all.
Boris too? This is rife. It’s absolutely everywhere.
Think the bloke from Imperial was bang on, gonna be countrywide in a couple of weeks. We’ll soon see if herd immunity is a thing or not.

This is silly. He's the man responsible for our poor testing capacity. Of course people are entitled to an opinion over whether he should get tested when we don't have the capacity to test nurses.
Who's first in line? JRM?
stupid feckwitts may see the need to question it, yes.
Wonder how he's got that info. I thought data protection/phone companies holding info secure would prevent that?
At first glance, I saw all the hotspots and thought "why have all those Spring Breakers come to Europe?" but I'm guessing hotspots are ALL shown here (white)?
Reminds me I'm fortunate to live rurally.
If it was everywhere... why are so many of the tests coming back negative when the UK is testing/
Southern Europe countries are taking a higher toll due to a very old population. Long are the times where people from Spain and Italy had families with several kids.
Raab takes over if Boris can't do the job, in the short term, I believe.
So? Why can't he self isolate from having symptoms and pass the duty on for the isolation period? We are already taking the piss on our testing whilst our underfunded NHS doctors nurses and pharmacists are around covid patience 18 hours a day, and this warrants a test more? He could have self isolated if he had symptoms - why can't he do that? Why does he need a test? His symptoms were mild, he's not in a dangerous age category, he doesnt appear to have underlying health problems.
Raab
The man who didn't realise dover was an important part of our food supply lines, and thought Lima was in Singapore.
Saw them last summer. Something to look forward to (or rather would have been).
Apparently he has pneumonia as well but according to reports it is not a life-threatening situation.
Baffling. For better or worse he is in charge of the country, of course hes going to get bloody tested quickly
That's what he is doing. You cannot seriously argue he shouldn't have been tested.
Spain death count rises 769 in one day to 4,858
Call me a conspiracy theorist but part of me thinks that Boris is stupid enough to like about testing positive about corona virus, self isolate as a result in the hope that because he's doing it the entire nation will see it as a inspiration to follow.
Probably just has it though, but I need something to keep me amused in this dark times

don't you think it's important to test the Prime Minister?
aside from the fact he's an important politician, he must surely meet loads of people on a daily basis who'd want to know if he tested positive
