SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

I have absolutely no problem with Boris getting his test, or him recieving 80% of his salary up to £2500 per month. Get well soon.

I'm sure he has enough tucked away to live off £2500 for next 6 weeks or so.
 
There is considerable unease in the Spanish press over a speech by a Dutch minister, asking to investigate the deficit compliance and criticizing that we are treating too old people (in Italia too).
Apparently Germany and the Netherlands are exercising some blockade while Spain and Italy refuse to sign insufficient measures.

Portuguese PM called his words "disgusting" and implied things were heated during those discussions.
 
Go to this post which quoted original post, which the poster edited to remove affluent.

Ah, thanks! He hasn't been on in 10 days now and he's got a tagline.

At least I got mine for being a drunken idiot ranting in an mma thread. :lol:
 
Very distressing video but captures the situation in Spain and perhaps your country soon.



Sedating people over 65 to die and use respirators for younger people.

This is my worry for my mum, you know you can't be there on the ward and many will be left to die as there just isn't the number of staff or equipment in nearly all countries.
 
Yeah, Portuguese Prime Minister destroyed the Dutch PM too. It will pretty much be the end of European Union if this doesn't change.
Yes, a strong response from Costa, very well said.
The European Union has been missed during these weeks, and it seems that there are more and more differentiated blocks.
 
OMG I thought Italy were just beginning to see the first merciful signs of decline of this pest of a virus.
Heart goes out to them. No words can describe what they must be going through.
 
Some people might find it funny that Matt Hancock has caught it. I think anyone who can find schadenfreude in situations like this are absolutely terrible, awful, horrible, nasty people and almost as bad as the type people who can't spot sarcasm in posts like these.

I could find schadenfreude in seeing that orange buffoon, across the pond getting. I'd pop a bottle of Lidl champagne for him.
 
Boris probably got off that poster who was congregating at a carvery over a pint of beer with likeminded [sic] individuals, in an affluent area.

Hope that poster got an appropriate tagline as I cannot remember who it was now.
He has been given the appropriate tagline, hasn't been seen in ten days though.

Hopefully he is just holding his head in shame and nothing worse.
 
We have been isolated for 12 days now or so because our daughter had symptoms (high fever, dry cough).

Shes fine for a few days, except for a runny noise, but now i start feeling sick too.
I wonder if we have to isolate for another 14 days if i really get sick now?
Would have been 28 days straight then, just imagine my missus gets sick in 10 days too... ?! :lol:

The only utility of him getting it is if it ends up hospitalizing him or killing him. If he tests positive and doesn't get sick it will only help his "cause".

Yeah I wouldn't wish death on anyone but him getting some severe grade fever and breathing difficulties might snap him into doing something about this.
 
That video from Spain is actually horrific.
 
I just despise media over this, they are enjoying the panic and spreading bad news, aren't they?

We just had more than 10 minute piece on our news about our students and young basketball team returning from Italy in isolated plane, showing their plan, filming them before the check in, after check in, after they arrived, place whey will be isolated, etc.. Airport is totally closed for just 2 fecking days, we had it running on low capacity for about 10 days, around 5 planes coming daily but still coming with many passengers from infected areas just few days ago and no one cared, and now all of a suden it's completely different situation and they have a special piece on it. I fecking despise these idiots.

Yeah, I would say that's the safest option.
 
Very likely that the Belgian lockdown will be extended until 3 May - announcement imminent apparently.

The parties once this will all be over are going to be ridiculous. Not sure that's a good thing.
I don't know if I'll be there to witness it, but there'll be a new public holiday to honour whoever it is who comes up with a cure. This person would be revered the world over.

Under the UK advice its maximum 21 days as a household i think. You'd have to isolate for 7 days now since you have symptoms but if your wife felt fine in a few days i don't think she's obliged to self-isolate.

Better safe than sorry though i guess.
 
I've noticed throughout UK figures that it's around 9% of cases that test positive. So there's probably around 9% of the population that have had it or have got it. That's around 6 million people.
 
Gove didn't look quite so wired today.


On an unrelated matter, I wonder how the lockdown is affecting the supply of drugs into the country.

:lol: You do realise they are testing people with symptoms and people in contact with infected. Not random sampling.
 
Was in a chemist earlier to pick up a prescription. People were queuing outside a few metres apart and being brought in on a one in, one out schedule. All staff inside were wearing masks and latex gloves, however one of the till assistants kept fiddling about with her mask and at one point it was around her neck exposing her mouth and nose. She then exchanged money with a customer and touched her face again. Then the pharmacist came from behind the counter to give someone their prescription and preceded to have a chat from about a metre apart for 20-30 seconds. They did look stressed and overworked to be fair but it worried me how a couple of them were behaving.
 
So just finished work and I'm fuming. Why is it people can't just listen and stay inside unless it's essential? Selfish, selfish cnuts. People need to start getting a grip of people in their circle and shaming them with this. The amount of people just sat in the sun or aimlessly wandering about is staggering. The roads are still being used.

The UK really needs a tight lockdown as it seems some people are just too thick to get it.

Can you not hand down fines?
 
Was at Marks and Spencer’s just now, queues right round the corner 2m apart everyone pissed off waiting and this grade A prick comes walking out the shop with one pizza, just one!

I mean if you’re going to go shopping get at least a weeks groceries a once..
