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

[Mr Pigeon]

Boris in intensive care.

Some of the replies in that are sickening. It really doesn't matter if you think he's a cnut or not. The guy is a human being with a baby on the way ffs.

 

[Sweet Square]

Who's lied about what now?

Ok lying might be the wrong word but it seems like they are holding information from the public.

Ah right

Some people are just thick thinking they are clever, GO HOME.

Her tone is so smarmy, the copper did well not to be agitated by her. He handled her rather well. I couldn't have stayed that composed speaking to her. I was feeling angry just watching it.

Shes responsible for such a huge waste of resources compared to if she just moved on when requested. Sad to think she is one of far too many who are adopting the "I'm not afraid" stance.

Breath taking patience from those police there, really hats off!

Can only imagine she's an exceptionally lonely individual. And you just know if that was on youtube there'd be tonnes of halfwits applauding her, for some inexplicable reason, having wasted everyone's time, and no doubt getting a fine.

 

[SalfordRed18]

I'm sorry, I won't be happy if he dies, but I'm not gonna sit here send him my best wishes.

The man was happy to let thousands die to achieve herd immunity so it's quite ironic if he's one of them.

I hope it doesn't die simply it's the last thing the country needs right now, but I'm not going to suddenly forget him twiddling his fingers and allowing us to get in this situation.

 

[Sir Matt]

what is Remdesivir?

It's an antiviral drug initially created to treat Ebola that's being tested for COVID-19.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Genuine question... is the story of Boris shaking hands with Coronavirus patients a few weeks ago actually true?

 

[Guy Incognito]

Think Blair had a brief stay in a hospital, just remember all the jokes about Prescott being PM for a day and no-one telling him.

He had a heart op in 2003.

 

[TheGame]

From having worked as a respiratory physio and seen people moving to and from ICU, you don’t take someone to ICU as a precaution. You do it expecting a condition to worsen, fast, in order to have all of the necessary equipment in place ready to go.

Yep agree, think they are trying to keep public calm but situation must be serious.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

He said it at one of the first press briefings.

Unbelievable. I remember him saying that he was still shaking hands but I didn't know if the handshakes with Coronavirus patients was actually true.

 

[esmufc07]

Do we think he actually was though, or more a case of Boris just being Boris? Wouldn't surprise me if it was the latter.

Still, doesn't matter at this stage. He's seriously ill and hopefully he'll be back to full health soon.

 

[Jericholyte2]

How many minutes, give or take, are you saving by moving someone to an ICU vs being in a regular hospital room?

It’s all about maintaining oxygenation and supply to the brain. Depending on the distance between wards it could be anything between 2-3 or even up to 10minutes (depending on organisation/ need to traverse floors etc). In this time a massive amount of damage could happen.

If you have the kit there and ready you can have him intubated in seconds, limiting the damage to a minimum.

 

[Cal?]

Why couldn't it be the Orange idiot, why?

As much as I dislike the orange one, I'd rather it be the Pooh.

 

[C'est Moi Cantona]

Coin toss, apparently. But there must be other factors which increase/decrease the chance.

There has to be, but this is to be found out further down the line, right now I just pray that Boris is on the right side of whatever they are.

I'm not even that keen on the guy, but I barely slept thinking about this last night, the impact of him not making would be terrible, people are tossers who say otherwise.

 

[Josep Dowling]

Boris in intensive care.

The responses to that tweet are just vile. Why can’t people seperate their politician opinions even when a man is potentially dying.

 

[Port Vale Devil]

Yeah have just read some the disgusting comments and as you said are downright sickening.

That won't be a popular take but you're not wrong. The leaked stuff (of course denied) about how some pensioners may just need to die was disgraceful.

I wonder if the buffoon will still be bragging about shaking hands with everyone now? Common sense apparently wasn't as important as tradition.

Got it, thanks for the reply.

If he doesn't make it, it could well have global ramifications. This could get big.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

Boris is an utter twerp but the man was following the advice of Sir Patrick Vallance, and when that advice changed, his strategy for the country changed with it.

He’s got a baby on the way, I hope and I’m sure he’ll pull through.

 

[Guy Incognito]

Pulis was right when he said there was a lot of idiots on Twitter.

Someone is telling me it's been used successfully in the US

 

[RedDevil@84]

Which is why not everyone should be allowed access to internet

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

You know on the news when they say (as they did today) that the number of deaths is expected to rise over the next few days - do they mean the number of deaths per day is expected to rise, or the total number of deaths? I assume its the former as the latter is obvious?

 

[MTF]

As much as I dislike the orange one, I'd rather it be the Pooh.

He'd just be replaced by some other Pooh. I still nominate agent orange.

It doesn’t really matter whether he did or didn’t, it set an awful example and set a tone of minimisation which they‘ve found very difficult to shift since.

 

[Arruda]

It's very rare for politicians to have to suffer the repercussions of their own actions in the same way normal people do.

Good point.

Mind, from a pragmatic point of view I think it's a good thing that someone like Johnson is in critical care. I think it will save lives all over the world. It's from an emotional point of view that this hurts me. I feel very sorry for the individual.

There were a lot of Twitter journalists saying there were no coronavirus patients there. Hard to know without the hospital publically confirming.

 

[Rado_N]

Didn’t it turn out he was lying about this and there weren’t any covid patients there? Sure I remember reading that but could be wrong.

 

[Wolverine]

Yes I would agree but he is PM so he would have a shorter threshold
Possibly I would imagine any of a degree of tachypnea, hypoxia, acidosis and they're being cautious.
But yeah nobody goes into hospital Sunday 9 pm "routinely". Hope he pulls through.

 

[Sandikan]

Hopefully totally precautionary. If he's giving out orders (re Raab taking over) then surely he can't be that bad.

It's clearly worse than they've been admitting

 

[redshaw]

Hope he pulls through.

Worrying is the risk of heart failure once on the recovery path, the virus is a bastard.

[Cal?]

Except for the fact that previous CCP leaders did not declare themselves emperor.

 

[Maagge]

Denmark to start opening some parts of society from the 15th of April. Starting with everyone up to fifth grade (~650k kids) I think, and then slowly more stuff. From the 10th of May the rest of school kids go back to school.
All major summer events are cancelled though and we'll keep a lot of other things shut down until the end of August and gatherings of more than 10 people are illegal.

This is on the back of seemingly keeping the spread of the virus in check and managing the amount of patients in intensive care.

EDIT: I had some dates wrong.

When you have similar posts about the death of someone's (Guardiola) mum, then you know it's best not to read comments on social media.

 

[BluesJr]

Lack of transparency at a time like this is another major feck up by this government.

You're not sorry, you're just a monumental insensitive bellend. You're welcome.

 

[do.ob]

I feel like if it was at all possible they'd put out an "I'm alright video given the circumstances" video. Just writing it in tweets isn't particularly reassuring.
