Try washing them with soapy water and then drying with a fine cloth. Works on my scuba mask anyway.
Exactly. I expect the levels of fear and misery on the Caf to drop significantly nowSuch a warrior! Would have been on the beaches of Dunkirk if he was born a different time.
My cousin is a doctor in London, last week he was moved off of his previous research onto a COVID-19 ward. Very first day on the ward he wasnt given PPE, and today has tested positive for it after developing mild symptoms. Shambles.
It's simple, we are a terrible nation for looking after our own health, ridiculous amounts of obese people for a start.
Add in the drinking culture and chain smokers, and recreational drug users and you have your answer.
I doubt it develops into anything we don't already know. The last paragraph is an insight into what they are trying to do I think:
Trump talks shit about China, China creates fake news about CIA, Boris says there will reckoning for China, China laughs at Boris...
It's all a pissing contest trying to divert attention away now.
I imagine the figures are slightly different now, but according to the EU's statistical office Germany has more smokers, more drinkers (and binge drinkers) and fewer obese people. Taken altogether, Germany are more or less on par with the UK, and the UK aren't particularly exceptional in any sense.
The same planet where Miliband said it was shocking how many people were having to use food banks and Cameron's response was "how dare you insult the good people who run food banks". They're deflectionist wankers of the highest kind.
So I was waiting for some take away food an hour ago when I heard a shitload of sirens nearby. Not usual, I thought it was either a few people being transported to Intensive Care or police moving in force to deal with another emergency.
Just heard it was a fire that broke in the kitchen of our hospital. Christ. I really hope no one was hurt.

A YouGov poll is hardly a 'clear consensus'.
Trump didn't talk shit about China until that clown in the Chinese foreign ministry started leaking false news that the US army brought the virus over to them in October. In fact he was publicly praising Xi Jinping as late as March as he didn't want to piss them off ahead of a trade deal he sees as key to his re-election.
Whatever shit the Chinese are drowning in is down to their own thick headedness and self created nuisance.
We're thick as shit though. I'm still reading news articles with quotes from the public like "I'm still unsure whether I can walk past someone in a park, the government should clarify". Presumably these same people need government videos explaining how to wipe their arse.
Zero personal responsibility.

To be fair, Boris has already had his own disgraceful-retreat-from-Europe-but-treated-like-a-win-for-propaganda moment.
London has only 13% of the UK's population but 28% of its coronavirus deaths.
As much as anything else, the UK is a victim of the success of its capital on the global stage. The same goes for New York.

C'mon boys, get those daily graphs out for the lads!
Or it's a major city with a massive public transport infrastructure that aided virus transmission.
What do you think is a better indicator of public opinion? It's not like they asked a few hundred folks at a particular point in time. They surveyed 2,000 people every day this month and got the same result every time, across every demographic.
Aren't these UK fatality figures too high for a weekend?
I expected an even greater underreporting because it's an easter weekend.

Hancock basically blaming the public for the UK's high death rate. This government's approval rating is increasing as well.
It's as bad in France if not worse, 37% come from Iles-De-France.
From the Germans themselves there are likely two reasons.
1. They were able to quickly test anybody with symptoms because they allowed tests at regional level rather than going to a central laboratory like everybody else in Europe. The fatality rate in Germany is likely not much better than anywhere else, they have just identified a higher proportion of their overall positive cases.
2. The virus was mostly brought into the country by younger people, and they have less contact with the elderly unlike in Spain and Italy. There have been very few outbreaks in German nursing homes and a higher proportion of their cases are in younger people.
Agreed.
Allied with the international nature of its businesses and visitors, and you had a powder keg ready to explode.
UK : 737 new deaths (total 10, 612)
Total cases 84, 279 (increase of 5, 288)
They include a 26-year-old man and a 100-year-old man. Of the people who've died, 42 of them had no pre-existing conditions.

I think if a vaccine is ever developed it will come from Germany. They’ve got their ducks in a row in a way the US never will.
Who did that?

Known as the USA virus in China
Hard to say how accurate the article, is, I'd hope most understand but won't say.

It's ridiculous that we are still talking about PPE, If they are being asked to look after confirmed patients it's the equivalent of sending someone into a burning building without their fireproofs or breathing apparatus on.
Exactly. Another crowded, international city with cramped public transport.
Just like London and New York, people travel in and out of the city frequently. Which makes contact tracing much more difficult than you'd find in smaller countries without major business hubs.
Germany's population/economy doesn't revolve around a single major city in the same way. Their epidemic developed along a different path, meaning they could control it in a different way.
I always get hopeful when I hear that the numbers have dipped on Sunday.
This week, I'm going to temper my optimism. Tuesday is the day I'll be paying attention to.
I have friends in China in a few places. No one believes that it ever came out of anywhere other than Wuhan.
The Chinese are not stupid. This is the usual Asian bashing articles that newspapers write quoting someone. The Chinese social media is very active and is very varied. I am not saying that there is no one who has a different view but nothing I have seen or heard says the US brought it to China. Yes early on there was an official who said it could have come from anywhere but all official news I have seen has it coming from Wuhan.
Similarly, the Chinese ive spoken to are dumbfounded as to how wuhan can be blamed.
It doesn’t have a single city, but it has Nordrhein-Westfalen.
I agree with a lot of this Dante. God help the turks if it starts to spread in Istanbul
Questions at the presser are shite again. Only one person offering any real challenge, about care homes.
A work colleague is going to his girlfriends place every so often whilst living at home. I'm not sure if I should be angry but it annoyed me. That isn't meant to happen right? or am I mistaken.
No, he's not supposed to do that. It would annoy me too.
Your colleague is a moron. It's not supposed to happen.
You are right, he is a spreader/tosser.
