Off Topic Corona virus - non football

If we could trust what our politicians tell us people would listen to them

But they've lost so much of our trust & don't get me started on the **** rags like The Sun & Daily Mail

For printing so much scare stories

 

There was someone on here last week claiming it was unreasonable to ask people who had travelled abroad to adhere to lockdown regulations imposed by the country.
That’s the sort of devil may care attitude too many are adopting. As you say those disregarding the advice deserve everthing they get. The ones who don’t are the innocent ones infected by these selfish w@nkers.

 

That's line in Auf wedershein pet where oz states

Cause we're British we don't have to abide by the German law while owa in Germany

 

Then listen to the health professionals and scientists who are advising and flanking Boris Johnson every day. Or better still, have a look at the state of Italy... If that isn't enough to open peoples eyes to the reality we are facing, I truly despair.

 

Mind the daft bastards took notice of the two rags during the election

Hence the Tories winning it by a landslide strange their not taking notice of them now

 

Let's not bring this back to that kind of politics please Hank. If that c**t Corbyn had won I would imagine our borders would be wide open welcoming everyone in so we can take care of them!

 

I reckon somebody like Gordon Brown would a good PM rather than Bonko.

Corbyn would be a disaster imho

 

I like being on here just for your sense of humour

 

Just been informed my nearest CIU club shut for 4weeks not sure bout the other 8 pubs we got round here

Surmise there deeing the same

 

Spanish authorities apparently fining people 1600 Euros for ignoring there lockdown. Could be a way for our government to help subsidise the wages they're gonna help pay...

 

I'm seriously worried now.

I was talking to my gay neighbour last night. He has Aspergers and takes everything you say quite literally - trying to be all PC and cooI said to him "Just let me know if there's anything I can do, I'm happy to lend a hand". I just heard that he's run out of loo roll.

 

See what I mean about our gutter press concentrating on the scare stories I've just found this on the daily fail website

Right at the bottom

Derby-based SureScreen Diagnostics says it has created a finger prick test that takes just 10 minutes to give a diagnosis and is correct 98 per cent of the time.

The £6 test detects antibodies, the immune system's defence mechanism, which are produced to fight off the killer virus.

By measuring antibodies in the blood, doctors can detect whether someone has had the infection previously and is now immune to catching and spreading it.

Suspected patients can be posted the test and use the finger pricker to extract a blood sample themselves.

Users then put the sample in a screening device which then takes a few minutes to scour for antibodies that have been released by the immune system to fight coronavirus.

They are then given a positive or negative result, similar to how an at-home pregnancy test works.

Those who test positive will have already been infected - sometimes without knowing or showing symptoms - and are likely to be immune to reinfection.

The test can only detect people who have been infected with coronavirus for three days or more.

After 33 days the antibodies drop to undetectable levels but the body now knows how to produce them now so patients remain immune to the virus.

The tests would be a game changer because they help work out who is safe to resume normal life without fear of contracting or spreading the virus.

Why isn't it the main headline

 

I got the kids to lick the envelopes before wrapping them in a plastic bag I'm not that stupid

 

Note of caution . . . . you should never wrap kids up in plastic bags

 

In Italy they're at the point where hospital workers are now being diagnosed with the virus at a larger growth rate than anyone else.

Idiots will end up taking the lives of the very people that are risking their own to save them!

 

Snowdonia National Park Authority announced that it had it's busiest day in living memory yesterday. It was so busy that it was impossible to maintain social distancing. It's absolutely ridiculous that people don't have any common sense.

Why would that be the main headline? Do you think people being able to test if they have the virus is a bigger story than the number of people dead around the world because of it?

If anything we need harsher stories so people will take this seriously. If you start putting positive stories on the front page, people will think there's nothing to worry about and keep ignoring what they're being told.

That's an account from a senior doctor in a London hospital talking about his experience and concerns. If you think it's a "scare" story, that's because this is a ****ing scary situation!

 

Senior?

 

You’ll probably find those claiming it to be a ‘scare story’ are the w@nkers still strolling around as if nothing’s changed. It’s their way of convincing themselves they’re doing nothing wrong.
This has really shown British people at their worst.

 

A scary thought is that this virus could be weaponised.
Send infected people into areas that need to be 'cleansed'.
Problem solved.
Obviously not in right thinking countries, but I can see Putin, Trump and a few other dictators thinking along those lines.
