Off Topic SARS-CoV-2 Covid-19

Lockdown rules explained. - Ignore the video title, I couldn't find the clip on its own but it should start at the explanation.

 

A good stat I’ve just seen from the USofA

Of those in hospital in a severe condition, 20% are 20-44 and 20% are 44-55.

And something else I hadn’t actually thought of, those that end up in a severe condition are likely to have permanent lung damage. My girlfriend got pneumonia as a child and has permanent damage, one of her lungs doesn’t work to full capacity.

 

Having not seen my daughter (she is 33, but still my baby and back living at home) for a month due to quaranteening/ self isolating at bf's in Wakefield, she popped home today to pick up essentials, to enable her to carry out a critical service.
She stayed in the front garden and we kept 2m apart. Placed essentials in no mans land. We actually had a coffee in the front garden, her travel mug and I used disposable gloves from her pack for home visits to make it. Beautiful 20 minutes. My god I've missed her.
We bid farewell. No hug or even within two metres of a reassuring pat or touch or any form of body contact, We are normally both very tactile. I had a 'few moments' afterwards.
Very normal family dynamics? It just made me realise just how ****ing tough this is going to be for so many.
Also, how will society change?
Will people be so tactile? Will the French ever kiss cheeks again? Will the Italians embrace? Will LADS ever man hug so freely again? Will I ever embrace Denis again after a city goal (in Jan/Feb, he was full of cold/virus, spewed his **** all over me when we scored. Myself and Mrs A then had same virus. We later independently suggested we had an early dose of corona. Very similar symptoms? Who knows? test test test)
Actually, will football ever be the same again? Maybe the long awaited premiership bubble is gonna burst ?

 

stop eating meat
and all these viruses dont exist
its just a result of the mass human consumption of animal product
maybe its time we stopped, we dont need it
lets go veggie

One of the most ridiculous posts I've read on here, give me a nice juicy steak any day

 

The Popeye and spinach thing is bollocks. A German scientist put the decimal point in the wrong place. If the level he claimed was true, it'd be like eating a paper clip. It's actually got high levels of oxalate, which means any iron that is in it is useless to the body.

 

Monkey meat has been on sale in the U.K. in the past. Ridley Road Market in Hackney had loads of places selling it. The shops would have big plastic drums stuffed full of dried legs. As soon as I would go into the shop they would put the lids on the drums. Oddly they would always pay their business rates in full straight away, they couldn’t wait to get me out of the shop. I stopped reporting the shops after nothing was done.
Many cultures eat bush meat and you are right about bats.

 

Tesco used to sell horse meat.

 

Neigh

 

Most people that got infected by that, soon ended up in a stable condition though.

 

Let’s not start trotting out puns on this thread

 

A full recovery that’s the mane thing.

 

Aye, I think the only lasting effects are it can leave you feeling a little hoarse.

 

Think we need a Gallup Poll to sort this one out.
