Just to reassure everyone, apparently Boris had a telephone conversation with Trumpie last night......so basically sorted now.
Must be very hard for an intelligent man like Johnson to maintain a reasonable demeanour when talking to an idiot like Trump....I know my eyes would roll right out of my head and bounce across the floor if I had to talk to the Donald for longer than 5 minutes.
With any luck, the telephone will not have been sanitised and Boris will soon have to self-isolate. On Mars, or similar.
Am I missing something? For anyone under 70 it's supposed to be similar to getting flu. You feel a bit **** then you get over it.
For the majority thats true but I think it's something like 15% get serious breathing problems, which I believe you are more likely to survive if you are young. 5% end up in a critical condition. That's what I read anyway. That chinese whistleblower doctor died from it and he wasnt elderly.
Smokers or anyone with underlying chest conditions are at risk because their immune systems are not as well equipped to deal with the virus. Smokers develop smoker's cough for example so the lung tissue must be damaged.
That's basically it. Tried to go food shopping today as I do ever Sunday. The people who are panic, bulk buying need educating fast. Abandoned cars near Asda Chandlers Ford as it was full.....sad.
I take everything from them with a pinch of salt. We hear, what they want us to hear. I'd be astounded if their covid19 figures are correct.
We're not doing it for the people that will be fine, we're doing it for the immune suppressed, elderly, and to ease the burden on the emergency services.
