Off Topic Coronavirus

No politics please, Col.

 

Someone had to explain to him what it was first though.

 

Im sure he’ll get over it Col.....along with all the other celebs and the like who wear their condition like a badge of honour......
It’s Ethel from Isleworth or Sidney from Hounslow that I’d be more concerned about.

 

Grim news Staines but lockdown has got to happen sooner rather than later, totally understand the stress your under with the work load & still doing a great job, take care

 

Please don’t take that post as gospel mate.....could be a load of old tosh....but like a lot of these things that go around, there definitely is some basis of fact.

 

His symptoms have been described as 'weak'

 

It was just a joke about how he always looks a bit vacant. Remarkably strong academically which rarely seems to come across when he’s in front of a camera. Probably quite an interesting guy in private.

 

We are all humans there should be no distinguishing.

 

I've noticed in the breakdown by boroughs that Lambeth & Southwark are the two highest case boroughs and Lewisham Hospital is in the LLS Health Authority. I'd guess as soon as Excel is up and running all cases will be sent there to relieve the pressure but they can only do so much. The clinical decisions regarding age are already in use in Italy and Spain so it's going to be a harrowing few weeks for sure. We can only pray we're lucky...

 

There is an interesting article which I read today from an Italian doctor. He gave out percentages of cases/age/health. Quite scary. SkyNews said 32 in Spain old people died in the same home yesterday and the other 250 have all tested positive for Covid-19. It's a spreader and the fomite transmission (I learnt that word last night) is a massive worry.

 

That wasn’t my point, as I think you realise.

 

Not sure what treatment she had, apparently 11 days, so you would assume some of it required some sort of breathing assistance...

 

Who is it from? Might well be true, but I can’t see what good it serves to put this in the public domain (not a dig at you M). The stuff about 250k deaths being optimistic in particular.

 

I just got it sent by a friend.....not medical and could very well be one of these ‘fake news’ things that tend to do the rounds when this sort of thing happens.....just thought it was worthy of discussion.

 

I read the first bit and thought... what a load of crap.
I read the next bit and thought... b222222's.
I don't get people who make up and spread this 2222.

 

Yeah you’re right Ellers, probably the same people who.......nah I’ll leave it there

 

182 deaths today... gone up by 67 from yesterday

 

Staines the net is full of people who come out with s22t like this. They crave attention and like to sound important. It's an insecurity thing. These things always start with something like "I got this from a mate who is high up in the government or medical profession". Don't be fooled by it. As if the government would let something like this leak?
Seriously if you want to believe it, then thats your call.

 

Never said I believed it (totally) as was made clear in my original post....as I said to G.....I thought it would merit discussion.
