Brexit, for once some facts.

Glad the case has been dealt with. We can argue about the sentence, but the fact that it will receive publicity might be the most important factor.

I’m watching a programme on C4 about Coronavirus. They’ve just shown the Wet Market in China where the virus is thought to have started.

Good grief, the filthy little bastards. They behave like animals. I’m only surprised the dirty ***** haven’t started more pandemics.

Patient Zero? Ms Wei Guixian, 57, shrimp seller at the Wuhan Seafood Wholesale Market in China was the first person found with Coronavirus-19.

Truly this man is a danger to the nation
In the Telegraph
Boris Johnson kept illness a secret until coronavirus diagnosis was confirmed
Prime Minister is now self-isolating in No 11 and will have his meals and government papers brought to him


So the clown was walking around infecting others?
Time you resigned on the grounds of insanity Boris!

What a country! it elects an idiot into the top job and then he knobbles both the country and the government through stupidity

We need a coalition government with engineers, manufacturers, doctors, logistics & procurement experts and military strategists with their (washed) hands on the steering wheel. The idiots in charge at the moment are making it up as they go along. They aren’t up to the task, spin and bullshit won’t work.

Put not your faith in Chief Medical officers

Dr Rosena Allin-Khan@DrRosena

The Chief Medical Officer is now self-isolating for 7 days because he is showing symptoms. The World Health Org says we must self-isolate for 14 days - it is deeply alarming that our most senior officials aren't following this. Govt must immediately change national advice!

They can be as stupid as politicians

NHS guidance is to self isolate for 7 days if you live alone....the 14 days comes in if you live with somebody (to give them chance to show symptoms)

Advice about not leaving your home (self-isolation) and looking after yourself if you or someone you live with has symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19).

there is one point that puzzles me about this coronavirus.
If you look at the ratio between the number of mild cases/critical cases, our NHS seems either under reporting or miraculous.

UK active cases: 13,486 - critical: 163 (1%)
Italy active cases: 62,682 - critical: 3,732 (6%)
Spain active cases: 47,059 - critical: 4,165 (8%)
France active cases: 21,482 - critical: 3,787 (15%)

Fascinating that a doctor didn't know that isn't it? she tweeted remember.

You need to look at the "missing persons register" to find an accurate number!

UK is clearly under-reporting 'active' cases because of lack of testing and statistics collection. Correcting that would however make the 1% even lower.

• Critical should be more precise, but is the definition of 'critical' the same for all countries?
• Or maybe other countries are underestimating 'active' by even more then UK is?

They are probably only reporting the lucky ones who get an ICU bed. The missing percentage patients are probably in a skip in the hospital car park.

Who else has noticed that questions at the PM daily briefings are being totally disregarded now that they are asked via video link.

I think it was Beth Rigby of Sky News who asked Gove the following: IfThe Prime Minister, The Health Secretary and the UK’s Chief Medical Officer all fall ill, on the same day, with the virus that they are supposed to be leading a national fight against, would it be fair to say they have either been negligent or not followed their own advice?

Gove didn’t even acknowledge the question and spouted a pre-prepared & repetitive statement about the number of new hospital beds created in response to the question. I think they switch the microphone off once the question has been asked, so there is no chance to challenge them. They should not be allowed to get away with this. It’s appalling.

When the NHS seeks help from "The only online store 100% dedicated to Medical Fetish, Kink and Roleplay", it may be a hint the UK govt is nowhere near doing what it should.

Today we donated our entire stock of disposable scrubs to an NHS hospital. It was just a few sets, because we don't carry large stocks, but they were desperate, so we sent them free of charge. We don't usually do politics on Twitter, but here's a short thread. [1/5] https://pic.twitter.com/Z4ygmGr99M

Hands up anyone who reacted with "That's Saturday night Bu******d for a start!

we have something like 8000 respirators.
If 163 are in use, then the passage must be quite quick - in and out in a day...
I also noticed that for 4 days in a row (since 24-Mar), NHS did not report any newly recovered.

Jenny Harries answered that one.
believe it or not, she claims they are not treated any different than you and me, they get tested only when they show symptoms!

Gosh how public spirited these people really are.

And if you believe that, would you care to buy one of my home made respirators made from a bicycle pump?
Excellent value and you can take it with you when you go for a ride to exercise
