Like what was said earlier, gone from ‘if you’re young and fit you’ve got nothing to worry about’, to that. If younger cases doesn’t cause lockdown, nothing will.

I only wish some of the idiots having their little gatherings in the park read/watched the news !

Hmmm, not quite ROS but some of the stuff/criticism has been has been factually incorrect/OTT (other stuff very much valid)

I don’t mean you to be honest, you always pretty eloquently state a case with plenty to back it up. No issue with that at all.

Just amended my message as I know it wasn’t aimed at me, nor a majority of others. Debating the rights and wrongs is healthy

Said before we've got a "healthy" 13 year old in hospital here.
Again not much reported but 40% of US hospitalised patients last week were 20-54 years old.

I’m very sorry to hear. Can’t imagine the level of worry. Hope he/she pulls through sharpish.

Taken from twitter:

“I'm a Singaporean UK grad doctor in the NHS. I’m doing extra shifts during the covidpandemic as our overworked doctors are off sick. I'll be working in A&E from April as the outbreak peaks. Yet @ukhomeoffice is charging me £1,200 health surcharges even though I pay taxes and NI. The Chancellor of the Exchequer’s 2020 budget raised Health Surcharges, for a family of 2 adults+2 children, this is £2,188/yr and over 5 years, £10,940 Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, this affects us all.”

small minded doesn’t even begin to cover this

Ring you appear to have a habit of making statements that could be classed as personal insults without ever intellectually backing up why you belive your low blow of a comment was justified. This is in total contrast to Sheemee who I enjoy reading the throught provoking posts of even if I don't agree with all of the content.

Its a shame on a couple of levels.

That bucks the trend.

Looks like things are moving against Cummings- one of the Conservatives’ main mouthpieces seems to have totally changed stance in 24 hours and is now openly blaming Cummings for the scientific approach.

Good to see these sorts of contributions to capex, not just opex. Not before time.

28 year old football on oxygen for 8 days due to the virus.


All a big hoax that only effects old people though anyway yeah.

 

[pipkin73]

We have now had our quarantine extended to at least April 12th. They expect next week to be our worst and be our peak and then the curve should flatten out. After being hammered the supermarkets are now empty and some are closing due to lack of business.

jesus... the only positive that can be drawn from this is that it might finally get through to people that they’re not messing around with just a head cold here, and start taking it seriously.

McDonalds closing from 7pm tomorrow.

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

I see the lefties on here are still trying to political point score against Boris,Give the guy a break ffs.
Would that tramp in Islington do any better?
And yes they’ve both never had a proper job!!

You accuse others (lefties specifically) of political point scoring and then say whatabout “that tramp in Islington”. Point invalidated in one post.

Coronavirus: 'Healthy' NHS nurse, 36, in intensive care after contracting COVID-19

36 year old, healthy, with no pre-existing conditions.

Yep. Hence why I'm so worried about it.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

That bucks the trend.

They don't really have a healthcare system mind you

We went in to lock down at midnight on the 14th so i guess it depends on when you do.
