Did you ever notice c**t has u in the middle

Texas Lt. Gov Dan Patrick has said that 'there are more important things than living' as he complains of the economy being crushed

Nice of him to offer himself up like that.

Seems there is a little bit of a law and order breakdown in Paris .
Claims of Police overstepping their brief .

Still can’t find it in the live updates. Be very surprising as AFAIK they haven’t been developed yet.

Tbf Trump saying something doesn't mean it's happening, anyway!

 

[David O'Day]

Actual working tests that show if people have had it or not with a high accuracy rate? Or is this another thing Trump has just thrown out there that someone else will have to walk back later?

Fingers crossed its true.

Like his wonder cure malaria drug that doesn't work

or saying something didn't happen doesn't mean it didn't, as the Senate report just released on Russian interference proves!

When did it all become about tricking people into being on your side instead of presenting your best argument. I blame Campbell.

Campbell is now pushing some bizarre agenda to get Blair as an advisor for the government - fronting all communications and has published an exit strategy who wants to run

Tony’s position as Peace Envoy to the Middle East has to be the ultimate act of trolling

"Interesting" to see some EU countries refusing to help companies that are registered in tax havens.

Piers Morgan was saying the same shite earlier too.

One thing I don't get is all this social media shit.

We have hundreds of police rocking up at Walsgrave to film themselves clapping on a Thursday, we have staff in hospitals filming themselves doing dance routines etc.

There are doctors and nurses going home exhausted from working massive shifts and then you have pricks in hospitals fucking about with gimpy dance routines in their PPE which just undermines it all.

Australia smashing it

Coronavirus patients on Donald Trump's favourite hydroxychloroquine more likely to die | Metro News

I wonder if someone will start legal proceedings against Trump for his constant selling of this drug as a game changer.

Large scale testing and early intervention measures.

In some places it has been working though? It’s all very strange

Will be racking up likes though

What places are those?

Fairly easy to distance in parts of Australia, too!

Maybe because at last count there's 33 mutations of the virus - maybe it is more successful against certain strains.
These mutations are being used as one explanation for differing geographical mortality rates.

Anybody caught filming a Tiktok in a police or NHS uniform on duty should be fucked off.

Couldn't give a shit if they think it's lifting spirits, you have police saying they are underfunded but can send a helicopter to fly over Walsgrave and loads of officers to clap outside ignoring social distancing. It's purely attention-seeking for likes off the back of the awful situation.

Probably the same cunts who took all the food and will hammer the benefits for the NHS staff who really are working hard.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Beyond whatever the corporate scheming is, some people doing a really shit job at the moment get a bit of a treat (as much as Domino's can be). Though would be nice if others were recognised also

I agree entirely. But I can't help think Dominos are doing this more for the PR than the gesture.

It was like when loads of places said they would offer NHS staff free stuff then closed 2 days later.

Ignore the hoax stuff, I am not buying that but watch this video



How long did they spend practising their dance on expensive equipment?

What about this PPE that is urgently needed? Where are all the patients?

Bet you're a right laugh at parties.

I'd find that a bit sad even without the situation we are in to be honest. Hardly demonstrating NHS staff exhausted and rushed off their feet and dead bodies all over the place is it?

Any grown adult filming dance routines for Tiktok doesn't sit right at the best of times. I dread to think I'd be at a party where somebody gets their phone out and says "Lets film a Tiktok". I would be leaving sharpish.

The thing is, in a wider sense, nobody who's overworked and underpaid should be expected to continue to grind, with no light relief. Their wellbeing is as important as anybody's and, arguably more.

It's blindingly obvious that that's not the scene in hospitals around the country 24/7.

What are they supposed to do after an arduous shift? Trudge home before eating a pan of cold gruel in darkness?

Only one of those is a UK hospital, no idea when it was filmed and not really sure what the relevance is.

You don't even know what ward they are on. There is PPE and there is PPE, the masks and gowns they're wearing here are not necessarily the same ones being discussed as there being a shortfall of.

Honestly, don't be so stupid.

 

[Nick]

Wouldn't it have been filmed within the pandemic as they don't usually wear masks and gloves all of the time?

And it looks like Darren from Plymouth believes a world government is on its way with Bill Gates trying to position himself as head of it - file under crack pot.

 

[Nick]

Another thing that's not mentioned is are they releasing death numbers from Cancer etc? How down are deaths from other causes to this time last year for example?

I was just on about the actual videos rather than the comments that go with them

 

[fernandopartridge]

Report on Reuters from China, that people who have recovered from the virus are still showing as being infected after tests. I'm not sure if this is a way in which they could upwardly massage their reported numbers, being cynical, if not is is potentially catastrophic.

Pretty sure after an arduous shift surrounded by death they wouldn't want to rehearse a dance routine for Tiktok.

"Has yours died yet? Shall we meet up in the canteen to perfect our moves at 8?"
