All I can say is that that doesn't reflect my experiences. The train was virtually empty this morning, as was Liverpool city centre. Supermarkets are tightly regulating numbers of customers at any one time.

From yesterday:

And that's me just looking on Twitter and scrolling down for any media posted in the past 2 hours.

When our new moee caring and sharing society emerges from the coronavirus recovery, we shouldn't forget people like Toby Young. Get their heads on spikes.

You really have to hope this massive cunt gets it, gets trapped in his own attic, and spends his last few minutes on the planet being shat on by rats.

Ideally everyone on this list gets the most severe version of it.

I tested positive for the virus but am out of hospital now. Just feel light-headed as fuck due to the blood thinners.

 

There wasn't many young people in hospital with the virus, I was only in there due to the blood clots in my lungs. The 'younger' people tended to be fat, conversely I saw very old people with the virus that appeared to be dealing with it okay, their main issues were the complete inability to care for themselves such as incontinence, feeding, etc but that's probably their general level of independence.

 

Fortunately I did not get close to the ICU, so can't comment on the demographic in there.

 

There appeared to be plenty PPE available for staff and enough beds but this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Have a safe recovery!

 

Been a few articles stating that the majority (70-80%) of "young" patients in the hospitals in countries like the Netherlands and the UK are obese. Would make sense.

I personally won't believe this until I've heard it from Turdseye

I think it's about 70% of patients overall here that are obese. 

 

That might just be the ones in ICU though.

Obesity

 

Meanwhile, Diederik Gommers, chairman of the Dutch intensive care association, told television talk show Jinek on Friday evening that 66% to 80% of corona patients on intensive care wards that he had seen are overweight. The reason has not yet been investigated, but Gommers said it could be linked to the prevalence of diabetes among obese people, which would make them more vulnerable to the virus. In addition, the extra weight can also make breathing more difficult, he said. A specialist on the programme gave a similar picture. ‘Almost all the patients on an IC ward are overweight,’ Peter van der Voort of Groningen University’s teaching hospital said. ‘We don’t know why, but it is very noticeable.’

Just got sky news on watching the presser with the governor of New York. First person in American politics actually talking sense.

Yeah future presidential material however after watching 5 episodes of Tiger King that electorate could vote for anything. And off course trump is in power.
