Coronavirus

Interesting article on a long-term form of the virus and why the Government’s advice on symptoms is out of date. Apologies if it has been posted before.

That's horrendous. I take it these patients are also infectious during the whole time too.

“People sometimes, I guess, we don’t know exactly yet, but it looks like they become immune — at least for a short while. It may be for life. But you fight through it,” he added.

Keep seeing these stories about people in seaside towns or the country side telling people not to go there, eh I'll go where I fucking want thank you, you don't own it. People who live in the countryside are twats by and large, I'll go for a walk in the hills but you stay in your high rise. If they don't like it they can stay in their cottage, job done.

It’s not a phrase I’m too comfortable with in the first place, but fuck me that looks horrible in text.

fucked it off reads much better, Orwell would agree - plain English.

What are they gonna run a book on?? Death rates? Spread on how close Tory numbers are to actual Covid related deaths?

Racing back in a few weeks hopefully. 

About Covid related deaths there's two cunts strumming guitars on the square now, they must be thinking about bringing a nice peaceful feeling to the area, better than screaming scumbags with their cans of ale and minty tracksuit bottoms though. 

I just didn't want to close my windows as its quite warm, what's with these cunts not realising that people might live around here and don't want to hear your folksy shite. 

I thought public transport was unbearable now you can't even sit at home without hearing the invasive twats, breaking down.

BMA backing the teaching unions and Liverpool the first council to officially say schools won't open until at least the 15th of June.

Interesting. I just read his piece. It was this time two weeks ago I started feeling sick - just a bit off, and some stomach discomfort. Had a stressful couple of days so didn't think anything of it more than tiredness/fatigue. Woke up on the Saturday morning felt like I'd been hit by a bus - terrible aches and pains and a cracking headache. I'd been feeling great up until then, working out every day, working on my laptop in the sun in my garden, no signs anything was coming. The only thing off was a sore shoulder, which I'd slept on funny. Anyway, felt awful, made it to lunchtime and ended up going to bed for three hours. Woke up feeling a bit better, went for a walk to the shop with the missus although I didn't actually go in (didn't think it was Corona cos I hadn't been anywhere in weeks). Developed a cough that afternoon. Went to bed about 9 feeling hot / cold. Checked my temperature about 10pm it was 38.8. Checked the NHS website - cough and temperature? Self isolate for two weeks. 

 

So here I am two weeks later. Still got a cough it's never gone away. Apart from that I started feeling fine about three days ago up until then still felt a bit off and tired and in no way ready to work out. Was it Coronavirus? No idea. Who knows? Had all the symptoms but just stayed in the house.

The whole presser just feels like a party political broadcast now. I won't watch it anymore.

They're nothing more than staged managed sideshows. They reek of it. The longer these long distance shitfests go on, the worse they'll get. There's no chance for any decent journo to put pressure on the people they're questioning.

 

Any answer given is often preceded by 'great question' or some other buzz phrase before the same inane drivel is spoken in replay. 

 

Remember before these pressers went digital the bumbling buffoon actually referred to it as an 'interrogation'.

An interrogation - or, as normal people would say, being asked questions.

Those militant Trots in the BMA in an unholy alliance with the fifth columnist headteachers. No wonder this country's going to the dogs.

I lost faith in modelling when Neil Ferguson said there would be 20,000 deaths in total.

I lost faith in modelling when they told me I was too fat, and too ugly.

 

Judgmental pricks.

I heard someone talk on the radio today about how people travelling to work are in more danger than teachers are.

 

Do these people say these things in their heads before a microphone is put in front of them?

Surely it depends on what you are modelling?

He said 500,000 too.

In fairness it probably will be somewhere between 20,000 and 500,000 so he was right!

This is another reason why the "just the flu" merchants need to give themselves a slap in the face.

Go on the dawgs.
