Like I said, it’s a shame. But being kept indoors and staying on the computer too long can do funny things. Hope he’s OK

That’s a belter. Patronising, understanding, nice and a pelter all in one.

It would set me off anyway.

What's he bed blocking for?

Given that no 10 tells lies constantly, quite difficult to really believe any of this stuff now.

PS: Isn't non-invasive respiratory support oxygen? They're contradicting themselves. How is he getting the oxygen?

One of many drugs being mass tested for potency against Covid. I’d reiterate though that anti viral drugs currently being developed are the best shot at an effective treatment in the shortest time but that’s not to say there definitely isn’t one already out there.

Just don’t get your hopes up

tbf you've been jumped on a bit recently, so I don't *particularly* want to add to that but I think it comes down to a spot of critical thinking, as opposed to just blindly accepting what people tell you... and challenging what they tell you. You might after that still decide they're right, but you would at least come across a bit less like a spokesman for Righties R Us.

Anyway, the last bit kind of broke my own rule; this isn't necessarily about left v right, it's very different to normality so, in the interests of sanity, I'll leave you to it. Hell, I even liked one of your posts the other day

An epic meltdown that attracted more separate postive likes than any of your ill informed and anti democratic tripe and 2 PMs of support one of which specifically mentioned you as a reason they can’t be bothered to post on the forum until this is over

I think when you go back and look at some of what you wrote you’ll be a bit embarrassed. That’s not me having a go, but a bit like PVA you go so far into a position you can’t retreat from it

apparently India blocked imports of the drug and Trump threatened them, so they promptly lifted the ban

That's the one Trump keeps telling people to take isn't it. Normally swiftly followed by his scientific advisors saying not to. In news that will shock nobody seems he stands to benefit personally.

You ignored at least three links to the footage of Boris saying in person he shook hands with Coronavirus sufferers while linking the wrong interview as proof that it’s fake news before disappearing in a huff. How is that either rational or considered?

No idea. It properly kicked off on our conference call though.

People that carried holiday over or brought some are being told 'no refunds' essentially, and they have to use it in the next two months.

So everyone is prisoner at home and when it lifts have a six month period where they can only take 2 weeks off. Less than actually.

Again, it isn't a major problem if you get some perspective on the grand scheme of things. But it has still pissed me right off.

Seems to be a few companies using it as an excuse to do whatever they like and ignore normal HR procedures. We've been told no holiday will be allowed once we're back and this years raining allowance will be split between the next two years.

And the other key thing is that it diverts production towards people who don't need it, rather than those that do.

Disgusting. People in the US have died ODing on this since Trump started promoting it as a miracle cure.

I’ve just read 758 deaths in England today. Need to double check this.

UK coronavirus death rate hits new high as 758 die in last 24 hours in England alone and total victims passes 6,000
