Coming from the guy who says China ‘made’ the virus and that we’re only top of the death league because we’re better at recording than everyone else

wow! The same China who created the virus. everyone at the start saying how well Germany were doing. not hearing that argument now. end of the day. dealing with this ‘virus’ is impossible.for me it’s the same as normal flu. Life has changed for good. Every winter now will never be the same again. virus every year changes to different strains

Best mate taken into hospital this morning. Not too good. Steroids antibiotics and oxygen. He’s pretty overweight and has a high powered stressful job. Quite upbeat but it does bring it home to you.

Another overweight friend with diabetes in Sheffield spent about 10 days in hospital. Came out last week. He feels if he’d gone in in the peak he wouldn’t have come out. Once people have had a friend or member of their family affected they stop talking shit

currently watching a programme about Covid on ITV.
An ICU nurse said he's never seen anything like it including the aftermath of terrorist attacks but I'm sure a few experts on here know better.

Might have been a good idea, but then I remembered their borders are closed at the moment because their country is not run by fuckwits.

Worked two and a half days a week doing supply. Dropped my living costs as much as possible, though did initially live off the wife. Marriage broke down the first time halfway through my course so moved in with parents. Saying it now obviously not as easy as I make it sound

I can't find what I am looking for but it does look like Greater Manchester and Lancashire will be going into Level 3 Lockdown tomorrow (Wednesday) as well.

It does make it sound like the government is doing stuff whilst the virus is growing to a point where people are dropping like flies all over the country.

Great to see the politicians arguing with each other about this first round of lockdowns whilst the virus increases throughout the land leading to more deaths.

Does anyone know the rationality of why Coventry has not gone into Tier 2 whilst other local authorities in the area with lower rates of infection have?

All seems a bit random. The government seems incapable of taking charge if they're telling places they should be in certain tiers but having local authorities reject it. Add in there's seemingly no threshold for going in to certain tiers and it all seems a bit like guesswork which yet again makes it harder to get the public onside.

We’ve had a few confirmed cases but I’m certain loads more have just been asymptomatic.

Constantly fiddling with the guidance to keep numbers being sent home as low as possible.
Will go to shit though when we have teacher directly spreading to pupil or vice versa.

Has CCC been offered the chance to go into Tier 2 but choose to support the local economy rather then the well being of its residents?

I never once said they made the virus, I said they lied about it and who didn't do there proper research and that caused it to spread everywhere rather than locking down the country way before they did had they simply done there job.

Feel free to go back and check.

Hi Kieran. Even though you don't seem to be able to take on any of the information given to you I thought I'd try again...

We are currently...

8th in the world total deaths

4th in the world total of new cases for today

12th in the world total of deaths per 1 million of population

5th in the world total number of deaths

(Please bear in mind excess deaths show OUR deaths have likely been under-reported)

We are the 21st most populated country and the 14th most densely populated.

I got 4 As at A-Level, including English Lang and Lit and a 2:1 from Sussex uni, which has an excellent reputation for Eng Lit...considered a PGCE as an English teacher and got turned down because I didn’t have a Maths GCSE...I took the exam about 6 times and just couldn’t pass it.

That's madness. 4 As at A level should be enough to indicate suitable intelligence to teach. Although if you are that smart, how come you follow City?

I don't thi k it was deliberately started, I just belive China lied and tried to cover up how much shit they were in and who had reports of human to human transmission in like October and they went and looked and reported it wasn't true now look, I'm not blaming them alone there's 1000s of contributing things that could of been done different including flights from certain areas earlier,

Haven't read much of the thread, but I wish the government would shut everything down for 4 weeks, give all adults (18plus) £2-3k each to cover that period, so that people can pay bills, eat etc. Businesses don't have to pay staff for this period and hopefully we disrupt/break the threat of this virus. Feels like it wouldn't cost any more than the piecemeal measures. Probably laughably naive solution, otherwise they would have implemented something similar, but tweaking aside, it would protect most people and most businesses.

National basic income in anything but name for a period of 6 months. There has to be a way of getting through this. if They can afford to pay £2500/ month for some for 6 Months then they need to be creative now As well.
