Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[Tuerto]

I'm the caretaker of a Cardiff apartment block and there were quite a few Chinese students there in December. Remember them telling me their parents were coming over from China for a visit in early December then they would be all returning to China for the Christmas holidays.

China is huge with lots of people living there.

That's because many of the things I post about become true eventually.

Come on then what would you do differently to protect the economy? Have everyone go about life as normal?

[StraightOuttaCanton]

No, not dembe. Sorry it's inconvenient for you my wife suffers lupus and fibromyalgia...

You certainly post as much as he did and you tell it like it is as if it’s the only version of the truth that exists.

I’m personally and sadly acutely aware of auto immune diseases... but on a personal level I choose not to use my loved ones to support an at best tenuous link to a comment I make on here.

Making things up is not telling it like it is 😜

Many come true... suggests that some do not... which ones have and haven’t come true oh wise one?

[Croesy Blue]

How can this be true

You do realise a username is just that, nothing more? It's more ironic than anything else.

Using my loved ones? Making thing up?

**** you.

[Croesy Blue]

Yeah it’s him

[tell it like it is]

Yeah it’s him

Nah, it's not.

I'm happy to debate but I'm not a liar and not going to put up with some **** claiming I make things up about my wife's health.

[StraightOuttaCanton]

Nah, it's not.

I may have misinterpreted but my take was that you were making some spurious case about Chinese people in Cathays having infected your wife but had absolutely nothing to back it up other than a GP saying it might be a possibility.... you then proceed to give us your wife’s medical history?

[Tuerto]

Nah, it's not.

There's not much you can do about it, is there?

Just ignore those idiots.

30 million Americans could lose their private health insurance over the next few months, per new HMA report

Haven't found the HMA report yet but here is Guardian article explaining insurance related to ongoing employment for many in America: https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...alth-insurance

Meanwhile in UK:

Tragic news from Glasgow. Thirteen residents at a Glasgow care home have died in a week after a Covid outbreak.As I reported on Thursday, a care home manager described the sector to me “as a ticking time bomb, every day” This is why.

This is an interesting article:

It seems the Wuhan Center for Disease Control & Prevention is about 280 metres away from the food market where it is supposed the COVID-19 virus was first transmitted. It is reported that here scientists were working on viruses originating in bats. Surely a conspiracy theorist's dream scenario!

thats a fairly common thing, happens in Bath Uni aswell, parents visit for a few days then go back home to china with kids

[Croesy Blue]

3rd nurse died from the virus last night. ****ing shameless the amount of risk they’re putting themselves in for what is basically a pittance.

[lardy]

Wife said it was unprompted. It just didn't seem right for it to be a viral flu, she's had that before and it was a lot different in nature and effect.

It may not have been covid-19, without a test we'll never know. It wouldn't at all surprise me for it to have been present in UK and elsewhere before Christmas; highly infectious, low payload. Possible mutation? Who knows?

Is it normal for a GP to say 'by the way, a few months ago you probably had X', having done no tests for it? Do they do that sort of thing?

If it's highly infectious, is it likely to have laid low for weeks and then suddenly exploded all around the world at roughly the same time?

Define normal these days.

Maybe it's the case it was present, GPs weren't looking for it at that point or considering it? After all, in mid Jan WHO advised it couldn't go person to person. Maybe what we're seeing now is a mutation rather than the original? Who knows?

He puts them on a list don't ya know

So did you mrs ring and ask her GP if he thought she might have had coronavirus 2 months ago?

[Baloo]

Looks to have been big drops in new cases in Germany over the last 2 days.

Yes. The wife has been nagging me about it for the last 2 weeks.

Jesus Christ. At least tell us that the barbers was closed and there aren't more idiots out there thinking haircuts are ok?
