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

Just ignore those idiots.

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.

Re: Coronavirus update

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!

Re: Coronavirus update

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.

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

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.

Re: Coronavirus update

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?

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

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