"The notion that Chinese officials 'reacted slowly' or 'dragged their feet' isn't accurate.

It looks more like Beijing knew what they were dealing with right away, but decided to withhold that information from the Chinese people and the international community because - because, why, exactly?"

Because the Communists always act the same. They care little for human life - just power and control over people lives.

How many masks do you want ?

"


All these masks are useless.

They stop the wearer spreading anything but do not protecting them from airborne particles/infected people around them

Now if we ALL wore one of those. a different matter...

Also you'd need eye protection as well...

January 29th 2020The UK's first two patients test positive for Coronavirus after two Chinese nationals from the same family staying at a hotel in York fall ill.

Think this virus was here before Christmas.
I had pneumonia too.
Hope there will be facilities for fruit pickers to wash their hands.
Doubt it though.Worrying.

I don't know if I mentioned this before but I work in a large City Centre office environment and around the end of January and throughout February we had people coughing and calling in sick all over the place. I know of 2 people in my own department who ended up with Pneumonia and in hospital. Strangely one of them kept being asked if she had been on holiday recently and if so where, they also kept taking blood tests but all of this was before the Coronavirus was reported as being on our shores.

I'm still at work and have been right through and ironically I've hardly heard anyone as much as sneeze for about 4 weeks now !!

MM2
Nearly half the staff in care homes (that have been tested) have had or have the virus,if you expand that to the nation, probably a third of UK have had it or got it!!!

There is the proof. If they have a good immunity and have no other health problems then their bodies can fight the virus off. It's just a shame they are passing it on to the most vulnerable.

Immunity is the key to beating this virus.

LADE, i agree 100% we have to get tested, what happened to the Government testing regime ?? yet another exposure of how shyte this government is !!!

[ladeside] 16/4/2020 12:19

The key to ending the lockdown is to get more testing done and done as quickly as possible.

I don't have any stats for England but it was confirmed yesterday that over 40% of all care homes in Scotland (from one end of the country to the other) have all had the virus in them, as such it makes you wonder what percentage of the wider population has ALSO had the virus already and fully recovered, most of them not even knowing they had it as either displaying no symptoms at all or just normal cold like symptoms.

This being the case, one could easily assume that the worst may in fact already be over.....

Just need to protect the vulnerable and the rest get back to work and hope we get a vaccine soon as pos.

Coronavirus has pushed the death toll in England and Wales to its highest level since official weekly statistics began 15 years ago, with fatalities running at almost 40% above the average.The Office for National Statistics said that in the week to 3 April, 16,387 people died in England and Wales, an increase of 5,246 deaths compared with the previous week and 6,082 more than the five-year average.

[aljm] 16/4/2020 12:04

Poikka, exactly the same scenario as Italy, Italy think the TRUE number of Covid 19 ONLY deaths is actually @ 15% of their TOTAL deaths, exactly the same here, ONS figures do not lie ! someone has checked back now 10 years, and this year is STILL lower than the 10 year average !!!

[poikka] 16/4/2020 12:03

Maxk - spot on.

The only "uncertainty" would be if Brexit were delayed further.

[poikka] 16/4/2020 12:01

"Meanwhile, MORE THAN nine in 10 people dying with coronavirus have an underlying health condition, analysis by the Office for National Statistics has found."

With the global economy already struggling, the IMF director Kristalina Georgieva said it would be "wise” not to “make it any tougher”. The UK should ask for an extension to its post-Brexit transition period to protect the economy from "unprecedented uncertainty" during the coronavirus pandemic.

But don't worry it will be alright on the night. I have read it here.
