Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Recommended Posts

Hull City are the latest club to donate food ordered for matchday following the suspension of games, with Aston Villa confirming 850 staff packed lunches are being donated to support homeless charities. “With food having already been delivered to the Kcom Stadium for tomorrow’s game, the club was keen to ensure it didn’t go to waste,” read a club statement. “Fresh fruit, vegetables and sandwiches have now been passed over to FareShare Hull & Humber, a charity that redistributes surplus food to over 120 organisations throughout the region. The club are pleased that this surplus food will go to people who really need it.”

Italian sports reporters are very different to Scottish ones.

As much as I like Jane Dougall (who's on BBC News just now actually), I can never get this image out of my head:

Yeah sure lots will die because the disease can be fatal. Atm in Italy people who could survive are dying because there are not enough resources, ventilators, beds, to treat them back to health with. They are literally picking which people will.live in a and e based on what other conditions they have

 

That's what we need to avoid. 

Good luck with that.

People were being treated and left in hospital corridors at Crosshouse three weeks ago when I was down, so I dread to think what it will be like now.

"In the UK, where the regional carrier Flybe collapsed after the outbreak of coronavirus, fears that the wider aviation industry could follow have been raised further, with news of job cuts at Edinburgh Airport. The Unite trade union warned that Edinburgh, following Southampton airport, was on the brink of collapse without government help."

Just heard an Italian doc getting interviewed on the World Service saying he has a 49 year old in intensive care who was fit and healthy with no underlying health issues who is fucked by the illness. The doctor went on to say he thinks there may be a couple of different strains of the virus.  

Scary stuff. Might explain the number of deaths among relatively young health workers in China...

 

Oh and props to the doc for using the f word on the BBC World Service.

I see Brotish Airways are taking full advantage. Scum

Convenient timing for them. They were looking for the excuse to dump as many as they could.

It's the same as the absolute basketcase FlyBe blaming coronavirus for them going bust. They were fucked regardless, but got a convenient excuse
