alr Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Go back a couple of pages and look at today's YouTube from Dr. John Campbell. He explains all.Have just got through all of the posts since last night so fair enough. There's a fair amount of false information doing the rounds as usual so seeing it shared as 'true or not' is what bothered me. The only public health info I'm currently taking seriously is from the good Doctor Leitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only public health info I'm currently taking seriously is from the good Doctor Leitch. Fair comment. Campbell, however, appears to be quite authoritative and I don't think he's being called out on his info. TBH, he's giving a better public service than some of the 'politicians'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotel allowed us to store things there after the wedding until today. Just discovered that someone has genuinely stolen a wedding card for a single roll of toilet paper. What a fucking world.

Not sure if its linked to how many people they're testing or what. I think the same thing's happened in Scandinavia - only testing in hospitals now. The running totals are insane in terms of avoiding panic, but unfortunately this will make people think the death rate is even higher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Richard Branson eh.... The peoples billionaire, man of quotes like "train your people so they are able to leave, treat them so they dont want to" Another one showing his true colours. This is "we are all in this together" all over again. Some people simply looking for other to take the hit on their behalf. Utter utter c**t of a man. Hope he catches it and dies. In other new, my local Sainsbury's has been panic bought out of Stella, Corona and Bud. Tennents supply seems safe for now but this is a worrying development 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The Norwegian Refugee Council, one of the major NGOs helping refugees worldwide, has warned that the coronavirus will decimate refugee communities if countries do not act now, Jon Henley reports. Jan Egeland, the organisation’s secretary general, said: "As world leaders brace for the worst within their borders, they must not abandon those living outside them. We must turbocharge our humanity and stand in international solidarity with refugees and displaced people during this time of widespread uncertainty." Egeland,a former senior United Nations official for humanitarian affairs, said millions of conflict-affected people were living in cramped refugee and displacement sites with desperately poor hygiene and sanitation facilities. "When the virus hits overcrowded settlements in places like Iran, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Greece, the consequences will be devastating. We must act now. There will also be carnage when the virus reaches parts of Syria, Yemen and Venezuela where hospitals have been demolished and health systems have collapsed." He called for national contingency planning to include vulnerable communities inside countries’ borders and more flexibility from donors so that humanitarian organisations could scale up water, sanitation and hygiene facilities “and take other necessary actions to help avoid a catastrophe”. Coronavirus “doesn’t discriminate or play politics”, Egeland said. "Neither should the world when it comes to supporting those most at risk of contracting the illness." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
