The chip on his shoulder is mental but apparently he acknowledges it more now which is sound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the stuff he picked up from the Chinese equivalent of facebook, I'm sure they've got their conspiracy theorists joining A and B to make Z too. I'm not saying it couldn't have happened, just that he didn't show any evidence other than rumour and conjecture, and I seriously distrust the motives of people pushing this agenda. It reminds me of the Russians and Craig Murray arguing that it couldn't be a coincidence that Porton Down was only a few miles from the centre of Salisbury. While Trump's backers are sounding increasingly warlike about China to deflect from his incompetence, I'm not going to take the word of an American vlogger without seeing his workings. Clearly didn't watch it then if you think all the info was taken off of weibo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both would say it was something to do with the way they were brought up, and the areas they were brought up in. I don't really understand.... Us English folk in the big cities are the good guys when it comes to voting. It's the ones in provincial towns that are the problem.

ICTChris Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 I used to follow and pay attention to laods of these political people on Twitter and now I don't and I don't feel any less informed or aware. 12 new deaths in Scotland from Covid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true_rover Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The Scottish figures break down into hospital / care home / home How accurate they are is a different questionAlso possible for England and Wales, but on about a 2 week delay. 90% of those registered by 3rd April were in a hospital. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only my personal experience but after 14 years, in and out of offices and construction sites, used to get my fair share of cold, chest infections, etc. Since, I have worked outdoors and been active for over 11 years , i rarely catch anything. There's alot to be said for vitamin D exposure from working outside, and its is still present on cloudy days but a little less so than when its sunny but it's still there. Exposure to vitamin D and fresh air did help somewhat regards TB and the Spanish flu, before we had vaccines and anti viral treatments. Anyway a nurse, informed me get your daily intake of vitamin C, D and zinc, and your immune system will be fortified. Zinc is especially good as a seek and destroy, anti viral. Maybe more learned people on here can advise further. Edited April 20, 2020 by Father Ted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is different now. I cant think of a single business who will be operating so close to normality atm that they can say with any real conviction that they can make a big change in their model and run as well when things go back to normal. None of this is to say some wont do it anyway. They will be stupid though, most likely 2 hours ago, WATTOO said: I saw an piece on Euronews and they were talking about waiters serving with masks and gloves on, tables spaced out and additional cleaning, spraying and disinfecting going on. Personally I wouldn't find that in the least bit relaxing or enjoyable so I can understand why people aren't rushing back if that's the way it's going to be. Hopefully people are much more hygienic after all of this. So many folk are disgusting minks who don't wash their hands after using the toilet and who are in general clatty scumbags. This applies to places like pubs and restaurants as well. Hopefully they're a lot cleaner and better provisioned when it comes to things like hand wash in the toilets. In fact add in football grounds. There are some grounds where I take a small bottle of hand gel with me because I know that their toilets don't have any hand wash, or indeed warm water. Yes Somerset, I'm looking at you, but some of the more modern grounds can be just as guilty (hello Tannadice).

madmitch Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Haven't seen much reference to this. The U.K.'s first instance of community transmission of the virus was March 1. Lockdown was announced on March 23rd. NZ 's first case of community transmission was reported on March 24 the country went into full lockdown on March 27th. Yet, the UK Govt. claiming that they weren't too slow in responding. NZ easing lockdown measures next Monday for two weeks then reviewing the alert level at the end of that period. Scotland 8187 cases 902 deaths. NZ 1440 cases 12 deaths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 4 hours ago, Bairnardo said: A few smoggies I know, and use as a barometer for the mood in the North East of England have managed to turn Coronavirus into a race relations thing, claiming that it's only the daft immigrants that cant follow the rules, and even dropped the classic "your only not racist cos they havent reached your country yet" line. Some boys the English. The North East are a special breed. Colleague of mine (Teesside resident) sat and told me this morning that Britain will be "booming" after this. His theory is that nobody will go abroad for years, choosing to holiday in the UK, which would suit him ideal as he owns a holiday cottage in Whitby. He also thinks the general public will support companies here by "buying British" to f**k the Chinese off. When I explained that the economic fallout could result in mass unemployment and and that money could be tight for several years, his response was "Boris will sort that out". I walked away at that point. Same man also said we shouldn't be repatriating British nationals from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Now I wonder why specifically those countries and not the US, Australia etc... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
