Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Recommended Posts

Glasgow uni locking up its gates. Security guard said folk were in the grounds drinking, graffiti daubed on flagpole and generally acting like it was a normal bank holiday. Just at that families were coming into roll Easter Eggs down the slope at the front 🤷🏾‍♂️

Heard from woman I know from walking the dog, her best friend passed away from Covid 19. No comorbidities. Also a mutual friend lost her son to it yesterday. Had cold like symptoms. He was a nurse, went to work at QE Hospital felt worse and dead within 45 minutes.  Feel for his mum as she’s been housebound due to chronic back pain and might struggle to even get to his funeral. Only 34 years old. Did have some underlying health issues including asthma.

A couple of mates have been diagnosed with it but have both been discharged after assessment.

I’ve obviously missed something. Can anyone enlighten me?

He wasn’t happy about the general consensus that most on here think all Tories are c***s and tried to compare it to bigotry and racism, ie what would happen if someone came on here and said all catholics and/or black people were scum. 
 

edited to add, appropriately enough, in the heads gone thread.

Seems pretty genuine to me. It’d be almost funny to imagine Trump doing something similar.

 

Boris? Yeah I would be too having gone through that. Just because someone isn’t on a ventilator doesn’t mean they aren’t at risk of not making it home safely.

Uk and US had very similar approaches. Head in sand then an alternative approach to countries irks SK and Germany to ensure the economy was the priority. when the bodies starting to pile up and projections had death rates at a number that couldn't be fudged or downgraded through misdirection or contradiction, then sensible measures were introduced. Wonder what the two countries have in common......


The USA has a president who thinks a scarf will do the trick, and that staying at home is equally as dangerous. It’s entirely unfair to compare the two.

Out on Easter Sunday. I never saw that one coming.

Maybe he actually died on Friday and we were just never told

I’d be cross if that’s true.

But all tories are scum though, they either gleefully vote for their policies which kill the poor and erode public services or vote for them to ensure the rich get richer in spite of the aforementioned.

I'm very pleased that Boris has survived coronavirus  - he was obviously in a bad way with it, and it's encouraging that the NHS, with all its foreign and European personnel, have got him through this critical ordeal.

I have to wonder all the same, if your average Tom, Dick or Harry would have received similar round the clock care and attention. Would they have lived to fight another day?

People make Glasgow.

Not that my own fair city doesn't have its own morons. A mate keeps moaning about the tinks upstairs having parties.

There was a thing on twitter a week or two back about a Scottish consultant breaking down because a nurse dropped dead, wonder if that was your friend's son?

Nah, happened in the last couple of days. Makes you wonder about the 19 deaths figure 🤷🏾‍♂️

I was seriously ill a few years back (sepsis). The nurses in Hairmyers were remarkable. They 100% stayed at my bedside during the couple of touch & go days at the start. Saved my life no question. I think it’s just in them no matter who you are.
