Thereisalight.. Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Just saw that a woman who died in California on Feb 6th was confirmed to have coronavirus. The first “official” US death from it was Feb 29th. Not beyond the realms of possibility to accept it was in the UK and killing people way before the first official death. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider that the virus seemingly takes four weeks from catching it, to eventually killing someone, therefore it most probably was in USA in January, so every chance it's been prevalent in the UK since, maybe even early February 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more hospices or home palliative care. My stats appear conflicting to yours, so who's are correct ? Is it a Government conspiracy that Bupa are also in on ? Do we honestly believe that everyone who's died over 75 (accounting for over 80% of the total deaths) would all have lived for at least another 10 years ? I don't and no amount of facts and figures will convince me otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already know there were deaths here before March 5th,the ONS' own data carried 3 deaths onto the beginning of their tables, it's been mentioned in here on numerous occasions.

I don't and no amount of facts and figures will convince me otherwise. I've no idea how long folk would have lived but 93% having no serious comorbidity certainly doesn't fit with the narrative we've been spun over the last 5 or 6 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read there was two deaths, both in Santa Clara, California well before the supposed first death. The one on the 6th and another on the 17th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I'm not convinced people are any more stupid or selfish than they were in the past. I'm in my fifties and I remember how utterly shite a lot of people were when I was young.They weren't any less stupid, f**k no. Arguably we're more intelligent, in a balanced sort of way - but we know less shit off by heart so old folk think young folk are stupid. But that's a whole other thing. Technology and modern life has made us more reliant and less resilient, as a society. Remember power cuts used to be a thing that happened regularly? Now they never do. It's a natural thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a couple of weeks of daily phonecalls from me and my siblings to get my over 70s parents to take it seriously. We had a breakdown call out last week. 76yo with breathing difficulties who drove from Scone to Perth so he could buy his paper and rolls from Tesco rather than the shop 5 minutes walk from him, because he fell out with the shop owner a few years ago...

pub car king Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 In my opinion not enough diy shopping boomers are being struck down. I'm not wishing them dead bit of a fair few of them got a dose they might wise up a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky88 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) The standard of question to Sturgeon at the daily briefing is atrocious. They are basically all asking 'When is Nando's going to open' in slightly different ways. Edited April 23, 2020 by sparky88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because you can't trust a word the UK govt puppets say because they're constantly changing their story and being vague as f**k / evasive about what they're asked. At least she seems to be pretty honest and up front and will (mostly) answer the questions she's asked. Dont expect c***s like philyerboots to agree with that mind you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Yet another day of Sturgeon being asked and answering the same questions. Also she said some forms of social distancing to be in place for the rest of year. Yet I’m sure Silverburn and Braehead will be heaving when the shops open back up again -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Update on the old dear - She's been put down on the list for today's tests but they will come to her rather than her going to a drive through facility since she has no way of getting there on her own.
