China Coronavirus

[RadioGAAGAA]

I see the wet markets were up and running again.

Some say that in Asia they trust the wet markets rather than the supermarket!

Seriously?

FFS.

Thanks for the link.


I see its an opinion piece of a market trader.

"And don't overlook the possibility that a key ingredient in Covid-19's genetic cocktail isn't wild game, but domesticated livestock."

Completely unfounded.

Common thought train at the moment is it came from a bat to pangolin and then onward.


To be fair, I don't have a problem with wet markets in themselves - but the standards they are held to need to be upped dramatically:
(i) no wild animals.
(ii) proper separation of stock by class. Mammals away from reptiles away from fish etc.
(iii) acceptable hygiene standards observed for slaughtering.

Boris' girlfriend not doing so good either by the sounds of it.

Dominic "let the pensioners die to ease the pressure on the economy" Cummings has had symptoms, and his uncle (Lord Bath) died two days ago.

Hopefully there is a death bed nice and handy to lie the c**t out on.

10 day fever is pretty serious. Was talking to a doctor today who said he didn't believe the routine tests story. They don't admit a 55yr old to do that. Apparently 10 days in is the stage where some people get really unwell really fast.

If it were routine tests, they'd have had them done in Downing Street.

No he is isn't in great shape. Still is possible he could get through this but I suspect he's a lot worse than is being let on.

Jesus this would be a fair old shock if the leader of the uk died from this.

Boris moved to ICU. Not looking great for him.

Of course they were saying earlier that he was sitting up in bed doing the paperwork. They could have just said that he was taking it easy, but lying is too deeply ingrained.

[RedHand88]

Even now they are playing it down, saying it's a precaution. They don't send someone to ICU as a precaution.

Isn't his girlfriend pregnant?

[screenexile]

The US said at the weekend that with mitigation they're looking at a best case of 100-240k deaths from the virus but it looks like they're not trending anywhere near that is it a possibility??

Obviously the less deaths the better but has Trump been lowering the bar so that he can pretend he's handled everything "tremendously like nobody's ever seen before"??

I don't know much about these things and I'm happy to be told I'm wrong as it happens a lot but it doesn't seem to add up.

Yep, this is a wile handlin of a disease.

She has it also, but may be better, she is younger.
Boris strikes me as someone that may have a puffed a cigar or two.
