If the plumbing in 10 Downing Street had as many u-bends as governments policy, Boris would be eating his own s h i t.

I don't normally get involved in the politics threads, but you clearly know sod all about plumbing. Though clearly lots about talking sh1t (I don't mean sh1t that talks as obviously that would be Trump).

Nurses not being required to social distance or wear masks for a training session at Hillingdon hospital leads to super spreader event. Absolutely unbelievable.

Is it even 'plumbing'. I would have thought it came under 'drainage'? Plumbers don't do drainage, big blokes with a set of rods in the back of the van, tend to. Sid the Pirate knows nowt, me hearties................

What ever your political persuasion I fear for Boris.
He looks terrible, black eyes and bags underneath he looks ill.

Looks like any new dad having to lead his country through a pandemic to me.

No problem, Cummings is the man leading the country. All Boris has to do is rehearse his lines, shake his fist a lot and look vaguely competent.

He's not even managing that, but maybe it's a problem with his eyesight. He should probably go for a drive with his partner and kid to test it.

May or may not be related but....

Given the multi-organ effect of COVID-19 on the body, survivors may have a variety of long-term effects on their organs.....
As we are still in the throes of the pandemic, and at a relatively early stage of a new disease, it is too early to tell what COVID-19 survivors are likely to experience in a year’s time. Some researchers are concerned, however, that just as with SARS, many people with the new coronavirus will go on to develop post-viral chronic fatigue syndrome.
The uncertainty of the future for COVID-19 survivors is why several long-term cohort studies (that study genetic and environmental factors in large groups over a period of time) have been repurposed to study the physical, mental and socio-economic consequences of the pandemic.

Of 43 patients analysed, 10 had brain disease with delirium or psychosis, 12 had inflammation, and nine had acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (a rare neurological disorder which results in swelling in the brain and spinal cord). Eight had strokes and a further eight had peripheral nerve problems.


So whilst we can't rule out exaggerated numbers of fatalities, this virus could still turn out to have very serious lasting effects on people.
