O/T Coronavirus Thread

[rolymiller]

Lets put it this way Howdy if a close family member of mine died because they could not get a hospital bed or a ventilator I would want to know why. Is that not a reasonable thing to do? Wouldn't you ask the same question in the same circumstances? Bearing in mind the warnings about pandemics as posted above. Or would you just say they were unlucky...?

Come on their is an element of avoidability here. Not saying everyone can be saved but more could be with good planning and the will to prepare...

Just announced on TalkSport Radio - 32 more UK coronavirus deaths so far today

Most of the deaths are in London, yet the pubs remain open. Not enough ventilators, not enough protective kits for front-line workers.

Boris claims "to get it done". F'ing unbelievable!

[caytonmiller]

No, I'm not on a wind up. I'm questioning the strategy used by this government. Germany and Japan , for example, have kept the number of deaths down more effectively than the UK has. Have a look at the figures - they are widely available. I could lose a family member or friend myself, or even die, that is why I am taking this matter seriously. If you want to close your eyes to that, that is up to you.

You could argue Mike that our death to victim rate is a lot better than most country's. to date
Tomorrow owt could happen
You could argue our situation is behind the curve. As I said to Roly. Not everything has to have a blame in this world. Something's are out of our control and you deal with the best hand delt. The government thinks the strategy they are using is the correct one. Time will tell as were no way near the end of it. Maybe it would help if folk followed the government guide lines.

Sorry but it looks like you’re enjoying the thread.

Germany and Japan have healthier populations.

Was it Grist that said use a gun ship on that ship? What would you suspect Russia and China would do?


Can’t be arsed to read any link you stick up Roly.

No way can a pandemic arrive and every decision be the right one.

A pandemic. No health system can be prepared for it.

This is the beginning and to be honest you two idiots have turned this thread into a pantomime.

Keep safe but don’t expect any sparring on this thread from me.

I did read the link Roly.

Here’s another:

Your point? All Tory is it??? Who do we blame?

There really no point.

Keep safe.

It's easy to keep safe here in the US as there's a televangelist who can cure me if I'm infected. All I have to do is walk up to my TV screen and touch his outstretched hand I'll be cured

Corbyn would have had the same health and scientific advisors as Johnson so doubt anything would have been different.

Crashbang, you are an ill-educuted aggressive idiot. Do you have Welsh connections, and if you do I know who you are.
