I too wish Boris the speediest recovery but I am fearing the worst as each update is revealing more and more. Number 10 need to just be completely honest with us from this point on and should have been the whole time. We’ve gone from ‘Boris is fine folks, really’ to being in intensive care within a day. We don’t need reassuring if there isn’t anything reassuring to say, it’ll only make things worse in the long run.

Sympathies from me to any of you stressed out by this. Keep your mental health in mind & don't go too deep. Xo

So Trump’s been pushing Hydroxychloroquine as the miracle cure. A report by the New York Times states “he has a "small personal financial interest in Sanofi, the French drugmaker that makes Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine".

 

The report also suggests that several other pharmaceutical companies also stand to profit - including those with shareholders that have connections to Trump.”

 

Profit over people’s actual lives. Wow.

Corona has been known for this though. Not saying they're 100% honest but it has been known that patients experience mild conditions, start feeling better only for them to crash in record time. I thought this was because the immune system could go into overdrive in something called a cytokine storm

Always been the driving force of the worst sorts of rich elites, profit over people's lives is how they got into their positions. And indeed the same types of people were advocating a few weeks back to keep the economy open in spite of the deaths doing so would cause, just this crisis is making it more starkly apparent.

No new cases in China today for the first time since January!

 

Also, the genuine fear I have that we're going to receive breaking news about Boris passing is so real. I pray he makes a speedy recovery!

There are quite a few countries in Europe looking at easing restrictions. Denmark and Norway have been quick off the mark to announce. Leaked documents suggest that Germany is looking likely to start easing from the 19th of April.

 

Social distancing will be the new normal, with Germany expecting some form of restrictions for the rest of the year, but we (as in the world at large) should be able to go back to restaurants and start seeing friends again in the near future which is great for all of us. Unless of course people act like arseholes and we end up with a giant second wave

You just KNOW that if (let’s hope it’s a when though!) he gets better they will downplay the events and make it seem like they had everything under control which is obviously not true.

I would say that restaurants and bars may be the last places to open if restrictions are reduced it'll be important business and the civil srvice that'll start working in offices again and it'll go from there I would imagine.

Amazing news :heart:

It was bad the minute he was rushed to hospital on a Sunday night with an announcement coming alongside the Queen's speech. I really hope he recovers but their downplaying throughout is frustratingly transparent.

Yeah the constant updates alone made me think it was worse than it sounded.

I see Trump is shifting the blame onto WHO as he’s withdrawing funding! He continues to still astound me after all these years

He has also said, just days after blaming Obama for not procuring tests for a virus that didn't exist, that testing policy is nothing to do with him. He can't even make up his mind whether something is the president's responsibility or not.

 

Meanwhile, Dominic Raab (acting PM, God help us) won't say whether the lockdown measures will be extended beyond next week, insisting it is too early to decide. Surely almost nobody ever expected them to end after three weeks. The only decision must be whether to extend them for a further three weeks (the most likely outcome IMO) or for a shorter period. Why try and hold out hope of them being abandoned (or relaxed) when, realistically, there is no chance?

Several more key posts in government in the US are now also vacant, Trump still using every opportunity to dismantle government entirely as per Brannon's intention, followed by the usual "blame those who warned about anything" to continue to make himself appear the victim rather than the murderer. Metaphorically speaking. Except where his actions have led to deaths.

 

Wasn't Raab the one who was surprised Dover was a main link to France for goods? Fills me with confidence. Apparently good at advising on legal documents. Presumably as long as they have no plans attached. I think we are all hoping Boris gets well soon.

I think that was the reason for putting Rasb in charge - make people actually want the liar back.

Unfortunately it has been announced that 936 people have died overnight due to Coronavirus pushing the death toll to 7,095 in the UK :(. Seems like the prediction that death toll here would be over 1,000 over the Easter period is coming true.

Edited April 8, 20205 yr by Gerald

Yes, I'm now getting confirmations from friends in London of people they know dying from it. It's hard to ignore when local people suddenly die from it. The USA equivalent for population will be around 4 or 5,000 a day. Anything less and they are doing better than the UK, anything more and they are doing worse. A lot of the US are isolated communities, a lot of them are big cities. The cities will be the ones with the huge death tolls, especially poverty-stricken areas with no health care. Or, "democrats" as Trump might call them, ahead of the election coming up where his fanbase is rural or small town..

I'm finding it hard to believe those numbers are related to Coronavirus though. Love to see the numbers of the World Population before this outbreak happened, and compare that data to now. Are the government telling us porky pies.

Also there are some blurred lines as to whether the figures represent those who have died directly from the virus itself or those who have died from other complications but just had the virus at the time.

This 100%. Lots of people are being reported in the coronavirus offical figures when they either probably going to die already or were in pallative care. Plus if the death is recorded as coronavirus the body is released quicker etc.
