Coronavirus

[JD450A]

Here's the key issue.

Our value for human life is so very precious now that any action that could save but one person is seen as a necessity. Crippling our country for the sake of lives is seen as critical and any government that didn't do that would be seen as immoral and wrong!

You can't blame the government for doing as it expects it's people would wish. But coming out of this I expect there will be some serious pondering over the true value of human life

Guys, a mate of mine sent me this and I'm not one to fall for fake s**t easily but this makes sense. I know having chatting to @JD450A and @TiltyShaun that there has to be something more to this virus and weaponized 5G bats make total sense when you consider that just before this all kicked off, the Gov were talking about kicking China out of our 5G network. Now they've had revenge.
And you cant argue that us switched on people in the construction industry are taught to keep away from bats. Every time they are discovered on a site, the job stops. That's to keep us away from the truth!
This shits real people, get with the game!

How deadly is the coronavirus? It's still far from clear

In announcing the most far-reaching restrictions on personal freedom in the history of our nation, Boris Johnson resolutely followed the scientific advice that he had been given. The advisers to the government seem calm and collected, with a solid consensus among them. In the face of a new viral...

Hysteria forced the UK into lockdown and will kill more than coronavirus

JUST two years ago, in the Beast From The East winter of 2017-18, a flu epidemic prematurely claimed the lives of more than 50,000 frail and elderly victims. In the official jargon, these were “exc…

The trouble with the Virus computer modelling is the same as the Brexit Economic forecasts.

s**t in s**t out.

No one, knows anything. They can predict all they want but those predictions tend to be way out. May aswell just put random s**t on a load of scrap paper pieces throw it in the air and throw a dart and see what sticks.

On other news from the reports of it apparently being not as dangerous as first thought, in the last week a 13, 14 and 21 year olds have all died with apparently no former conditions

I saw an article where it was suggested the 21yr old might have had a heart attack. The coroner named cause of death cov19 but hospital said otherwise With so many news reports who knows who to believe!?

With so many news reports who knows who to believe!?

Fk knows.

Simple fact is when your time is up it's up..... Yes the young victims are all supposedly healthy, but is that due to them being fit as fiddles or perhaps they just haven't had there underlying problems come to the surface yet.... and Corvid has snuffed it out before they can?

Last year Spurs made £113 million profit,now they've furloughed all non playing staff,so the tax payer picks up the bill?
Richest football league in the world going cap in hand?????.?

Yet there are still wankers winging about the S/E claiming all they can get and keeping working....

I'm just waiting for the first grant.... pressure is off then and i'll be kicking back and trickling along alright.

 

[Jimoz]

I was thinking Newcastle United done the same which has attracted negative publicity, but then after his apology for staying open he offered all his sports direct lorries for nhs use. What a mess is he better or worse off?! Nobody will remember the free offer of lorries now just the furloughing of non playing staff. Muppet.

 

[Jimoz]

That 21 year old tested negative in the end. Some normally healthy probably are succumbing to it but as @JD450A says how do we know they were not just undiagnosed with underlying condition?
I've been swimming in the sea in oz and took my chances with regards getting bitten by a shark. Same with crossing the road here or struck by lightning. I'll take me chances with this. Problem is again it's political suicide for any govt to let us crack on.

Australian government wants s to keep mining sector working

Resource ministers unite to keep the sector operational

The Australian Government has continued to work with state and territory ministers and the resources sector to ensure critical projects keep operating during the coronavirus pandemic.

Anyone else found that as much as the government want construction to keep running that all the middle men(merchants) have all but shut down now? Yesterday I got the last load of concrete blocks from CCP, they are shutting down until at least after Easter.. I wonder what it’s going to take for the industry to ramp back up again? I can see well over 50% of companies being wiped clean and going bust!

Just to add some context, many of the Australian mine sites are so ridiculously remote that you'd be hard pressed to find a better quarantine site.
(Not suggesting the decision was made for any reason other than economic)

 

[TiltyShaun]

Merchants that have furloughed there staff need to stay closed for 3 weeks to comply with the rules of claim. Here after Easter seems to be the day that they will resume deliveries only.

 

[Jimoz]

@DaveDCB yep can't really get owt. I found this odd merchant open but the stuff is either wank or unseen (timber). Once I've ran out of stuff I'm just going to have to pause. And of the week prob

absolutely ... I lived for 53 years without my 'underlying' inherited issue surfacing, 'til me body said enough-we're shutting down .... same doc.s saved me as are fighting this s**t now ... but some just aren't save-able

 

[Smiffy]

You also have to wonder about things that aren't underlying health issues
Looking around at work the other day noone has underlying health issues and all are considered fit healthy however
Several smoke 40+ a day
A couple are severely overweight
Several don't eat any form of vegetable
One drinks nothing but redbull
A couple go to sleep at like 2am everyday
All of us have worked in horribly dusty environments some of the older guys with asbestos
And there are some who I'm sure spend there weekends sniffing ketamine of bathroom floors
None of these are underlying health issues but they all compromise the body's ability to fight of the virus

I think most of those constitute underlying issues Smiffy ..... Redbull's effects on the body are massive and should not be under-estimated as are most of the others listed
