Boris Has It ...

[andyb]

But hang on... E, F & G are the ones that are good to work... because they have the antibodies... and the patients they are treating already have the virus, otherwise they wouldn't be patients.

Some of A, B, C & D almost certainly already have the virus, as the tests were done 3 days ago and they've been working with E, F & G and we know that it spreads very easily.

Might be best to quarantine A, B, C & D and retest them every day for the next week... to see who hasn't got the virus. Any that do have it can work alongside E, F & G ??

It's complicated...

I can't belive you posted this without reading what you've actually put. Either that or you're just trolling.
You're saying that in your world if a doctor shows symptons of covid-19 and tests positive then he should be allowed back into the hospital and those that test negative should be made to stay at home.

I work in a carehome, and speaking for the carers a test to see if one has the virus or not, would be invaluable.

However, would the test be need to be taken at the start of the working week, or when finishing for the day or if you were feeling under the weather? Personally, if I was to wake up tomorrow morning with flu symptoms or sore throat etc, I would not go into work. Perhaps a test then might be beneficial, but coughing & spluttering might be concerning for the residents, even if its just a cold.

I think the only useful test would be to see if you were immune to the virus, but that I believe is some way off.

I sense you guys are arguing party politics, 'cos if it was a Labour Government, the shoe might be on the other foot, but you would still be arguing. Any Government takes its advise from its experts, in this case medical professionals. And they are arguing amongst themselves.

No... you need to re-read.

Are you finding there's a shortage of staff at the care home you work in as a result of the virus?

Not especially. While my views tend to come from the left rather than right, I certainly wouldn't be defending a labour government if their actions/inactions were any less than perfect under the same circumstances. And we can be fairly sure that they wouldn't be perfect.

Not sure anyone can be perfect, I guess they are trying their best.

Coronavirus: Health experts 'frustrated' by low UK virus testing

Some 2,921 people have died with coronavirus in UK hospitals, as PHE calls for more NHS staff testing.

www.bbc.co.uk

"In a video message on Twitter on Wednesday evening, he said: "I want to say a special word about testing, because it is so important, and as I have said for weeks and weeks, this is the way through."

Weeks and weeks apparently.

"Mr Johnson was speaking after it was revealed only 2,000 out of some half a million frontline NHS workers in England had been tested."

Ha, in his mind at least.
The spin doctors just can’t help themselves - NewSpeak here we come.

BBC a trusted source .. of Spin now ?
( sales talk - need a good test price --OR--)

[littlespark]

Boris has it, and is now taken into hospital. (As of 5th April)
Speedy recovery.

 

[Sintra]

Boris now in an intensive care unit.

Really hope he's OK.

 

[westward10]

Like him or not it will be tragic if he dies he is our Prime Minister.

 

[ipf]

Felt there was something a bit strange with the lack of info coming out. He looked rough during the clapping last week.

 

[JBW175]

Let’s hope he pulls through ok.

 

[littlespark]

Yes. Agree

Been reading some idiots on fb and other platforms saying they wish him dead, which is one step from a death threat.
They should be found and dealt with. Surely there’s a way to find these people.

Sicko's. Some evil sods around.

 

[SparkyChick]

Twitter and Facebook are cesspits of that kind of garbage. Sad little people wishing people dead just because they disagree with them.

Unfortunately that reflects the Great British Public, absolute idiocy making comments like that.

Don’t normally agree with anything Piers says, but he’s hit the nail on the head with this.

Only a tiny minority of the British public don't forget. The majority are normal people like you and me. And Buzz.

IMO, his leadership has been sterling,get well the country needs you.!

I fully agree.

 

[telectrix]

so do I. just imagine if cor blimey and flabbott had been in charge.

 

[Paul L]

Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott have gone back to the back benches. Whether anyone agrees with their politics or not is their business but come on guys less of the insults,they are human beings. If they were seriously ill would you be slagging them off? All of this transcends political views and whatever we agree or disagree with there's no need to keep mocking people

Get well soon Boris, you are a human being first and a politician second

 

[ipf]

Just had email....Yesss Electrical are branching out and doing COVID-19 test kits at £69 each.
Anybody know if they’re OK for Zs testing.....and....are they up to upcoming 19th edition standard?

 

[littlespark]

Is this fake news or not.

“Mobile phone mast vandalised through possible link between 5G and covid19”
(It wasn’t even a 5G mast!)

the number of idiots in this country is surpassing the number of corona infections.

Don’t think it’s fake mate it happening all over apparently and “celebs” are promoting it allegedly ?

 

[westward10]

The 5G launch coincided with the outbreak in China and people are putting two and two together and getting a hundred. Loads of so called celebrities are behind this indicating very low levels of intelligence.

 

[telectrix]

so it's nothing to do with bats being sold for food in China then. that's a relief. i just placed an order.

I've just ordered some Bats as well from China, they wanted to know if I wanted Cricket or Baseball , think I better get my teeth sharpened before they arrive.

Fully agree !! We need a strong PM like him now more than ever... he's gotta finish Brexit off too !

tomorrow it will be Phil Scofield, if he gets paid enough, like he's trying to get us to sell a car for half it's value (we buy any car.co.)

clicket bat, velly funny.

 

[littlespark]

Phil Schofield is still going to the studio, and still sitting close to holly willybooby.

At least Ant and Dec can broadcast from their own homes.

And if Piers Morgan would only present from his front room, we could mute him

To be fair I’d risk it to sit next to Holli every day ?

Do my eyes deceive me, or have some nasty posts been removed from here, since this morning? Been at work, so might have missed something.

Well done Mods if that’s the case.

I know its a bit of fun (Zs testing) but see the advice on the government website, as of 2nd April 2020 these types of kits are illegal to sell.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/guidance-on-coronavirus-covid-19-tests-and-testing-kits

We received the same sales email and it will take more than a badly translated flyer to convince us to part with our money

(Just had Email from Warrington Branch, that flyer wasn't supposed to be sent out)

Boris has now been released from hospital. Apparently now he’s going to stay at his official country retreat (2nd home). Is this not a bit hypocritical especially as the former Scottish chief medical officer did the same thing. Seems like different rules for different folk.

Probably keeping a bit of distance between himself and others. Not the same thing as the Scottish medical officer going for a family trip to their holiday home really.
