Worried About Corona Virus- thread 33

[RosieSunset]

New thread

Chris Ship - 'From Buckingham Palace after Prince Charles news #coronavirus: “The Queen remains in good health. The Queen last saw The Prince of Wales briefly on the morning of 12 March and is following all the appropriate advice with regard to her welfare.” We will not be commenting further.” '

So Prince Charles can get a test but our doctors and nurses can’t? Disgraceful. Time we had a republic.

Think the monachy popularity will grow during this period of enhanced nationlism - which might be permanent - people will turn even more anti immigrant after this.

@Petiolaris -
If we had a republic, I suspect the president and vice-president would still get tested (look at US), so I'm not sure if that would really solve your objection to heads of states and their "deputies" getting tested.

At the midnight Spain had more than 630 deaths registered on worldometre. So so sad

just to lighten the gloom a little

I’d be very interested to know what his mild symptoms are. He’s obviously not got a fever and or cough but he can be diagnosed.
It’s a shame that front line staff can’t be tested.
I heard today that it’s Italy and America make these tests and they are obviously holding onto them.
We in uk are doing them but only a small amount.
This came from a reliably source.
Why aren’t the government giving this info to the public.
Jeremy hunt would know this.
Time to switch off the TV as it will be about price Charles all day now!!

Robert Peston - 'Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals Trust has postponed all cancer surgery and chemotherapy to protect patients and cope with #Covid19 crisis. See attached. This will cause such anxiety to those with cancer and their families. And shows agai why we all...'

This will kill people.

Trump seems to implying he might permanently end a lot of tourism to the usa.

Hi I haven't kept up to date since yesterday afternoon

What has trump being doing?

He’s obviously not got a fever and or cough

And you know that how exactly??

If cornvirus kills under 20k more than that will die from delayed cancer treatment.

Why do i think after this the right wing press will push for an insurance based healthcare

BBC Breaking News - 'Spain's coronavirus death toll exceeds China's, becoming second highest in the world.'

Millions will prefer the idea that if you pay you get fast tracked treatment like in america.

Trump has expressed disappointment Mitt Romney didn't have it and now is setting the scene for revenge on china.

Some good news (and widely reported)

Sadiq Khan - 'Construction workers are still going to work and using public transport. You can’t keep a safe distance on sites so the virus will spread and more people will die. I’ve repeatedly asked Ministers to ban non-essential work. Scotland already has - as has TfL. We need action today.'

Sky News Breaking - 'The Spanish health ministry says 3,434 people have now died in Spain after testing positive for COVID-19 meaning the country now has more reported deaths than China according to data from Johns Hopkins University.'

@Quartz2208 That is good news!

I have just seen the Chris Whitty stay at home advert and its kind of creepy. He doesnt blink the whole time right till the very end. Weird!

Mild CV seems to be usually: a cough, a fever, the worst "flu" ever, knock out tiredness, and maybe a real struggle to breath (needing to sleep sitting up), but isn't needing to go to hospital, never mind being admitted to hospital. Tom Hanks has "mild" CV and was hospitalised.
Some people may get asymptomatic CV but we'll only really know if we get the antibody test.

But where is Chris Whitt’s? Anyone seen him?

@Eeyoresstickhouse Chris Whitty does seem to blink a bit less than average.

@sansasnark I had never noticed before and now it will be all I am looking at. Although he does seem to be MIA so maybe he is isolating.
