Worried About Coronavirus- thread 35

New thread

Is that a green moomin @ClientQueen?

marsha even the elderly could have quite a few years of quality life. Someone in their 70s could live 30 years and be enjoying their retirement and grandchildren.

And their grandchildren will have memories of them.

@TheStarryNight a frog apparently!

Lizzy I agree. I’m not convinced about the claim re who is dying now. How can we know? I guess at the end of the year when all the numbers are in.

MrsHoho yep I bet a lot

@mrshoho I'd also like to know how she can afford to have $18.7 million of stock in the first place. Junior senator ...

Do they look into insider trading? No idea if it would qualify.

Her husband is a director of the NYSE

She's saying it was all done by a third party who looks after her investments.

Hmm I wonder if there was a phone call to that third party.

isn't it the lowest of the low that there will be a privileged few who profit from this disaster. But then we shouldn't be surprised as has been this way through history.

On a sad note depressing news coming from our local hospital of further dr deaths and nurses intubated in ICU. Waiting to hear official news of this though. Desperate times.

Police and prosecutors are being urged to prioritise only urgent cases where suspects would normally be detained and those relating to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fresh advice published jointly in Thursday by the Crown Prosecution Service and the College of Policing, says that while the outbreak continues, “careful consideration” must be given to what new offences are fed into the criminal justice system and” how those offences are progressed”.

It notes that courts are “currently unable to start any new jury or summary trials and most current trials have had to be stopped because of problems over the attendance of victims, witnesses, defendants, advocates and jurors”.

Cases deemed to be “immediate” are those where the police or investigators seek a charging decision that would lead to a remand in custody.

Curiously even though the above says police are only going to prioritize the most serious cases, they still have time to pursue revenue generating speeding tickets. Saw two police cars checking speeds along a 15 mile stretch of (mostly deserted) motorway on my way to work this morning. Haven't they got better things to do? Very low risk of accidents on the motorway with virtually no traffic

Yes I’m curious what the police are actually doing at the moment. Crime must be low, burglaries less, traffic incidents less. If anyone works for the police let me know.

I would have thought they’re policing the lockdown to ensure compliance 🤔

Iran is still on 100 deaths per day - doesnt really vary at all for 3 weeks surely they must realise that is totally unrealistic to be true

@Mary1935 probably dealing with the crimes that will come as a result of being locked down - domestic abuse, child abuse, people being scammed online, old people being taken advantage of... All whilst trying to keep morons from breaking the lockdown guidance. I’m pretty sure they’re not sat twiddling their thumbs.

My DH company is being inundated with work for CCTV systems & guarding from companies/ buildings & sites etc. They are having thefts Break inns and burglaries.
Our Police locally are down manpower by 15-20% due to CV

Does anyone think the lockdown will be tightened further, and if so, how?

The weekend worries me - as with a good weather forecast, the covidiots will no doubt be out in force.

BoJo still has mild symptoms but will still end his 7 day isolation tomorrow.

I'm lost for words.

Hearing nothing about Matt Hancock.

I think he's OK now. His IG videos have been quite frequent and he seemed fine.

Boris on the other hand hasn't looked great.

How can he end isolation while still showing symptoms??

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near Boris while he is still symptomatic, even if the 7 days are up

Mrshoho that's so upsetting about medics.

Hopefully they were infected before anyone understood the nature of the problem?

It seems too soon for them to have been overwhelmed by the exposure, hours, numbers, exhaustion.

I think Downing Street have said he may not end isolation as he is still showing mild symptoms
