Club Penguin Royal - the intricacies of the monarchy etc

[yoloPenguinsEatfish]

Have taken the liberty of starting a new fred if no one else has?

They released a message to mums, moms, (but not mams) grans and nans

It was inoffensive.

It comes from the World Health Organization.

No, it doesn't. The WHO states "if you have fever, cough and trouble breathing, seek medical care early". That's not the same as if you show symptoms.

I have very mild symptoms which overlap those of COVID-19. I am quarantining, which is recommended, but is not yet mandatory where I live. I haven't sought medical advice because I don't have serious symptoms, and have had these symptoms off and on for a couple of weeks.

Our provincial health authority, and the feds, have released a self assessment tool. Based on that guide, despite the fact I "show symptoms", I don't even qualify to make a phone call.

We are encouraged NOT to visit a physician if presenting symptoms. In fact, because I have light respiratory issues, I had to cancel a doctor's appointment and when I called to cancelled, the nurse told me they are not admitting any patients with any signs of cold or influenza to clinics. If we have serious symptoms, we are first to phone to be screened, and if severe, to go to emergency. That is the same in several other provinces as well. So, SussexRoyal's advice on this point is inaccurate.

I was about to say what Winterlife says and what I have to say on this goes even deeper.

@FramboiseRoyale I hope you read this because you are wrong that it's WHO's advice. I know it's not WHO's advice as earlier on a Covid symptoms thread I'd looked up and posted the WHO advice. I'm symptomatic and was told by a Doctor last week I probably have it.

Not only is it not WHO's advice, SussexRoyal 'tweaked' the advice when reformatting it to their own colours and house style - pause and read that again, they put the WHO advice with the WHO logo into their own format and house colours and font.

I've attached (1) Sussex Royal's post with WHO's advice; and (2) a post on the WHO instagram account with a report from the footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. He'd posted the WHO official advice in the WHO official format. Even he didn't muck around with it, and he has 208M followers compared to Sussex Royal's meagre 11.3.

Compare and contrast Framboise. Then get back to me on whether you think Sussex Royal were responsibly passing on official advice from WHO.

Of all the things they've done, this is the one I'm properly angry about. Who do they think the are? Not WHO, that's for sure.*

(*@7Penguins that pun is going out to you x)

Sorry, typical, typo - repost from Cristiano and not 'report'. The poster he posted on Instagram is WHO's, then they reposted him.

Note the other differences too. The WHO poster (I don't know the correct term) is more specific about several things. Including providing a physical limit for social distance. In fact 4 days ago WHO said they were stopping using the term 'social distancing' and are now using 'physical distancing' because they want people to be social in other ways, like online, to keep up good mental health. Also, it's more specific and clear.

The posting on Instagram of the WHO poster by Cristiano Ronaldo was made 4 days ago, so before (or technically on the same day) WHO announced it was stopping using the term social distancing.

SussexRoyal are therefore lazily jumping on the bandwagon. They've tagged in WHO, which is quite right. But perhaps hoping that like with Cristiano, WHO will repost them. Hopefully WHO won't as the advice as amended by the Sussexes!!! is not accurate - yeah it's in the right ballpark, but it's not accurate and in times like these we need clear and correct official advice.

I'm sure they think they are collaborating with WHO to end the pandemic.

I wonder if they have permission to use the WHO logo. Given how much easier it is to re-post, whoever wrote that post went out of their way to copy the logo.

Anybody else would be in serious hot water for doing that without permission. They’ll probably get away with it because of Harry. (You can tell there’s no ‘team’ behind that Insta page, it’s just the two of them - no moderation of comments, poor writing, poor content. You wouldn’t pay someone to have that kind of content.)

Dandy's point is an important one. I wonder if this is 'what went wrong' with it all? Meghan arrived enthusiastically thinking that the public would want to hear what she/they have to say about...stuff, not realising that this can only happen in an absolute and not a constitutional monarchy (in the latter, taxpayers pay for visuals and silence, not voice), got her knuckles rapped, threw an almighty strop and buggered off? My point earlier in thread was that their view that the public were negative and the media were toxic does not stand up to evidence. Something went down at the castle - was this the decider?

I'm sure they think they are collaborating with WHO to end the pandemic.

Lol

@DandyPenguin excellent post and pun! I hope your symptoms are easing up

First rate post, Dandy.

Insightful post Dandy, brava

Oh crikey, Prince Charles has tested positive for CV (according to Sky News)

Really? That had been suggested on here. After all that carefully avoiding shaking hands too - but he will have come into contact with loads of people, so I guess that ups the risk. He will be well cared for though.

Oh dear.

I hope that he's OK and that he's not been near the more vulnerable members of his family recently

Just announced on BBC that Prince Charles has tested positive for Coronavirus . "mild symptoms" apparently

Interestingly he moved up to Scotland. Hmmm

That’s bad news, I hope he recovers quickly and hasn’t passed it on to HMQ and Camilla.

It’s proof they are human after all. As for “mild symptoms”, that can change. Posters’ accounts on the “lungs burning” thread has all the evidence you need.

...have all the evidence..,

Hope PC is OK.

Camilla tested negative

Watch the focus of the media change.

Why on earth has Prince Charles been tested when my DH - frontline doctor hasn’t been as there aren’t enough tests available.

Apparently he has displayed mild symptoms. He has wasted a test which could have been used by someone who really needed it.

I really hope he's okay and that it is mild. The notification flashed up on my phone but the news story just says "more to follow".

I really hope he hasn't passed it to Camilla, she must even more vulnerable as a smoker. He hasn't been with HMQ or the DoE for some time I think (but am very willing to be corrected on this).

Best Wishes to him for a speedy recovery

Crossed with Lunde. I'm glad Camilla has tested negative.
