Christ! I was planning to see them this summer.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill

Some of you lot are very strange individuals.
The data from 2010 does not separate general from acute, and the data before is not adjusted for population.
If you fiddle around with the graph here you can see acute beds per capita adjusted for a lot of countries. The UK does not stand out as governments change or compared to its neighbours - the only one that does is Korea.

Struggling to find empathy for BoJo, he wanted herd immunity after all.
Boris too? This is rife. It’s absolutely everywhere.
Think the bloke from Imperial was bang on, gonna be countrywide in a couple of weeks. We’ll soon see if herd immunity is a thing or not.

This is silly. He's the man responsible for our poor testing capacity. Of course people are entitled to an opinion over whether he should get tested when we don't have the capacity to test nurses.
Who's first in line? JRM?
stupid feckwitts may see the need to question it, yes.
Wonder how he's got that info. I thought data protection/phone companies holding info secure would prevent that?
At first glance, I saw all the hotspots and thought "why have all those Spring Breakers come to Europe?" but I'm guessing hotspots are ALL shown here (white)?
Reminds me I'm fortunate to live rurally.
If it was everywhere... why are so many of the tests coming back negative when the UK is testing/
Southern Europe countries are taking a higher toll due to a very old population. Long are the times where people from Spain and Italy had families with several kids.
Raab takes over if Boris can't do the job, in the short term, I believe.
So? Why can't he self isolate from having symptoms and pass the duty on for the isolation period? We are already taking the piss on our testing whilst our underfunded NHS doctors nurses and pharmacists are around covid patience 18 hours a day, and this warrants a test more? He could have self isolated if he had symptoms - why can't he do that? Why does he need a test? His symptoms were mild, he's not in a dangerous age category, he doesnt appear to have underlying health problems.
Raab
The man who didn't realise dover was an important part of our food supply lines, and thought Lima was in Singapore.
Saw them last summer. Something to look forward to (or rather would have been).
Apparently he has pneumonia as well but according to reports it is not a life-threatening situation.
Baffling. For better or worse he is in charge of the country, of course hes going to get bloody tested quickly
That's what he is doing. You cannot seriously argue he shouldn't have been tested.
Spain death count rises 769 in one day to 4,858
Call me a conspiracy theorist but part of me thinks that Boris is stupid enough to like about testing positive about corona virus, self isolate as a result in the hope that because he's doing it the entire nation will see it as a inspiration to follow.
Probably just has it though, but I need something to keep me amused in this dark times

don't you think it's important to test the Prime Minister?
aside from the fact he's an important politician, he must surely meet loads of people on a daily basis who'd want to know if he tested positive
oh dear.
Thanks guys. While not ideal that's better than JRM, although I was kinda looking forward to the government recommendations of bloodletting, leaches and the like.
The data is still anonymized, you just know there's a cellphone user there, not who they are and what their mobile number is. Cell companies routinely sell that data, same as credit card companies selling your purchase history, internet companies, apps, social networks etc selling your logging habits etc.
I work closely with a man who went to the Stereophonics concert, his wife works in a supermarket and his daughter works in a school. He’s like a walking Covid19 carrier but neither of us has shown any signs of being unwell. I’m classed as a key worker so still going into work.
Meanwhile, just heard 2 people have died that I know local
, my old teacher and an older taxi driver

yes - though apparently there is "lobbying" for gove to take over ... (presumably because is a horrible power obsessed opportunistic tosser)

Relax, I'm asking from a logistical standpoint because I thought he was doing a lot of his work remotely since a few days ago. No need to get sassy @Grinner, save your name calling for somewhere else.
I'm genuinely asking, I get it now if he's still meeting lots of people in/out from his office and if he tested privately. It's a sore topic for me as my wife will likely go to Excel and my mum still works every day for NHS and neither have testing, just makes my blood boil when people get tests from mild symptoms no matter what role they play ahead of doctors/nurses who are at far higher risk and their lives are just as important as any other.
Ok, so this is the no tin foil hat thread.. so where's the tin foil hat thread?
Hopefully because they’ve already had the virus and it’s left their system. Big hope I know
I have absolutely no problem with Boris getting his test, or him recieving 80% of his salary up to £2500 per month. Get well soon.
It would have stopped Charlie Austin from preaching at us.

Presumably 'reported' by Sarah Vine.
Because he is running the feckkng country ffs. Whether we agree with what he’s doing or like him or whatever
Spain
64059 cases (+7871)
4858 dead (+769)

Because, he holds the most important post in the country, I really shouldn’t have to explain it to you.
The issue isn't with importance of testing the prime minister.
It's to do with the hundreds of NHS/Emergency workers who are being refused tests despite being exposed to the virus on a daily basis.
He can do his job remotely, those on the front lines can't. But I'm sure clapping for them made up for it.

For the record I only reported this as I feel mods like yourself should set a better example
Imagine questioning if we should test the leader of our country 
I think the bloke is a buffoon, but its just bizarre logic to think he's not an important person to test.
