It's the first step. That's all we can hope for at the moment small steps.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
It’s very speculative. And evidently the BCG vaccine is doing feck all to help in the UK.
Oh right, thanks for the info guys!
That looks bloody awful
Hmm, I think I'd prefer that to needles. Maybe just me 
Yeah that's true. Spain stopped administering the vaccine in 1981 so presumably a large proportion of the population would still be vaccinated.
I'd definitely prefer a typical injectionHmm, I think I'd prefer that to needles. Maybe just me
But he was asked this question from the reporter. The health minister never brought up footballers, a journalist asked if he agrees its wrong and he just replied with everyone including premier league players should do their bit.
Just you.Hmm, I think I'd prefer that to needles. Maybe just me
Well not just you but I would rather have a thumb prick test.
I'd honestly prefer that thing to be rammed up my arse than my nostril. Looks pretty terrible to me.Hmm, I think I'd prefer that to needles. Maybe just me
I'd prefer up my nose. I've had a gastro exam without any anesthetic or numbing and it wasn't so bad, so I can't imagine this would be either. Injection with needles on the other hand can hurt afterwards..
If I knew I was going to have an injection I'd just be feeling pretty meh about it, but if I knew I was going to have that shoved up my nose I'd spend hours dreading it.Hmm, I think I'd prefer that to needles. Maybe just me
It makes your eyes water a bit but it’s not as awful as it looks. Mildly uncomfortable for a second, and no pain or anything once it’s out.Oh Jesus is this the only kind of test available?

I thought there was a blood test...?
It's a pinprick though not a traditional injection.
More like a diabetes pinprick test.
And also because some people in the NHS appreciate the community support in a trying time. For example:
Small gestures are helpful sometimes, even when they don't address the substantive issues.
If you went to get a coronavirus test and someone injected you with something, there's a good chance you're now part of a government conspiracy to spread the coronavirus.
They would inject me with 5G
You'd be well connected after that.They would inject me with 5G
No stupid, they’ll inject you with chemtrails which can be activated from 5G towers and instantly kill you.They would inject me with 5G
You'll need 5G but get 4G because of lack of resources.They would inject me with 5G
It seems less impressive since the UK just said...use existing structures and put hospitals in them. Chinese
At first I thought this but it’s now clearly worse. Though having said that no reason to panic!
I don’t think anybody realised early on that we were fecked.

I do miss Rob Ford.
we still have his brother Doug, who is the Premier of Ontario. Normally he's close to Trump levels of idiocy but he's doing a decent job with this crisis.Feck me Jared Kushner is on the task force now. You would think he deserved a break after sorting the Middle East out.

I know death numbers are going up rapidly, but that one shocked me.
I feel like there’s about a dozen people running the whole federal government right now. I know it’s not true, but he keeps recycling the same people into different positions. I’m surprised he hasn’t given his daughter a gig designing PPE.
it includes the “catch up” of non hospitalised deaths since the beginning which accounts for 2/3 iirc.
I'm not sure anyone's saying otherwise? Just that we could have done a damn sight better than 'small gestures' and make NHS actually feel valued in their jobs.
What substantially annoys me about it is that it's happening at a time when the public are simultaneously hugely positive about the Conservatives handling of this crisis in spite of their utter failure to support the NHS. I was being facetious and I know people's hearts are in the right place with it, but it seems hollow when people's support for the NHS and those working in it than banging a pot with a stick and who will be back at the ballot box in 4 years time to vote for a party again who are literally letting doctors die because of their uselessness.

It is starting to look very worrisome. We were at 60+ deaths on Monday and we are already at 173. Almost tripled!
Not hard to imagine. Age and preexisting conditions being the main factors I'd imagine?
Not that it makes any better but there are multiple deaths in care centres for elderly. The trend in the next 10 days will be telling.
As it spreads to the rest of the country things will get worse. Some of the areas it's going to are chock full of people who would vote for Donald Trump if they could. They still don't believe this is real.
Screw that, i would rather not know.Oh Jesus is this the only kind of test available?

I assume vice-versa. Young people without pre-existing conditions get favored treatment cause they have a higher likelihood of surviving. I think this is what happened in Lombardy, there were rumors that if you're over 60 and need a ventilator, you wouldn't get one.
On the other side, it seems that if you need a ventilator, then you kind of fecked anyway. From various data, the mortality rate was over 90% in China, to 48% in the UK. https://www.physiciansweekly.com/mortality-rate-of-covid-19-patients-on-ventilators/ (limited data in all cases).
Jesus Christ, I ain't doing this, no fecking way.Oh Jesus is this the only kind of test available?

That is what I meant the old and particularly the old with pre-existing conditions will be the first to be de-prioritised.
They should have just showed this to everyone. Nobody would have left the house in March.Oh Jesus is this the only kind of test available?
