So...the Spanish PM's wife has been tested positive? Any Spaniards who can confirm?
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
This won’t get much attention but it’s a great statement, IMO, and a positive one.
Jesus!
When we come through this period of natural selection and emerge as Boris's immune Brexiteer supermen the spoils will be all ours.
Interesting but I don't know how reliable that source is - it's from a Norweigan red top tabloid with a contraversial history.
I feel it would be a lot like believing a story from the Daily Mail.
I'm not saying those facts are wrong, but I'd like to hear it from a better source.
Aren't they quoting a professor at the Oslo University Hospital?
NO CORONA
Forget toilet roll and food. Why on earth are people hoarding women's sanitary products and baby nappies. That is so selfish and despicable.
I thought this was an interesting thread.
El Pais are confirming it:

It would seem she's not conclusively sure
(Via Google translate)
"In addition, we must expect that the air in a room can carry the virus. We have to act like it can be airborne. "
Imagine Negan rolls up at your place for toilete paper rolls instead of food.
Why is it only the wives of the Prime Ministers/ Heads of State from Canada, Brazil and Spain getting it whilst the husband tests negative?
I'm assuming it's women and parents doing it, well I hope so anyway. We are due to run out of baby food this week so I'll be ready to fight any fecker that isn't a parent for that if it comes to it.
Interesting. I could swear I read a few weeks ago somewhere that we shouldn't be worried about airborne spreads. Now this professor claims we can't rule it out.
Just shows how little we still know.
In cork the biggest pub and clubs closed up a few days ago, the rest are slowly following, with the corks second biggest chain closing up after tonight, it’s pretty bad PR to still be open even Micheal Martin has tweeted on it.
Exactly. What is uknown about Covid-19 is almost as scary as what is known.
This whole thing is beginning to freak me out. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes only 4 months ago. If I get it I'm fecked.
I'm more worried about my elderly parents though. What a worrying time.

How many people who aren't parents buy baby food?
Cristiano is a hero!
CR7 hotels will become hospitals
And Cristiano will pay Doctors and Nurses.
Yeah, lot of people angry about Temple Bar tonight. In fairness loads of other Dublin pubs have closed.
Hello mate, whilst diabetics have an elevated relative risk, I think I remember reading that it's still low overall providing you're less than 60 years old and in otherwise fair health.
Don't quote me on that! I'll try to find the article. They key thing is - try not to panic, and do everything in your power not to catch this bastard disease. If somebody in your house gets it, isolate them and steer well clear!
None hopefully.
Curious coincidence and very convenient as well.
A couple of the ministers have tended positive in Spain as well - and they're both women. Hugs v handshakes at some event, maybe?
Shouldn't that be in the Socialism Vs Capitalism thread?
This Herd immunity approach doesn't sound very feasible.
Herd immunity requires 90% of the herd to have antibodies and the only way to have antibody right now is to get infected by the virus
Even with just 60%, lot of people will die before UK reach that number. Seems like EU learnt nothing from China & Korea

Do you think non parents will buy it? I bet they would, just so they could get their hands on something and say they were apart of it.
Sorry to say but it seems as if a lot of people aren't panic buying, they're just hoarding because they're getting a thrill out of this drama.
I've never tried it, well... not at an age old enough to remember... but can't imagine it's that enjoyable.
It’s also not clear at this point if the virus stays but is just inactive or if previously positive people can just randomly catch it again.
Stick to adult food, it’s way cheaper.
That’s my worry. The post a few pages back about the woman in tears who couldn’t get maternity pads really hit home. I really feel for mother’s of young and those expecting at the moment. My wife is shitting herself over all this.
I think this is sensible advice.
We're in this together. We're going to have to fight this together. We need more like this.
Given the UK's plan is to reach "herd immunity" what exactly are they doing differently to other countries to facilitate this?
It feels more like a prediction/hope about how it'll play out.
If "the plan" is to somehow manage the numbers by turning certain taps on and off then we need to be testing people like mofo's for it to work right? But if that isn't what we're doing then what are we doing?

From what it seems? Letting it run its course.
As bad as Dagbladet is, no Norwegian newspaper is like the Daily Mail. There are standards, self-imposed and otherwise. And in this case their source is an expert, though that doesn't mean the expert is correct.
