They think this might cause a problem for the virus to them attach it self to the cell. Neither of us were sure how feasible that was or whether it was believable but thought I'd share it.

Cade Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 It's far, FAR too late for a national unity government. It's all about sharing the blame and all other parties should decline to form a unity government but should agree to sit on cabinet, medical and COBRA meetings.

milky_26 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 2 hours ago, BlackJAC? said: Watford Hospital have sent out a critical alert. Not accepting any emergencies. They're supposedly running out of oxygen. A complete and utter farce if true. This virus hasn't even began to hit the UK yet, yet here we are. Hospitals already struggling and on their knees because they lack the basics to fight this virus. This is what a decade or more cuts do to a HC system. they have clarified it as a problem with their equipment, from bbc The Trust said the decision was taken as a "result of a technical issue with our hospital's oxygen equipment".

As a staunch republican and nationalist I think his leadership and presentation during this has been outstanding. Okay some of the decisions and dilly dallying behind him havent been good but can you imagine Thatcher telling us we have to stay at home for 12 weeks or longer. We’d be marching en masse to london with pitchforks by now He will probably Need to to toughen the stance on lockdown next week but he’s come across really well overall during this Pity he couldn't follow his own advice though.

Sharpie Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I am on medication for post stroke treatment. We are being warned because so little of our medications are manufactured in Canada we may suffer extreme shortages. It seems we are not the only country that obtains their drugs from overseas suppliers, I wonder if a resurgence of home manufactured medications may be one of the many changes that this tragic episode is requiring. Trump at 10'pm last night fired the Inspector General who had acted upon the Whistlebowers information that led to Impeachment. Of course the media are suggesting it Is because there are numerous potential whistleblowers ho will be telling about Trumps actions which were not good regarding the virus. He is on today and made a statement that it is unbelievable that people are being paid to stay at home. It is truly unbelievable that this man can survive his reaction to this pandemic.

Trump supporters are by and large disaffected morons with absolutely no knowledge of the world and no capacity for critical thought. The US is full of them. Someone i know is marrying a girl from Nebraska and she is about the stupidest human being i currently know. She's about 30 years of age but I'd guess her mental age is about 8 or 9 maybe.
