JFK-1 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The Darwin awards are going to be flying thick and fast this year. Conspiracy theorist died of coronavirus after trying to catch it at Covid party to prove it was a hoax Quote A young conspiracy theorist has died of coronavirus after trying to catch the disease at a ‘Covid party’ to prove it was a hoax. The unidentified victim, who was in their 30s and from San Antonio in Texas, spoke of their regret to a nurse after testing positive for Covid-19 and being rushed to hospital, where they later died. Dr Jane Appleby, from Methodist Healthcare said: ‘Just before the patient died, they looked at their nurse and said “I think I made a mistake, I thought this was a hoax, but it’s not.”‘ Dr Appleby also spoke of her horror at hearing how the Covid-19 victim had attended a party with someone who tested positive for the disease in a bid to disprove experts’ warnings about the danger coronavirus poses. She told News4SA: ‘This is a party held by somebody diagnosed by the Covid virus and the thought is to see if the virus is real and to see if anyone gets infected. ‘It doesn’t discriminate and none of us are invincible. I don’t want to be an alarmist and we’re just trying to share some real-world examples to help our community realize that this virus is very serious and can spread easily.’ Texas has seen a massive surge in coronavirus cases since mid-June, and has now recorded more than 250,000 diagnoses, and over 3,100 deaths. Governor Greg Abbott has ordered his citizens to wear a mask in public, after being criticized for reopening the Lone Star state too early. https://metro.co.uk/2020/07/11/young-man-died-coronavirus-trying-catch-covid-party-prove-was-hoax-12976195/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Bishop Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 59 minutes ago, Ray Gin said: In that graph I'm seeing a rapid decline that levels off after VE day, raplidly declines again 2 weeks later, slightly rises after the BLM protests, drops again and then has maintained at much the same level for the past week or so. It is also worth noting that those taking part in VE Day celebrations and BLM potests were relatively low compared to the general population. Yeah agree, but we were warned these would cause 2nd spikes, waves and Tsunami`s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 1 hour ago, Lord BJ said: My boy returns to football tonight. Quite a lot of new rules for them to actually play/train etc. No one, except goalkeepers, are allowed to touch football with hands, lots of procedures on how they actually get on the park, coaches will not provide any first aid in event of accident so parent have to stay for full extent of training in case anything happens to your child. Lots of other procedural things to be done. He’s in a age group that doesn’t need to social distance so **** knows what must be like for older groups. However, good for the little dude to get back playing a game he loves with his mates. He’ll be happy and knackered tonight. Brilliant !

The great thing about this highly infectious respiratory virus is that it doesn't spread by celebrations, protests, riots, pubs or restaurants. Good thing my 3 kids all missed a term of school though, because you know - just in case. Wait - so this graph is based on calls to 111 number? That's it - whether someone called 111 or not?

JyTees Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 16 hours ago, ri Alban said: Really!!! Put it this way, there are more people out and about whilst we come out of lockdown. So wearing a face mask to stop further spread, isn't to much to ask, is it? . Well... it is if your a fecking twit. As for the seat belt, it's the policing of the mask that is comparable to the wearing of a seat belt. A cop doesn't stand at your vehicle before anyone set off, but if they are so stupid and don't give a feck, that the Polis catch them not wearing their's after they've had a few pints driving up the road, which is their god giving right to do, isn't it. Well... Tough shit. Let's hope they haven't left the dead prostitute in the boot. I'll be watching the posting when King Boris' England starts wearing them. Pardon?

AlimOzturk Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Genuine question here which I hope folk can answer..: Why is it necessary to wear a mask on public transport and shops yet pubs/restaurants and gyms (once open) aren’t mandatory? Are the first two somehow bigger vectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Accept what? It sounds like you’re saying lockdown was the wrong thing to do. We had no choice because the health service was overwhelmed and more would’ve died on trollies in the corridors or in the back of ambulances queuing outside! It isn’t just the deaths from CV19 but the disruption to hospital services because the thing is so contagious. Even if it is weakening now it doesn’t change how ****ed things were earlier this year.

I think if you look at Sweden you will see lockdown was wrong. Shielding of the elderly and those at risk should have been where the lockdown ended. Rest of us should have been allowed to get on with life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
