Coronavirus

[Ornchurch]

East ham yesterday was like a normal Saturday, people everywhere. Idiots.

Don’t you live in the Cotswolds with a beautiful house and a beautiful girl?

Nope, I live in Kent in a beautiful house with a very happy family.

I was sent a video yesterday of east ham. Absolute sh*t hole but there you are.

When I see these videos I always wonder what the people filming and distributing them are doing out themselves.

The County of Kent was one of my sales areas that I covered for around 10 years.

I can assure you that it has more than its fair share of 'sh*t holes' dear chap!

I’m sure it does and I never said it didn’t. Trust me I’d move back to Essex tomorrow if it wasn’t for the schooling issue, so I’m here till then and I’ll be back to Epping or some such place when I do.

True, it amazes me that we are faced with a killer virus which shows no mercy to anyone and people want to chance their arms in parks etc. They need to stop being selfish, listen to the government advice and hope that by self isolating as much as possible the wider population have a chance of this passing them by unscathed.

[Thor]

Both the rate of infection has fallen although that could be because we are not testing enough right now, but the death rate has also fallen.

Hopefully the fact that both are lower than yesterday indicates that self isolation is working and we are moving in the right direction. At least I hope and pray that it is the case.

But isnt it likely that we’ll all get it at some point? So it’s just a matter of timing? Have you got any doctor friends who could confirm?

Nursist !!

[Currywurst and Chips]

209 deaths today, down from 260 the day before.

[Thor]

Anthony Yardes dad is one of them, the boxer announced this news today and said his dad was fit and healthy and had no underlying health issues.

Virus? Don't you mean weapon? Or have they got to you too?

[Thor]

You still think china is telling the truth? The government is now openly saying they have a day of reckoning coming to them. For a flu like virus that they didn't create? Ok......

The number of deaths being seen in europe and china is way low down on that list and again the government is saying that the numbers are lies and under cooked by 40 to 50 times.

Still think china is telling the truth?

Of course there not.

Of course there not. They were lying through their teeth at the very beginning by concealing the true scale of the problem from the world

[Mistadobalina]

I thought the Canadians created it and the Chinese stole it Thor?

Think talk of a reckoning is more for the government to sound tough and shifting blame away from itself as the numbers get increasingly grim. The Chinese government has been a terrible influence for yonks, I don't understand why now is the moment that the Tories start talking tough on them after having handed the design of the world's largest nuclear power station, essential 5g infrastructure and any number of other cop outs over the last decade.

Hopefully those decisions can be reversed.

I’m sure it does and I never said it didn’t.

You may not have said it directly; but your comparison between East Ham and Kent quite obviously inferred it.

Why do people have to try and backtrack/justify themselves these days; instead of simply admitting that what they were just wrong? It's a really said trait; often saying more about the character and mindset of a person, than their words ever can.

[Thor]

Well if you take it out of context to the whole conversation I’m sure you could confer whatever it is you want to confer.

You must try harder next time.

[NuneatonO's]

From Private Eye:

32 - Hospital beds per 10,000 inhabitants in Italy, which is struggling to cope.

25 - Hospital beds per 10,000 inhabitants in the UK.

I don't need to try harder.

It was quite clear to anyone that you were referring to East Ham as a 'sh*t hole'; particularly in comparison to Kent.

Stop wriggling......that's what worms do.

Cummings is good at that.

Lampooning.......really?

OK, how about the following; showing that the UK is 24th out of 31 EEA Countries for ICU beds (per 100,000 people):

Is that 'lampooning' as well?

[Thor]

German state minister kills himself over coronavirus. He was worried about being able to help and support the population through this crisis and he felt overwhelmed by it and committed suicide apparently.

[NuneatonO's]

Two Doctors die; whilst other NHS staff (that many tory hypocrites 'clapped' last week) STILL don't even have basic PPE:

May Doctors Amged El-Hawrani and Adil El Tayar both Rest In Peace. xx

Whilst Johnson & Co. self-isolate in the comfort of their homes, our NHS staff are still awaiting testing and are actually risking their lives daily whilst trying to save others. My Wife (a Nurse) and Brother in Law (an Ambulance Paramedic) amongst them.

10 years of this useless, incompetent Conservative Govt. and we can't even protect our front-line medical professionals. What a truly disgusting, unforgiveable legacy they will leave.

Yet people still support and defend them.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Now is not the tine for politics and point scoring, we need to unite. Apparently.

Don't show it to me, send it to Ian Hislop. He has made a very good living out of lampooning the misery of others.
