Corona Virus Treatment

Is anyone else fed up with the daily briefing on BBC1 in the afternoons.

The journalists just keep asking the same stupid questions, like when is it going to end, how much is it going to cost, and the biggest one, PPE, for god sake, cant they see the whole world is buying the stuff up, and we dont usually make any here due to the fact all our manufacturing has moved to Europe or the Far East.
And those countries are rightly or wrongly sticking to it and limiting exports.

So much for the EU, as soon as a big problem flares up, the borders come back.

 

Not only am I fed of the briefing I'm fed up of the BBC spending another half hour or so after telling us what we've just heard I'm assuming they think we're all morons

 

A friend of mine was addmitted to QE Hosp Woolwich with Covid-19. Although he had a rough time of it, thankfully I believe he's now out and home. Sadly he was unaware that his father-in-law was also in the same hospital with Covid-19. Poor chap never made it.

 

When did lock down start?

Can we retrain all front line NHS Staff to neonatal in Nine Months?

 

Well that's all right then, death is on the to-do list and being pregnant again is not.

 

There is no escaping it. This pandemic has really affected us all. Like man's enemy death itself, it is no respecter of persons. I doubt very much if there is a single person who hasn't been touched in some way by it.

Probably many of us, if honest have to say that we have found fault in the way world governments have attempted to deal with it. Then perhaps closer to home, we have witnessed the panic of many, especially when it comes to keeping the family fed. I have been confined to home, by my daughter due to my health. I still haven't been able to get a home delivery slot. Not to worry. There are many worse off than me.

This points me towards just an opinion of mine. Yes, it's always easy to point the finger and aportion blame, after the event. However as a country, we had a fair amount of warning, sadly at the expense of other nations. Yet the NHS hits the headlines again. During politcal wranglings about the cost of the NHS. Nurses have extra responsibilities thrust upon them etc. Watching PMQ on the box. Politicians have been going on for ages about boosting the NHS. Worldly responces have gone unnoticed regarding this pandemic.

Sorry folks, but. As always in the corridors of power. There is still far too much cackling and not enough action. I have this echoing in my head. Never has so much been owed to so few, by so many. YES Winstons words of ww2. Now he we are again in 2020. Those words can be repeated. Question for the government etc. Isn't it time you all cut the talk and come up with some positivness. These frontline staff need protection. NOW.

 

Following on. Telly news etc. Nurseries are asking for government help. Due to shutdown. We are going to lose all our stock. The commercial world of horticulture is now, so well tuned and automated. Most of todays commercial horticultural nurseries are so automated. Staff could take a year off. The microbiological enviroment could easily manage without the human infuence. So be it. Plants of all sorts may very well be found to have survived and most likely have grown beyond expectations. This in my book as a ------------- in no way suggests a total wipe out loss of stock.

 

Still have to pay the finance on all that kit whether it is in use, and making money, or not ... Companies going bust put burden on taxpayer, companies having to earn their way out of financial stress take years before they are profitable and can make a contribution to the economy (and pay tax ...), and expand / provide more employment.

You, the tax payer, will be paying them (well, more likely your grandchildren given how much the Government will have to borrow and the staggering amount of interest that will also have to be paid back)

Much better to let people shop IMHO. Anything DIY will keep folk busy at home and stop them going out, and if Supermarkets can control flow of shoppers and keep them at a reasonable distance I would have thought even easier for garden centres ... mine doesn't have the rush of people that supermarkets do.

 

Just been to Morrisons, they are selling plants, they have a small garden centre type part on the side of the store which they only use spring and summer, you dont have to queue to use it.
If they can open up and sell plants I really cant see why garden centres or nurseries cant.

Its stupid, and really points out how ridiculous the whole situation is.
