Corona Virus Treatment

Thank you Jack. I do read the Source material on the countries I follow but have never seen where it stated how long it took for those unfortunate who have died so just questioning.

 

The beeb are reporting that the virus is spreading again in the North West and South West - looks like easing lock down hasn't worked in these regions.

Or more likely, people are ignoring the eased lockdown rules.

We need a vaccine - that's the only was out as far as I can see - AstraZeneka have already started to mass produce the Cambridge vaccine - fingers crossed the trials are shown to be successful.

 

It's been breaking down for a long time cv has just made it worse

 

When I see reports in the media of tightly packed crowds at mass demos, I wonder if the participants think about the potential damage to people's health and livelyhoods they could be causing.

I also wonder why they aren't protesting about this police brutality to black people.

 

I strongly disagree. We'll be just fine. Very likely not back to normal as we used to know it, but we will still have a country where babies are born, not starving to death, not dying to mundane diseases such as diarrhoea due to polluted water or smallpox. The basics will carry on, the kids will grow and study, and build their own new world.

This is not the time to lose heart, or give up. We'll be ok.

When I feel very down I try to find something to make me laugh. Today we made a "zero food waste" quiche, using leftover pizza dough from last week that had, in an optimistic way of putting it, turned into a sourdough. Topped with just slightly out of date ricotta and withered red peppers the idea was perfect. The taste was horrendous. After the first slice my Teenager suggested that we might want to give the garden birds more varied diet. A lot of giggles both in making and eating... and the laughing makes me feel so much better.

Bring on next week, we are ok, and ready for it. Not overly happy, but we'll be just fine.

 

There are many other ways to make your feelings known - have a go at your local MP - force a petition to raise the issue for discussion/recognition in Parliament - donate to or join those organisations which fight against racism.

In the middle of a global pandemic - massive crowds - not the way to do it.

 

I ( like many others) have been in lockdown for almost three months, looking at the massive crowds it makes me wonder if I will be in lockdown for a further three months.

What the US Cop done was murder but spreading this deadly virus is not the way to go.

The UK Government should have banned these protests, I don't care about the Snowflakes who say freedom to protest, these are very worrying times and the UK Government should take special measures to stop all protests.

Sorry for the rant folks.

 

Professional protesters with those that follow, ........like sheep.
Sorry didn't mean to demean sheep.

Well its a day out, mostly leftist anti this anti that wierdos.
I was going to say long haired wierdos, but my hair is getting a bit long now.
Another couple of weeks and I wont need a face mask.

 

Will someone please explain to me why Sweden went down the herd immunity route? No lockdown - business as usual.

Why is leaving the virus free to infect the population a 'good' or even viable idea. Surely, not getting infected and social distancing etc. is the way forward?

In terms of the Covid-19 - IMHO time is our friend - by this I mean we keep infection rates low over a long period of time in the hope that a vaccine or treatment can be developed and we don't flood our NHS with cases.

As far as I can see - the Swedish model doesn't give you that time - it takes the maximum hit in a short a time as possible.

Sweden - not somewhere I'd like to live - as the economy appears to have taken precedence over people.

Ecomonies can be re-built.
