You don't see doctors and dentists collapsing from lack of oxygen, do you?

| | Re: Coronavirus | Quote: | |  | | | So now people will start getting respiratory infections. By wearing masks one breaths back in a part of what one breathed out-CO2. Can't be good in the long term | | | | | Sounds better to me than using COVID-19-damaged lungs operating at 40% capacity to attempt to extract enough oxygen from the air to survive.
But you go right ahead and ignore medical advice. It's your right. I'm glad I'm not one of your patients, though.

| | Re: Coronavirus
Sounds all a bit theoretical. Who would tell an employer that you needed to quarantine because you have been hanging out at a "balkan club"? And then, as long as nightclubs are open legally because apparently their "Schutzkonzept" works, difficult to see how one use this as an argument to fire someone. Then again, you can be fired anyhow for anything (and then it is just a question whether this was "ungerechtfertigt" in which case you can some salary still, but your job will still be gone).

Meanwhile, forty-three Florida hospital intensive care units (ICUs) across 21 counties have reached capacity as coronavirus cases in the Sunshine State surge, according to new data from the Agency for Health Administration.
I am sure they have a plan B. |

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | Another way of looking at the growth of COVID-19 cases, copyright NYTimes, see graph.
US government failing badly in its duty to protect US citizens. Attachment 139783 | | | | | It isn't the US government failing, it's the stupidity of your average US citizen. They are arguing with the government about wearing masks even, let alone shutting down shops and services. It Darwin @ macro scale. Asian communities have been raised from birth to work with each other, US kids are taught to be free thinkers.
Free thinking in covid-19 apocalypse doesn't work; around 10% of the US population will be die or be seriously affected by this unless a vaccine comes to the rescue, is that going to happen? I don't know...
China whom America and Europe has pumped billions into their economy over the past twenty years will be the new super power in the next 5 years at this rate, the US will like the UK only less cause their talk talk but don't walk the walk. Then we'll all have to adjust to the new new, where you cannot voice an opinion like this without worrying being about the secret police arrested and thrown into jail for subversion.
Or will they, will the US wake up to the stupid behaviour of their mega corporations and cut the money river off to to China. Does China have enough money to be become self sustaining without the US. Trump although an idiot in many ways has seen the light and is pushing to try to reduce the losses.
We all need to work together, but Europe and the US needs to understand that THAT isn't China's plan. They have the copied the US template and sharpened it in the process. They are VERY good businessmen. They'll work together until it no longer suites them doing so, then they'll cut us free and walk all over us.

2. GP's were available throughout. Fear of covid was the factor.
3. My best mate's dad in the UK has been having his fortnightly chemo throughout lockdown. He's shielded because he's been having chemo for 4yrs and needs it for the rest of his life which could be 10+yrs, but that hasn't prevented his chemo.

Media hype and the government messaging has meant that people, especially the vulnerable, were scared to seek help when they needed it. Such a frenzy has been whipped up in the UK that even now people are scared to return to work or send their kids back to school  (but going to the pub and beach is safe  )

| | Re: Coronavirus | Quote: |  | | | Can you link us to those indications? | | | | | Many were discharged from hospitals into care homes without coronavirus tests. This was done to make space for an influx of patients that never materialised. At the same time patients with the virus were sent to care homes where it was spread to those most at risk. There’s enough evidence to see that this happened, the only open question is how many unnecessary deaths and infections this disastrous strategy caused. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/h...-a9544671.html | The following 2 users would like to thank TonyClifton for this useful post: | |
