No one has ever put it better than the great Carl Sagan and I doubt anybody ever will:A tiny speck of dust, orbiting a very average star, in one of hundreds of billions of galaxies across an utterly incomprehensibly vast Universe.
And this right now is all we've got. If we **** it up, we're out of the game.
Permanently.
People like loads of our neighbours will be keeping this lockdown going a lot longer for those of us sticking to it.
Loads of visitors all around, people out visiting...overheard" I'm not bothering, I'm carrying on as normal and going where I want. It's all a load of b0llocks..it's only flu , and that's around all the time without killing us") So f' in annoying
There is a possibility that it was available in Europe in December.I do have a concern about this Coronavid 19. Some friends came over from north Italy and they both had this strange dry, persistent cough, he was slightly unwell with it. We all acquired similar coughs which lasted some time.
True, but... Mrs Noah's daughter's in laws have lived in north Italy for many years but were in the process of moving to Canada. They arrived here the week before Christmas, with the coughs, we saw them a number of times over the Christmas period and they left mid January. Everyone seemed to acquire the cough without any other real symptoms (and all three members of this household come in the vulnerable/highly vulnerable categories). So too early and lasted too long to be Coronavid, but having had that how would we know the real thing if we caught it if that wasn't it?
The economy always has to be a consideration. You can't go throwing all your weight behind saving us all from coronavirus only to see the economy (and the NHS that relies on it) fail for the next 10 years. More people may die early during those 10 years than would die in the UK during the pandemic.I fear Borris will be again making decisions based on politics and economics instead of based of the safety of the general public.
A relative with fibrosis died in January, suddenly and unexpectedly given the progression of the condition. He had contact with persons recently returned from Hong Kong with a flu like illness, some members of my family are convinced that it was Covid 19, he was never tested and we will never know for sure.
Is anyone else concerned about what is coming this evening?
Somehow we’ve done everything so wrong that as a nation we have failed to protect our own, the numbers are frightening and devastating.
I have never before felt so helpless in terms of keeping my children protected.
My mate suffered bad symptoms at home with Covid-19 for 11 days , before then being rushed off by ambulance a couple of weeks ago ,for a 5 day hospital stay with breathing difficulties , low sats and temperature of 40.2 . She was still ill when she returned home to recuperate, and was told could take up to 6 weeks or more to make full recovery.So too early and lasted too long to be Coronavid
