Boris Johnson tests positive for Coronavirus - there's going to be a vacuum of leadership now (insert own gag here) I'd forgotten about this, on 3 March 2020.... I’m shaking hands continuously. I was at a hospital the other night where I think there were actually a few coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody, you’ll be pleased to know. I continue to shake hands. |

Too much speculation out there, even the supposed brains are sending out different messages. As soon as a suit says 'maybe' or 'could', I switch off.
A real alternative,watch David Icke.
90% bollocks but he does explain the difference between coronavirus and covid19 in understandable terms.

Does Icke still suggest the royal family are lizards?

All Icke's vids on Covid 19 seem to be about 45 mins long. There's no way I'm investing that amount of time in his musings about the virus

Don't blame you, it's nutty stuff. But basically Coronavirus has hundreds of strains, loads you'd never notice, some manifesting as colds and flu. Covid19 is a coronavirus but you aren't tested for that, just coronavirus as a block.
Other interesting bit (with evidence) was a German hospital that claimed it was overrun with corona/covid patients. Undercover journalist visits and finds there's not one. A manipulation of figures to enforce lockdown in the area, allegedly.
Lizards didn't get a mention.

So does immunity to one strain of coronavirus mean you're immune to all strains I wonder? It might explain why, in Iceland, where they've tested quite a lot of the population around half have no symptoms despite testing positive |

Yeah, he's in intensive care now, which means they're probably planning to intubate him.
God, I hope he pulls through.

Who knows? He must have been under enormous stress and he strikes me he's one of those blokes that doesn't make particularly healthy choices
My missus reckons he's 5 foot 9 and 17 stone which seems unlikely - that would make him overweight, possibly obese
Health professionals are saying the majority of the ICU cases (those not already ill or with other underlying issues) are diabetics and overweight people

I was interested to read the recent ICNARC report on patients with Covid 19 admitted to intensive care. Some of the key conclusions are below. Only based on 2,249 patients so not a huge sample size
Who it is that ends up in intensive care with Covid 19?Often people with underlying health conditions - heart, diabetes etc Older people more at risk however the average age of admission to critical care is 60 73% are men, mostly in older and middle age There are more men in critical care in their 50s than in their 70s More than 73% are overweight or obese SOURCE: Intensive Care National Audit & Research Centre (ICNARC) report based on 2,249 patients |

I saw this sign on the counter of a mobile-phone kiosk in my local shopping centre yesterday. You can't see it that clear from the photo, but what it says is 'Free Masks when you spend at least $79.00 on two or more items. While stocks last'. You'd have to be desperate for a mask
