Brexit, for once some facts.

Funny you should mention furlough payments Barry, I'm sure there's a lot of dodgy doings going on regarding all this cash flying around. My Polish neighbour a van driver has been of work for about 10 weeks and I see he's just bought a new car ! Another neighbour who drives a fork lift has just returned to work after a long absence, I asked him if the time he had off had hit him hard...he gave a wry smile and said ' I've done alright ' he looked a bit sheepish to me. I'll bet there's been all sorts going on with people claiming money for lost work while moonlighting at the same time. Maybe I have a devious mind but I can think of many ways to pull a stroke and the Government would know no different..... pity I'm retired

There has and from both sides of the employment system. Some builders / tradesmen have been claiming whilst working and I know of one employer who furloughed staff and then bullied them into continuing to work for him. Then there are the people who were furloughed so they could social distance to slow the transmission rate, but were on beaches and BBQ ing in groups together.

I don’t care, they may have made a few quid for now, but when this bites and the financial implications hit home, there will be some bargain houses on the market for me to buy and rent back to them

Yes, Hastings and Exmouth have already had similar incidents.

Next we'll have OG in Hull telling us about the same on the Yorkshire Riviera.

Nowt happening here.. people cant be bothered

It has been suggested many times that Johnson should not be PM - now for some evidence that suggests why that might actually be true. The effects of illness on people holding important roles, and I extend this to many diseases and many jobs, is difficult. Holders will probably try to deny any issues. If they even appreciate they are not performing as well as they think they should, they are likely to assume it to be temporary and something they can deal with. If caught out, they would pretend that they are now over the issue.

Getting rid of people who refuse to accept the evidence and go quietly gets more and more difficult as you go up the tree - looking at both sides of the Atlantic.

Covid-19 may cause brain complications in some, say doctors

Stroke and psychosis found in small study of patients highlight need for research
Brain complications, including stroke and psychosis, have been linked to Covid-19 in a study that raises concerns about the potentially extensive impact of the disease in some patients.

The study is small and based on doctors’ observations, so cannot provide a clear overall picture about the rate of such complications. However, medical experts say the findings highlight the need to investigate the possible effects of Covid-19 in the brain and studies to explore potential treatments.

“There have been growing reports of an association between Covid-19 infection and possible neurological or psychiatric complications, but until now these have typically been limited to studies of 10 patients or fewer,” said Benedict Michael, the lead author of the study, from the University of Liverpool. “Ours is the first nationwide study of neurological complications associated with Covid-19, but it is important to note that it is focused on cases that are severe enough to require hospitalisation.”

Prepare for a Coronavirus death spike in Liverpool. There was a mass gathering at the football stadium last night. The twats are professional victims though, so I’m sure they’ll cope by blaming the police, deprivation or some other convenient body for their own stupidity.

Fantastic for those in England who don't have cars.

Hancock introduces 'walk-through' test centres following fierce criticism

People without cars can book appointments at six new Covid-19 testing sites in England

Sometime, they might let us know how those without cars can safely make their way to these sites? I somehow don't think "walk" will be an answer for any but a handful.

I’ve just seen more footage from Brixton, taken last night. These animals don’t know civilisation, they must have been raised in the wild. They should send the army to support the police’s efforts to tame theses savages. They belong in a cage.

To be practical, every person will need a testing station with 2 miles of them. A 4 mile walk (there and back) might even be pushing it if you are feeling shite with Coronavirus. You can’t really catch a bus or taxi if you think you’ve got it. So, how many testing stations do we need to cover that?

He’s been talking before he’s been thinking again hasn’t he

Does he ever do otherwise? He too probably has brain issues from covid-19.

If I wanted to be charitable, I'd allow the possibility of providing some sort of sanitised taxi service. But am quite sure it won't happen.

It would probably be easier to devise a mobile testing service than any way of transporting people who think they are infected. You really wouldn't need much more than a van or car, some plastic sheeting, and anti-viral sprays.

You could even imagine it being contracted out to black cabs, Uber, or whatever is available.

It would be great being the next passenger in a taxi straight after they’ve done a lurgy run. No thanks.

I think the best they can hope for is at Doctor’s surgeries, possibly in the car park. Won’t be very nice in the winter though. People can drag themselves there for a sick note, so they’ll probably crawl there for a CV test.

I did mean that the vehicles would be properly sanitised between passengers!

It is difficult to understand why a new network of testing locations is required.

Coronavirus death spike

Reads like a mediaeval weapon.

Would you really trust a twat in a shell suit to properly sanitise their Insignia before you climbed in ? My niece was telling me they struggle to sanitise hospital bays after COVID patients have been in. They are even using high powered UV emitters to try and kill it off. Taxi man giving the back seat a once over with a baby wipe isn’t going to work. I won’t be getting in a taxi for the foreseeable future.

It‘s fine, don’t worry, the NHS has loads of iron lungs spare at the moment.

Ferric good news.

You need the Jair Bolsonaro protection, sheer strength of will to defeat any virus.

It has to be admitted that Bolsonaro and Trump have succeeded so far with this approach, unlike our weak yellow bellied PM who caught Covid-19 almost immediately.

Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro said on Thursday that he might have contracted the novel coronavirus previously and he may do another test for the disease, having already tested negative for the virus multiple times weeks earlier.

He's like Trump, he says everything and anything, but nothing he says can be relied on.

I’ve just been talking to a friend who lives in Brighton. Most of the public toilets are still closed there, so the visitors over the past few days have been taking a dump in plastic bags and leaving it on the beach along with beer bottles, tin cans and food packaging. Similar things have been happening on Devon beaches too.

Many of these people are being paid, at tax payers expense, to stay at home because their workplace isn’t considered safe. I supported this, but from what I’m seeing and hearing about, they are not looking after themselves, they are shiteing into bags on crowded Dorset & Devon beaches instead. It’s time to get these fuckers back at work with a 10% tax rise to pay the furlough back.

I think this is all being done, the wrong way around. Testing kits should be posted to people at home and people return their samples in sealed containers to centralised locations. This method works very well on bowel screening for cancers ,so its use with a nasal or throat swab is even easier. Bill Gates organisation did experiments showing that the home user was about as equally effective in getting swab samples as a trained person. In fact, a person will have an easier time inserting the swab under their own control.

I think you are wrong. The toilets should be open, they should be constantly disinfected ,they should all be open. The reason they are not, is a bizzare assumption by local authorities that closing them will reduce the footfall, but people do not think 5 hours ahead. Hence the disgusting behaviour.
The first action of the Railway company on which my daughter travels each day was to close the toilets at railway stations and on trains last March. Now as a bono fide essential worker, Biologist QC in a pharma plant,not a journalist on their jollies, her attendance remains important.
So the short sighted attitude of the local authorities will create yet another health crisis with gastrointestinal disorders, polluted water and beaches ..and a rise in CV19.
