Apparently he’s coming out of ITU today, announcement later.
Great news if source correct (Simoney Kyriakou, Twitter) since deleted tweet but remains adamant it’s true 🤷‍♂️)

I guess file that under ‘utter bollox’ - or she was trusted with info and blabbed it out before time.


Sorry!

Fascinating report on the foreign pages of today's Times about how China rather than taking a low profile after its behaviour is aggressively building up its military in the South China Sea. The Pentagon wants an extra $16bn to counter it.


My view has always been that China represents a malign threat to our way of life and should be dealt with as a potential adversary rather than the West's new best mate. The pandemic has merely reinforced that view.

Best wishes to Boris Johnson. I wish him a speedy recovery. I've been impressed by his gravitas and humanity. He has stepped up as a true leader. Goodness knows we all need one at the moment.


Stay safe all.

We can cancel that whoarewe contract for starters. No more made in China stuff, they won't like that. £330bn for our economy from them would help too. Then there's the manslaughter of +75,000 people etc etc.

without wanting to put a dampener on things... vis a vis Boris' recovery... as I know from my own personal experience with my brother, if you follow someone's condition who is suffering from the more serious form of the virus on an hourly basis...there are huge numbers of ups and downs... I've lost count the number of times that my brother has said he has turned a corner only for the condition to suddenly change track, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse..

As for all these comments about China.. I have a faint memory of someone called Nigel Farage talking up all the trade we could do with China as we didn't apparently need the EU anymore!!

Breaking: 758 people who tested positive in England for coronavirus have died

Patients were aged between 23 and 102 years old and 29 of the 758 patients (aged between 23 and 99 years old) had no known underlying health condition.

Record high for UK fatalities - 854


96% had underlying conditions - so for healthy individuals under a certain age, the disease is rarely fatal.

The UKs worst period so far with 854 deaths this marks the 3rd successive rise on a Tuesday after lower weekend numbers.

Let's all hope for the later. The thought of a serving PM having a funeral which nobody can attend sounds dreadful.

Quite right, the agony of this is that the testicles of death extend far an wide beyond no only immediate family but friends and work colleagues also. Its an awful thing to think about, but soon we all know someone directly or indirectly that has been impacted. This is why its sad to see that so many people can live in this bubble and think it wont affect them.

Most of those people whose deaths have been reported today would have very likely been infected when shops etc. were still open.

This is not necessarily criticism, it's the cold reality of this awful decease.

Always worth pointing out, since it takes three to four weeks to kill. That is the Italian evidence and it is born out by what we have seen in this country. And when we say three to four weeks - that is from the point of confirmed diagnosis, so the person concerned may have already had the infection for a week prior to that.

As these figures are showing historic infections from before the lockdown they give a real insight into the rate of climb we  would most likely be seeing without it.

On a more serious note I was shaken yesterday as I mentioned in yesterdays thread. My ex wife lost a good friend yesterday to COVID 19, another friend shows symptoms and my ex wife is now showing feverish symptoms and is under house quarantine by her doctors orders.
