cute, no one called it hoax.
The worst was that awful liar Kathy Griffin. What a horror she is.
That’s good that people have stuck indoors. Here in Poland the weather is mostly miserable. Plus Poles are hypochondriacs :) and are scared of this so are following the rules strictly
“What is it with these boobish politicians? Either they can’t follow the simplest health instructions or they are trying to garner sympathy. Which is it?”
That’s a little harsh. Taking precautions is wise, but is no guarantee you won’t get exposed. They say the virus lasted something like 14 days on the cruise ship after everyone left. The vast majority of “carriers” are asymptomatic, or have such mild symptoms that they have no idea they have been infected. Many were infected weeks before the virus was in the news, and before social distancing was even a thing.
That means a lot of people are going to continue to get exposed regardless of social distancing, masks, hand washing, etc.
If you happen to live or work in a densely populated spot, where there are already many infections, it is hard to imagine how you could avoid exposure. Let’s just hope you are among the vast majority of exposures where symptoms are mild, or even non existent.
Boris was on a cruise ship?
Kathy Griffin is exactly how her character on Seinfeld was — highly irritating and self-seeking
Matt Hancock
Following medical advice, I was advised to test for #Coronavirus.
I‘ve tested positive. Thankfully my symptoms are mild and I’m working from home & self-isolating.

He is the UK Health Minister.
Oh ya? Just look at Queen Justin(e) I of Kanadahar!
Since his wife apparently caught the CCP-Coronavirus, he has self isolated, issuing daily press conferences and short question period afterwards, from his lapdog press.
ru roh!
Wasn’t Boris going to teach Trump what to do 2 days ago. Who’s the dumba$$ now? Wash your hands.
“What is it with these boobish politicians? “
real simple: the nature of their job prevents them from “cowering in place” ... the same as doctors, nurses, firemen and policemen, et. al. ...
It’s that the virus is very widespread to folks with little or no symptoms
Which means the death rate outside folks with comorbidity issues is tiny
That’s what it means
Sadly it’s a perfect storm to kill folks vulnerable
97% have it with mild or no symptoms
That three percent is at risk
I’m in that 3 Percent which is why I take hydroxchloroquine 200mg every 2-3 days per various prophylaxis protocols
Which is the $64 question.
What should the 97 percent sacrifice to save the 3 percent?
No easy answers.
“I mean, the stupidity boggles the mind...”
Definitely - on both sides of the issue.
The real stat to maybe contribute that answer is what is the death rate for those at most risk and how does it compare with other contagions
It’s hard to tell with so much sensational press
Liberals on TV and unattributed Facebook doctor confessionals act like doctors and hospitals in the northeast are overwhelmed and stacking em like cordwood in the freezer
Which may well be true
Here in Nashville with 2.3 million metro and we have around 300 cases confirmed by testing and I think now six have been hospitalized and two died. The rest are at home with mild or no symptoms
That doesn’t sound overwhelmed but that’s Nashville which I’d assume for this means mostly Vanderbilt, St Thomas and Centennial . Maybe the outlier suburban cases
Did he say that? That he was going to teach Trump something? Boris has been on and off an ass with the president.
Right, don’t go out in the sun until the FDA has adequately tested and approved, and your physician says it’s ok! /S
There is a bug difference between me writing “it’s not conclusively proven that heat will destroy the virus, but we have hope”
And you saying that people should not go out into the sun.
Stoo acting democrat
