The Covid-19 Thread

Sorry to hear that mate

[Medicine Man]

Same. Condolences mate.

Even though we sometimes don't see eye to eye with family however distant it's still heartbreaking to see them go. We're all humans after all.

Take care.

sorry to hear that. My condolences

Cheers.

Apparently they told him he would need to go on a ventilator but that his chances were very slim to ever wake up for the induced coma so he told them to save the machine for someone with a chance and spent the last few hours with his wife. At least getting it as a couple meant they could be together.

It seems that the protests in America are getting more widespread. They're already up to 30,000 deaths and yet moronic citizens are out in the street blocking traffic claiming that the virus is a hoax and that America can't be closed down. These people are just... urgh. And Trump is encouraging them on Twitter!

I really hope that if the shit hits the fan over there and the death count enters the hundreds of thousands that our government has the sense to ban all travel from the USA to the UK, because we are never going to clear this thing if not. Already there are planes flying in from New York, one of the worst hit states in the US, and passengers are departing with no checks or tracing whatsoever.

The sad thing is that I can see the government doing bugger all because Boris has hinged so much on this American trade deal in 2021 and Trump is so deranged that they don't want to do anything to upset him.
