Danger of coronavirus - 11500

[galexinda]

''Pet owners can leave their home with their pets without SMS permission or filling in form B provided they stay close by, the Health Ministry clarified on Tuesday. “In such cases, the required evidence will be the pet itself and the reasonable distance from the house of the pet’s guardian,” it said in an official announcement............

............The party said that pet owners can take their pet out for a walk or for their toilet needs without having to send an SMS provided they remain close and around their house.This is not restricted to one time a day, it added. Pet owners must carry their ID with them, the party had said''.

I don't know how true the social media is ? But it does indicate the UK is full of nutters!

Yeah, like burning down two 5G masts, in the belief these were responsible for spreading the virus

Any why did Covid-19 start in Wuhan? No smoke without fire, this story is chilling: https://news.yahoo.com/trail-leading-ba ... 25888.html

Perhaps now a "respected" member of the community (HIC) has mentioned this aspect of this thing we are all living through, the points I made in another post of might be discussed more sensibly than just poo-pooed as crazy scare mongering

My original post is attached and a few of the links

Everybody is capable of making sensible and dumb posts, you and HiC included.

Nor me, I guess it just goes to reinforce the conspiracy theories out there!

Wuhan has finally come out of lockdown , I think After about 70 days .

At one stage I was reading quite a few articles about how many cremation urns were being ordered by a few of the funeral homes in China - 3,750 in one week on one case - and also the previous week. Likewise there were aerial shots of a huge 'cemetery' in Iran and it showed how many extra graves appeared in a matter of days (100+).

"The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation in Seattle predicts 66,000 UK deaths from Covid19 by August, with a peak of nearly 3,000 a day and that the UK will be the country worst hit in Europe, with more than 40% of total deaths."

Now, like any prediction, we have to take with a little salt, until more predict the same, but very worrying indeed! Neil Ferguson says it is double his prediction! Which at 33,000 would be a catastrophe in itself!

Maybe they know that the head of the forensic department in Hamburg said he still has to see a single case in their post mortems which affected someone who hadn´t suffered from preexisting conditions and that therefore he thinks the lockdown is over the top. Be aware though that he considered smoking and being obese a preexisting condition and that if you include hypertension probably more than 50% of the population would have preexisting conditions even among those below 65 years of age.

My Consultant friend tells me that they see a lot of myocarditis and cardiac failure in Covid patients - many who didn't know they had any heart problems.

While I agree that most of the population are low-risk, they integrate with high-risk people, when social exclusion isn't implemented.

I'd also bet that people in Germany are generally much fitter than the UK and we know they have far, far better health services, plus far better testing, identifying clusters and taking action on them.

Out shopping this morning, kitted up in mask and double gloved only to find a number of Brits with no gloves or masks. It makes you think why bother.

Jim B - at the end of the day it is your health and safety, in fact your life and those dearest to you that counts, so continue to take whatever protective measures you feel comfortable with............. and keep a distance from those who do not adhere to your principles.

Gloves don´t provide a benefit compared to washing/disinfecting your hands. If anything they increase it.

EVIDENCE please Jeba

Ah ha... So I am not the only one that wonders why the medical profession wear gloves, and they are provided at many supermarkets for the public to use ..

Not wishing to appear rude but I prefer to take the advice of the WHO rather than a layman. I do actually use sanitizer before entering a shop and also when leaving and on arriving home I spray my shoes and leave them outside. After unpacking our purchases we get changed and wash our hands with soapy water.
It may appear over the top to you personally but it's worth the effort for the wellbeing of my family.
