The sad truth is that they were most likely to have been infected by a member of staff.

I think there was one mentioned where a medical professional had tested positive.

Rate of new cases lower, yet again, than yesterday. What do you base the scaremongering on? Deaths are up but that has been expected with the care home clusters.

I think some people just love painting as dark a picture as possible.

When your only interest in this really is in painting the current governmental administration in a very bad light in the vain hope that the administration you PREFER will benefit from that, then it’s essential to keep pushing the message that they’re doing everything wrong wrong wrong.
Never let up.

AN EXCELLENT SUMMARY ON THE CORONAVIRUS.*
From an Asst. Prof. in Infectious Diseases at Johns Hopkins University.
It is quite informative,
and is an excellent summary as to how to avoid the contagion, and it is very clear and easy to follow.
*The virus is not a living organism,* but a protein molecule (DNA) covered by a protective layer of lipid (fat) which, when absorbed by the cells of the ocular, nasal or buccal mucosa, changes its genetic code (mutation) and converts into aggressor and multiplier cells.
*Since the virus is not a living organism but a protein molecule, it is not killed,* but decays on its own. The disintegration time depends on the temperature, humidity and type of material where it lies.
*The virus is very fragile; the only thing that protects it is a thin outer layer of fat.
That is why any soap or detergent is the best remedy, because the foam CUTS the FAT (that is why you have to rub so much, for 20 seconds or more, to make a lot of foam)
By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own.
*HEAT melts fat; this is why it is so good to use water above 25 degrees Celsius for washing hands, clothes and everything.
In addition, hot water makes more foam and that makes it even more useful.
*Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% DISSOLVES ANY FAT, especially the external lipid layer of the virus.
*Any mix with 1 part bleach and 5 parts water directly dissolves the protein, and breaks it down from the inside.
*Oxygenated water helps long after soap, alcohol and chlorine, because peroxide dissolves the virus protein, but you have to use it pure and it hurts your skin.
*NO BACTERICIDE SERVES. The virus is not a living organism like bacteria; *you cannot kill what is not alive with antibiotics.*
*NEVER shake used or unused clothing, sheets or cloth.
While it is glued to a porous surface, it is very inert and disintegrates only between 3 hours (fabric and porous) 4 hours (copper, because it is naturally antiseptic) and wood (because it removes all the moisture and does not let it peel off)
24 hours (cardboard) 42 hours (metal) and 72 hours (plastic)
But if you shake it or use a feather duster, the virus molecules float in the air for up to 3 hours, and can lodge in your nose.
*The virus molecules remain very stable in external cold, or artificial cold such as air conditioners in houses and cars. They also need moisture to stay stable, and also darkness. Therefore, dehumidified, dry, warm and bright environments will degrade it faster.
*UV LIGHT on any object that may contain it breaks down the virus protein.
For example, to disinfect and reuse a mask, UV LIGHT is perfect. But be careful, because it also breaks down collagen (which is protein) in the skin, eventually causing wrinkles and skin cancer.
*The virus CANNOT go through healthy skin.
*Vinegar is NOT useful because it does not break down the protective layer of fat.
*NO SPIRITS, NOR VODKA, serves.
The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you need 65%.
*LISTERINE SERVES. It is 65% alcohol.
*The more confined the space, the more the concentration of the virus will be. The more open or naturally ventilated, the less.
N.B. In addition to the above, you have to wash your hands before and after touching mucosa, food, locks, knobs, switches, remote control, cell phone, watches, computers, desks, TV, etc.
And when using the bathroom,
you have to HUMIDIFY HANDS DRY from so much washing of them, because the molecules can hide in the micro cracks. The thicker the moisturizer, the better.
*Also keep your NAILS SHORT so that the virus does not hide below them.

The idea of wearing masks to break the link between the face and the hands is really good.

Yeah, but the fact is people don't know how to use them safely. I saw a news report from Italy during the week with a priest coming out of a hospital with a bible in one hand and wearing a mask and gloves. He was removing the mask as he was walking, while still wearing the gloves and putting his hands all over his face to take the mask off.

I don't think the mask did him any good in that case.

Gonna be interesting to see how many factories try to bend the rules to stay open especially when it seems to be self regulated you basically deem yourself essential by your own interpretation of the list and issue your employees with a letter. For eg. I wouldn't imagine a window manufacturer or a Boat builder would be essential but you could make the list suit

Neighbours near me had visitors all day, including children. Cluster waiting to happen. 3 cars currently. They won’t change.

Nope I'm a completely realistic poster have been since day one and like I've always said I had hoped I was wrong about everything.

Yeah but didn't you also have a tantrum, get in a strop and get subsequently banned?

Saying, "It's getting away from them" is not being realistic because of the number of deaths in one day.

Tough choices are made every day in hospitals around the country well before this CV outbreak. In a lot of cases if the patient has little quality of life at admission, and treatment will not improve that, the patient will be sedated, be under palliative care and will slip away. I know this for a fact, you can choose whether to believe me or not.

Also nursing homes ask Next of Kin (where resident is not compos mentis) whether family would like resident to be moved to hospital for treatment or to be resuscitated etc. in the event of serious illness a DNR if you like. I know this too.

That was my mother, god rest her. She had a very peaceful passing at a great age with no beeping interventions and tubes and the like. Bless her, and all those that have passed during this outbreak. You can be assured that they will not have been in distress.

Plenty of younger people involved in car accidents and other traumas are also removed from Life support i.e. ventilators too. It is no way genocide, it is the right thing to do in a lot of cases, and has been going on since ventilators were invented.

Look what happened in Spain where nurses and care staff contacted the virus in a nursing home and couldn’t come to work and the homes were left deserted. The army found elderly dead in their beds. The care staff definitely need some form of protection against this virus.

I know and your right but I worked in one for years, its just not possible. The sight of staff in Hazmat suits would finish them quick. These places are full of people with severe dementia, imagine their reaction, its impossible.
