And whose fault was that, only china. If a country like that decide not to play ball you're sh1t out of luck. The WHO isn't perfect but it is needed. Just look at the job they did with ebola. If that took hold we were looking at a disease straight from a horror movie.

Dr Mike Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organisation's health emergencies programme, mentioned the 17 Ebola outbreaks you never heard of... They were contained before too much damage was done, and he was involved in all of them.

Exactly, I've seen pictures of him in a helicopter with ebola patients. Takes a bit of balls consudering what you're dealing with. What the fcuk has trump ever done. Useless ball of blubber

I am living through, deja vu...
Nursing Homes....
I’ve shed a thousand tears…
Whilst you all may be blaming the Government, right now, right here, for inadequate action, for years, for some of us we have tried to fight the system, for our loved ones, I spent 3 years with HIQA, Ombudsman etc etc, to no avail, the blatant abuse of our aged, in the cloak of care hidden by profits, brings both heartache and helplessness, because once they enter, for you, and all of us, we don't have a say, they own our parents, nothing can be done, I tried.. so hard...it broke me....so whilst not Nursing Homes are culpable in this disaster I can tell you right now that some of those running them....deserve to go to hell....

I'm so sorry you were let down so badly. There is nothing else I can say. It's all so wrong and I can't imagine the feeling of helplessness.

Driving from my house to the supermarket, got stopped by a guard who said "where are you goin" in a very rude and accusatory tone.

Police state is here. Completely unnecessary.

Same here, except for me this was the first real live person I have got to speak to outside of my household for a long while - So I was delighted to answer his questions.:o

I never post personal stuff online but on this topic I'll make an exception. My 72 year old brother in law has been living very happily for the past 2 years in a Nursing Home. Two days ago he had a temperature and had difficulty breathing. They swabbed him then and this morning confirmed that he is positive:(. He has had 2 heart attacks, a stroke and has had MS for 10 years. The Nursing Home Manager told his wife this morning that he is ok now but if his condition deteriorates, they will not be sending him to the hospital. He is on a DNR . She was in such a state of shock that she didn't think to ask them what treatment would he get in the Nursing Home. I can't believe that this fúckin thing I've been following and commenting on for weeks has now come to my own door. I'm sick today thinking that the best man at our wedding might be struggling tonight to breathe and die alone.

Missus stopped twice on the way home from work.

Said the gards were nothing but nice when she was too.

Be nice and they will be too.

And I will have to say if they are nice I will be nice too . If they are a bollix/bollixette I will play the 5 second game which annoys them so much.

Ya i said to myself they're gonna fly by that in the next couple of weeks when i saw that.

Is it not because they think the peak has past in most places at this stage? They expect the number of deaths to slow down in a week or so.

There are plenty of states still on the rise. Plenty at the start of their curve. Europe didnt all move as one in terms of infection and neither will the states. Europe has about 90000 deaths. US will be similar or worse as some european countries were very successful.

Deaths across Spain, Italy, France, UK still remain consistently high. Its very depressing that there is still no major decline appearing yet, it feels like years since the lockdowns began there

And the whole period in the first chart is under lock down conditions...not much progress in the last couple of weeks (there has been progress previously as can be seen).

But who will replace him. Biden is a pretty crappy alternative

An actual piece of crap would be better than Trump

Another ugly side of this pandemic is the domestic violence.

And the crooked government ad campaign to make it look like only women get battered and abused.
