      YouTube

      It only runs to 3:53

      But compelling viewing. These young doctors and other front line health workers really are an inspiration.

        Indeed. And usually with a promise never to return. Never seems way too short to me.

          Indeed.

          And today's tin hat theory is that should there be some form of come back on China and countries sue for damages the more cases you had the more money you get....

              Funny how that video simultaneously spreads the rumours while criticising other people for spreading the rumours.

                Good question. We’re seeing a diversification of counting strategy.

                I’m concerned that the government are implementing stats methodology that limits the true figures. As an example: we all know that Germany appears good now as they’re testing, testing, testing.

                We are only testing hospital cases here. All the government has to do to show improvement is increase testing and gradually everything will appear better regardless.

                If someone has mild asthma but dies from acquiring Covid19 I’d say they died of Covid19 personally and would want that recorded as such.

                  Asthma is mild until someone has an asthma attack or other respiratory illness that hospitalises them.

                    Here we fookin go!

                    Colleague of wife has it, tested positive today. Wife has been off unwell this last week with hacking cough so its pretty much guaranteed she has it. Her work don't want her in. She has been on a list to get tested for like a week or more and nobody has called.

                    Its possible I have had it and it's just not had any effect.
