Coronavirus - will we survive?

I read somewhere that this virus can be deceiving where you feel better just before it goes incredibly worse.

It may lift the nation's morale a touch if Boris pulls through.

Hope your mum is keeping her spirits up with all this Boncey.

Thanks for asking KP. She likes watching Bullseye on youtube, so she's happy enough. She must have watched each episode ten times over.

She’s probably got her eye on that speedboat.

I think she's getting ideas.

Some good news for a change -

Formula 1 team begins producing breathing aid




Mercedes-AMG HPP has begun production of the breathing aid its F1 team developed with engineers at University College London and clinicians at UCLH.

The Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device is used to deliver oxygen to a patient's lungs without using a ventilator.

They are already used in UK hospitals but are in short supply.

The company produced nearly 600 CPAP devices on Monday and is hoping to increase that to 1,000 a day.

The government has ordered 10,000 of the breathing aids, which are being made on machines that would normally produce Formula 1 pistons and turbochargers.

Here's another Pandumbic hero!

Right at the bottom of the article it even says this!!!

"There's another major flaw with both these theories. Coronavirus is spreading in UK cities where 5G has yet to be deployed, and in countries like Japan and Iran that have yet to adopt the technology".

In 2020 we still have people believing this rubbish. Even the flat earthers are growing in number.

I know people on facebook who follow the likes of Icke and they are constantly reposting this kind of dangerous shit

Maybe they aren't the kind of people you want to know.

i do wonder that myself sometimes 

I know one fella in particular who is obsessed with American politics and posts stuff from Alex Jones (look him up and no i don't mean the lovely lady from the One Show) who is a crackpot.

He's an anti-vaxxer as well but i did pull him on that one as i work at RMCH and have had to deal with things like measles outbreaks because people don't vaccinate their kids.

In 2020 we still have a majority of people who believe Marc Iles did a brilliant job in reporting on BWFC's financial difficulties. Folk believe what they want to believe irrespective of the facts and there's nothing they hate quite so much as folk who understand or try to explain facts that conflict with their beliefs.

As Orwell put it ''Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”

And

''Orthodoxy means not thinking--not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.”

Oh God.

unbelievable.

Just in case you had got the wrong idea, Boncey, which I suspect you had, I was commenting on people who swallow tripe who can never accept or admit that they have been swallowing tripe.

Of course,you wouldn't be one of them. Heaven forbid!

I'm always on my guard. Our window cleaner is Elvis Presley, and I was talking to him last month about the various outlandish theories concerning his supposed death that seem to pop up everywhere.
He faked his own death in order to move to morecambe, where he had a caravan, but moved to Warrington when it was destroyed after his chip pan caught fire and razed it to the ground.
He's lived quietly, earning money collecting for the St. Rocco's Hospice Lottery, and making a great success of his window cleaning round.
He looks very different now, being bald and six inches shorter, and his voice has all but gone, but now and again he'll break into 'Blue Suede Shoes' and give his customers a treat.
A nice bloke, but he's never been the same since Marc Iles ran off with his wife.

What happened to his job down the chip shop ?

His chip pan problem is a moveable feast.

I don't know why you didn't volunteer for the Board of the ST, Boncey, but I hope you've got some evidence to support your claim that Elvis's wife was nothing but a no good golddigger who ran off with a tripe tycoon.

Btw wasn't Elvis the Carl Perkins impersonator that nicked Carl's Blue Suede Shoes?

Fin lives in New York so hope you are keeping well over there mate!
