BBC still banging on about PPE, reporter Hugh Pim today shamelessly used his question to plug a BBC Panorama programme about ppe shortages that was on last night.

Health Secretary answered with " i saw the programme and I'm not sure that was a fair and unbiased piece of journalism !"

At least 4 of the medical staff interviewed are Labour activists 2 are members of momentum and have been on a platform with the Magic Grandpa.

It must be a cultural thing between nations, in UK people don't randomly inject themselves with stuff, even a nurse isn't authorised to decide what a patient is given.

Nurses can't do that here, in the US, except for the relatively few Advanced Practice RNs who, if I remember, spend about as much time in school as US MD's.

Anyone confused about what the government means when it says stay at home should tune into Sky who will clarify it for you.

Just voted on whether or not our camp will go from 7on/7off to 14on/14off. Find out shortly. The Ministry of Mines wanted 21/21 but the company convinced that this would create too much financial hardship. If the vote succeeds, I go back to work on May 13. If it fails the mine will shut down indefinitely.

You don't BECOME stupid.

Agreed, but it is possible for your stupidity to be manipulated so that it becomes a dominant factor for a time. The success of con men depends on this regardless of what sort of a con they are running.

Stupid media question of the day: Our prime minister was asked, in french, by not one but two reporters, how he could justify receiving imported PPE that did not exhibit the required labelling in both official Canadian languages.

We have the same stupid reasoning here exhibited by our state government which has decided that no-one is permitted to be a volunteer fire fighter unless they hold a blue card proving that they have had a police check to determine if they have any criminal history suggesting they might be a pedophile. Someone completely lacking in common sense has decided that a firey might have their evil way with that child while dragging that child out of a burning building.

They claim it is about child safety but the reality is there is a fee payable to get and renew the blue card so it is all about creating a revenue stream fir the government. God botherers, who have a long history of such abuse, do not need a blue card.

Thought I would post this here as well as the Obituary Thread as it is relevant.

Well, down to just two new cases here yesterday, and we're still in lockdown, although it's relaxed a bit.

Minnesota report, April 28
cases 4,181***, recovered 1,912, hospitalized 912, deaths 301**/***, tested 63,829*/***
fatality rate 7.2%
mortality rate 52.8 per million
test rate 11.2 per thousand*
*Test kits and reagents are becoming more available, there are currently more available than needed to meet the demands of testing for suspected COVID-19 cases and first responder/healthcare/medical personnel.
**Approximately 75% of Minnesota COVID-19 deaths are from cases originating in nursing homes and assisted care facilities. As of today, the youngest person to die was 44 years old, the oldest was 109.
***Although the measures used by Minnesota have reduced the rate of spread significantly, our rate of spread (reflected by the 'curve') is still increasing. This is true regardless of whether the controlling factor used is confirmed cases, test rate, or death rate.

Now there are rumors of the virus re-activating in some who were "cured". There may be no stopping this one. Thank you Beijing for making us all sick.

fubar57 · Apr 29, 2020

Perhaps not a rumour but they say they need to look into it more....https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/covid-19-relapse-or-reinfection-1.5546771

A good sign, maybe...

6 monkeys given an experimental coronavirus vaccine from Oxford did not catch COVID-19 after heavy exposure, raising hopes for a human vaccine

Those were some smart monkeys to con Oxford professors to create a monkey vaccine before a human vaccine.

Yeah, those dishes catch all sorts of diseases...

Does Covid19 infect monkeys? There seems to be conflicting accounts of how species-specific it is (cats, etc)
