Coronavirus

I offer the link to Anthony Costello's twitter feed -he was on Channel 4 News last week arguing that one consequence of the UK Government's Exercise Cygnus, was that they decided not to stockpile ventilators and PPE but save money and opt to use supply chains should a pandemic take place. We can now see that supply chains have been a weak link because so many countries want the same supplies at the same time, and the UK is in the bizarre position of having stocks of PPE that have been sent abroad because they were in that supply chain! Supply chains may become new battleground if as some think can happen, governments decide China cannot be trusted, or relied upon to make things they can make themselves, though I doubt because of the capital cost that major industries are going to return to Europe and North America.

The twitter feed is here and has the cute argument that the countries that have been most successful in containing the worst aspects of Covid 19 all have one thing in common: they are led by women..

Pretty poignant. I'll let this doctor speak for herself.

All of the hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin studies are coming back with disappointing results as well.

That thing about pushing hydroxychloroquine never happened, bronco. It's not as if they removed anyone from their job for resisting it.

Thanks. I saw that. No wonder our agencies are getting stripped of talented people when self-censorship is now the most important qualification. I thought this was a good blog post by Bill Gates for anyone who is interested in general information about transmissibility, vaccine development, treatments from antibody treatments to antivirals to the use of convalescent serum, and testing. If you've been following you probably know a lot of this but not all and it's well organized and informative.

How long before those killed by Trumps stupidity overtakes the Covid death toll?

Just when you thought the lowest point had been reached, this...is he going to volunteer to be the first person to drink detergent? Are Murdoch's Morons on Fox News, who touted the first Miracle Cure over 300 times before dropping it, going to show us how wonderful it is to drink or inject detergent, and watch the sales of sun cream collapse as the people head to Florida for their daily dose of some ultra-violet (they have better UV there) ?
Thanks mostly for the second twitter link, Sarah Cooper deserves to be as famous for that skit as Stanley Tucci making a Negroni. She is also gorgeous whch helps get over the insane garbage that is now a daily feature of the worst TV show in American history,

Just the latest example of stupidity from the so-called medical genius Donald Trump,who is an unfit and unqualified clown who doesn't know what the hell he is doing. and doesn't believe in science and will silence and remove anyone who disagrees with his crackpot ideas.

The revelation in the Government document leaked to the Guardian begs all the right questions, but was the answer a simple case of indifference to the prediction, and a rejection of the money required to prepare for somethiing they did not think would become reality?

"Ministers were warned last year the UK must have a robust plan to deal with a pandemic virus and its potentially catastrophic social and economic consequences in a confidential Cabinet Office briefing leaked to the Guardian.
The detailed document warned that even a mild pandemic could cost tens of thousands of lives, and set out the must-have “capability requirements” to mitigate the risks to the country, as well as the potential damage of not doing so."

And it wasn't a random thought bubble or a sarcastic joke, as Trump is now claiming. This guy really does believe the last person he spoke to, if that person happens to be on his side. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...mp-coronavirus

What was the name of that novel -Death Comes for the Archbishop? I guess this is the bootleg version, Death Comes From the Archbishop...!
