If you are using the BBC to validate anything at all then maybe you need to check your sources...I know all about the BBC. Been listening to their lies all my life.
what source are you using then. You merely said that this isn’t the number you were being told.
however, you might be interested in trying to find some of the articles on censoring NHS nurses. Apparently, they are putting in severe social media guidelines trying to get nurses to not talk about their experience. I’m guessing it has something to do with the working conditions and ppe. I think they are really censoring the challenges involved. I don’t think they are trying to get these nurses to not say there is nothing to worry about on social media. It seems like they are trying to keep them from saying there is something they are worried about based on what they are seeing.
but I don’t try to speak about uk numbers because I’m not there. I do know how numbers are being collected in the us and I believe they are reliable.
but in all seriousness, the number one reason why we are vulnerable to a situation like this. Whether real or imagined. Is because there is no way to treat a viral condition the way we can expect to treat a bacterial one with antibiotics. That is the number one reason something like this snowballed the way it does and there are politics involved. There was negligence involved, but the
panic is created primarily because there is no treatment that can be implemented.
testing positive or negative is really pointless unless you can’t manage symptoms yourself because the hospital is just going to help you manage symptoms. There is nothing they can give you to reverse the process.
if a treatment comes out of this, we will actually be better off in the long run because that is what’s really creating the whole problem.
