Agree best wishes to him and anyone with the virus but it cant be two weeks since he said he shook hands with everyone in a hospital. Assume he washed his hands but you know still reckless.On a human level I pray he recovers and as many have been saying I feel for his pregnant partner Carrie. Otherwise, this is a non story which a more cynical person would say has been confected to distract from the shortage of PPE and ventilators.
Like Alan Krumwiede in the film Contagion.
Can't sleep so up and grumpy with a 5.9 and 35.1 on the temp gauge. I have to go into the village today, using the car but I'm still nervous about it. My local drug dealer has my stuff but they let me know the cops are about.
That is possibly the most irresponsible piece of journalism I have read lately. It is comparing apples and pears to argue that AIDS/HIV is a bigger killer (it's not) because the ONLY way to get it is through actual physical sex or a direct blood transfusion. This is the argument anti-vaxxers use and you may as well state the following (as it's actually more factual) -
Life has been shown to be far more deadly than any virus. Life... something suffered by 100% of humanity with a 100% death rate. No-one survives yet the governments of the world do nothing at all to help the spread of Life. China famously tried to prevent Life by restricting childbirth but the religious right in the west refused to take up the plan leading to a 2.4 billion increase in Life in less than 10 years. A spokesman for WHO said, "It is true that Life is the singular most deadly disease, the only cure is that you only live once (YOLO) but the Hindus, Buddhists, and Daoist refuse to play the game".
Apples and pears
Just because you are grumpy and nervous gives you no excuse for your public response to my post. I posted it in good faith in an attempt to provide some encouraging news for my friends here. The people you have called your virtual family.
You seem to think my thoughts not only have no value but you imply that they are "irresponsible" and that I might as well have posted that "life is more deadly than a virus."
If you had issues with my post you should have contacted me privately. Instead you chose to publicly shame and humiliate me on this board.
I don't know why.

Totally agree with the first part of your post, would not want Covid 19 to befall anyone - look at the lengths we are all going to try to avoid it and hope he recovers quickly. I also feel for his partner - she must be worrying herself sick. I do find it strange though how many known names are coming down with the virus, do they all run around in the same circles or something.On a human level I pray he recovers and as many have been saying I feel for his pregnant partner Carrie. Otherwise, this is a non story which a more cynical person would say has been confected to distract from the shortage of PPE and ventilators.

Yes, I knew Boris shares my birthday but I'm not the sort to hold a grudge. We are both pro cake and pro eating cake - just mine is LC from here https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/c...-sour-cream-frosting-low-carb-and-gluten-free (just never, ever, ever frosting- Ganache is fine - just no frostingYep, it wouldn't surprise me at all. Also on another site at the moment talking about the same thing, plus Boris and Trump were both born in NY, one in 1964 and the other in 1946. Birthdays are 19th and 14th June
As I watch very few films, this post has completely passed me by. But I guess that's my problemLike Alan Krumwiede in the film Contagion.

Oh dear he's done a bot of a U turn now...think he's been put under the thumb now Trumps thumb.It will be interesting to see if that does hsppen.
We have no idea how many have the virus as it ranges in it's severity from mild to severe to deadly...those names were fortunate enough to be tested Rhyia so have a diagnosis and hopefully have caught it early...our health care professionals and the public with mild symptoms will not be tested...unacceptable really.I do find it strange though how many known names are coming down with the virus, do they all run around in the same circles or something.
