But you just know the military planners wanted to name that; "NHS Canary." https://www.theguardian.com/society/video/2020/apr/01/nhs-nightingale-inside-londons-temporary-coronavirus-hospital-video Seeing as how it's down by the Wharf. Where we used to bring the coal in. So bad luck; Manchester, Birmingham, Wales & definitely Scotland. Now we've done the work for you. You're going to have to at least try & come up with names of your own. Liverpool, of course, is beyond help. They're already demanding medals. For basically just doing their jobs. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/selfless-exhausted-nhs-heroes-deserve-21769301 Crap. Now I've got to try & explain the concept of; "jobs" to Liverpool.

https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-healthy-boy-13-is-youngest-uk-victim-11966526 I prefer the Old Testament God. The Old Testament God had balls. I'm probably though a little bit too drunk to start poking grieving relatives. Obviously I'd prefer an autopsy. It seems clinically relevant for a couple of reasons; Firstly his age. Secondly the progression seems unusually rapid. Typically I've heard about 7-9 days until ventilation is required. Moving forward I have some extremely technical questions regarding; "Ventilator Days." Requesting an autopsy is obviously going to present a challenge to the relatives Muslim faith. Those relatives apparent money grubbing presents a much more serious challenge to us all; "Are we seriously f'cking banning funerals now!?!" This reminds me of the really early days of the AIDS crisis. As portrayed in the 2012 Swedish mini-series; Don't Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves." Not only w...

That can't be right. We all know why the WHO initially recommend social distancing for literally everything. It's basically their hold music.

Not Every Death is a Tragedy! Some deaths are a blessing. https://us.cnn.com/2020/03/30/us/hanukkah-stabbing-victim-dies/index.html A physical, emotional and spiritual blessing. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/06/29/health/jahi-mcmath-brain-dead-teen-death/index.html Now how can we explain that to progressive loonpots? https://www.mediaite.com/tv/democratic-rep-haley-stevens-absolutely-explodes-on-house-floor-refuses-to-yield-ahead-of-coronavirus-vote/ Well.

Now look at us. Trapped in a dystopian reality. All in service of Gilead. https://www.intellectualpropertymagazine.com/patent/gilead-requests-covid-19-vaccine-waiver-140254.htm There of course is already a vaccine for Influenza. According to the UK government, even with that vaccine, the Flu is typically 85% more deadly than the worst case scenario for COVID-19. So clearly this must be society now. To protect us all from that far, far more dangerous disease.

I have actually been continuing to work on what should properly be referred to as; Far Eastern Acute Respiratory Syndrome (FEARS). The delay is that it is a very complicated topic. I'm concerned about putting out ideas before they are fully formed. Lest people take the germ of an idea and then extrapolate wildy into catastrophe. Having visited a supermarket for the first time in two weeks I've found myself proved right. To deal with panic buying I think I first suggested snipers. I then made the off-hand suggestion that supermarkets hire crowd control stewards. Due to the banning of all events involving large crowds they're not exactly in short supply at the moment. Supermarkets have taken this to mean; "Hire Nightclub Bouncers." So now, in supermarkets up and down the country, nightclub bouncers are doing what nightclub bouncers have been trained to do. Employing completely unnecessary one-in, one-out policies. In Britain at the moment there is of...

What would happen to that prediction? https://us.cnn.com/2020/03/30/health/coronavirus-us-ihme-model-us/index.html If we decided to ignore all the evidence that COVID-19 is significantly less dangerous than Influenza. Then arbritarily model it as Super Ebola AIDS. On horseback. Oh, It would stay at 82,000.

Meaningless busy work intended to calm people down by tricking them into thinking something is being done. Whether they do it or not doesn't have any impact on the outcome.

So Gilead, Roche, Wellcome Trust. Sackler Family. It really doesn't matter. In two to 300 years. When we've all forgotten about Covid-19. And you've finally invented that vaccine.

"Respiratory Physios are not needed in ICU's." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-51995357 It seems unfair that Boris Johnson gets to go last. In what has emerged as a daily global contest. Of who can stand behind a lectern and say the most stupid things imaginable. I mean. How is Trump meant to know how much he needs to raise his game by.

To give the impression of being in control the British Government has decided it is going to give a press conference of Covid-19 everyday. Putting huge pressure on the British Government to make a new, big announcement on Covid-19 everyday. Each slightly madder than the last.

*Coughs* Yep. Last Sunday (15/3/20) I sat down to write my assessment of Covid-19. The virus (2019nCov), the way the body responds to it and the illness it can cause (SARS-CoV-2). This significantly cut into my drinking time. So on Monday (16/3/20) I was surprised to discover I had a significantly worse hangover than usual. I also wanted to know why it had suddenly become so warm. Although there had been a 100% (5C-10C) increase in ambient temperature. This obviously didn't stop me finishing my assessment of Covid-19. Which can be read here; https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2020/03/far-eastern-acute-respritory-syndrome.html On Tuesday (17/3/20) I went to the supermarket. Where the situation can be described as; "Gone a bit Lagos." So obviously I was tired when I came back. In fact I needed to stay up drinking to around 3AM. To recover psychologically. I woke up late on Wednesday (18/3/20). Then rapidly took the decision to go back to bed. This is a routine ...

They're not even airing football highlights anymore. Just giving the whole show over to the white noise machines. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/match-of-the-day-bbc-coronavirus-gary-lineker-alan-shearer-ian-wright-tv-guide-a9414421.html

Which apparently isn't a documentary about the NHS. https://youtube.com/watch?v=s2-1hz1juBI No matter how 'special' the Andrew Garfield character seems. * I really shouldn't joke. I have many cousins. Many of whom are frontline healthcare professionals. One is a nurse. Who likens going to work at the moment as being like preparing to go into battle. She should know. *Seriously though. He was the brother who was hit over the head with a brick as a kid. Innit. Her husband has actually been into battle.

March 21st 2020 (21/3/20). A Saturday on which the British public are no longer being subdued by football and hangovers. I give the Prime Minister a week. Not until he's forced to resign. Until they hang him from a lamppost.;

Based on the location of my usual supermarket I would focus recruitment on all those football stewards who now have time on their hands. Running them through the tills as; "Greeters." Or; "Purchase Restriction Advisers." I would also look at closing for an hour to restock over lunch. Then again just before the evening rush.

They'd best hurry up with those letters then. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51969104 In fact why wait for the post. When there are plenty of couriers available.

March 20th 2020 (20/3/20). A day on which I traditionally mess about with household cleaning chemicals. Looking at this panic buying I seriously think Britain is going to be treating more Chlorine Gas related SARS cases than Covid-19 related SARS cases.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-51910748 Well. If what we know about viruses is true. Then it's not actually doing anything to the vast majority of people it infects. In contrast Ebola actually infects very few people. That's because within about a day of being infected with Ebola you're unconscious on the floor. Within about five days you're dead. It's a phenomenon that's actually seriously hampered research into Ebola. By the time researchers realise there's been an Ebola outbreak the virus has already killed everybody it has infected. Destroying itself in the process. It's the really interesting thing about the most recent Ebola epidemic. The virus cells seem to have taken a collective decision to be less lethal. In order to allow themselves to survive for longer. Meaning a special award must go to Sky News. For; "Least Helpful & Most Sensationalist Story." https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-spread-of-...

March 19th 2020 (19/3/20). Due to Covid-19 the long overdue cancellation of the Victoria Derbyshire show has been brought forward. Meaning that when I turned on the BBC News Channel I was able to see news. Or at least I would've been. Covid-19 has cancelled all that as well.

https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-vanessa-hudgens-criticised-for-heartless-comments-on-pandemic-11959421 If you look at the profiles of the patients dying. They're mostly in their 70's, 80's & 90's. Already suffering from very serious health problems. Heart Failure. Lung Fail etc. Nobody likes to talk about it but it's never been a question of saving their lives. It's a matter a delaying their inevitable deaths by a matter of months. The UK estimates 20,000 people fall into this group. You really have to question; Is it actually worth effectively imprisoning 66 million people for 18 months? To delay the inevitable deaths who were never going to survive those 18 months anyway. If Boris Johnson wants to emulate his hero Winston Churchill he's going to need to learn to relish decisions like that. On current form he's much more World War One Churchill than World War Two Churchill.

Because we all know when 2019nCoV (actual) was conceived. http://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2019/12/eurovision-2019-asie-israelpalestine_23.html Given the effects on Iran Israel is understandably looking nervous.

Governments saying incredibly stupid things. https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1256792/PMQs-Boris-Johnson-coronavirus-news-testing-NHS-UK-COVID-19-update What nations need to be doing is surveillance testing. Testing people in the general population without symptoms. Really to find out why don't have symptoms. Announcing you are limiting testing to people already sick in hospital shows you really haven't understood the issue. Particularly if, like Britain, you're also boasting about how you're investing GP£45m in an immunoassay prick test. Which is only useful to find out who, in the general population, has had the virus then recovered without symptoms. How much clearer can life make it? Britain really needs to employ a highly skilled professional.

People familar with my writing know that I'm prone to going off on tangents. Covid-19 is a massive topic. For example Covid-19 is actually an umbrella term. Covering both the virus and the illness it causes. The effect of Covid-19 on the healthcare system of any one nation, let alone the global system, is a topic almost too large to comprehend. One where it is so easy to go off on tangents it rapidly becomes totally incoherent. In times of panic and widespread concern I've found it's really important to calmly convey clear information. So I really need to take the time to get my head around the topic. Before I start lecturing other people. However there is one idea I've been playing about with. The issue with Covid-19 is not that it makes people seriously ill. It's that it makes a lot of people ill at the same time. Leaving the healthcare system unable to cope. This has got me thinking about the roughly 14% of patients who experience "severe"...

March 18th 2020 (18/3/20). Yeah. Unless you're interested in Covid-19 there's not really much else going on is there.

https://us.cnn.com/2020/03/17/health/coronavirus-uk-model-study/index.html That's heavily funded by vaccine maker Gilead now would it? https://www.genengnews.com/topics/bioprocessing/gilead-plans-20m-u-k-expansion/ If it is it might be worth reminding them.

https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-warning-over-ibuprofens-effect-on-covid-19-sparks-debate-11958827 The immune system causes inflammation as part of the process of fighting viruses. Ibuprofen prevents inflammation. Also the adverse effects of Ibuprofen can include shortness of breath and erratic heartrate. Which are also two of the "severe" symptoms of SARS-CoV-2. So Paracetamol is the better choice. Although, much like Tamiflu or whatever magic beans the Wellcome Trust are pushing this week, Any effect is really too small to be of any clinical significance. St Andrews really need to fire Muge Cevik though. For claiming there is absolutely no evidence that Ibuprofen does what Ibuprofen is licensed to do.

March 17th 2020 (17/3/20). Is it depressing that all these Covid-19 restrictions are not likely to affect me one little bit? Severely restricted movements, a constant threat of economic ruin and a near constant threat of death. That's my normal. And it has been for a very long time. I actually think that puts me at an advantage.
