--- Quote from: Syntax Error on July 10, 2020, 04:27:59 pm ---Here's a thing for our UK members and others. I learned today of a family friend who was hospitalised with Covid-like symptoms in mid-December last year. He lives and works in Liverpool, and recently tested positive for Corana virus antibodies. So did he have Covid19 before xmas 2019? No-one is willing to say because this would kind of blow a hole in the official timeline. Suffice to say, when he originally went to his doctor with breathing problems, he was given antibiotics (sic). A few days later he was in the ICU. He made a full recovery, but is rightly sceptical of his 'pneumonia' diagnosis. --- End quote --- Yes, there is plenty of evidence to suggest it arrived in the UK well before the official timeline state. It's true, the UK authoraties have made numerous blunders, but I wouldn't blame them for missing the early cases, as many of the symptoms are simular to other diseases, especially flu. Pneumonia just means inflammation of the lungs. It can be caused by many things: bacteria, fungi, inhaling chemicals, as well as viruses such as flu and COVID-19. |

When old people get a bacterial or viral lung infection their immune system can't cope, antibiotics/virals might not work, at that stage they usually get the morphine syringe driver and the family summoned. |

You need to get rid of them as they turn from asset to burden. |

Ah care homes. Like a cruise, as deadly as a cruise but crap scenery and the destination is a hole in the ground. The whole concept is broken. |
