#1 OK, here we go again: apocalyptic doom-mongering because of this neo-flu, and the all-too-predictable rapid pivot from the topic du jour to My Pre-Existing Politucal Grievance.

We get it: you were unhappy about the state of NHS funding long before anyone heard of neo-flu aka COVID.

But stop prostituting yourself. The sky will not fall in. This virus will not deliver the nosectomy to spite your face that you so earnestly desire.

#3 Lack of funding?

When did you take a paycut to enable more beds?

#6 ^Socialized health care IS superior - for affirmative action medical graduates and liberal studies graduates who gotta have an administrative job.

Exactly! Think of all of the money poured down this rathole in academia, government and industry.

My first dentist was an ex-Navy ~~butcher~~, err, dentist and no I won't say anything else about him. But the thought of an "affirmative action doctor" only gives me shudders...

#11 I have fought this sort of thing for years. Now as the panic sets in people will do whatever to survive. Riots for food and sporting goods stores will and are currently not reported. National guards are deployed now in Maryland. Shortly national lock-down will happen. So what to do?. Food supplies for a month till end of April. Stay indoors. Sunlight kills this virus. Heat kills this virus. Pot of water on the stove simmering with white vinegar will kill virus. Apple cider vinegar a shot or two to an 8oz glass of water, say three glasses. This changes your chemistry to what the virus can't handle. Repeat as needed. Natural diuretic,pain killer, but the important part is how it creates a hostile environment for the virus like frost on a plant. I had this confirmed by a Bio Chemist. I have absolute control over a virus. Bacterial now that is a different animal. Antibiotic only way to fight back. So who am I?. What is my education?. That doesn't matter. Most people will do only what they believe no matter what you will say or your training. The new problem in China is that children are now becoming severely ill with a new variant.

#13 Why is it time after time I read about a "professional" medical respiratory specialist coming into contact with a obviously sick patient.Yet not one of these fucks is wearing a mask to start with....only later to find out its the first case of Covid in their hospital.
