    Question China was deliberately responsible for the pandemic?

    This is an interesting video, the contents of which if true could potentially lead to creating the next world war:

    Don't believe everything you see on the Internet...

    That's Peter Navarro, currently Trump's Trade Secretary, and has been pushing the Anti-China narrative for a while now.
    Wasn't always like this for him, like a lot of Trump Staff they seem to ditch their Principles for some reason.
    Back in January and February he published two Memo's to the White House warning of the severity of an oncoming Pandemic if nothing was done.
    https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/p...ry/2959826001/

    Now he argues with the Scientific experts, continues to downplay the threat and pumps up the Anti-China "yellows under the bed" rhetoric.

    Here he is again the end of March, bear in mind this is AFTER he published two official Memo's to the White House forecasting the horrors of the Pandemic.
    He got that right...just not the severity of it.


    Not a guy to be taken at face value, based on past behavior.
    People show you who they are...You believe them the first time.

    Boris now putting blame for Care Home deaths on them "not following procedures"...
    Usual post match spin from Downing Street.

    How do you know that's not correct? Are you just assuming it's incorrect because Boris is saying it?

    Maybe it isn't true, I don't know. I don't have all the facts and the data. Do you?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    Why would I assume that?

    Its not the person (Johnston) that's saying it Martin, or my opinion of what he says, its his MESSAGE...and unfortunately the hypocrisy of his Government in its handling of the Crisis.

    I would invite you to do some research if your interested enough, there's lots of it out there.
    The comments section with many Care Home staff giving their own accounts in that link I put up could be a starter for you.

    So many personal accounts from Care Home staff and management doing their best and not getting the support or PPE equipment they were crying out for.

    Shameful.

    Actually I was just reading yesterday that in fact there was no increase in the number of people going to care homes from hospital after the start of the pandemic. More fake news.

    Added to which does anyone really think that when a patient is to be transferred from hospital to a care home that the PM makes that decision personally? For each one? Or is it in fact the case that the whole operation of transferring people from hospital to care has nothing to do with the PM, the government or the conservative party and is in fact managed and organised entirely by the NHS directors and managers, that being what they are specifically employed to do?

    Never going to happen mate, as long as we're alive and fit! So even if for any reason your family couldn't look after you, we would. I'm totally serious, btw.

    We have the right downstairs space to facilitate it, and the room even has a bed lift (hoist) fitted to the ceiling, left over from when we cared for Del's dad, plus the bathroom right next door doubles as 'wet room', with a huge shower area big enough to comfortably get a wheelchair in and out.

    So worry not - homes will not be for you!

    Example:

    Section 7 (Guidance on facemasks) of the Government's "Guidance for social or community care and residential settings on COVID-19", which was withdrawn on 13 March, stated in its entirety:

    “During normal day-to-day activities facemasks do not provide protection from respiratory viruses, such as COVID-19 and do not need to be worn by staff in any of these settings. Facemasks are only recommended to be worn by infected individuals when advised by a healthcare worker, to reduce the risk of transmitting the infection to other people. It remains very unlikely that people receiving care in a care home or the community will become infected.”


    Why was this Guidance withdrawn...?
