    You had 1/2 million people turn up in Dorset the other day, so I have my doubts about just how many Brits actually gave a shit about the lockdowns the whole time and just saw it as a Netflix holiday

    ‘MAJOR INCIDENT’ declared in BOURNEMOUTH - pls stay away. With 1/2 million visitors in Dorset, roads are gridlocked, hindering emergency vehicles & beaches are full - with Dispersal Orders on both piers. I’ve asked Police Minister to dispatch additional police if Dorset requests

    I get it you’re out for blood, and the countless tens of thousands of people who are suffering various degrees of pain, discomfort, and long-lasting injury from COVIC-19 isn’t enough to satisfy your appetite.

    Then perhaps this next story will………….


    Texas Medical Center hospitals - The institutions — which together constitute the world’s largest medical complex — reported Thursday that their base intensive care capacity had hit 100 percent for the first time during the pandemic and was on pace to exceed an “unsustainable surge capacity” of intensive care beds by July 6.

    Here in Jamaica that is the way the government did it, they put a lockdown for 2 weeks on some very small zones, and traced all cases ..Investgate the official reports, and if you believe the official reports, you will see that it seemed to work quite well..Only 10 deaths and around 600 cases for 3 millions people in the island.But these are official numbers.And this is a little island..To me it is a little funny to see these small numbers, because still in february thousands of american tourists were there..

    Maybe in Vietnam and Thailand they eat better, and they eat less meat!The more toxines you have, the more your food does not have Life-force , the more you are catching viruses!

    Mmm hmmmm

    It's a shame it's not true

    Texas Hospital Says 100% Of ICU Beds Full—Then Removes Its Report

    "The medical center’s website claims in a popup that an “incomplete slide deck” was posted yesterday, and promised “new slides. . .will be released later today [and] will provide a more comprehensive and accurate description of the current status.”

    Your ignorance is deafening

    The Houston Chronicle reported that the change occurred after a conversation "between Gov. Greg Abbott [R] and hospital executives in which the governor
    expressed displeasure with negative headlines about ICU capacity."

    WHO director: Pandemic is 'speeding up

    Six months after the World Health Organization (WHO) first identified a cluster of atypical pneumonia cases at a hospital in Wuhan, China, the number of people newly infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is rising rapidly.

    More than 10 million people across the globe have tested positive for the coronavirus, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Monday, nearly 180,000 of whom tested positive in the last 24 hours. Almost half a million people have died worldwide.

    The reality is this is not close to being over," Tedros told reporters. "Globally, the pandemic is actually speeding up."

    "As of June 23, 97% of the medical center’s 1,330 ICU bed base capacity was occupied, 70% by non-COVID-19 patients and 27% by COVID-19 patients, according to TMC data.

    However, high capacity levels are nothing new for the medical center, Boom said.

    “It is completely normal to have capacities in the 80% and 90%,” he said."

    Texas Medical Center leadership looks to assuage ICU capacity fears amid COVID-19 surge

    So, you are going to go for straight out denial then.

    That is from the actual hospital group itself, only 1/4 of their ICU beds are actually filled by Covid patients

    "Researchers in China have discovered a new type of swine flu that is capable of triggering a pandemic.

    Named G4, it is genetically descended from the H1N1 swine flu strain that caused a pandemic in 2009.

    It possesses “all the essential hallmarks of being highly adapted to infect humans,” say scientists at Chinese universities and China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention"
