Anyone ever get a feeling the virus is a hoax?

Nurse, 37, and her identical twin sister both die of coronavirus within days of each other

The twin sister of a nurse who died of coronavirus and inspired applause from NHS staff was also killed by the bug just hours after the heartfelt tribute.

Emma Davis, 37, a former nurse herself, died at Southampton General Hospital today, just three days after the death of identical twin Katy, who worked as a children's nurse, at the same hospital.

Their sister Zoe confirmed the tragedy as she revealed the pair, who lived together, were unwell and suffering from other health conditions for some time.

Tragic ...may they R.I.P

Stuff like this makes me cry. Age 37. They had their whole life ahead of them. They are real heroes.

Here's a better source, @hollydolly, taken during the press conference:

And immediately after that suggestion Lysol immediately put up an advertisement warning people never to consider ingesting or injecting a household disinfectant as medicine in hopes of ridding the virus or for any other reason.

Why would you think not ?.... :oops: what an odd thing to say ...

yes it is warm here..we've had sun and really warm weather for the last 6 weeks. If you look on the photo thread you will see pictures I have taken just this week while out for a walk near my home.

Do you think our major tabloid would be posting pictures of sunshine in our towns and cities to a potential population of 70 million people...if we didn't have sun?... good grief. !!! SMH!!

I looked up average temps for one of those areas for May, not April and it said 50-59. That doesn't seem like shirtless temps to me.

you can look up average temps all you like, the truth is we have had mid 70's average temps here for weeks and almost 80 on several days..did you even look at my pictures that I took this week of my area, as well as the pictures in the media.. ? ...:oops:

Are you well?.... how can you even argue with someone about the weather in area you're not in with someone who is.... give me strength !!
 
Even here in my corner of north west England it has been very warm and sunny for weeks, most definitely above average temperatures and I've been sitting in my yard wearing Tshirt and capri pants. :cool:

From various newspaper reports it looks like April in UK could possibly be recorded as the hottest on record.

Absolutely Pam... and you can imagine how hot it's been here in the south if it's been hot where you are in the North west 🌞...it was the same last year and the year before here... we had a real hot April, then wet May and nothing decent until around mid June, then we had the hottest summer for about 4 months with temps in the low 90's .. and then it was tooooo Hot due to the high humidity ..could barely sleep at night just got fans and no AC (people will remember me moaning about no AC the last couple of years) 😂, and I have a feeling we might get the same again this year
 
Trump got himself in big trouble with that Lysol nonsense. The expressions on the faces of his physicians at the press conference were priceless. They looked like they had been clobbered by a sledgehammer.

The spin specialists immediately started covering for him, telling us that he was obviously only being sarcastic. Don't really swallow any Lysol, folks.

Watch for the next carefully manufactured lie to deflect attention.

I looked at the weather for the previous 72 hours as well, the "high" I saw was a brief 72 degrees.....but as you say , you live there, I do not.

However, if all these people in the photos, are uncaring & thumbing their nose at "govt, rules" by being outside & in groups.......Who is the uncaring person that went outside & took the photos of them ?

Again, I did not hear sarcasm or suggestion, I heard a question being asked of a medical professional, about a long-shot solution.......

45A11CDC-3C24-464D-A7DB-87EAAA3F04B1.jpegI’m not sure where to post this but I’m really impressed with the precautions my husbands company have put in place to protect their employees. All employees entering the building go through the door and get tested by this machine which uses zero radiation . It checks employees temperature. It’s not fool proof for detecting the virus since people can carry it with no symptoms but it’s a start. They got them masks , hand sanitizer and gloves too.

This is a picture of my husband testing it. He looks really weird in the infa red no touch scanner. He’s weird looking but but ‘that’ weird. 😂

although...it does look a lot colder in NY than the other places so things may change if the weather heats up in NY.... but for the meantime, I hope the folks there keep following the rules for now and reduce the death rate...

The past several days have been unseasonably warm in Los Angeles, well over 90 degrees yesterday in my area. As is typical for Southern California weather, beaches run 10-20 degrees cooler than inland areas.

I'm not excusing the crowds, merely explaining them.

There's no way I'd go to the beach or any crowded area right now, but that appears to not be true for everyone.

Guess we'll see how all these voluntary canaries in the coal mines are feeling in a week or two.
 
I love the sun...I really adore it, I get it that people want to go to the beach, I'd love to drive down to the beach but to risk not only your own life but others on any crowded area, is just absolute lunacy...


I read something today which reminded me of The Day Of The Triffids, in which everyone is captivated by an amazing, spectacular meteor shower – and all those who watch it late into the night, oohing and aahing with delight, wake up the next morning permanently blind. :cry:
 
A quote from this morning's Washington Post says it well:

Coroner Michael Fowler of Dougherty County, Ga., sees people out running errands, rushing back into their lives as Georgia tries to reopen. “Sometimes, I think about stopping and showing them one of the empty body bags I have in the trunk. ‘You might end up here. Is that worth it for a haircut or a hamburger?’

Who's arguing? You need to calm down, the stress is getting to you.
