He's 71 - not a good age for this virus.
He may not end up being your King.
It starts out mild then gets worse.
It's only mild for him now.

Poor Charlie. He'll have the best of care. Hope he doesn't give it to Liz.

He was with the Queen on the 12th of March.

That's over 2 weeks ago and if they have any sense they would have had her in isolation.

Looks like we are going to trickle into stage 3. I would have preferred them to go in hard and fast for a couple of weeks instead of this trickle on where more and more people are being infected. But I'm no expert *shrug*

Sounds more like Brian found an opinion piece (everyone has one) from the Guardian

You didn't even read it, did you, Black Orchid? Bloody typical. Can't question Trump, oh, no, he's the savior!

Well that would make you wrong yet again, Brian, and stop being so dramatic!

I read part of it. Trump wants to purchase surplus medical supplies from South Korea as they seem to be flattening the curve there.

My immediate reaction was "So what?". I don't see any problem with that. Again I say "So what?"

What it reveals, despite his rhetoric to the contray, is that the US is unprepared to fight this pandemic, Black Orchid. It is obvious even to Blind Freddy, Trump is as usual, bullshitting when he suggests otherwise.

They need more ventilators, Brian. We ALL do! There are 50 states in the US and the worst hit states are all run by DEMOCRATS. Take New York, for instance, Cuomo was supposed to buy 16,000 extra ventilators in 2015 but instead he rationed the ones they had and spent $750 million on a boondoggle "Buffalo Billion" solar panel factory instead. He got his priorities all wrong and that had nothing to do with Trump. Now Trump is trying to fix the mistakes of these loony moonbat leftists.

I probably defend some of Trump's moves more than I would normally because you leftards are so hateful that you blame him if you stub your toes. Whingeing moaning bunch of finger pointers who take no responsibility for their own.

Stop being a numpty and get your facts straight for once.

EDIT: Cuomo knew of the shortage, had the money to buy them and should have bought the life saving equipment. Now he is in a huge pickle and Trump is trying to bail him out by trying to get more ventilators. I see that as a good thing so I have no idea where your head is. No doubt up your ........

[billy the kid]

I noticed on the news tonight that the USA could become the worlds epicentre of the virus.....who woulda thought....
And Trump wants the joint back up and running by Easter...
Trump has foot in mouth disease...he speaks without thinking...he is often corrected by his minders...
He may have won the election..he may be the President..but he often dribbles shit...…
I am not a lefty...I detest the Democrats...but sometimes Trump just comes across as a jibberer......

[Black Orchid]

He does often come across as a jabberer and he's definitely not the best speaker but all the info and clips I have seen has his experts saying that he listens to them, follows their advice and data and takes heed.

Pelosi shockingly has been holding up the Relief Bill because she wanted to hide a zillion little wish list things in it to please her sycophant little socialist/Marxist followers. She doesn't give a damn about getting payment out to the people or trying to save jobs and businesses. What does ANY of this have to do with a RELIEF package for the people because of CV? ...

They also want it to provide funding for Planned Parenthood. They are insane!

But the moonbats always ignore this greed and idiocy because they suffer from acute cases of TDS. It's a disease.

CHINA RAIDED OUR SUPPLIES


Chinese-backed company's mission to source Australian medical supplies

As the coronavirus took hold in Wuhan earlier this year, staff from the Chinese government-backed global property giant Greenland Group were instructed to put their normal work on hold and source bulk supplies of essential medical items to ship back to China.

A whistleblower from the company has told the Herald it was a worldwide Greenland effort - and the Sydney office was no different, sourcing bulk supplies of surgical masks, thermometers, antibacterial wipes, hand sanitisers, gloves and Panadol for shipping.

The company even posted its efforts of packing pallets in the company’s Sydney headquarters on social media.

"Basically all employees, the majority of whom are Chinese, were asked to source whatever medical supplies they could," one company insider told the Herald. This exercise went on for weeks through January and February, he said.


The entire accounts department, contract managers, the human resources team and even receptionists were sent on a mission to find bulk supplies of surgical masks, thermometers, antibacterial wipes, hand sanitisers, gloves and Panadol.

"There were numerous requests from the HR manager and even our direct reporting line [which] prioritised the assisting of the company in gathering these supplies over other work activities," said the source. The entire accounts department were absent for days as they were out purchasing supplies, he said.

In a statement to the Herald, the Greenland Group confirmed the shipment of medical supplies in January and February saying it "felt compelled ... to assist in efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus, which had caused a shortage of crucial medical supplies in China."

Greenland Australia supported the group's initiative "by arranging for medical supplies to be dispatched to China, which at that time, was the epicentre of the outbreak," the statement said.
