Brownshirt being a fascist, I presume. Am I a real fascist then? Or are you just using a lazy label because I don't agree with all your socialist vitriol?

No, but I do have a beard. Does that qualify me?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/ ... hout-gowns Supplies to run out within hours, so NHS to change advice to tell them to wear aprons when they have run out of gowns. I wonder at what point the deniers will stop embarrassing themselves, I wonder if the deniers are the same ones who were telling us early on that it was no worse than the flu and claiming that it was all media hype.

Or that those that were dying just needed a positive outlook and the British bulldog spirit to pull through like good old Boris

My cousins husband who is a 48yr old paramedic and fit as a proverbial butchers dog has been sedated, on a ventilator, upside down to get oxygen to his lungs for 95% of the time, having dyaliss and being fed through alternately a tube in his neck and hand for 11 days now.
If only he was just a "Bit more positive".

Perhaps he would be dead now if he didn't have a desire to live? I appreciate these higher level concepts are beyond your limited outlook on the human race.

Why have the NHS when they just need positive thinking classes. I suppose PPE just results in over confidence by the wearers.
We are doing our bit by self isolation to protect the NHS and lives unfortunately the government are not keeping up their end of the bargain. They have even put the supply of PPE being in control as part of the loosening of the stay at home policy. This suggests our liberties are dependent on the Government getting their house in order.

The government have supplied a billion pieces of PPE - within a month!!

Testing that has been a complete mess and the government needs to stick their hands up!!
