Are the French keeping quiet about the CV strain afflicting Macron?
If it's the one discovered here there would be plenty of Ouefs sur la visage should that fact become public.

Alarming pictures from inside the country’s flagship Nightingale Hospital show it stripped bare despite soaring Covid cases.

The new strain is rampant in the capital but the coronavirus facility in East London is deserted.

Our photos show the largest of the Nightingales without staff, equipment and the 4,000 beds it has room for at the ExCeL centre.

Cases have doubled in London in a week and health bosses are being urged to open the site and start treating patients.

It is one of seven hospitals built at the start of the pandemic at a cost of £220million, but it was shut and placed on standby soon after.

The ExCeL says 90 per cent of the building has returned to how it was.

Pictures on link above.

Birmingham's NEC hospital is also empty.

All those £millions spent yet the NHS has no backup facities in the hotspots of the current flareup.

No point to them if they can't be staffed.

Re: Coronavirus

We had our team 2020 close out call today and, as it is 'the season to be jolly', we had to reflect on the non-work positives personally of the pandemic.

Here are mine;

We spent a lot more time in the garden early summer as there was nowhere else to go
Getting to know our neighbours
Exercising more (thanks Joe Wicks)
I really upped my cooking game this year. Even now I am curing some salt beef and getting ready to sous vide some duck breasts in chinese spices
Cheap steaks in the supermarket due to restaurants being closed
Really concentrating on supporting small businesses when they were open (we are now good friends with our local microbrewery)
Wearing masks on a cold day is great!
Saving a hell of a lot of money from not going out

What are your upsides?

Our household is lucky as we could work from home (never been busier to be honest) and the kids could go to school when they wanted as were are officially 'essential'. We are a lot better off than many to be honest

Re: Coronavirus

Other latest Covid Stats: Nearly 21,000 people are now in hospitals across UK, up nearly 3,000 since yesterday, with Covid-19. (Almost at same of peak of first wave).

The today’s total 744 death toll is the highest since 29th April. The second wave is on course to be worst than the first.

Re: Coronavirus

My son is isolating because his partner tested positive neither of them have left the house since, they had the shopping delivered and no one was allowed into or out of the house, earlier they ordered a takeaway and told the delivery chap to put it in the front garden, every thing was fine until 10 min later when there was a knock on the door, it was the police, someone had reported a covid breach, they asked is there a Garry here my son replied we don't know a Garry, the police said he just walked in here with some bags, my son replied we just had a takeaway delivered this is a bit malicious isn't it, the police just turned around and left.

And this is the country we now live in one where nosey curtain twitcher's report you for eating fish and chips.
