Thread Name: BS: New news on the pandemic COVID-19
Subject: RE: BS: New news on the pandemic
I live in fear of hearing that Abidjan cases escalate. Most of the people there are poor, ill-nourished and living in very close proximity, several to a room etc. They are all on curfew, but can go out during the day and mix freely, which seems mad to me. Also, medical care is practically unobtainable there.
I see that most of the major supermarkets are now allowing only one person to each trolley (no couples) so I'll have to stay in the car while husband does the actual shopping armed with a list.
I hope Boris Johnson pulls through. (and indeed anyone in an ICU) I read today that two-thirds of those put on a ventilator will die from the virus. Luckily my sister is off hers now and on a drip instead.
