Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #272 – March 20, 2020, 03:29:04 pm I have just returned from the pet shop. They were out of turkey necks and meat sales were limited to two 2kg bags. The hounds might have to catch their own food if this persists.To make matters worse, the Friday Review on the wireless was interrupted by yet another long-winded speech by Scotty from marketing.

Another media disinformation/misinformation, COVID-19 is the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus, COVID-19 is not the virus but the illness caused by it! The inversion of those two labels is a major reason some are getting facts wrong.)I'm critical of the media for causing hysteria, because they aren't doing their job, much of what you see broadcast is pissweak downhill skiing that results in things like panic buying of poo tickets in a country that makes the stuff!If you want to be a journalist, your job is to filter out the bullcrap, fact check and verify everything with recognised authorities on the subject at hand. Not to propagate rumours and cause panic! Quote Selected Last Edit: March 23, 2020, 08:30:34 am by LP 1 Likes
Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #284 – March 23, 2020, 09:18:41 am If you listen to that video linked by mbb, Osterholm was saying that the hospitals in Italy have already reached the point where they have to decide who to save and who to let go. They simply cannot attend to all the cases. Quote Selected
