Continuing the rollcall of shitty companies to boycott: McDonalds' *charity* have evicted the homeless family of a disabled boy stuck in a nearby hospital over fears he may have coronavirus:

A lot of companies showing their true character in crisis, good and bad

A friend of my D-i-L back in the UK has died. 29 and was perfectly healthy.

Getting close to home, guys. Please take care.

Sorry to hear that Aud.

Interestingly, it’s been reported he had health issues, like the 21 year old girl who died too.

She told me perfect health. Are they trying to dampen down anxiety?

I’m not doubting you for one second. I’m more pointing fingers at the ‘officials’ claiming they had underlying issues. That’s twice in a few days people in their 20’s have died, both with reported health issues that have been discounted by family and friends.

Exactly - but the ‘official’ figures said differently.

Very probably. Govt are increasingly dealing with this as a war-like situation, control of information (propaganda) to placate the home front is one of the first steps you take in a war.

Very sorry to hear of this btw

I’d imagine all of the cabinet probably have it, and most of government too. They must have spent most of the last few weeks in close proximity to each other

I don't know enough to discount this view, but there is always the possibility that they uncover a previously unknown condition.  Certainly seen a difference in the UK vs USA (probably because it's private and they want their money) but people have regular check-up here, whereas people in the UK only tend to present when there is an actual problem.

Not until the interminable Labour leadership election has finally ended I wouldn't have thought. So some time around 2026

Fair point. Think "information management" is still more likely though tbh
