They are blaming OUR DOGS for COVID - 19 NOW - Update 2 - Health

Daily Mail: Reports " Stray dogs may be the 'intermediary animal' that spread coronavirus from bats to humans rather than pangolins, study finds "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has great respect for the boffins out there, but I draw the line when boffins start to say that Dogs are to blame for COVID - 19, dogs are the best friend a man can have, always listens, always wants attention, and can be a good guard dog for you ( None of my dogs were any good at being a guard dog, they just liked affection to much ).   It can be argued that China gives dogs a rough time, they even EAT dogs in China, slaughter them in the marketplace, a total disgrace, if China looked after its dogs, then the Gods of Karma would treat China well, if you mistreat a dog, or blame a dog for a bat problem, then you lose me, a puppy is the best thing in life. 

Data from COVID - 19 - Update 1 - Health

Sky News: Reports " Another 778 deaths in UK hospitals takes total past 12,000....Figures from the Office for National Statistics suggest the true death toll is higher, with many dying in care homes and hospices.  "

Lets Get Real:

Every day at 2pm we get the grim news with the latest death totals from the different nations of the UK, it is so depressing, every figure is a person who is lost their partners and family.  It is like reading the death notices in the Times during World War One.  When COVID - 19 comes to an end or the death rates are in single figures the UK Government will need to investigate why the UK was not ready for the virus and what it is doing to fight the next virus, it might be next week or in a 100 years time.  The UK took its eye off the ball with COVID - 19, WHO were slow to see the problem, one gets the impression that the WHO did not want to annoy CHINA, it has annoyed Trump and is stopping monies support from the US to WHO.  This should never happen again!!

The ECONOMIC COST of COVID - 19 - Update 1 - Economy

BBC News: Reports " Chancellor Sunak warns of 'tough times' for UK economy  "

Lets Get Real:

At some point when PM Boris has recovered the Cabinet and himself will have to decide when to open the UK again for business.   The depression could be the worse in three hundred years, but that depends on many facts, if the closedown is short, the the UK can recover, if it is longer, then it could be worse.  The Government should plan to open the UK on May 2nd, after the bank holiday.   Also the Government should start to make its mind up on if it wants to extend the EU transition or go for broke at the start of the year.  The UK will bounce back, it always does.   At least the Government has five years to fix the economy and no one can blame them, it came from China and was around the World is a few days.
