Coronavirus

We have just gone on 4 weeks lockdown 283 confirmed cases, no deaths as yet but experts say it will get much worse before we see improvement.
Scary times so all you Wigan worlders take care and stay safe, look after one another

Stay safe. 👍

Parents have been seen lifting their children over the locked gates in Wigan Park,when will these stupid people listen ? And then I see this Bernadette they are having a party in Norley Hall I dont see what people dont get? Mothers day has been a sad day for all mums because of the isolation rules and people wanting to stay safe and yet lots of people around that dont seem to. That is until someone they know gets it xxx on Facebook
Stay in stay safe

Idiot parents doing that,, it will be um off council estates

Will do nannajacqui and you too !
Yes there are idiots and morons about which beggars belief
When challenged their reply is a numpty "Huh" !

If everyone who could,did as they are advised, it would make a huge difference,it's hard not being able to see your family,but it has to be done,and would speed things up.

The UK has recorded 43 coronavirus deaths in the past 24 hours compared to 87 on Tuesday, but new infections have increased by a record 1,452 to 9,529 as Britons continued to flout the lock down.

Twenty-eight more patients died in England, six more patients died in Scotland, five in Wales and four in Northern Ireland - bringing the total death toll to 465 in Britain.

A Doctor on TV just said, ater a question, you can't get the virus from Mosquitos, or even animals, then he realised what he said and corrected himself, "Except for the bat that started it in Wuhan".

2 prisoners have died, one a sex offender,

The under 30's seem to be the ones who are flouting the rules. Maybe they will change their minds now the virus is killing younger FIT people.

A 98 year old Veteran has beaten the virus in a week.

Hopefully lots will realize how serious this really is

The Spanish coronavirus death toll has jumped to 4,089 as the country’s hospitals struggle to cope with the pandemic.

Now this country has police on the streets and police helicopters and drones to make sure people stop at home.

God knows what will happen in this country when people are still going about as normal and telling there kids to go and play outside

Already army in Manchester on the streets

Meleager, I was toold that days ago on facebook, and it wasn't true then. There is nothing in the MEN about it.

Nasty nana trying to stir things up, at least she's not posting personal information over the site

Its true my fiance parents live in Manchester and we told there on the streets

Quite a few ex service people on the streets of Manchester and surrounding areas though, some have been re homed by various groups and some want to be left as they are. I when I can, and a few others try to get them what they need food and drink wise, the odd bit of clothing and bedding etc, it's the very least anyone can do for them. It's a sad state of affairs.

Didn't Mac use to do things like that 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Sorry, Terry. Ex veterans? You mean veterans, and I don't hate you. :)

Is Terry that nasty Mac?

Everybody has been suspected of being mac by one obsessed person

Oh shizzle! Sorry Firefox I was posting "ex service people" in my head and ballsed it.

Thanks for heads up sir. I've got a very sick family member in Preston Royal at the moment and haven't been as available as much.

Easily done. My best wishes to your loved one.

Thanks Firefox. No visitors now, phone contact only unless its very necessary to be there.

Best wishes for your relative Terry

Oh thank you NanaJ, that very nice of you. I shall pass on those wishes.

At least nasty nana is not posting personal details on the site

It's because Terry Tiny Tears 😭 posts very much like nasty Mac, well he did do when he first came on as a "newbie"

BB there as always been multi posters and banned posters on this site who have used another name. If some one is having a dig at a member then they are leaving me alone. It seems even I have members who hate me or think I post nothing but Twaddle ,do I care not in the least and let all posters print what ever they want. If it upsets anyone then use the yellow triangle and report it or wait for admin to delete it or pickford it

Good post PeterP. Admin is there to sort it if need be.

"Dave"...always made me laugh that.

Keys...brooms Nearly.

Total agree Peter, but I won't be forced to use the yellow triangle or go skrykin to admin like Terry Tiny Tears did

Prince Charles is in lockdown with Covid 19 and Prince Andrew is in lockdown with Jennifer 14

Only fools

Well in Martin.

Number of people in UK who died with coronavirus jumps by more than 100 in a day for first time. off BBC

Just had a round of applause in our street. I thought someone had set fireworks off it was that loud, we all went outside and joined in. We let some fireworks off. The Nurses were physically moved.

Brill here. Has me welling up. It's left hands a bit sore.

Fireworks let off close by, only a short burst, must have been left overs

Same here,and fireworks..like priscus my hands are stinging now.

Mine too.

Well done, everyone.

Fireworks and a very good show of people here too.

Covid-19: Two new cases confirmed in Wigan bringing the total to 16

From WT

NEC (Brum) and GMex (Manc) seems now also in the running to be converted to emergency plague hospitals. Following in line with London ExCel (Nightingale)

Percentage of confirmed cases as per local authority area population figures -

Wigan - 0.005 %

St.Helens - 0.009 %

Lancashire - 0.008 %

Bolton - 0.009 %

Warrington - 0.005 %

Getting closer. One of my neighbours was taken to hospital in the night with suspected Covid-19.
I hear he’s been put on one of the new Dyson ventilators and is now picking up nicely..

I guessing this is what kind of post builderboy was on about

Apparently, gluten allergies don't exist during food shortages.

UK's coronavirus death toll jumps by 181 to 759 in Britain's darkest day of the crisis yet - as almost 3,000 more patients are diagnosed

Very sad news coming from Italy, nearly a thousand deaths in the last 24 hours.

"Decided not to listen to government advice or 111, because sharon on Facebook who lives next street up turns out to be microbiologist, national economical expert, housing advisor, mortgage guru, GP and national pandemic specialist .... who’d have thought eh? Only last week she was a full time mummy selling tampax on Facebook! ... goes to show, never judge a book by its cover!"

Spain deaths surged by 832 in 24 hours.

BREAKING Coronavirus UK death toll soars to 1,019 as 260 die in 24 hours - Daily Star

Percentage of confirmed cases as per local authority area population figures -

City of London - 0.000 %

Considering the size of the City Of London that number comes as no surprise.

Very few people live in the CITY of London. When I lived in the City of Westminster, we used to enjoy a Sunday walk in 'The City' when, even in healthy times, it was like a ghost town.

I read that the reports from the many autopsies that have taken place that the mucous membranes had solidified,and to keep having warm drinks..any
warm drinks,no cold drinks...so all get the kettle on.

And boil that beer!

Too true.

Population of City of London = 8,750

So, less than that of Bryn, then.

Not that I know the current population of Bryn, but in any case, much less than population of Ashton.

Nowhere near!

What a time we live in. I hope you are all well it seems to get worse each day. BUT , in oZ we have only at the last count 14 deaths. Shut up the borders and closed the pubs and clubs. I would never have anticipated living in Australia and not able to go to the pub. I accept these are tough times for all. We need to beat this Chinese virus imposed on the world. Never forget who started it. Never trade with China or Chinese . They need to be punished.

"We need to beat this Chinese virus imposed on the world".

Errrrr., BRITISH Virus! Released, under license, in China?
WANG ET AL

Were do most people get their information from regarding this "pandemic"? or any other news story? the mainstream media (printed press, online, TV, radio).

The numbers of dead don't add up for a supposed virus. Most of the people ill from this, the elderly and people with pre existing health problems, exhibit flu like symptoms. On the .gov site it says:

Status of COVID-19

As of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious diseases (HCID) in the UK.

The 4 nations public health HCID group made an interim recommendation in January 2020 to classify COVID-19 as an HCID. This was based on consideration of the UK HCID criteria about the virus and the disease with information available during the early stages of the outbreak. Now that more is known about COVID-19, the public health bodies in the UK have reviewed the most up to date information about COVID-19 against the UK HCID criteria. They have determined that several features have now changed; in particular, more information is available about mortality rates (low overall), and there is now greater clinical awareness and a specific and sensitive laboratory test, the availability of which continues to increase.

The Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP) is also of the opinion that COVID-19 should no longer be classified as an HCID.

The need to have a national, coordinated response remains, but this is being met by the government’s COVID-19 response.

Cases of COVID-19 are no longer managed by HCID treatment centres only. All healthcare workers managing possible and confirmed cases should follow the updated national infection and prevention (IPC) guidance for COVID-19, which supersedes all previous IPC guidance for COVID-19. This guidance includes instructions about different personal protective equipment (PPE) ensembles that are appropriate for different clinical scenarios.

So why is everyone in lockdown when there is no threat?, why are people being threatened (which it basically is) to only go if it's absolutely necessary?. I've talked to people who have taken their dogs in the car out to the middle of nowhere with not a soul to be seen, away from harmsway, yet they have had a car police show up asking them what they are doing there. Sounds to me like don't want us to go anywhere regardless if it's to do with a virus. So much for the police serving the people.

And then there's the strange co-incidences. Lots of works of fiction eerily predicting all this:

The 1981 Dean Koontz novel, 'The Eyes of Darkness', which tells the story about a deadly virus that spreads from the city of Wuhan, China.

There's also a reference to a pandemic in a Sylvia Browne novel written in 2008.

A 2017 Asterix and Obelix children's book has a character named Coronavirus.

The 2011 film Contagion, starring Lawrence Fishburne, Jude Law and Gwenyth Paltrow, about a virus that spreads from Japan.

very good ashtonman

i'm wondering if it was out before it became official as i dont usually a bad cold or flu due to always riding in all weathers rain,hail,snow ect and when i did get it the odd time it was with hot and cold sweats id never ever had a bad cough until just before xmas last year i was coughing for about 10 days...cant wait for the tests that show if you've had it.

No, not very good at all. Downright misleading.

"Were do most people get their information from regarding this "pandemic"? or any other news story? the mainstream media (printed press, online, TV, radio)."

Do you mean where ?

Not from scare mongering rants like your post.

This is a direct lift from a government web site , BUT gives a false interpretation, which is de-bunked here:

https://www.thejournal.ie/covid-19-claims-high-consequence-disease-debunked-5058478-Mar2020/


Try reading the full story, and stop spreading false information.
You are not just a nuisance, you are an absolute menace.

Read the FULL story.

I agree, that's all it is scaremongering. Is it not hard enough that folk are being isolated from family and friends, people missing their work and our NHS people overworked more than ever?

Stop worrying people more than they need to be. Books and films!

You too make good points wigandiver. Good discussion

Not a discussion.

Refutation of a scurrilous posting.

Aye time for me to go to the land of snooze. Goodnight to you all God Bless.

I'll listen to the NHS and the government, and read my letter, thanks.

The virus cannot be passed on to, or from, animals. Yet it staretd when a chinese person ate a Bat?

A TEENAGE boy has died after falling ill with the coronavirus in Portugal.

The 14-year-old's death follows that of a 16-year-old French schoolgirl, who died at a Paris hospital this week.

That's what that bloke in the pub said. And he really knows his stuff!

The National Statistics, on the other hand, show a recorded excess death rate of over 417 per day in this December to March period 2017/2018. That means 417 per day 'over' the average of 1541 per day standard.

A summary of these figures -

“The number of excess winter deaths in England and Wales in 2017 to 2018 was the highest recorded since the winter of 1975 to 1976. However, peaks like these are not unusual – we have seen more than eight peaks during the last 40 years. It is likely that last winter’s increase was due to the predominant strain of flu, the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine and below-average winter temperatures”.


Up to now the number of UK deaths, due to Coronavirus, is around 1500. This is 13 per day.
Compare that, 13 per day, to the 2017/2018 figure of 417 per day and it fades into obscurity.

So, as Ashtonmon is, probably, suggesting, the BIG QUESTION is as follows :-

1) Why are they building morgues to house 12,000 bodies at a time? and 2) What do THEY know that they're not telling us?

What indeed.

Much more to this than meets the eye.

I agree, that's all it is scaremongering

I agree with terry. It IS scaremongering.

Why do you continually attack Terry, yet complain it's others attacking you?

Reditus. My scaremongering post was about the fictitious post by Ashtonman.

Not attacking the nasty mac, using something that he posted.....thats all.

Because he thinks Terry is mac & he used to attack mac none stop every thread,I liked mac & walshy would say things to me such as "Oh go and ask your mate mac"

I'm not Mac.

LG I like everyone on here except walshy & I don't give a flying fig what he thinks

Well she followed mac around everywhere and now she's doing the same with Terry Tiny Tears.

Don't want to say to much because, just like you, my cards been marked

Seriously, does it matter what basil thinks?

Well people know what i think about cowards who go around in a gang attacking people

Seriously, does it matter what basil thinks?

being honest terry if had to say who mac was i'd have sworn it was leccy but obviously it woud'nt have..

I have no idea.

These "newbies" have soon settled in.

Me to, LG, but not anymore, Terry Tiny Tears posts a lot like mac, being nasty and personal, being threatening when you show him up and and posting unfunny comments, goes on about the army

Keep this for future use, basil.

Do I hear backtracking now?

Oh and attacking anybody who he thought was sledge 🤔🤔🤔

Does that remind you of anyone else on here?

I'm Mac,You aint Mac,
I'm Mac,
You aint Mac.
I'm the hottest thing in town,
I'm Mac,
Yeah I'm a superstar,
I drive a supercar,
and everybody digs my personality,

Basil posts like Walshy who posted like Goose who posted like Snakeeyes etc. You NO what I am trying to say. We NEW it was the same person. Maybe SOME PEOPLE never NEW.

at 14.32 walshy said "I'm out take care of yourselves" but he's not gone anywhere he's still harping on

Popular old hector, isn't he.

I've got one of these on MY keyboard! ..... 'K'

Here comes Boredy, another one of the sheep 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑

No nasty nana, that's what you said ages ago, but your still here so you tell lies as well as being nasty

Trot along you silly old fart

I wish you would stop winding him up as you are tempting me to take him off ignore to see what tripe he is writing

It's not easy,but if no one replied to basil,he may dry up and go away.

Over 10,000 now died in Spain

I had a message, last week, off an English mate who lives over in Mora full-time. He said, "you don't want to be coming over here yet, they're dropping like flies in a hundred mile radius of here"!

A further 569 died in this country

Looking at the latest figures for Wigan, I must have been mad to move from Bryn to Brum.

Millions of PPE as been delivered around the country,

And NHS debt to government been scrapped.

Matt Hancock is writing off £13.4million of NHS debt in 'landmark step

13 billion basil

Even better, LG

the realities of triage

It's interesting that France only records deaths from cv that occur in hospital. On 2 April 884 deaths were recorded in nursing homes in France but none of those were included in the cv stats.
In North Korea one man was shot dead as being suspected as having cv. I wonder if that was included in the stats.

Almost every death is reported as Coronavirus related, it seems.
Something is wrong.
