Canorovirus
Read in today's papers and online that much of the Chinese supplies received is not fit for purpose.
The Government has spent £17m on Chinese testing kits which are useless and are actively seeking their money back.
Much of the face masks are fitted with wrong or inappropriate filters.
There are now questions raised about the accuracy of the Chinese reporting of deaths and withholding information when the virus broke out.

Re: Canorovirus
Being in self isolation is like being at sea, but
without darts crib or the 'pig'. I remember some young
girls how we managed at sea I said we played snooker
how could you do that with the ship rolling?, we played with kiddies'
coloured building blocks was the reply.

Re: Canorovirus
With all due respect i think we have had enough of the Virus issues posted although a big issue i know we are now trying to steer clear of this Topic.
For that reason i am closing this Thread before it grows like the last one did
