I've actually seen some kids playing on the street during this time. Also a lot of people sitting out on their doorsteps or front gardens. I hope the experience might provide some momentum for support for street calming measures post crisis. I'm going off topic though.
That would risk a “disaster”, he says.
An urgent alert issued to doctors has raised concerns that a serious coronavirus-related syndrome may be emerging in children in the UK.
The alert states that in the past three weeks there has been a rise in children being hospitalised with a syndrome that has the characteristics of serious Covid-19, according to the Health Service Journal. Children have so far been deemed to be at low risk of serious ill health from the virus.
The alert states:
“[In the] last three weeks, there has been an apparent rise in the number of children of all ages presenting with a multisystem inflammatory state requiring intensive care across London and also in other regions of the UK.
“There is a growing concern that a [covid-19] related inflammatory syndrome is emerging in children in the UK, or that there may be another, as yet unidentified, infectious pathogen associated with these cases.”
There is little information about how widespread the condition is but the number of children affected is likely to be small, the HSJ reported. Some of the children have tested positive for covid-19, and some appear to have previously had the virus, it added.
The alert, first issued to GPs in north London, also describes the cases as showing features of toxic shock syndrome and Kawasaki disease, which causes blood vessels to become inflamed. It advised doctors to “refer children presenting with these symptoms as a matter of urgency.”

this was about ten in the space of half an hour - of course not near the usual density but it felt like it for the first time since this started
Definitely not!
But you would think something similar might have been identified by now in other countries as well, wouldn't you?
Maybe it has ....

Maybe. I don't care. This is not about him.
You won't ever see contrition. It's not possible, because contrition involves admitting he's caused the needless deaths of tens of thousands of people.
I wondered about that. Have they been using the approach from the west in recent weeks due to wind direction or is it related to the reduced traffic?
It will be wind direction. They try to land and take off into the wind. We've had an easterly right through this hot spell, which is not the prevailing wind, so it's not a surprise that it's felt different. Weather changed last night.
Maybe. I have experience of being very ill in hospital and people dying around me - dying right next to me, in fact. My experience of that was that I was so ill that I had pretty much no brain space to think about anything other than myself. Reflect on it later, yes, but as it's happening, it's mostly a case of 'Nurse! Me please.' Johnson doesn't strike me as the reflective type, but maybe.

if he wasn't sick there would have been zero difference in the way the government has handled the pandemic over the past weeks, if anything I fear it's straight back to even worse austerity as soon as the lockdown is lifted
And... I saw first hand how marvellous the NHS is. The idea that it is in crisis is a despicable lie.
I couldn’t agree with you more.
Not sure what reason we would have to think he would do anything other than use this to push his agenda to continue to fuck the NHS. It's what Cameron did with his sick son.
