On the BBC website today they said that 0 CV-related deaths have been recorded in Wales for the first time since March.

And this is despite the fact that Merthyr Tydfil was designated a CV hotspot last week.

Also, I don't think society in general took anxiety as seriously back in 1986 as now.

It didn't. Much more in the realms of "pull yourself together!" back then.

352 confirmed cases today.

I know we're still nowhere near out of the woods as yet and of course we still have to wait and see how things pan out over the coming weeks following Saturday's lockdown easements.

But nevertheless, the lowest daily figure in the UK since 16th March, whereas last Monday's daily count was 815, and a fortnight ago it was still stubbornly hovering above 1k.

Yeah, we just had the highest daily figure....in Texas, I believe :/

Well, in the light of videos published elsewhere on this sub-forum, here's a reality check for balance: one that is possibly peak Florida and sadly with a tragic outcome.

This fake news site is politicizing her death to score political points against Trump. She was suffering from cancer, autoimmune disorder and other health issues since the age of 2. The whole article is based on a fake Facebook post which has now been removed.

The statement went on to say that Carsyn "fought health challenges from the age of 2," including cancer and a rare autoimmune disorder, which required her to endure years of treatment and doctor visits.

Well if that girl had health problems since the age of 2, she really shouldn't have been out with more protections.

Have you jumped on in the Trump bandwagon, Hollow?

No, this story just reads like fake news and hasn't been reported by any major news outlets. Also, this website is the left wing version of Breitbart or Drudge report so it's obviously biased.

Very sad that a young girl who has already had so many serious health problems to contend with in her short life should die like this. Even worse when the circumstances of her death become politicised on social media..to be poured over by the masses who are using her to points score. Whatever happened to privacy?
