Early morning yesterday the Independent published a very detailed and disturbing article about Jon's disappearance.
In the article, the reporter claims that Jon’s family was made aware of the information, detailed in the article, by an informant. This is utterly untrue as no such information has been received by the family nor have we received any leads from an imprisoned informant.
Furthermore, our contacts at Garda and the Icelandic police have confirmed to members of the family that they haven’t received any information as described in the article nor did they communicate any such information to the reporter, Ali Bracken, or the Independent. So the story is at best based on information from an unreliable source or, at worst, completely made up.
Needless to say, the publishing of the story in the Independent and subsequently in Icelandic media has caused Jon’s family unnecessary harm. The reporter, Ali Bracken, has shown grave negligence by writing an unsubstantiated story in such a delicate case and shown complete disrespect and disregard to Jon’s family by publishing it. So has the Icelandic media that ran the story.
The family is planning on submitting a formal complaint to Ireland's National Union of Journalists for Ali Bracken's and her editor's at the
Independent.ie
breach of articles 3 and 6 of the NUJ’s Code of Conduct. We are also looking into further legal action against the Independent.
We are further planning to submit a formal complaint to the Icelandic Journalist’s Association regarding the Icelandic journalists and their editors (
Vísir.is
,
DV.is
,
mbl.is
,
RÚV
,
Stöð 2
) who published stories based on the Independent story without taking into consideration article 3 of the code of conduct by which they should abide to.
Respectfully on behalf of Jon's family,
Thorunn Jonsdottir

Really struggling at the start. Sucking in breath through the mouth. Gets it under control before the salute.
Actually looking at in again at 1.22 you can see his cheek bulge out like hes suppressing a cough.

That would be >20 times the official stats. Which might be rather comforting in a strange way, or at least that's how I read it. Most people just shrug it off."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

If there is no vaccine in the next 6 months we might be left with the decisions that are unthinkable. This is why Trump is LETHAL to those vulnerable folks out there and why he is directly responsible for past, present and future deaths. When people rejoice in his comeback like he is John Rambo they need to look themselves in the mirror and ask WTF .

The funny thing about Trump's behaviour over the last few days is it's only going to appeal to people who were already dead set on voting for him. You need to be a very special type of person to think that recovering quickly from a serious virus makes you more electable, and nobody would have thought any less of him if he had spent an appropriate amount of time recovering. But now if he ends up back in the hospital it's going to make him look even more ridiculous. So the whole thing is high-risk, low-reward.

Mind you the stats dont tell you how many people had Covid and are now left with compromised health to varying degrees
Eoghan104 and his mate the runner for example with compromised lung power. And theres that young lad on the news the other day who nearly died from it and is now in a long slow recovery period.
There seems to be a myriad of ways it can screw you up without actually doing you in completely.
As time goes on I guess we will find out more about the long term non fatal effects.

I hadnt thought too much about underlying conditions until the GP put me on Ventolin for a bit of a lung wheeze.
Even the fear of getting it can turn into a problem.

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward — reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.
