Re: Coronavirus

Also worth noting that medical grade masks - the blue ones you see blowing around the streets, are designed to stop the wearer getting other people's bodily fluids into their nose and mouth, not as a barrier from aerosol droplets. Well,yes - but they're also meant to (at least partially) block said...

Re: Coronavirus

This is going to be big news. I don't see why - some GP's already did similar to people with severe,life-threatening conditions (like cancer) and to care homes last year . I awouldn't be surprised if the DNR's for autistic patients happened last year too,but the story is just breaking now. The head...

Leaving aside whether it is advisable or not -
I think it is not affordable,and it is in no way practical (imo).

I realise that.
They are a media outlet.
Virologists and epidemiologists prefer "contract" because "wane" implies some kind of failure.
Do you not think "wane" is misleading?

Re: Coronavirus

I'm hearing an awful lot of stories like that very recently. I'm wondering if these LFT's are a lot less accurate than they've led us to believe. Given the soaring infection rate - I'm not surprised. https://covidaidcharity.org/advice-and-information/covid-tests-positive-lateral-flow-negative-pcr &...

No need to be sarki Alf. Israel are now on there 4th Jab in 12 months. If the vaccine wanes after 10 weeks then it's a vaccine roughly every 3 months isnt it? "Wane" is a misleading word - the antibodies contract over time,always,and if they didn't then - as new antibodies are produced ag...

Re: Coronavirus

Do lockdowns stop infections, yes they do, but only for a period of time. As soon as you open up it kicks off again. So where are we headed? March 2020? I agree. If that is the case then,by that time,the effectiveness of the booster jabs (in preventing infection) will have started to lessen and so ...

Re: Coronavirus

No worries. That would be all variants across England. All we know from previous waves and comparing confirmed cases with data from trackers and random probability samples, is that you can take the "cases" and times them by about 4 and you would be close to the true population value. Give...

I doubt they need telling - I certainly don't.

But do you think that the majority will avoid family gatherings over Xmas,especially if they haven't seen their grandchildren for yonks? Personally,I doubt it.

Re: Coronavirus

Not sure which it is yet. Dress code is formal so it doesn't meet the Raab Rules laid out this morning but Govey has said he's bringing balloons and poppers...... Mask-wearing is to be strictly enforced. For those who turn up without one,Rees-Mogg's the footman will have a supply handy: https://c8....

You do realise Delta is still around?

You stick someone who may have Delta (since you're not testing anyone) in any old ward.
What could possibly go wrong? :clap:

Re: Coronavirus

We're past that mark. You're looking at around half million a day at the moment. Two facts of stats here: (1) "cases" always, without a doubt, consistently underestimate "infection rate". Cases is a stupid statistic and is always going to be lower than the true population value ...

Re: Coronavirus

I’ve already said that. I’m glad we agree on that though as some in here seem to think the government / Sage, etc actually “want” a lockdown. But there’s a huge difference between wanting a lock-down and thinking one is necessary or may become necessary. :newthumb: They can't base their findings on...

One of the problems with the undermining of experts these last few years is that it makes Joe Public think they know as much as the real experts. And they don't. That doesn't mean the experts know everything either - his words acknowledge that. That's why he's sensible enough not to talk in absolut...
