    I think they're trying to do the best with what they've got.

    My missus said the same thing regarding the antibody test. The normal ( or whatever the terminology is for it ) test is pointless for her as she works in the NHS.

    I thought that was down to the fact that they record deaths differently there? I thought it was you that mentioned it, or at least someone did.

    Yeah, I’m loosing track of my own brain. And the beer hasn’t even been delivered yet.

    Actually not sure that was me. The scientist in the thing Woody posted and I looked at seriously claimed that too many deaths were recorded as COVID 19 there.

    I am terminally confused.

    That’s because the Germans as a people accept and understand orders and discipline, so when told to stay in, they stayed in, unlike the non essential fuktards running around the U.K. doing as they please.

    The advice here is stay at home
    Walk the dog locally
    One person from your family only to do the shopping
    Exercise in your LOCAL area

    The health minister has just been told off for driving miles from home because he wanted to go mountain bikeing on an easy track

    Do as I say not as I do

    He made some pretty bold statements. I wanted to check out who he is, is he credible, but it’s gone now.

    Why would his video be taken down? There are millions of videos with challenging and contrary views all over the internet.

    Where did you hear about him/his video?

    I think this is a key part of what’s going on, how deaths are being recorded.

    When this thing started I was confident that it was too much fuss about not that much. Then the horror propaganda kicked in and I began to think that I'd got it wrong. I now I think I was right in the first place.

    Image captionDavid Tillyer said acts of kindness towards NHS staff made them feel appreciated
    A "humbled and emotional" paramedic has thanked a stranger who paid for his shopping and customers who applauded him at a supermarket.

    People queuing outside Lidl in Cromer, Norfolk, made way for David Tillyer - who had just finished a night shift - "with applause and thank-yous".

    He said a woman who "ran up and swiped her card" as he went to pay told him: "Not much you can do to stop me".

    His thank-you on Facebook has been shared 78,000 times.

    "I am humbled and a bit emotional," wrote Mr Tillyer, who works for the East of England Ambulance Service (EEAS)

    "Thank you to the lady that did that and thank you to all the shoppers that made me feel special after a tough run of shifts #NHSandProud #stayhome #covidkindness."

    Speaking to the BBC, he said he had just finished a 12-hour shift and was about to join the end of the queue waiting for Lidl to open when the young couple in front of him let him go ahead.

    "About two-thirds of the way through the queue someone said 'let's give him a round of applause', and people started clapping and saying thank you.

    "It was really heart-warming to know that people out there really respect what we do and are grateful to everyone on the frontline of the NHS for what we're doing at the moment."

    He praised the "amazing, kind gesture" from the woman who ran to the till to pay for his shopping.

    Nothing really, just what I see and hear. It seems to me to be a collective madness.

    We haven’t got the evidence mate - if we could trust any of the numbers and if the science wasn’t being all sciencey...testing hypotheses, learning from unusual and unexpected results, changing the experiments, doing different statistical analyses which give contradictory results, thinking that the experiments themselves were designed poorly and need to be done again etc etc which is all actually good science but ****ing useless when it is used to make short term policy.....we might have a better chance.

    The advice over here is:
    Exercise in your local supermarket
    You cant work but you can work
    Essential travel only to non essential places
    Walk your dog as far away from home as possible
    Keep at least 2 metres apart except when you are within 2 metres
    Clap every night at 8PM

    Above all else, Stay At Home
