Off Topic SARS-CoV-2 Covid-19

Yeah, when I was driving to work in Brid at the start of the lockdown, there was hardly anything on the roads. Very different now. And yet stats yesterday at the briefing suggested just a 2% rise

 

I've noticed a lot more than 2% this week.
Nearer 50%

 

Set up by the Government to get supplies to the NHS
Owned by the Government
Trying to achieve an aim the Government want to achieve
Run by a team of non NHS staff on behalf of the Government
Managed by someone that reports to the Government and was appointed by the Government.

I’m not reading too much into anything

You’ve described it clearly

Pretty tricky to read it and come up with the conclusion in the photo that Cave posted that the problem in getting supplies to the NHS is down to “lazy arse NHS managers” though

 

Huh?
You’re saying it was set up and run by the Govt to do better than the NHS would.
You can’t say that but then if it doesn’t work blame ‘lazy arse NHS managers’ (which was what the thing I challenged said)
That would be like giving it all back for the NHS to run, then if it didn’t work blaming the Government

it wouldn’t make any sense.

What’s your point?

 

Game changing immunity test by June...

The problem being the WHO are unsure if antibodies mean immunity.

 

Ive got wood

 

Roads are miles busier. The lady in the local shop was saying how much busier it’s been recently I said I’d probably seen more cars on the 5 minute walk to the shop at 3pm on Friday than I did in the 10 miles journey to/from work at rush hour in the first week of lockdown.

I live on a main road traffic levels just seem like normal.

Also many more groups of cyclists and groups of people going shopping together (I’m guilty of that once, I stopped there quickly whilst taking my daughter out on her bike).

 

Correct

There's a joke in there somewhere, about dodgy sites and viruses.

Like the one saying Trump is being investigated for Domestos abuse.

 

WHO produced no evidence that people with antibodies in their blood were re-infected with Covid, jury still out.
At some point, we have to stop hiding, before economy collapses
Tricky decisions ahead

Indeed
I wonder, with no scientific basis whatsoever, whether in actual fact it will be more likely to get a treatment than a vaccine?
Not all viruses have a vaccine. HIV for example doesn’t. All we’ve really managed is getting a way of treating it so you’re less likely to die of it, while trying to limit spread (admittedly easier with HIV than Covid-19)

 

Two weeks quarantine for those arriving in the UK....

 

News or a suggestion?

 

I’ve been going out in the car every hour just to see how many idiots are out there in their cars
Some people

 

Officials are said to be working on the plan similar to one being operated in Singapore for the passengers arriving at UK sea and airports.
