Errr, no.

 

Some really good news.

British scientists are trialling a new drug that could prevent someone who has been exposed to coronavirus from going on to develop the disease Covid-19, which experts say could save many lives.

The antibody therapy would confer instant immunity against the disease and could be given as an emergency treatment to hospital inpatients and care home residents to help contain outbreaks.

People living in households where someone has caught Covid could be injected with the drug to ensure they do not become infected too. It could also be given to university students, among whom the virus has spread rapidly because they live, study and socialise together.

The drug has been developed by UCLH and AstraZeneca, the pharmaceutical company that has also, along with Oxford University, created a vaccine that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is expected to approve for use in Britain next week.

Some perhaps not so good news, but it should result in a drop in 'cases'.

 

Dropped 5 more places. Increasing but many places increasing much more than we are.

 

Come on Huullll

 

10,000 truck and van drivers tested at Dover only 24 positive, is that the normal rate?

 

Despite the lack of SD ? Thats incredible

 

Same rate as Rotherham then.

 

Well assuming they’re using the lateral flow tests, like they have been in Universities then actually that is a high rate
They tested over 7000 in Birmingham and only 2 tested positive.
Not as sensitive as the PCR tests done at Humber Bridge

Oops - reply is in the next post. More indications of my incompetent posting.

 

The Birmingham University checks revealed 2 cases out of 7000 tests - double checking with PCR revealed a further 60 cases that had been missed.
The rate detected at Manston (24 positives from 10000 tests apparently) is suspiciously low - the current prevalence levels would predict around 100 positive tests. Worrying!

 

Even though most of these blokes will hardly have been out of their cabs? Unless they've picked it up while they've been milling around at Manston...

 

I would guess it's how far the sticks are stuck up your nose

 

Yeah I think that’s what I was trying to say really.
24 seems low, but if you assume it was the same tests, administered in the same way, and therefore the same hit rate as Birmingham...then the Manston tests suggest really high levels (because there would be a further 720 missed if the assumptions were correct)

 

They say Chazz has had it.

 

I had been informed of that but was under strict instruction to keep Mum!!! Cats out the bag now.
