    The fact of the matter is that the fact of the matter is always the fact of the matter even when it's not the fact of the matter. We couldn't be more clear. Hope that answers your question.

    The fact of the matter is you're definitely staying alert Bob, which is the only fact that matters...<laugh>

    But the big question is, does it really matter that the fact of the matter is only the fact when or if it’s not the fact of the matter !!!

    interesting, cummings spotted visiting his parents miles away when he has coronavirus symptoms.

    who cares, no one else is about the lockdown so might as well have everyone go and do what they want nowadays

    Do you peel the carrot first
    If you can only find baby carrots do you go to the hospital for someone to help with the insertion
    Can you use tinned carrots
    How about frozen
    Derek hasn't given us enough information

    Considering the enormous bus they threw Neil Ferguson under under normal circumstances he’d resign. Obviously he won’t and he’ll be found to have done nothing wrong and if that seems odd it’s because you don’t understand political language.

    The responses defending Cummings are staggering. Sophisticated electorate.

    Probably the same people that wanted Ferguson hanged from the nearest bridge for visiting his mistress, or the Scottish CMO for going to her second home

    Nothing surprises me anymore regarding the virus and our handling of it. It's been a shambles from day one and it continues to be so.

    I'm not sure if either of those 2 even had the virus? Cummings the super spreader!

    Someone should really let the staff at the petrol stations they stopped off at know. And their parents.

    Dominic Cummings’ partner said in print: SHE was mildly ill & he rushed to their LONDON HOME to care for her. The next day he collapsed & lay ‘doggo’ for 10 days, unable to get out of bed. She seems to have missed the bit where he ACTUALLY DROVE 270 MILES TO STAY AT HIS PARENTS’

    Everybody can go see your parents or grandparents. If you get stopped, just say you've got coronavirus. That's your pass.

    Seems that we now have, or will soon have, two reliable antibody tests, one from Roche and one from Abbott. Both proper companies with a lot to lose if they sell faulty crap. They both seem very accurate in identifying positive results ie very few ‘false positives’, saying you have antibodies when you don’t. Slightly less accurate but still very good on false negatives (saying you don’t have antibodies when you do).

    Well good. The interesting thing is what will we do with these tests? Who are they for? How will their use be targetted? Will individuals be allowed to buy them?

    There is no evidence that having antibodies gives you protection against reinfection, but I’m pretty sure it would give me a sense of possibly false security if I had a positive test. It might change peoples’ behaviour, when the safest thing for us to do with people outside our household is to assume that both we and they have the virus, people might think ‘hey, I can’t get this or give it, so social distancing no longer applies’. How do you prove you have had a positive test? An easily forged certificate, or some kind of electronic badge (smartphone users only, obviously)?

    We need a very clear strategy for these tests, and that needs to be shared very explicitly. These cannot be seen as a get out of jail free card for individuals, but must be part of a collective community based approach to managing social distancing restrictions. Fat ****ing chance with this mob in charge. They’ve only had three months to think it through, they must have started when they thought they were getting 3.5m in early April, the ones Johnson promised which didn’t work. Nah, they’ve put no thought into it at all, just like everything else.
