I get it mate. I don't think you have to, to appreciate what the docs and nurses are doing. It should always be about wanting to, not feeling like you have to. I might do next week, might not, might even forget. Don't mean nowt.
We do it every week. I find it quite uplifting seeing all the neighbours, giving them a wave, sometimes having a chat. We’re all going through this mad time. Don’t think the young couple next door appreciate it as their kids are both under 2 and probably get woken up by the clapping and cheering. I don’t cheer BTW.

Yeh I kinda guessed that <laugh> Neither do I.

I like seeing the people on our road. I actually know what half the folk around us look like now. The ppl next door on our right never come out but it's cool, their choice I guess. They're a nice enough family whenever I've spoken to them.
 
Firstly, the only way of finding out if you’ve had the virus, is by testing to see if you’ve got the antibodies in your system that see off CV-19. That antibody test doesn’t yet exist (the Govt bought 18m of them, but they errrrmmm, don’t work) Once a reliable test is produced then mass testing across the population would be a game changer.

For anyone who hasn’t had it, and is vulnerable, then the risk of infection and it’s outcome, remains the same. This only dramatically changes when there’s either a vaccine, or when the majority of the population have already had it, and so it’s means of transferring across the population becomes much less.
I saw a report that implied that the generation who had the BCG vaccination at school had a stronger antibody resistance to flu type viruses
I have never had the flu virus nor has my wife and we both had the BCG vaccination during the 50s and 60s
There is no proof bu the majority of deaths appear to be in the generation before the vaccinations and the generation after they were stopped
For the younger ones on here the BCG was a vaccination you had around 11 yrs old to prevent tuberculosis

I noticed the little uns were out in force really enjoying the unusual moment when neighbours are actually coming together as one...... Sh, it like that stick around my neck of the woods and in stills a feeling of together stronger from a young age, twas the miners strike that made me aware even when you're on your fking knees people generosity and caring nature comes through and gives you faith alls not yet lost with humanity.

The BCG vaccination only lasts for around 15 years mate.

Good shout. BCG is very effective in being used as a carrier for other medications given in hospitals as well as in cancer treatments iirc.

In SA they’re saying that could be the reason why the death toll is surprisingly low.

BCG is still a thing... or it was when I was at school. You had a test which was five needles in one and then the actual bcg as long as you didn’t react to the test
