Got a link? Wouldn't mind listening myself.

That's nothing to do with social distancing, it's standard practice after you get married.

Can you just read that back to yourself and think about what you are typing. Anyone who thinks that restricting our basic freedoms is OK needs mental help. Seriously, get help, now.

The young will always get preferential treatment over old people, that's just a fact. It's not a compassion thing, it's about preserving your tax paying workforce. We locked down initially to buy time and increase capacity, so we need to implement it, otherwise what was the point of the first lockdown. A second lockdown just means you failed, it's not a solution. We should be sending people to specialist covid treatment centres and that should have been available from the very start, not capacity over spill. Hospitals should be available for all normal care, pre pandemic. The treatment centres should have been open from patient 1 and remain open until the last patient. Make the covid centres an elite corps of the NHS with "covid pay", commensurate with the increased hazards and arduous PPE conditions. What you don't do is expect the normal doctors and nurses to bear the brunt and certainly not at the expense of other treatment. In my view we've made a terrible job of it so far.

I work overseas in oil and gas, my boss gave me the option of staying and working or going home, everyone who went home went on furlough. I got given an extra 50% for staying, so paid our house off. I was already away since January when the pandemic started, so about to go home next week and will be of till new year. However, this industry is struggling so I don't know if I'll be redundant, as lots of people have been laid off so far. Tough times and we aren't out of it yet. Done alright so far, but not counting my chickens.

False positives are caused by the cycles used in PCR testing, each cycle magnifies the virus so it can be detected, the earlier it is detected in the cycle the more infectious you are. UK is using 40+ cycles. USA also I believe. Germany is using apx 33 cycles. Anything over 30 is likely just magnifying dead fragments of virus and not someone who is infectious. So Germany only go to apx 33. To put this into perspective, if the USA used 33 cycles, something like 70% of the detected cases wouldn't be cases. The UK cycles used for PCR is coming under review. I hope that clears your question up. Have a Google to get the exact cycle numbers, bit you will find that we are being over sensitive in our testing. It's like being drunk, pulling a stunner and waking up next to a minger. The UK testing is currently drunk so the stunner detector is working overtime.

Eh? It's an economy and livelihoods of an entire population. If someone's going to make predictions that affect every aspect of our lives then they better be pretty sure about them and be put under intense scrutiny. Fergusons model has been proven to be so far out, Boris would have been better off asking Vardy.

Here's me feeling a bit down and depressed that's cheered me up no end! Thanks 😊

Will be sock technology next.

Stand back everyone, multiquote has been deployed. 🤦‍♂️

Someone just posted Carl Heneghan on sky news, maybe watch watch that and learn something. Brazil and Peru are comparable as they have similar socio-economic, climates, continent, demographics etc. If you want to compare the UK, look at Sweden and as someone else said, what's happening in Italy. Compare lockdown States in the US and see how they've fared. Where are the thousands of deaths in the UK at the moment... I'll give you a clue, it's not covid.

Deaths per million are below Spain and falling everyday. Numbers mean nothing without context and I deliberately compared Brazil with Peru as they both have poverty and poorly accessible healthcare. Christmas in Brazil will be better than the UK this year!

Yet Peru with the harshest of all lockdowns has had one of the worst deathrates. The only thing a lockdown does is delay the inevitable. People in Brazil are getting through it with next to no restrictions whatsoever, it's them that will be back to normal soonest while the rest of us are still locking-down and self destructing in multiple ways.

Where do you think you might be, in the que to get one? Let's say it passed on Wednesday, you should get your shot by what, week Thursday?

Great start, more to come I think, nice to see them still going for goal in the 90th minutes.

Hopefully they can control this now, great performance so far.

I'm more amazed at the variation in data presentation this pandemic has exposed me too. The next time I construct a PowerPoint presentation, I'm going to baffle my colleagues with so much bullshit, I might actually convince them I know what I'm talking about.

My problem is the mentality and mindframe I put myself in when I walk through the door into work, likewise when I walk into a gym I flick the bodybuilding switch and I'm committed to my workout. While at home I'm relaxing and depending on the circumstances perpetuating other frames of mind to focus my efforts, either on hobbies or family stuff. My mental attitude doesn't suit WFH because i find it difficult to focus my efforts in way that I feel productive. We are all wired differently, let's not forget.

Let's be a bit more precise. The intensively measured infections today have surpassed the poorly measured infections from March. I'm no rocket surgeon, but this is not something I'm finding to be unusual.

It's shameful how anyone could think that punishing everyone to save a few would be an acceptable solution. We could pour untold resources and efforts into protecting the vulnerable instead of making everyone suffer. Your comments completely miss the point at usual.

I was listening to Carl Heneghan on you tube talking sense to the commons committee thingy last night, just hope the government will listen to him. https://youtu.be/isWSEwpBgKY
