And once more, that was how previous pandemics were met. Those who are fearful for their health might wish to isolate themselves to whatever extent they desire. For any who have little or no support by way of friends/family/neighbours then of course the government ought to provide them with necessary resources. The plain paranoid can sit at home wearing a gas mask while washing their hands umpteen times per day for all I care and they have no business dictating to others.

    I get the impression from many hereabouts, including yourself, that the economic impact of lockdown measures will be both minor and temporary and any financial hardships they may suffer will be similarly shallow. I think you and they are in for a rude awakening.

    This is the boss of the Royal College of Nursing speaking on April 29th who caused quite a stir with her remarks.



    What, exactly, are you implying?

      This is extremely positive and exciting news. The sheer fact we are at this stage so early in the virus' evolution is incredible.

      At least five US teams have cloned antibodies to Covid-19, paving the way for cutting-edge treatments that could be what one researcher calls “an immunity bridge” before a vaccine comes along.


      The added fact is that a number of companies have independently been working on this treatment. The most optimistic estimates are that this will be available for widespread distribution in the next 3 months.
      As far as I'm aware no effective vaccine for any coronavirus has ever been developed. SARS in 2003, I recall, being a prime example.

        I think what was she implying is a trifle more important than what I implied, which was zilch.

        What do you believe she meant?

          You've still got the hump for being described as a pizza delivery driver?

            The article I posted wasn't about a vaccine.

              I believe that, under pressure of being on TV (she started off a little flustered), she used the wrong word. It is common.

              Since you are not implying anything, can you tell me what you are actually stating?

                Not at all. On the contrary, I'd only be concerned if the ccmb laughing stock was agreeing with me.

                  Here's what I wrote: This is the boss of the Royal College of Nursing speaking on April 29th who caused quite a stir with her remarks.

                  I didn't imply anything.

                    What stir did she cause then? Are there people out there who think that the Government have a top secret plan to infect 60% of the population and that the plan is so top secret that even the head of the RCN knows about it?

                      I do agree with you.

                        If the truth be known I admire you. After many years washing dishes in that KFC kitchen you aspired to better yourself and with it land a 50p per hour pay rise. That took real ambition. Bravo.

                          I think that’s very insulting.

                          I’ve seen some great tribute acts like The Bootleg Beatles and Lymehouse Lizzy.

                          Johnson’s not even a Cameron tribute act, he’s that bad.

                            This is the lamest burn I've seen in a long time.

                              The stir is where the video's hosted. It has 1.8 million views and attracted 1,800 comments.
