Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

Christ alive not another boris balls up.

But from the report I read it looks like the first 120 million tests are going to Africa south America and the southern Asia countries, and that could take 6 months, which means none will be readily available in europe before then.
Perhaps by then a different one will be developed, who knows (Or someone copy this one if it works OK) and if they don't then after that first batch they will become more widely available anyway.

If it’s going to take that long to get here anyway, maybe bo bo is right. If Oxford can develop a vaccine, I’m sure they can sort this obv simple test out also. Surely this would be good to roll out asap? I could pack my kids off to go and stay with their grandparents (which all parties are desperate for) if I could access 4 of these....

The recent comments are about the tests that give results in 30 mins, not the 10m a day 'do it yourself' moonshot idea.

Which ones? The 15/30 min result ones? That would be good but brexit will probably see that doomed

Why?

Re: Coronavirus update

Was looking at the coronavirus stats worldwide today as deaths hit a million, can anyone explain why deaths are so low in Africa? So many people, so poor, little hygiene, why not gone through the roof?

I would imagine it's because they're not really testing people (dead or alive) for it.

For no reason, just some political flapping....
