Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

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?

there was an article about that the other day.

nobody knows.


the theory that they were putting forward was that other viruses may have passed through some of the shanty towns previously that were similar enough to grant a level of resistance to the new one.

Re: Coronavirus update

PharmaTimes today...

" French clinical diagnostics company Novacyt has inked a deal with the UK DHSC for instruments and Covid-19 testing kits. The supply contract includes Novacyt's Q16 and Q32 Rapid PCR instrument platforms, as well as its Exsig Covid-19 direct kits and genesis SARS-Covid Winterplex kits"...so there

I think the only person I've hear say "so there" nowadays is my 7 year old niece

Seems like good news about the tests though

not good news at all. 71 deaths aswell.
collectively the country has got to start taking it much more seriously then recent months or it'll go on right through until spring at this rate.

Re: Coronavirus update

Meanwhile over on Twitter, "Magna Carta" is trending as Zoe from Ipswich demands a lawful uprising based on Article 61, only to be told by Steve from Birkenhead that she's an idiot because the power given in Article 61 was taken away a year later 1216.

Both Zoe and Steve heard of Magna Carta 20 minutes ago.

The world has absolutely lost it

Re: Coronavirus update

Just 4,044 new cases today - I know they're weekend figures, but that's a big drop from the norm of the last week or so.

Oh well, a record 7,100 plus new cases today and seventy one deaths - presumably there's a degree of catching up from the weekend in those figures.

I'm sure that's right but the trend is worrying. Boris and Professors Doom and Gloom (as one newspaper called Whitty and Valance) are to give a press conference tomorrow.

I'm betting my house Zoe voted for Brexit and if she lived in the USA she'd be a Trump voter.

And of course Boris will intercept any interesting questions posed to D&G
