More positive news about the anti-body tests coming from Dr Fauci (the sensible one) in America. He claims this could be ready inside a week, he mentions other countries have been "badly burned" and I think he may be alluding to the UK there.

This test is going to be crucial, though. Anything that provides data is going to be essential.
IMO Dr Birx is far more plausible than Fauci, looking at your persistent grim reaper posts today revealed yourself you have!!, Fauci loves telling everyone how bad it is, although he's had to downsize his model a few times, T.B.F Dr. Birx has a bloody annoying whining voice. This is serious and a few more months to go at a guess but listening to Fauci too much, is almost as depressing as having to cope with the lock-down.Quote:

Huh? I listen to all the scientists and don't choose to believe the ones that fit in with my opinions and theories. What is it that Fauci is getting wrong?Quote:

I love his latest idea about vaccination passports, presumably for all the mandatory vaccinations we'll be getting every year if he gets his way.Quote:

Thank god I don’t live in London.Quote:

This is also a good article.

What bothered me about what Drakeford said was that he didn't agree with unlocking bit by bit, such as by region or by age. So if people start to be unlocked in the rest of UK and not in Wales he could have a very pissed off population/electorate on his hands.Quote:

No it wasn't. you posted what you did to be argumentative and contrary. You are boring!Quote:
