Cable Forum - Coronavirus

The actual report can be found here and it appears to contain whole a shed load of information to keep all those who enjoy nitpicking through any links posted.

However I decided I have better, and less brain numbing, things to do on such a lovely day than do more that speed read it. :D

Over to someone who enjoys ploughing through government articles.

That should keep jfman happy for a while.

If I turn the brightness right up I can read it while having a beer in the garden on this fine bank holiday ;)

Hardly - he’ll have seen my opinion and would take that into account on any contribution he might make.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced a new naming system for variants of Covid-19.

From now on the WHO will use Greek letters to refer to variants first detected in countries like the UK, South Africa and India.

The UK variant for instance is labelled as Alpha, the South African Beta, and the Indian as Delta.

I would have thought China woud be Alpha, but the WHO doesn't like upsetting the CCP.

Nooooooo....we can’t remove all restrictions and open up on June 21st, that would go against whatever expert Sky news has rolled out today.

I was thinking more like,

Quote:

Professor Ravi Gupta, a member of the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group

He was the latest, also

Quote:

Professor Adam Finn, a member of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI),

And

Quote:

Professor Devi Sridhar, chair of global public health at Edinburgh University

That’s just a few quoted in a few articles today, and I’m sure there’s probably more, that’s just one day, and they wheel out any available science hack every day with their opinion on what the Gov should or shouldn’t do, and I’m very bored of it.

The good news is decision-making isn't being led by what does (or doesn't) bore Pierre.

While 0 Covid deaths is obviously welcome that doesn't equate to being able to lift all restrictions imminently given the proportion of unvaccinated people and lower efficacy of the vaccines now compared to when the road map was published.

I'm bored of Covid deniers like Toby Young, Isabel Oakeshott and Hartley-Brewer being given airtime so I think we can confidently say the UK airwaves are tediously balanced.
