Cable Forum - Coronavirus

Anti-vaccine (or pro-disease if you prefer) protestors are trying to storm the BBC today - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...London-HQ.html

Small problem, the BBC moved out years ago. For people so keen on 'doing their research', maybe they should have done some research :D

But their mate on the internet told them, so it must be true... ;)

Re: Coronavirus

When the lead presenter of GB News and editor of the Spectator calls you out, you know you might be on the wrong path here;

Quote:

Anti-vaxxers protest BBC coverage of pandemic by storming a building in White City. A building the BBC vacated in 2013 and is now luxury flats. Is there a link between stupidity and anti-vax? Opinions vary but evidence is growing …

Might be an interesting conversation with Neil Oliver when and if he returns to work back at GB News.

Albeit lead presenter for one week. The pandemic will be all but over before Neil returns to GB News or advises he's not returning.

Oh dear oh dear. Another goalpost shift for the worlds greatest vaccination programme.

Be interesting to see if the rest of the world follow or whether their vaccination strategies are on a more sustainable footing going forward.

However congratulations that you’ve finally found a single activity to do post July 19 that you couldn’t do before.

So wanting to get on with life is borderline anti-vax?

It really is a warped view of the world you hold. I know you like living in a quasi-totalitarian state, where the government tells you when and how to wipe your backside and pays you to watch Judge Judy all day, but it's not for me, if that makes me borderline anti-vax - glad to be it.

Nice selective quote without context.

I’m not quite sure the furlough scheme and other schemes to support business or jobs really fit the description you offer, but at least it demonstrates the contempt you hold the furloughed workforce in.

20 times?

Quote:

On average, British travellers have to fork out £92 per test.

Quote:

The £400 PCR test listed on the UK Government's approved list of providers is offered by ROC Health Services, which is located just around the corner of London's Harley Street.
But there are several factors that could be behind the sky-high price, including the fact it is based in central London.
The Department of Health also says the tests — which can be performed in a matter of minutes — are supervised by medical staff on site, meaning the firm may factor in some labour costs.

That have to recoup the capital investment costs as well as the operational costs. Who knows the total timeframe in which they to recoup the capital costs, including making people redundant when it all dies down.

Quote:

Shortages in swabs and vials because of the global demand for tests may have also driven up the price of kits

Quote:

But a listed price of around £45 per kit would represent a mark up of nearly 10 times the costs of the entire testing process — including distribution and actual laboratory testing — if they are as low as suggested by the prices in Delhi.

Not sure comparing costs to those in India is remotely valid.:rolleyes:
