Quote from The Sun: A NEW “game-changing” coronavirus swab test could tell if you have the bug within 15 minutes.

Developed by British scientists, the £1.50 tests works on saliva or blood and is able to detect particles of the coronavirus.

Project leader Stephen Bustin, Professor of molecular medicine at Anglia Ruskin University, is a leading expert in quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).

He said the throat and nose swab could give a "robust and reliable" response on whether a patient has the virus.

Prof Bustin said: "The test works on nucleic acid, so any biological sample will do. SARS is usually detected in nose or throat swabs.

"So that is what we have used for its validation. But it also works with saliva samples and would work with blood - although blood is not used for Covid testing."
A simple saliva test with results in 20 minutes, cheap and (so far) is 100% reliable.

Definitely a game changer.

It sounds really good. It uses the most accurate method of testing for the presence of coronavirus, polymerase chain reaction technology.
Its test has a sensitivity of 98% (ie the ability to avoid false negatives) and a specificity of 100%( ie the ability to avoid false positives).

Study suggests few Americans have Covid-19 antibodies
Survey indicates vast majority may not have an immune response despite high infection numbers
Fewer than 10 per cent of Americans have antibodies that could protect them from developing Covid-19, according to the first nationally representative survey that shows the vast majority still have not developed an immune response to the virus.

The serological survey, published in the medical journal The Lancet on Friday, also found that black and Hispanic communities had two to four times higher rates of antibodies to Sars-Cov-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, after they were hit harder by outbreaks earlier this year.

Julie Parsonnet, a professor of medicine at Stanford University and author of the study, said vulnerable populations would need to be protected until an effective vaccine is approved...

The study, conducted in July, comes as US public health leaders are pushing back against an argument from some allies of President Donald Trump that certain communities could be near herd immunity, the point at which a virus has difficulty spreading because so many people are immune.

I know of no one in my family, friend, work or extended circle that has had it or heard of anyone who has had it, apart from those two.

Coronavirus: Third of tests in England 'not linked' to new NHS app, developers suggest

The developers of the new NHS coronavirus tracing app have suggested that more than 60,000 tests carried out in England yesterday - just under a third of the total - cannot be linked to its systems.

The admission appears to undermine the central role of the software, which is to warn people when they have come into contact with anyone who subsequently tests positive.

The long-awaited NHS coronavirus contact-tracing app launched two days ago across England and Wales.

However, in a response to a tweet by a user who said they had been tested but could not upload the result, the app's developers said it is not linked to test results processed in a Public Health England lab or NHS hospital.

"If your test took place in a Public Health England lab or NHS hospital, or as part of national surveillance testing conducted by the Office for National Statistics, test results cannot currently be linked with the app whether they're positive or negative," they wrote.

In parts of central London, many pubs haven't re-opened since March as their customers are all working from home.

Unfortunately, closing the pubs and restaurants in London at 10pm compresses all those who would normally have left at 10pm, 11pm and midnight onto the same trains and buses, so social distancing becomes weakened.

Ev3n at the height of the pandemic everyone that needed a bed had one, everyone that needed a ventilator had one.

Unless hospital admissions look like they’re heading to those levels There should not be extra restrictions ( I hate the term lockdown, as we’re not in lockdown in any way).

I think there was a strong suspicion that it might but also concerns over if the data really told that story. People with vitamin D deficiencies were doing worse than those without but those with vitamin D deficiencies are also people who may not go out such as the elderly who were already susceptible to COVID. So it was a correlation does not imply causation thing. Remember at the start of this there was also the suspicion that ibuprofen would make COVID worse which turned out not to be true.

So they do a study and it turns out that, at least this time, there is evidence their suspicion is correct. Public Health authorities though are rightly wary of promoting health advice they aren't entirely convinced by.

Even with Vitamin D, the immune system takes time to build it's immunity. In that intervening time, damage is done to cells.

The required specialist surgeons(eg orthopaedic for joint replacements) can't be magicked out of thin air, Then there is the physiotherapists etc.

Wearing a mask isn't 100% effective.

Not quite sure how having potentially infected people gathering in GP surgeries is a good idea.

The younger generation go home, work in shops, visit people etc. That makes their behaviour a potential risk.

Far from being “bollocks” it’s fairly obvious outside the right wing echo chamber that morons were out to cause bother and the police adjusted to the situation. Morons at a time Covid cases are spiking. Hard to see the sense in supporting them.

Thousands had gathered in central London to protest against the latest government rules, with very few wearing masks.
Protests are exempt from the rule-of-six restrictions, but demonstrators must social distance; organisers must also submit a risk assessment.

Each UK nation is advising people to stay 2m (6ft) away from anyone they don't live with. However, there are some differences:

They didn’t “adjust” for BLM, they just let them vandalise what they want.

Did the BLM protestors socially distance? Did the extinction rebellion protestors socially distance - when, I might add we were in full national lockdown.

The answer if you are unsure, is absolutely no, and I might add again that this type of totalitarian bollocks is partly the reason they are protesting.

You’re having a nightmare here Pierre. Clearly the Covid situation is more precarious now, and Covid conspiracy theorists represent a far greater risk to public health than the other protests.

I suspect your judgement is being clouded by your view of the political motives behind each protest rather than being objective from a health perspective.

As I’m sure you are aware they have changed the measure for that statistic. Also those deaths, where they were directly linked to Covid, will have related hospitalisation, and contracting Covid, at an earlier date.

The difference is that there are now regulations on social distancing, whereas before there wasn't. They weren't arrested for simply gathering, they were arrested for not social distancing.
Whether a previous group of protesters were causing damage, and not being arrested is a separate issue.


As my previous link/quote pointed out, protests ARE allowed, but they have to socially distance and submit a risk assessment.

So pub/ restaurants were still on lockdown then, but they are not now.

Either way you cut it, the restrictions were tighter during the BLM protests, that they are now.

Therefore the police response is not proportionate.

That's fine. I was only saying we weren't in Full lockdown at that point.

I don't think the restrictions now are more than they were then. I don't actually know why the police stopped this protest but as I said since they were protesting the rules on COVID I wouldn't be surprised they broke the rules on COVID.

I think a lot of the times it's about how much the people 'push it'. The police would have turned a blind-eye to some rule breaking as it's not fesible or sensible to arrest everyone who isn't social distancing or wearing a mask but if you have mass rule breaking then that can only go so far.

I don't have a strong opinion on the BLM marches or this one breaking the rules though. They both seemed pretty risky.

Well, the issue we have here is a massive one, and that is that legislation has gone through it under the guise of the:

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (No. 2) (England) Regulations 2020

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/684

Which basically removes your right to protest, en mass, in a seemingly free society. The people protesting in London are right to protest.

If you didn’t know about this, you should and you should be concerned.

This is bordering on Orwellian. I’m pretty sure this was never debated in Parliament. Which is why I’m sure MP’ are now demanding that.

Government is stepping beyond what is acceptable to a free society.



Whether a previous group of protesters were causing damage, and not being arrested is a separate issue.

My point was, which I made earlier on in the thread.

I have no issue with the BLM protests (I have major reservations on BLM as a political entity) but they can protest all they want. If they want to vandalise stuff and attack police....fine.

I also have no issue with the protestors that have current concerns with how the government are handling COVID, sure there are wackos amongst them, but also intelligent concerned people.

What I do have an issue with is the difference in police response.

Thank you.

I’ve been consistent with my view on BLM on this forum.

I agree with the message of BLM.

I argued against the death of George Floyd and against those on this forum that attempted to mitigate it.

I have always drawn a distinction between BLM the message and BLM the political entity/ideology.

There is a difference.

I have no idea, did you witness or see any?

Whoa that’s a leap.

Can you evidence that less people attended VE Day street parties than these so called “mass demonstrations”. The BBC certainly found one easy enough to join them for singing those tedious wartime ditties.

Are you really saying that the street parties were attended by more people than the demonstrations? Maybe they were if you counted the numbers throughout the country, but they weren't all as close together as the demonstrations were but, no doubt you'll come up with the answer.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. The vomit inducing BBC coverage certainly didn’t show much 2 metre distancing or a lack of household mixing when I looked.

The virus doesn’t care if you’re one large mass gathering or thousands of smaller ones. It takes its opportunities when it can.

There is a difference between what was in the past, just advice or guidance, and what has now been enshrined in law. There is a legal difference between "should" and "must".
26 June

Quote:

Current guidance says that “where possible, you should maintain 2m between people”. The guidance should change to state that 2m or 1m with risk mitigation (where 2m is not viable) are acceptable, and that businesses should set out the mitigations that they will introduce in their risk assessment.

Any measures are introduced at the "last minute" in response to an ever-changing situation. Not really a situation suitable for endless debates that delay things. The alternative would have to be even harsher rules, because of the delay in being able to introduce them. They would have to be entirely speculative and possibly over the top, because they wouldn't know what the situation would be by the time anything was debated and approved.

So why – in so far as we can find answers – are we back in such a mess? Many scientists believe that, having got numbers down in the summer, we failed to finish the job off and reduce them to a low enough level before easing restrictions. We moved too fast, too early. And when the restrictions were removed, there is a consensus emerging that the easing was done unsystematically, instead of individual restrictions being lifted one by one at different times.

The PM is reacting to the way the virus is spreading. If he did not react, the measures taken up until that point would have been inadequate to achieve the required results.

However, I must agree that enough is enough. There is growing pressure now for a different approach - one that I have been advocating for sometime now. Protect the vulnerable and let the rest of the population to go about their business.

Hopefully,the Commons debate on 6 October will achieve just that. I just hope they don’t force the older population to shield, because many of them are still hail and hearty. Some of us are even healthier than some people in their 30s and so it would be massively unfair to subject them to such restrictions.

You can't know in advance how any easing of restrictions would turn out. If it could've been known, that would've made things easy.

There is no known single source of the problem. You don't know where it is going to originate. All the the activities are potentially a problem, it all depends on which activities any infected people take part in.

After years of austerity cuts the police have complained that they don't have the manpower to deal with even serious crimes like child sex abuse, burglary etc, yet they have the resources to visit pubs with Environmental Health Officers to check compliance of the smoking ban and the curfew :confused:
