I happened to catch the Scottish press conference tioday. Nicola Sturgeon's opinion is that there should be no relaxation of the lockdown in Scotland at the moment. However she also expressed a desire that all four nations stay in sync to avoid mixed messages

Flawed logic? The UK-wide lockdown started on the same date, so doesn't that just mean Scotland will be less badly affected?

That's her problem not ours. As and when restrictions are lifted throughout the country she is the one who has to explain to the scots why not. I doubt many would agree with her.

Re: Coronavirus

A Dr who treated my mum in our local hospital called my sister.

She is only one of 3 people in the UK that has been paralysed by the Coronavirus, they wanted to know is she willing to be in medical journals.

She has said yes as she has neurofibromatosis and was in The Lancet for that.


He also said to push for physiotherapy when lockdown end, as there is a slim chance that she may get sensation back below the knees.

Quote:
A coronavirus conspiracy video featuring a well-known vaccine conspiracist is spreading like wildfire on social media this week, even as platforms talk tough about misinformation in the midst of the pandemic.

In the professionally-produced video, a solemn interviewer named Mikki Willis interviews Judy Mikovits, a figure best known for her anti-vaccine activism in recent years. The video touches on a number of topics favored among online conspiracists at the moment, filtering most of them through the lens that vaccines are a money-making enterprise that causes medical harm.
Quote:
The video itself is a hodgepodge of popular false COVID-10 conspiracies already circulating online, scientifically unsound anti-vaccine talking points and claims of persecution.

Mikovits, who in the video states that she’s not opposed to vaccines, later goes on to make the claim that vaccines have killed millions of people. “The game is to prevent the therapies ‘til everyone is infected and push the vaccines, knowing that the flu vaccines increase the odds… of getting COVID-19,” Mikovits says, conspiratorially. At the same time, she suggests that doctors and health facilities are incentivized to overcount COVID-19 cases for the medicare payouts, an assertion that contradicts the expert consensus that coronavirus cases are likely still being meaningfully undercounted.
Quote:
In other interviews, Mikovits has suggested that face masks pose a danger because they can “activate” the virus in the wearer. In the “Plandemic” clip, Mikovits also makes the unscientific claim that beaches should not have been closed due to “healing microbes in the saltwater” and “sequences” in the sand that protect against the coronavirus.
I think the word "Wibble!" springs immediately to mind...

Re: Coronavirus

Initial independent testing by labs running jailbroken iPhones suggests that the NHS contact tracing app developers have indeed found a way round the issues many claimed would prevent the app running effectively in the background for any length of time.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-52579547

The NHS has now released the app's source code on GitHub, so further independent scrutiny can occur over the weekend.
