Re: Coronavirus

If some people dont stop arguing with everyone else, just for the sake of it, there are going to be more enforced 'rests'.

Re: Coronavirus

Myself, and many others, have still been going to work after this all kicked off, and like lots of others we cannot (while at work) always keep at distance.

Best of luck getting a test.

Quote:
If you have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), you can ask for a test to check if you have the virus. This is called an antigen test.

You can ask for a test:
For yourself, if you have coronavirus symptoms now (a high temperature, a new, continuous cough, or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste)
For someone you live with, if they have coronavirus symptoms

You need to get the test done in the first 5 days of having symptoms.

There is very high demand for tests at the moment.
People in hospital and essential workers, including NHS and social care staff, are getting priority.

Even if you are successful in requesting a test, we cannot guarantee you will get one.
Well done to your sister Hom3r, must be a massive weight off for the family

Do you have any temperature checks etc when entering the premises? What's changed there since before-Covid, if you can remember that far back?

Re: Coronavirus

Another country easing lockdown restrictions having got the virus under control. Malaysia (population 31 million, 8,303 cases, 117 deaths). Contact tracing app in place.

Re: Coronavirus

I think a few of us suspected this.
Quote:
Boris Johnson’s decision to delay locking down Britain until March 23 — after many other European countries had imposed draconian restrictions — cost “a lot of lives”, according to a senior government scientific adviser.
John Edmunds, a professor of infectious disease modelling at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who attends the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, admitted that the data available in early March were “really quite poor”.
But he told The Andrew Marr Show on the BBC: “I wish we had gone into lockdown earlier. I think that has cost a lot of lives, unfortunately.”
Some scientists are worried that the prime minister is now easing the lockdown too early, when daily community infections are still running at more than 5,000 and the reinfection rate — or R number — remains close to 1.

Re: Coronavirus

Sometimes you only get two choices in a situation (three if you completely ignore it).

Whichever choice is made, there's a 50/50 chance you'll have been wrong

If one choice is informed, and the other is based on guesswork, it's more than a 50/50 chance you'll get it wrong if you choose the one based on guesswork.

You are confusing flipping a coin with making a decision based on the best advice available at the time.

And I wish they had quarantined people coming into the country sooner but that won't get mentioned.

Re: Coronavirus

Its more a case of the government limiting press scrutiny as reporters have faced restrictions in covering the government’s daily press briefings.

The media are limited to virtual participation, and their microphones are almost always cut immediately after their initial question with follow-up questions rarely allowed in these briefings thus that is severely limiting their ability to rigorously question ministers and officials.
