Maybe not, but surely good to know that we have everything in place in case it is found that the current vaccine they are testing is proven to work?
Which councils are those and upon which scientific advice are they acting?
I think I’ll leave it there. It’s clear that currently there aren’t 10k excess deaths a week. I’m not denying there was a few weeks ago when we...
In the week ended 24 April, the total number of excess deaths was 11,539. In the week ended 1 May, the total number of excess deaths was 8,012...
My point is that international comparisons don’t support that schools shouldn’t be opened, because every other country is reopening schools, some...
Out of interest, how many of those countries haven’t already reopened schools? I can’t think of any? I think all that’s shows that that we should...
Ultimately, no one wants to live in a nanny state. If you don’t want to look after yourself there’s a much higher chance you’re going to get...
What makes you think you know better than the scientists? A high number of interactions doesn’t necessarily lead to a higher R. Particularly if...
The R in hospitals and care homes is pulling up the national average. It’s thought the R in the community is much lower, which is where the...
It’s the R and prevalence that matter. R has been above 1 in Germany for several days but prevalence is low so lockdown restrictions haven’t...
On average it’s about 3 weeks between infection and death. Hospital admission is generally earlier than 3 weeks.
Don’t agree. They could be asymptomatic. They could have unknowingly touched something in the supermarket with COVID. You can’t be sure that they...
This had the makings of an interesting thread, until you decided to hijack it.
As I understand it, there’s quite a lot of safeguards that need to be put in place for viewings, including washing hands upon entry and exit,...
It’s a moral dilemma in the development of most vaccines. You obviously need to people to catch the virus in order to test immunity. In the...
I only heard 0.5 to 0.9 overall but then I know it is pretty difficult to determine R without two reliable estimates of prevelance, which I don’t...
The ONS estimate doesn’t use data from people that have come forwards for a test. Using that sample of the population would be heavily biased as...
It’s obviously not fine, but the damage lockdown does to livelihoods can’t be ignored either. It’s true that we could have continued to remain in...
I’ve seen so many posts like this over the last few days, mainly on Twitter, which make no sense. By allowing somebody into your home to do a job...
They can travel much further, but the number of particles that do travel further is only a very small, decreasing proportion, so if you stay 2...
