I happen to believe that one of the lessons from Lockdown 1 is that it *worked* in bringing cases/hospital admissions/deaths DOWN. The drive to save the economy meant that it was eased too fast, too soon, which is causing this second spike (in many areas). But MUCH of that is due to household...

That's what i am asking my epidemiology colleagues to clarify the latest data. But it appears that while antibody (B-cell) immunity is quite short-lived, the more persistent T-cells stick around for some time. The data on the repeat infections are not particularly convincing in my view, nor that...

Define Beggy???

As far as i understand it, you need to have an active infection to be actively shedding the virus to pass on to others. What is one of the many unknowns at the moment (and i have asked for colleagues on the latest available -credible- data on this) is to what extent someone can pass it on if...

Let them all get it, get over it, be immune to it (probably, at least for a few months), then not pose a risk to others who would suffer more severe disease. The problem with that is the law, which says you and your household (see my earlier post in this thread) are required to self-isolate if...

Well they did climb onto a ping-pong table too! Utterly unacceptable behaviour!!

Not sure i'd use the term "duty", but i posted this on a Twitter thread at the weekend, and it seemed to gain some traction ... " I think there is an argument for letting it run rife through the entire student population so they gain whatever immunity (e.g. T-cells) they can, and can return...

Some reports say he THEN turned the gun on himself but survived (guess he missed!).

A serious-sized bollock has been dropped in this case, it would appear!

Is it the smell of the lard, Tommo?

RICCCKKKKKAAAYYYY! (But actually Pats is a no from me)

Just started watching the series "Strike" on iPlayer. Quite taken with Holliday Grainger (silly name, but pretty and there's something "about" her!) Another ginge i'm afraid!

My wife is a redhead :)

And "Squeaky" Sian Gibson (third dishonourable mention in this thread!)

No-one has actually said where the stadium is going to be. The university has about 600 acres to choose from, some of it up to a mile from Cryfield Heights (ok, so 1760 yards!)

They're fiddling the data (expressing it in a different way) to put a positive spin on it. It's bollocks!

Party politics in local government should be outlawed - make people vote with their conscience.

Some may say that, but i prefer to focus on his medical attributes when he is commenting on medical matters.

Thanks FP!

The Labour candidate in the 2019 election in Wyken got 1425 votes on a turnout of 27%. Surely we could have someone standing as an independent to get more than that? If she is the one that died (Hazel Sweet), the Tory in second only got 765.
