    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    They break underlying conditions down on one of the PHE deaths spreadsheet I think (or certainly used to) but then lump a load in ‘other’ which includes obesity but not sure what else. I actually emailed them to ask what else was included, as I’m dull like that, but from memory basically they...

    Surely a disastrous situation for disaster capitalists wouldnt have been such a disaster 😊

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    On a trade basis that’s what pretty much everyone wanted though Dave ie trade continues as was (albeit there will be more paperwork !) Depends what you voted for though I guess. I drafted a long (and dull) post a couple of weeks back but didn’t bother posting as it’s just ploughing over old...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    There is no way May would’ve tried to get this deal (rightly or wrongly) so she wouldn’t have got it. She wanted far closer alignment with the EU so would’ve agreed to a load of the stuff we have been pissing about with arguing for months. It’s some the nuances/small stuff that’s important ie...

    100% One bit of slightly more positive news. A mate was saying a vaccination site in the NW was slick/impressive. Need the AZ/Oxford vaccine to be approved, ideally asap (I know I keep banging on about it but assuming it works on all the new variants it’s main hope for a quick return to...

    I think Fernandos explanation is more accurate. My understanding is that they aren’t there to care for those severely ill but can act as an overflow for patients....rather than having situations like abroad early in the pandemic when there were patients in corridors etc. Or I presume to also...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Depends on your viewpoint I guess Clint. ERG would probably prefer a no deal, cut all ties etc etc and find our own way in the world totally free of everything EU related ! I think most sane people will probably be happy with a free trade deal that gives us an element of freedom and hopefully...

    If the strain is that contagious (and more transmissible in school aged kids than original) they’ve got at least consider moving schools in T4 (and probably T3) to online learning for January surely

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Its far better than the alternative though Pete whichever side of the argument you’re on, so hope it’s the news is correct We’ve been out of the EU since the start of 2020 anyway.....it’s gone rather well dont you think 😳 (gallows humour, probably not appropriate so apologies, these are truly...

    On a miserable day that analogy did at least make me smile. I can’t argue with the scepticism Wingy (even with the scientists data - the 4K deaths per day on one of the second lockdown slides still pisses me off) but for some the government are damned if they do, damned if they don’t. This...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Yeah, macrons dropped a bollock. If they didn’t have it, they are far more likely to have it now. Yet they’ll have a dodgy operation moonshoot test and either to get it back to the continent (possibly with Covid contracted from waiting around) or now be stuck here for a couple of weeks ...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The three months was based on retrospective analysis though wingy. I’m pretty confident that the comparable timelines and actions (in relation to discovery of virus/strain) will reflect far better on us than China, but who knows for sure and kind of irrelevant now anyway. We’re all in the shit !

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Sounds like literally all bets are off in terms of previous restrictions/tier plans. Even talk of schools being closed for January as they think it ‘might’ transmit more easily between kids compared to previous strains/variants. Guess they’ll know more following further research now they know...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Yeah, I should’ve clarified, all the scientists I’ve heard talking about it are concerned about transmissibility, and that leading to more cases and inturn strain on nhs etc (rather than it being more dangerous) In my optimistic world I’m hoping if it’s more contagious they ultimately find its...

    Haha, I’m only relaying what I’d read (could be wrong !!!) If the whole household had been in contact with the Covid person and they each had their details provided to track and trace (or I’m guessing all of their details were individually picked up by the app), it sounds like track and trace...
