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

    Hopefully someone that knows what they are on about will be able to go over the actual agreement and come up with a nice summary of what we've gained and / or lost as I don't particularly trust any of the statements flying around at the moment.

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

    Devil will be in the details. Hopefully some good news in there. The worst case scenario is Johnson having basically backed down on everything but from some reports that seems a distinct possibility. Although it shows how low the bar now is that we're praising any deal being done, that's a long...

    There was a doctor on the radio months ago who named three common conditions that in general didn't impact day to day life but would be considered an underlying condition, claimed you were talking about well over half the population with just those (was being overweight, asthma and something...

    Needs a lot more work but there are studies out there that show a decent percentage of asymptomatic cases have heart and lung damage after recovery. How that will impact on long term health is an unknown at the moment.

    Depends who you want to believe, either a PR stunt as there's no staff or not needed as hospitals haven't been overwhelmed. There was a press report months ago that hospitals in London had been referring patients only to be turned down. Think it might have been the Guardian. They claimed to...

    For me the issue is that the government spout so much shit people have lost confidence that anything they come out with is the truth. Even in the gutter that is politics where covid is concerned it should have been the case that the government were truthful and upfront with the public from day...

    I think you can have a middle ground between its all a huge conspiracy and the government being completely honest with the public. What the experts are suggesting now is not really any different to what they were suggesting before a new strain appeared, its not like overnight their advice has...

    You do have to wonder how many times we have to import an issue from another country until at the very least we put a proper quarantine system in place. Our first major outbreak didn't come from Wuhan, it was a strain from Italy, then after a summer where we got numbers right down a strain from...
