Two more members of SAGE to add to the 'its too early' list. As well as John Edmunds OBE (Dean of the Faculty of Epidemiology and Population Health and Professor of Infectious Disease Modelling at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) and Sir Jeremy Farrar OBE (director of the...

I'm definitely more confident in Johnsons promised world beating track and trace system having read that. What a shambles. Is there any other job in which you can so consistently be completely incompetent with no consequences?

Its desperately sad. There was clear video evidence of the murder yet it took riots and three police precincts being burnt down before any action was taken. And there's huge numbers of police protecting his house. Trump quoting Walter Headley and instructing the National Guard to shoot...

You might want to do some research into Sikora before you quote him. For a start his area of work is cancer. He's employed by AstraZeneca, the company who have been signed up to manufacture and distribute the Oxford vaccine. Past that he's made some very dubious claims, Imperial College had to...

Have a read of this if you haven't already (its from a month ago but relevant): The government's secret science group has a shocking lack of expertise | Anthony Costello

Nobody has suggested staying in lockdown forever. They have suggested that the decisions being made are no longer, if they ever were, following the science. Even based on the governments own risk system they introduced for Covid-19 we're at level 4 and we were supposed to be at level 3 before...

We are awaiting the results of the phase 1 human trial, that is said to be imminent. Phase 2 trials only started last week and phase 3 hasn't even started. Not seen that. From what I've read the Jenner Institute (Oxford University), AstraZeneca and Oxford BioMedica have formed a manufacturing...

Couldn't you apply the same logic to everyone on furlough?

Even in the briefing yesterday if you look at what Valance said compared to what Johnson said it gave cause for concern about easing lockdown.

There was this earlier in the week as well: Hospital closes A&E and stops accepting patients after new virus outbreak | Metro News I totally understand one of the aims of lockdown was to avoid overwhelming the NHS but that shouldn't be the only measure. Even if hospitals aren't overwhelmed its...

Would be easy to disprove wouldn't it? Anyone can access the information online at the Land Registry for £3. He has certainly been on the electoral roll there, you can check that for free. Did laugh at the first defence of this I saw on twitter. Doesn't count as a second home as its only in his...

Sounds like they're just going through the motions so there will be no legal issues later. They've considered proposals from other clubs but are going ahead with the originally proposed options. The bit they've missed out of their statement is that while the articles do allow the clubs to...

Am I missing something here? Find it concerning talking about using the Midlands as some sort of test to see if things can be opened without killing more people. Not helped by the fact Street mentions things like "economic driver" but no mention for public health. West Midlands region seeking...

Christ, The First Team is bad. How on earth did this get on TV?

Surely they'll only go back if there's games to be played?

Not sure there would be a great deal to gain by getting everyone back in for a couple of weeks before the summer holiday. Just checked the schools local to me and they all seem to be saying they can't take all pupils back while maintaining social distancing. So its either continuing to act...

Not sure I'd take much comfort in that if I'd lost months with a parent / grandparent due to the governments incompetence.

Lets assume that to be the case what do you believe has caused the additional 55K non-covid excess deaths?

Might just be Championship so nobody can doubt the teams coming up.

Agreed. The one they did a few years ago was a bit of a misfire. Nice idea but didn't really work for me.
