    In more positive news..... Imperial college have indicated that R rate has actually fallen (from 1.5/1.7 to around 1.1) in recent days. If this is correct it might’ve been the initial briefings a week or two ago that might’ve jolted the public out of what was becoming a more complacent approach...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Already started on here as well ; ) Ps as poor as May was (to be fair she was in a pretty impossible position on Brexit but then I lack sympathy after she truly fucked up her manifesto/election campaign), she at least still does her duty as an MP, unlike many others when they leave office.

    For those following US situation closely, worth watching John Oliver this week.

    The Social Dilemma

    Well worth a watch (not sure about the drama/story bit though) Probably not a huge amount we didn’t already know/think was happening but pretty startling when former senior employees confirm it !!! There’s an really interesting element where Roger McNammee talks about people operating in their...

    Keep your chin up mate, hopefully things will improve quicker than hoped. I really don’t know why six months was mentioned (it’s daunting for most). Really should’ve just said monthly review and if they can release restrictions, they will do so (even temporarily) to encourage people to do the...

    Missed opportunity?

    I’d say the game against Bristol was more of a missed opportunity than Saturday Sloppy first goal, should’ve had one or two more before half time and just tired at the end Ps they are also now top of the league after three wins on the spin !

    yeah, should’ve checked the tweeter, didn’t even look, just clicked through to the site to see if the numbers were on there/accurate (as in check he wasnt picking up incorrect numbers from site - I haven’t hit a clue if site is correct but appears genuine/numbers justified to an extent) got to...

    Hows it irresponsible ?! (ignore the idiot who’s feed it’s from, I’m talking about the data from CDC) ps my mate said he’d seen the figures mentioned on sky news yesterday. The data is the data (as long as its not flawed). I hope the numbers are as stated or better as it means anyone catching...

    As I mentioned to ROS never seen the feed before or read it. Just clicked the link. My comment was tying it back into the exchange i had with NW last night about trying to get students to follow lockdown measures (Edit - not being blasé at all as I’ve mentioned numerous times I’ve been doing my...

    Agree BSB. Interesting when you see it (albeit best estimates) broken down into age ranges though

    yeah, I read that as not predictions of what will happen in future. For all we know people who’ve had it might be impacted long into the future. I think it’s based on current data though

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Didn’t quite believe this when I was sent it yesterday but seeing as the WHO are suggesting overall fatality rate is between 0.5 and 1, would makes sense (will leave to the science bods to comment) ps guessing this will probably be why it will be tricky to get students to tow the lockdown line

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Think you’re spot on Tony. The concern around the app has always been around data corruption/maintaining its accuracy and also providing the data centrally so it can be analysed (I might be wrong but I think that was the problem with the standard ‘off the shelf’ tracing app - data retained on...

    Of course the outbreaks won’t remain with just students. The virus is out there in the wider world (it’s a pandemic). All I’m saying is can we realistically expect students to do more than be mindful of the higher risk people around them ?!
