So he can slander me and Nick will do fuck all about it?

Instead of being happy a life saving treatment has been found all the same suspects do on here are at it again, fucking unbelievable
lol- don't aim that at me, I posted the same link about an hour ago as good news
But its not that we chose not to use it, we just didn't know about it
Dom was too excited about going to the pub, then. Priorities.lol- don't aim that at me, I posted the same link about an hour ago as good news
I was the one...

Notice how it doesn’t stop you getting it - but yes a good thing no doubt.Instead of being happy a life saving treatment has been found all the same suspects do on here are at it again, fucking unbelievable
Would have saved 4/5k lives if it had been used earlier
It isn't the magic bullet but it's good news, I see Sikora is hyping it up though

What about the hundreds of thousands of people across the world gathering? What about city fans congregating? What about the queues for shops? What about the antics in the super markets?
This is all AFTER the rules changed and is breaking social distancing.
My confusion is how sometimes Corona is infectious and sometimes not. I haven't been in any large crowds since the start but if I had gone to the pub then I'd have been made out to be a murderer.
ROS put it up about an hour ago. Some people including myself commented on it but Grendull wanted to talk about avatars and who gives likes to who so took it off topic.Instead of being happy a life saving treatment has been found all the same suspects do on here are at it again, fucking unbelievable
There’s been a couple in as many days regarding treatment of symptoms. There was the narrowing down yesterday of effective drugs to stop blood clotting (One in particular but I don’t recall it’s name) as one of the big complications in treating people who are seriously ill with it is the virus can cause the blood to clot and it’s took them a while to identify the most effective anti clotting drug. And now this.This medical breakthrough looks a game changer.
Especially with whitty creaming over it hes always understated
It's an important breakthrough no doubt but also important not to overstate it. When you look at the trial they're talking about it saving one in eight of patients on ventilators and one in twenty five of patients on oxygen.This medical breakthrough looks a game changer.

Well could this be enough to head towards normality? We're not going to cure it. But to be able to treat it effectively cutting down icu bed usage and death is the closest we're going to get surely?
Yep, personally I've thought that rather than a vaccine, our way out of this will be coming up with something that reduces the symptoms somewhat, a Corona Lemsip sort of thing.A game changer would be a drug that prevents people becoming seriously ill. This is good of course but it only reduces the risk of the most seriously ill (people on ventilators) from dying, it's less effective for people on oxygen. The estimate from the researchers is that it'd have saved 4-5k lives since the start of the outbreak, so 1 in 10.
This is why effective track and trace is so important. Even if we get effective treatment it could still mean weeks / months in hospital. Absolutely vital that as restrictions are eased people are traced and tested quickly.It's a drug given to people in ICU, it won't cut down bed usage.
Small question, but is the two week delay for reporting not the true tale either? Surely if you add in the lead time for symptoms to start showing, it's three weeks after events that would be more appropriate?Meanwhile, 233 deaths reported today, the usual big jump on a Tuesday. 1279 positives, it's a big week this week to look at how that number behaves I think.
113k tests undertaken so 56.5k people maximum, utterly pathetic.
Doubtful. Until a vaccine is found I think we along with the rest of the world is going to have to find a new normal. As FP said, this is only a breakthrough in treatment once you have it, it’s not going to stop it spreading and that’s what is needed for normal to return.Well could this be enough to head towards normality?

Last Tuesday was 1,741 before that 1,653; 2,004 and 2,412 so that's certainly good news. Although still concern at how slowly the rate is coming down.Meanwhile, 233 deaths reported today, the usual big jump on a Tuesday. 1279 positives, it's a big week this week to look at how that number behaves I think.

If in three weeks time things are still downwards, I'll be vaguely positive. Still expecting late September onwards to be the real test though. And when cold damp weather comes along, as we've all been away from contact with people, and sterilised our houses to an inch of our lives, just how many other diseases are we going to catch, anyway?!? Practically, work units are still going to be majorly disrupted, at best.Last Tuesday was 1,741 before that 1,653; 2,004 and 2,412 so that's certainly good news.

Next couple of weeks will be vital. Between people at parks & beaches, street parties, various protests and the scenes we saw as shops reopened if we can keep the numbers going down it will be, for me, the first real positive since this all started.
Look at Iran for what can happen. Let’s hope the steps are ok and we don’t have to lockdown again. Happy it’s looking better but the flattening of the curve is happening at the bottom as well as the top and that’s a real shame
