They say they caught it from a human,i wonder why they can't pass it back to humans,maybe they can and we just haven't discovered it yet

no more Lion bars and Tiger nuts for me

Some contrasting messages there. It's not an official trial, but it's also the first comprehensive clinical trial? What's the difference?

the official trial is being conducted by Gilead, the company that produces the drug and there trial will have a larger sample size than the Chinese one and therefore should provide more comprehensive data when results are released in the next few weeks as they will have also tested the drug at various stages of the patients point of infection.

China’s trial ran out of recruits to come to a definitive conclusion but still retained some elements of what a more extensive trial would undertake...let’s see what their findings are.

Tomorrow - Friday - I should have been having a colonoscopy. Had one before and not a big deal for me - better safe than sorry. Its a regular 3 year screening thing. It was cancelled 3 weeks ago and on hearing tonight that 2 people died today of Covid-19 in the hospital where I was supposed to go I have to say I feel thats a result. I would have cancelled myself had the NHS not done so for me - hospitals are a dangerous place at the moment and I really wouldn't want to be there. Thats why we clap those who work there on a Thursday - hero's seems too small a word

Hard times mate. Matters not the cause of death the funeral rules remain the same- I am wondering whether - when this is all over - there will be so many families and groups wanting to hold a memorial service that maybe there needs to be a day of national remembrance - like remembrance day - when the nation can join together in church services to remember those who passed and for whom there was no service, no wake no nothing?

The ginger whinger

Anyone recall the thread where he chased someone down in a car ? Can barely remember it now. Was hilarious tho.

Either way - lungs or nicotine maybe they should be re-writing the messages on fag packets

Yeah that sounds like a good idea mate, we'll all get together at some point in the future and mourn those who have left us during this awful virus.

There is a theory that the reason there are far more older males than females dying is because they were far more likely to smoke
