Made this point the other day. Why after weeks of lockdown, not just in the Uk, are thousands still being infected. Are they all people who are working normally across the world? Is it because asymptomatic people are passing it on? What’s going on?
My youngest is 30 today. He's stuck at home with us. He's not worked since the lockdown. He's in a 3 year relationship with his girlfriend. She's NHS. She goes home to an empty house. They want to spend time together. It's pitting them against right and wrong. At the moment they're doing the right thing. It won't be long before they don't.
Thank you, my friend of 45 years is going to be ok, i refuse to think any other wayHow horrible.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friend.
Yeah, that's what my friend has been told.
Couldn't have come at a worse time for him, he's got bone cancer and they'd harvested all of his good cells ready for extensive chemo & have now postponed the chemo.
They've also postponed his Mother in Laws chemo, his Wife is splitting her time between her Husband and Mother and is terrified of catching & giving them this virus but not a lot else she can do.
He's in good spirits though, he told me to fuck off when i went to his house and sang happy birthday to him through a window
Im almost 100% sure this is why they are starting to get the army chief's into the briefings.
it maybe just me being cynical but I think the closer we get to unrest ( and this was modelled at the start, "lock down fatigue" I think they classed it as ) the more we sill see police and Army involved as a subconscious reminder that they are there and ready.
regardless of the odd incident of people breaking social distancing rules, overall been pretty impressed with how well the public have behaved, i suspect the Goverments economic measures have helped, but i was expecting riots and some of the sh*t we've seen in America, so far so good for the UK.
Agreed, so far very impressed with the way we have handled it in the most part.
Certainly any chemo or radio therapy attacks the immune system so your choice of surgery was wise.Sorry to hear you had a shite experience I'm just recovering myself, I decided to have surgery to remove my prostate rather than radiotherapy or brachytherapy options, and, got the job done just in time, thankfully.
How are you now?
Maybe I should have said it seems to be surviving longer and traveling further.
Personally I don't believe the Chinese figures.
Air conditioning..... it's still very cool here so I don't think it has yet any effect maybe next month
A drug treatment might actually only be days away from being announced, but by the same token hopes could just as well be dashed (Remdesivir clinical trial results imminent).
At the moment fear dominates but the virus is going to more or less disappear from some of the European countries if they continue mass testing which I am sure they will. Then questions will be asked here. This is not like it was in January and February. You can now station 5 minute testing kits at airports and transport hubs. We will shortly be able to test for antibodies and those people who have had it can go back to work. The positives of which there are many are just not being identified or pursued and leveraged here in the UK.
The UK is playing the long game fearing and wave but with surveillance testing, I really don't see a 2nd wave hitting Europe, or the US. If mass immunity is a realistic target then it might be worth pursuing even if it will cost a significant lives in the short term as it will provide a guarantee in the long term but at the moment there is no evidence that this is workable.
Needless group gatherings in the Sun, picnics, sunbathing, drinking alcohol in groups, clearly not out for exercise etc and clearly not staying at home.I’ve not seen anyone flouting the rules. What were these ppl doing exactly?

Early May I believe.When are those trial results coming mate?

Just follow the company share price for earlier indication; there's always one squealer in biotech companies who doesn't care about the disclosure rules
My area, Trafford, seems to be pretty good on the distancing, borne out by the figures for new cases dropping , yesterday was in fact single figures. The reluctance of the government to admit the virus was transmitting by air, and that hand-washing was all-important, will be a major part of any investigation..... (hopefully)
