It does beggar belief. Does it really mean that London is Covid free. Are the numbers true? Its not even the weekend when you might expect small numbers. Will be interesting to see what the next few days brings.
I don't doubt they are declining.They’ve been declining here in Scotland the last 2-3 weeks. Just 113 new cases today and 21 deaths. Two weeks ago midweek daily figures were about 300 cases 70/80 deaths. ICU now at 50 from 200 and hospital about 1300 from around 2000.
Yeah it does feel that all the attention has been on london,understandably though but still trying to force schools open every where and not on a regional basis didn't seem rightEverything's OK now the south have it under control. That's the way this country works, all the money is spent on London & the South East, they do let us work hard, earning money for the southern investors though, so it's OK.
One things for sure, it won’t be anything to do saint Nicola.I don't doubt they are declining.
My observation is that the overall cases per million population throughout the epidemic is higher in many Scotish regions e.g. Greater Glasgow and Clyde (3.268k) than Brent (2.548k) the original Coronavirus hotspot and home of Wembley.
Now, I admit that we're doing a hell of a lot more testing now than we used to do, but with the lock down, cases in Brent dried up at a quicker rate than further north and the dry up rate seems to have swept north sort of following the average temperate going above 13 degrees. Corolation I know but interesting nonetheless.
This may mean a return of the virus at the end of October. Going , north to south this time.
Useful contribution thanks, politics thread is over there.One things for sure, it won’t be anything to do saint Nicola.
Hopefully no one tells donald.Malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, which U.S. President Donald Trump says he has been taking, is tied to increased risk of death in COVID-19 patients, according to a study published in medical journal Lancet.
The study, which observed over 96,000 people hospitalized with COVID-19, showed that people treated with the drug, or the closely related drug chloroquine, had higher risk of death when compared to those who had not been given the medicine
I see what you did thereHopefully no one tells donald.
Want I want to know is where is everyone going oin the roads it’s like a normal day, nothing is opened, if you are working you should be at your place of work, the traffic is horrendous.
The alternative is shut the country down including eventually nhs.Is there anyone that can explain this:
"There is a time lag in the data though, with the R number released today relating to what was happening two to three weeks ago."
I understand they say you can have symptoms anywhere up to 14 days, but the number for most people is generally less. How can you make a decision for the now when your data is not current? The R number could fucking be anything right now..
I'm not talking about that, i'm saying what is the point of discussing data that is not current in relation to making decisions for right now? We are over 2 months into this now, there is AI and data manipulation software out there than can speed things up, so what is the reason for the time lag? There must be a legitimate reason.The alternative is shut the country down including eventually nhs.

Don't think those Countries are particularly hot in March- April.?I don't know if it can be temperature related. Surely if so then countries like Iran and Turkey where its always been above these temperatures then the virus would never have taken off in the first place?
I have family in Dubai and S.Asia, this fucking thing is everywhere.Don't think those Countries are particularly hot in March- April.?

If the 20 minute saliva test works then travel in and out can return you would think.
The virus clearly doesnt depend on temperature to spread but there is clearly an effect in the nothern hemisphere where the rate of spread becomes optimal above 3 degrees and below 13 degrees. There is a lot of research being done on this at the moment and it looks to be a combination of temperature and humidity.I don't know if it can be temperature related. Surely if so then countries like Iran and Turkey where its always been above these temperatures then the virus would never have taken off in the first place?
Bearing in mind covid is not behaving like the other corona viruses in some ways,nobody really know yet but you find differing opinions based on other viruses behaviour,it will continue spreading in summer because we have no immunity,slower than in winter but it won't be disappearing and a second wave in winter is expected by mostI don't know if it can be temperature related. Surely if so then countries like Iran and Turkey where its always been above these temperatures then the virus would never have taken off in the first place?
And to think 7 weeks ago I said that it was estimated we would have 66k by end of May & a lot of bluemooners mocked me. One even suggested i was a member of the flat earth society
