Very few people are going to say ‘I caught it at a party’ or ‘ i played football with a load of mates’. Everyone I know who has caught it claims it was from work, which it may well have been. I’ve even heard “I’ve no idea. I’ve never left the house’

That's my point,they need to say where,work is a bastard one I suppose,but the no idea I've never left the house to get it,well I don't buy that I'm sorry
 
Has anyone noticed crime has gone mad since the latest lockdown?

Someone murdered near us recently and just had my car wing mirrors kicked off by a group of youths, obviously not comparing the two but it’s not been typical of the area until recently.

Apparently several cars have been done in recently in the area.

It's possible if you have had stuff delivered and not wiped it down, postie could have posted it through your letter box, or delivery man etc.

Anything passing your front door is your responsibility.

Fucking pissed me right off, got a fortune coming out in the next 3 months and likely £400 damage as a minimum.

Parenting these days is abysmal and the police are hopeless.

Patients admitted was the cause of my little optimism, so if true that's down on 14th, the last date I saw, and the date it's still showing.

Patients admitted (England) is showing no real trend at the moment, could be on a long plateau, not sure, but it would appear the net change in hospitalised people with covid (ie once you take into account discharges) is actually ever so slightly on the down - that is a slowing of the increase, not actually reducing. But it's not clear. They could be clearing out the large influxes from post holidays now, hence why slight slowing of net increase (still increase though).

Not bothered at all.


What are the new admission rates over the last couple of dates, as they were the number I was posting about, "patients up" obviously isn't the same thing as plenty could also be released.

The admissions are always out of date but have their own problems which is why I never mention them.

They count people who come in with possible covid then who are diagnosed as such and give another number and they then give a number for the ones they think had covid that were admitted. As far as I could figure out what the numbers meant. They are in multiple tables with different numbers for the same date!

I decided if they were that complicated and in dispute with each other though called much the same thing in the tables of data that it was better to base conclusions on the numbers who were IN on the actual day and who have been assessed and diagnosed as having Covid.

As that at least is likely to be people in hospital with Covid on the day in question.

Not being a statistician or maths whiz and totally amateur on this I probably missed the point of all that data but it lost me so I was not going to try to post it in here.

It’s like clockwork orange in Stockport at the moment.

I call the police but they didn’t want to know.

They should be patrolling the streets to prevent crime, not sat behind a desk.

This is bad news. That said it depends how ill people get the 2nd time round.
I can see borders remaining shut for a long time as a result and an update jab in the Autumn.

It is. Although, on the positive side, it says within the post itself that it's not taking B or T cells into account and this is purely an antibody thing. Also, are these antibodies from prior infection, vaccine, or both? Or would that not matter?

Don't think that's happened in any area for a long time, sadly.
 
Dr John Campbell talking to one of the few MPs with scientific knowledge. David Davies.
Get yourself and all your older relatives on large doses of vitamin D 800% NRV now


P.S. With at least 1/4 vitamin K2 by ratio.
P.P.S. NICE need to be taken out and shot.

Does not surprise me. Does anyone know how current suicide rates are?

The tweet mentions serum samples from people infected in the first wave i.e. plasma. That means it's antibodies from prior infection. However, I think you would expect a similar response to antibodies generated by a vaccine as the vaccine mimics the spike protein of the original virus but that would require a 2nd experiment to confirm.

On the plus point though if there was a more transmissible virus that could entirely evade immunity from wave 1 infection, why hasn't it totally taken off? That suggests to me it's only partway there towards vaccine and immune evasion.

Isn't that relating to being on lockdown though? And travel even though still active is far more limited etc so perhaps it's just not had as good a chance to spread thus far? Just thinking out loud.

They’ve been missing since 1967 when Roy Jenkins stopped them patrolling our streets and they became reactive over proactive.

Can’t remember the last time I saw a police officer on foot.

Tbf, their role has increased drastically since then and probably with less staff as population has grown. Spend most of their time babysitting people with mental health issues or looking for missing people, with the word 'missing' being treated loosely as in most cases its a back covering exercise.
