COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[AlgarveBlu]

Yes, she says we don't know how much immunity people get,whether it is enough to protect them and for how long,she says we can assume based on other viruses but we can't say for sure as we are only 3months into this,the antibody testing and retesting will tell us

But this has been the issue for the last few months everyone talking about antibody tests and ignoring the associated problems of getting accurate ones and the assumption always being that immunity for a sustained period was a given. I have always found this very weird and worrying in equal measures as its just like we’ve skipped the science again.

I came to the conclusion some time ago we are literally just winging it and there’s a lot of crowd control being going on in these press conferences.

So boris is out of hospital and has gone to chequers to continue his recovery .

How long will it be until he is criticised for going to his second home......

Spot on

If the NHS is short of Gowns why have the UK not deployed NBC suits (not the mask or rubber gloves), just the suits to UK Hospitals along with a decontamination station to clean them.
They're reusable too.

Spot on again

There are 40 countries in the world that have 5g networks. There are 190 odd sovereign countries in the world, how do they explain people with coronavirus in non 5g network countries? Quite easy to debunk that theory, you wouldn’t waste your bank holiday trying to burn a 5g mast down. Understandable he is a rag.

Try explaining it to the flat earth society mate.

Coronavirus hospital deaths in the UK have topped more than 10,000 as 657 more people die in England.It brings the total number of deaths of people who have tested positive for COVID-19 to 10,532

The latest figures do not give a true picture of fatalities overall, as they do not include deaths in care homes.

What the fuck is happening,life has changed so much in a few weeks,my head is spinning

I agree,we are winging it,we have great scientists but they have only ever done this stuff in theory and not in practise

So how much longer before the penny drops and you all realise this "lockdown" is a joke?

What do you mean by this?

They not spending Easter Sunday white water rafting off the side of the flat earth then?

Humans with darker skin in colder climates get less Vitamin D, even on hot sunny midsummer summer days with 17 hours of daylight, than humans with whiter skin. Wonder if that has had an impact on these figures?

I can’t find any British studies on people with darker skin and VitD but here are a couple of Yank ones with problems African-Americans have with VitD deficiency:

Good point.
One of the reasons flu strikes when it does is that people get less vit D in the winter.
