COVID-19 — Coronavirus

I thought they'd kept toilets shut at services - designed to prevent long journeys.

I have no idea as I haven't been anywhere for 8 weeks since the League Cup Final.

Yes I guess you are right. Add him to the iist.

You've got a little list?

It was something I heard on Radio 5 the other day. Some bloke from British Toilet Association saying it wasn't safe, therefore they were keeping them locked at services and this would act as a deterrent to long distance travel.

More major face mask and face covering evidence with a report out from Edinburgh University.
What really gets me is they guy who was being interviewed on the BBC news channel was so apologetic when he was being interviewed that the evidence was so strong.
What the fuck is wrong with our scientific establishment when scientific orthodoxy is challenged? Either the evidence stacks up, or it doesn't. Just move on - that's what science is all about.

Regardless of what you think of the fella (who's certainly made a name for himself during all this...) this is bloody weird from YouTube.

Scottish schools off until August,


The first minister confirms teachers and other staff will be expected to return to schools during June to prepare classrooms for the new term.

Also in June more children will have access to critical childcare, as has been provided for the children on key workers in recent weeks.

Transition support for children starting a new school will be provided, she adds.

All schools will reopen from 11 August – but this will be a “blended model of part time in-school and part time at-home learning,” the first minister announces.

A further £30m fund for laptops will be provided to ensure children from disadvantaged backgrounds can study online.

That must be great for freight and delivery drivers keeping shelves stocked, although perhaps they are open in truckstops?

If someone is contagious and they are wearing a mask does this not create more and more infection as they re breathe what they've just exhaled?

Been watching for the last hour. Like what I have heard so far. They must be pretty confident about the track, trace and isolate trial in three health regions. I like that they have agreed the schools approach with all stakeholders - unions, teachers etc. It seems a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to me. What do you think?

I posted something regarding Avacta last week but they are really moving on now to releasing their instant saliva test. Signed a distribution deal with the same people that run Boohoo. This test could be the key to unlocking normal life again, imagine just having to lick a swab and getting an instant result whether you have virus or not. Game changer.
