COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Well obviously I tried eating it the first few times.

It’s not bad with beans, and egg

Seeing more experts coming up with this conclusion let's hope they're right. Denmark is an interesting one, they can't understand why after lockdown they are seeing no new cases, could be the virus is doing what a lot of others do and getting weaker.

i have stocked up on salty liquorice and special brew, it will be one or the other that gives immunity.

It is a selfless trial.

Ha great.
If you want a European example compare Czechia (masks) and Austria (no masks). Started off with no masks then Czechia made face coverings mandatory. The difference became startling.

Hyper aware of what?

Hyper aware of social distancing etc, before no-one knew about it.

Everytime I walk to the shops now people jump around me like I'm a leper.

Some good things from today

• A new 20-minute test for coronavirus, that does not need to be sent to a lab, is starting large-scale trials today
• Ten million antibody tests, which can tell if someone has already had the virus, are being procured. Tests used in a survey indicate that 17% of people in London, and 5% of the overall population, have had coronavirus. The government hopes knowing who has antibodies will help it develop policy

She understands it perfectly well thanks,i showed you why our scientists took their advice,i have no objection if you want to wear a mask,if you are going to use it properly in terms of safety,not everyone is sensible

Even though next monday we are likely to enter stage 2 in Almeria of our exit from full lockdown, today we have all been legally compelled to wear a face mask when we are in public places. Exceptions for medical reasons etc. but still they feel it is still important enough to legislate.

Same professor saying open up the boozers it’s safe.

not sure we are quite there yet but a nice thought

A bit like saying 30 percent of deaths on the road involve over the limit drivers then saying that is safer than the 70 percent that had no alcohol involvement.

So drink and drive its safer.
