Two contrasting stories that show the extremes of optimism and pesimism on this subject.
A French scientist says the second wave across the channel is worse and arrived earlier and faster than expected and without drastic action months of serious problems will follow.
Meanwhile in Scotland a 63 year old man who four times had his family called in to say their goodbyes in the hospital icu when on a ventilator has been discharged from hospital after spending a record 172 days (nearly six months) in intensive care with Covid.
Bit like this thread some days but out there in the world beyond BM.
Search headplace posts ,he posts the official data every day, sorry i bit your head off , long covid has me very intolerant , locking away the old and vulnerable , who have been locked away for six months already is not fair, also it will find a way to them anyway as you cant isolate completely , the vulnerable is anyone with a whole host of conditions from diabetes to high blood pressure and everything in between, it is just not practical, herd immunity is a dangerous stragedySorry Kaz, didn't realise it was selfish to care. Just because we have different views on the best way to deal with the crisis doesn't mean we have to be at each others throats.
Whatever the solution is many people will be inconvenienced, most would agree inconvenience is better than death.
I'd be interested to see your data source that shows the figures you mention.
it would have to be adjusted till they can be hands on , or create a uni bubble where everyone is tested and they stay at home between lectures or stay at uni, thinking outside of the box , clever people can think of it shirleyThis wouldn't work for medical, science and practical courses where students need access to labs, workshops etc.
Given yesterday’s protest in London, I thought I would share this.
Is it the nhs one or the other one ? Only download the official ones, mine just downloaded fine , it is debatable if it is worth it at all as the nhs one cant input all the tests done anywayThe trace and track app has been sent to me and it will not download. It says cookies are disabled despite following the instructions it still says disabled.
In such cases perhaps get a relative to do it. No that breaks the rules and as his missus is on the front line in the theatres at MRI its not a good idea.
Its seems a lot of people must be in the same boat. Want to do it but can't. Then there are those who can do this stuff with their eyes closed but won't or cant be bothered.
World beating? Game charging?
We know Boris is daft but it seems his advisers are just as daft or not strong enough to tell him the facts of life.
