I understand,i have been called negative a few times but i have tried to explain that finding a vaccine,getting through three trial phases then if it is safe it then moves on to the manufactoring and distribution will take a long Time

We have no reliable antibody test yet

We are only now contact tracing

We are going have to live with this for a long time

I think it is good that it has been laid on the line today it is brutal but it was time they trusted us with the truth

Look at it like this,so long as everyone sticks to the rules we will get through it eventually,we are all playing a part in this ,the nhs have not been over run,t hat is the most important thing,we can only control what we do as individuals,so just try and concentrate on that,we have the best minds from all over the world working on this,we will be ok

I know 5 people that have had antibody tests at private clinics. 2 came back as having it with antibodies, one had it but no antibodies and 2 hadn't had it. They get an official document post test detailing what they had and the results all fully signed and stamped.

So there is an antibody test.

should China not to be blamed ?
We found out today that despite alerting the world to the virus in January the Americans had an undetected death on February the 6th. They didn't detect it either despite being alerted that there was a new virus.

WHO and every other country do not have a reliable antibody test,what you put shows it is not reliable,it is not a this is the number type of test,it is about the number and the quality of the antibodies that suggests whether you are immune,anything that does not have a high degree of certainly and a low number of false negatives is not reliable,the studies done so far show a lower level of immunity than was thought,the WHO say we cannot assume immunity at this point,there is no reliable antibody test yet,you have heard of scams right?

It doesn't surprise me it is you that has posted this,head in the sand

erm...
5 people tested
3 with antibodies, 1 had it but no antibodies, 2 hadn’t had it
3+1+2=6

some mistake surely?

You count ded gud n that.
 
My new favourite academic study comes from Israel.



That's a hell of a gutsy call for any government to make. Playing with fire!!!
It certainly is, but IMO, it is one of the only two ways to go to win this war well before a vaccine is available.
First though, we have dramatically reduce the number of active cases by lock down.
The other way is plasma injections from those who have been ill and recovered.

We also have to prove immunity, otherwise that approach is pointless. Plenty of doubts still about that, especially given some recent reports.

I'm sure Harley Street clinics will be running scams. Clearly there is a test as I know people who have had it and got their results. The people who came back as having it were all the ones who had shown some symptoms, the others had no symptoms but we're advised to take test as they had been in close contact with people who had it.

You get so touchy when theres potential good news I think you are secretly enjoying this and spreading doom stories.
 
It has leveled off but the reproductive figure (now Rt originally R0) is pretty close to 1. We'll never get out of lock down unless we get it down below 0.5.

Based on the increasingly slack attitudes of the public that is never gonna happen. It's notably busier. People are fucking it off. Could do with some strong messaging from our government about this. They've kinda given up hammering it home.
 
At no point did I say France would nuke us, Trident is a deterrent I suggest you either look in a dictionary or just google what deterrent means, you are getting quite boring with your rants and mis-information, what has the UK done to you that makes you hate it so much, take a day off and re-group for your own sanity, I'm lucky I work everyday.

A deterrent against France nuking us?

Rather off topic (apart from where the money goes), but I'm with these guys:
Cmdr Robert Forsyth RN (Ret’d)
Former executive officer of a Polaris submarine and nuclear submarine commanding officer
Cmdr Robert Green RN (Ret’d)
Former Fleet Air Arm nuclear-armed aircraft bombardier-navigator

How does everyone think we'll come out of this step by step?

Wonder when we'll be able to visit other people again. A year?

It will be step by step and you will be able to visit other people in well under a year. Some countries have already started loosening their lockdowns and opening shops/schools etc.

You will be able to visit people again in the next few weeks. Large gatherings won't be allowed but they are not going to stop people seeing people for a year.
