Ok so rummaging around in the BM cellar I managed to find this old thread.

If I’m not mistaken this may be the first preliminary feed back we have from any vaccine program out there that is at phase 3 stage - source of data feedback is from the governor of the State of São Paulo in Brazil so hopefully reliable!

Lund University (I think) have done a study with blood test analysis from 160 people that can predict how ill a person will be if they get covid. If they can turn this into a useable test it will be a game changer for lockdown and can be used to prioritise vaccination.

Sweden are offering to help other EU countries with severely ill Covid-19 patients. The ECMO (Extracorpeal membrane oxgenation) center in Stockholm can take up to 30 patients and has it's own jet to move patients.
ECMO machines oxygenate the blood outside the body and allow the lungs to heal and recover.

You can tell things are getting bad with the figures when this thread reappears!

Think this thread was in need of a resurrection! Staying away from the main thread if I can help it at the moment. Getting sick of the abuse you get for not toeing the party line. It was bad enough when the figures were improving...

I think the table service in pubs is a benefit. Most people like that when they go abroad and it’s a good way of keeping pubs open and supporting local businesses.

Not been in a pub since reopening but I thought they had to do table service and no standing from when they reopened, I know cafes have, I take it that's not the case ? Would have made more sense to stop people wandering around.

One positive from all this is that it's highly unlikely the Christmas markets won't be on in the city centre.

i went to a packed pub saturday, the only restrictions in place was you had to enter one door and use another door to exit - other than that, it was exactly the same as before
