I don't know how accurate it is but I've recently read that Swedes maintain social distancing as part of their culture (look up Swedish bus stop). This could help explain why that they have not had totally horrific stats even though they refused to lockdown. |

Strange bunch.
As an aside, and going on from Jim's atrocious beard advice, is having a beard now part of the police selection process? Looking at those photo's it seems having a crumb catcher is all the rage with them. |
I have a mate who works in H and S and has been doing some work re PPE masks, he reckons for the masks to work properly people need to be clean shaven so there’s a decent fit, if I was a cop working on that demo and getting close up to that lot I would be looking to wear a mask.
Beards would be gone! [Post edited 16 May 2020 18:02]

Your mate is absolutely correct, even a 5 o'clock shadow will make them less effective, the longer the stubble, the further off your face the mask get's pushed, thus leaving gaps for nasties to get in. |  |

Yes.
When we were fit-tested we were told to come clean-shaven | | | |

Back to this briefing...
Jenny Harries, she was one of tidy ones when this all started, she's gone right off the boil the last couple of weeks. I can't help thinking that she no longer believes half the stuff she says (or is told to say) anymore.
And Williamson, I can't help but be reminded of Frank Spencer when i see / hear him, just me or can anyone else see it? |
I can't watch these anymore, they have become party political broadcasts.
Look what we've achieved, look how we are getting this under control, fvcking bollox, doctors, nurses, bus drivers, binmen and everyone else, that's who you've got to thank, not this clueless, self indulgent bunch of tossers.
Where the fvck is Johnson again,hes fvcked off and left his minions, deal with the awkward questions. The sh!t that comes out of their mouths is unbelievable, they get questioned and spend all day, between briefings, trying to come up with, lies and counter lies to dig themselves out of any situation, which by the way is invariably as a consequence of their complete and utter ineptitude. It boils my p!ss.
The experts they have either side of them, most have become charactures of themselves, why because they are briefed, before the briefings.
Oh and the media, and TV can fvck off as well, they are breeding fear, amongst everyone, theres people who I know, including a family member, who is now so scared of this situation, they are barely going out, it's shocking.
Only in Britain,only in Britain. |  | | |

I don't think it would coincide with VE day. 5 to 7 days before symptoms emerge and then a few days to get ill enough to need to be in hospital.
10 in a day is worrying none the less. | | | |

It would have been 7 days yesterday | | | |

But it is at least a few days until hospitalisation usually, so I'd expect anyone who caught it on VE day to be going to hospital next weekend. | | | |

I think the choice is to go out there and tell us what Bojo says to tell us or lose their jobs. Under Bojo it's probably just self preservation. | |

Given what we are dealing with you would hope that people who hold positions that they do would have some personal/professional integrity. it seems a lifetime ago now, but Hestletine stuck to his guns over the Westland affair and stuck two fingers up to Maggie.... Boris is no Maggie!!! | | | |

Just read a story that Jenny Harries said that young children will socially distance at school... Wtf planet do these people come from!?
4/5/6 Yr olds socially distancing...WOW.
How old is this Harries and what is her background in relation to her personal life to even think it yet state it! |  |

Find it insightful how happily people are to throw away their liberties without question
No wonder communism and fascism has flourished in the past
There’s nothing wrong with questioning the lockdown, nothing wrong with being concerned by the State encroaching on our lives
The problem with the left is they think they have a monopoly on being nice and moral. They can never see it from the other persons perspective.
The assumption is always you don’t care about other people and it’s all about money and that’s why the Far right continue to grow.
The obvious political example of immigration, the left for years shouted racist at people like myself who were questioning mass immigration 15/20 years ago. Me a pro European FOM fan, what happened? Need I say anymore
Please stop calling people c**ts for having a different point of view | | | |

Far from ideal, but looks promising.
I am not a clinical scientist but more fundamental experimentalist. We don’t get bias problems
Because we have properly controlled variables so a bit beyond what I do.@ I |
Prof, how about a non clinical study that finds a drug that cuts the spread of COVID-19 by around 90%.
Would that be useful?
Don't you think that all the countries would be looking at the same data?
Of course you wouldn't need any fancy expensive Vaccines if it actually works, so there would be lot's of red faces and cuts in financing as well as massive losses in profits. | | | |

I’m glad you’ve reverted to type standard spouting standard right wing guff with an air of superiority that only dyed in the world Tory shills like you can muster. It was most disconcerting mostly agreeing with you about Brexit. All is right with the world again. | |

You do know that the UK has had controlled clinical studies of 5 different treatments in place now for weeks.
Why don’t you rely on these rather than non clinical studies?
Yet another large scale study this week has said that your favourite has had no effect but has caused heart issues. There are all sorts of mixed findings. When they’ve looked at all these things properly we’ll stand a chance.
If any drug was genuinely cutting the disease by 90% you think they’d ignore it because of ‘profits’? Do you have any idea whatsoever what lockdown measures are costing governments across the world? | | | |

Couple of polls today showing that public confidence in the U.K. government’s handling of the pandemic is tumbling. Looks like Johnson’s ineptitude and the shambles of last weekend might catch up with him. Shame about the majority of 80 mind.

You don't really need to question it when you see the number of excess deaths even if not all of them can be attributed to Covid.
I'll happily reduce my liberties for a while to make sure none of my family become one of them. | | | |
