Coronavirus

I think over here some are still administered at school, so maybe it's different in the UK these days.
I know they are given at much younger age than they used to be.

still done at school, infact year 9's in secondary school were due to have them in March but it all got cancelled.

So we have 3m tests but 2m people tested?

I don't understand this, genuinely.

The amount for false negatives they get cause some patients get multiple tests. A nurse told me depending on the xray they can be certain it's covid and will often do 4-5 tests 'until they get a positive'

Good to see the NHS surcharge for NHS and careworkers is being binned. However, they can drop the bullshit that Boris has done this after his experience during his treatment for COVID-19. That seems to be the way it is being explained, just 24 hours after Boris was saying no chance, it makes us a lot of money. What has actually happened is his own MP's were going to rebel so he had to back down.

Should be scrapped altogether. Just a cruel and pointless measure that doesn't even raise that much revenue, purely introduced as part of Cameron's ongoing attempts to stop shedding votes to UKIP by going, "doesn't matter that immigrants are a net funder of the health service already, doesn't matter that much of the staff are immigrants, we're gonna just give you cretins what you want."

Racist, xenophobic policy, and I'll clap that the day it dies.

Indeed.

I don't give a shit what you think. I do not care if you read it.

My replies are always there. That is all that matters.

From the torygraph, explains a lot of the difference between tests and people tested. Not even a surprise really.

Tens of thousands of coronavirus tests have been double-counted, officials admit
Two samples taken from the same patient are being recorded as two separate tests in the Government's official figures


Tens of thousands of Covid-19 tests have been double-counted in the Government’s official tally, public health officials have admitted.

Diagnostic tests which involve taking saliva and nasal samples from the same patient are being counted as two tests, not one.

I hope it will be over soon!

I for one am shocked that the Government would do such a thing.

Anyway, that's enough negativity, we should all be grateful that schools could soon re open and our children can get back to being educated in safety.

Assuming you assume that the assumption you assume to be assumptive is assumed to be the best assumption based on on the assumptions you originally assumed.

This paper presents the findings from a collaborative analysis conducted by SPI-M and SPI-B, to explore the modelling outcomes and behavioural science aspects of 7 school closure scenarios identified by the Department for Education (DfE), in comparison with schools either staying shut (Baseline 1), or remaining fully open (Baseline 2)

Priti Vacant is not Boris today...

 

[Papper]

So Pritti says the worst hit country (aside from the US) is quaranting arrivals for two weeks - many from places that that haven't fucked up their handling of the virus. Have a feeling they are about three months too late with this one. Soon the furlough will be replaced with redunancies. Is there actually anything they have done right?

It's inspiring to read about these people and a direct and stark contrast to the idle who rely on state support and can't be bothered to harvest fruit and veg.

They will need some exemptions or European football and F1 are dead.

If fruit pickers are deemed to be self isolating I'm sure we can figure something out for sports teams. I'd hope so anyway

I cannot see any crowd sport existing until a vaccine is found or by some miracle it disappears. We would have won the Europa Cup.

Well at least it'll stop some of the Proles hitting the UK beaches this summer. How many thousands is that out of work?

Isn't a standard UK mattress 1.9m long?

Yes. Bane of my life.
