Yep ....Nick and I are off to Seville this week (not together !!).

Coming back from Majorca on Saturday ...no info at airport. No one in masks. Get into Luton airport and a brief message from Sleazyjet stating to check  info on Public Health England website if anyone had any concerns. That's all - no hysteria. No checking temperatures. No toilet roll shortage  noooo:

"Right so you know if we do get told to self isolate if the uk goes on lockdown, all these people sayin they will be made up to stay at home for 2 weeks, well surely there will be no telly cos the people working in the studios wont be able to go to work either and put our programmes on 😱

And you cant order takeaway neither cos they cant come out to deliver it. 🚲 so what do I eat??"

In 2019, an estimated 38,800 people lost their lives to car crashes – Did we carry on and drive our cars as normal or go out in foam padded suits and crash helmets ? . No because the media isn't bombarded with news about these statistics. Stop being such dicks with your hand washing and face masks. Get up as normal.

Clearly the man should be drowned in a bath of used Swarfega, but there is a grain of truth in his point about the numbers game.
It does go to show how readily the simple serfs are controlled and stampeded by the Meeja.

Something like 100 million people trips by car a day all of which have an outcome and only about 0.000005% ended in death

Because of the money they shelled out for Lucasfilm and Fox Disney can't afford to lose any more money so they will likely make their upcoming films available on demand, once that happens I can see the rest of the studios following suit.  noooo:

There is an emergency management meeting tomorrow and given the raft of support that Rishi Sunak has announced today I suspect I will still be able to use my holiday to cover for April and May. It it's any longer than that then as much as I don't want to I guess it's UC for me as the odds of finding another job in the meantime is probably going to be slim to none.  noooo:

Just issued in republic....

Stricter measures are being taken by the President.  This was revealed by Christos Charalambous.

 The numbers unfortunately show that they are not heading in the desired direction.  They seem to be up.

 According to what Christos Charalambous said Wednesday night, more stringent measures are being considered as the message "we are staying home" does not seem to be universally accepted.

Tomorrow at the Extraordinary Council of Heads, in the presence of all five Ministers (Foreign, Health, Labor, Justice and Finance) the data will be developed and green light will be called for stricter measures.

 In short, this means that measures may be taken tomorrow, including a ban.  "You will not be allowed to move", it was pointed out.

 The President will discuss this measure with the Party leaders.  According to the editor-in-chief of SIGMA, it is clear that if one looks at the streets in recent days, we do not appear to have the same image as other European countries that have taken similar measures to stop the virus.

 It is not excluded that the measure will take effect tomorrow for the next 14 days to limit the virus.

It makes sense though.  Essentially they've suspended the private companies for 6 months as otherwise with 70% drop in revenue and demands for season ticket refunds they'd just close down and then you couldn't get key workers to work

Having seen the stories about stressed NHS staff not being able to get anything from stores because of panic shopping and horders I'm going to suggest to the local supermarket that they have a collection point set up so that people can donate food items for them in the same way they can for the food banks. Don't know if it will work but it can't hurt to mention it.  rubschin:

Yes and no. While I firmly believe that after testing the most at risk NHS staff should get priority Charles had recently been at functions where he has been in close proximity to a number of senior members of foreign governments. Just for that reason I can see why there would be an urgent need to get him tested so that they can inform those countries as well if need be. Other than that I think he should be prioritised using the same criteria for a regular person his age.

If you are about to own or part own a house in Cornwall then a lot of them are long term very sellable and maybe short term bankable https://www.zoopla.co.uk/heatmaps/

As for jobs in the UK then right now it's bad but yes with our lower dependence on tourism it should recover a lot quicker than Cyprus

PLEASE listen and PLEASE share. (Greek translation included)

1. Until there has been zero new cases in a single day, this lockdown will remain.

2. The lockdown will continue for at least 14 days only AFTER zero cases are reported, more likely 28 days.

3. If even ONE new case is reported then that 14-28 day lockdown timeline will reset once again.

1. Until there are zero new cases in just one day, this isolation will remain.

2. Isolation will continue for at least 14 days only after zero incident report, more likely 28 days.

3. If even a new case is mentioned, then the closing time of 14-28 days will be extended again.

His 1st post ...."I don’t want to sound disrespectful to any family that has had a family member die of the Coronavirus, but something doesn’t sit right with me. We have seen about 3 to 4 photos of people who have died, yet in any other disaster we would be flooded with photos, yes I appreciate that some families may be against it, but in my life time most want to show their loved ones to the world as a word of warning to how dangerous it is. An aeroplane crashing a ship sinking etc, each carrying a few uk citizens and we get to see the entire list of the deceased.......but this very little."......

**NEWSFLASH**

A WOMAN is desperately searching the house to find her husband’s acoustic guitar and destroy it before he remembers it exists.

LL awoke in a cold sweat when it came to her in the night that the guitar was still in the house and in serious danger of being played within the next 48 hours.

She said: “The stakes could not be higher. This trip up the attic is basically an Indiana Jones film.

“I’ve already been through the garage and under the stairs, ransacking like a lunatic, knowing that if I don’t find it before Baldymort does we could be subjected to an inhuman ordeal lasting days.

“If I come down empty-handed there’s every chance the next time I enter the living room I’ll find Baldymort playing Master of the House with a self-satisfied look. He only knows three chords, but that leaves us vulnerable to butchered versions of every song from the musicals.

“The only choice is to find the guitar and obliterate it quickly and violently. Oh God, what if he livestreams?”

Baldymort said: “You know what? Maybe I’ll dust off the old acoustic and entertain the old-fashioned way tonight. Once LL’s stopped breaking whatever she’s breaking upstairs.”

Remember your first car? Mine was an Austin 1300. Nick's was a model T-Ford. Anyhoo... you rushed down  to Halfords and bought a sponge to clean it with. That was a young lung. You washed the bodywork but got very wary near the wheels were the caked on brake-dust and road oil would contaminate it. So you bought another and used the older one to clean the grubby bits below.  Your new sponge remained pristine. The older one by now was a bit black in places with accumulated shite but was still good enough for your dirty bits.

Your new sponge still looks great, but it's been accumulating dust, tiny bits of grit and all sorts of abrasives on it, so every time you wash the car, little scratches go in and the paintwork is eventually ruined. Any type of nastiness now gets in. Your pristine lung is now a problem.

Your old sponge, however, sits, unloved in the bottom on an old bucket somewhere and still only gets used for the bad bits. You know it is dirty, so you rinse it and squeeze it more - like coughing with phlegm - and the film on it makes it easier for the nasty stuff to fall off or not attach properly in the first place.

Smoking is an irritant that causes phlegm. For some people it goes rogue and causes cancer, but nowhere near as many as it is blamed for.

The ancient Amazonians smoked tobacco for centuries - it was thought to prevent fungal infections in the jungle -  and not one of the exhumed bodies ever showed any lung cancers. But there again, they never had to inhale burnt petrol/diesel/Jet A-1 etc. I believe that if you are going to get a cancer, you'll get it through your genetics. I also believe that certain substances may trigger more than others and tobacco isn't one of them. Margarine I'm not so sure about.

Quite the opposite. Precisely because someone didn't.  Think of phlegm like lung Waxoyl. Stuff may stick to the outside, but it doesn't get in and start attacking the main structure.

It's also a woeful exaggeration by the Sun over the original source that they suppose they quote

Miss A and Swillmore are still stuck in the UK awaiting a repatriation fight. They are on the list for the first two weeks in May.

They've been off the booze for 35 days!  eeek:

Once back in Cyprus they face a mandatory 14 days quarantine in a hotel chosen by the gubberment. After that they get couriered home.

They have shipped back as much of their luggage as they can do without as apparently they will not be allowed to use lifts at the airports or at the hotels.

Miss A's mum is knocking on Death's Door and she may not make it back in time...  cry:

I do love the fact that Youtube's recommended film list includes:

Outbreak
Contagion
Patient Zero

I'm guessing they haven't figured out that people would want to watch films to take their minds off things..  lol:
Well Contagion became free to Amazon Prime people
 
Excellent film  :thumbsup:

Black, Asian and Minority ethnic NHS staff could be taken off the front-line over concerns they are more vulnerable to coronavirus.

New guidance sent from NHS England to hospitals nationwide asks that BAME staff are 'risk-assessed' on a 'precautionary basis'.

Figures have shown 63 per cent of all health and social care workers who have died from coronavirus are from ethnic minority backgrounds, despite only making up 16 per cent of the workforce.

BAME patients also made up 16 per cent of all virus hospital deaths in England up to April 21.

Racist .... noooo:

Miss A and Swillmore got the results of the tests that were taken when they got off the plane last Friday - both negative.

Although at least one person on the plane did have it...

Excellent news as they would have been shunted off to a 'care facility' even though they have no symptoms.

I forgot to mention.

Miss A and Swillmore got the results of the tests that were taken when they got off the plane last Friday - both negative.

Although at least one person on the plane did have it...

Excellent news as they would have been shunted off to a 'care facility' even though they have no symptoms.

Because it's easy cheap reporting.  They watch BBC Breakfast and not long after a whole stack of Express stories are based on what they've seen.  Stir in a few stories nicked from the Daily Misery and Farage's diary (careful not to mention his Dover follies) and you have what appears to their followers to be a newspaper.  My Google news feed gets full of their shite.
 
The Express used to be funny in the days when they'd use so many column inches to moan about pornography without ever mentioning the magazines and TV channels their then owner was making a fortune out of.  Private Eye used to reliably get an article of two each week pointing this out.

Bollox I'd say...  ::)

I think the problem with these measures is that it is extremely difficult to roll them back.

I mean if we have to literally imprison people arriving from the UK today, why wouldn't we in July if the disease is still rampant there? Shrugs:

Another thought occurs...

The hotel gets €90 per day - €1,260 for Miss C and Swillmore... And say ~ €250,000 for all the people on the plane...?

Plus they have no staff and no facilities open (pool drained). So they have to provide 3 meals a day and do the laundry (prisoners have to clean their rooms and change the beds).

Hotel management are therefore probably making more than they would with a plane load of holidaymakers - especially if it is AI.

I think there might be some reluctance from the hotels to stop the quarantine...  ;)

I have been keeping a careful eye on the Facebook posts of my colleagues during this...far too many enjoying it. Utter mongs. Do hope that I'm involved in the selection process of who stays... Sinister:

To be fair I've started treating this as a paid holiday purely so that I don't lose my remaining marbles (lost too many in this place as it is  whistle: ). I'm keeping my eye out for other jobs but the way things are unless I want to go into care work there isn't that much out there.

And I couldn’t escape the waking dream
of infected fleas

in the warp and weft of soggy cloth
by the tailor’s hearth

in ye olde Eyam.
Then couldn’t un-see

the Boundary Stone,
that cock-eyed dice with its six dark holes,

thimbles brimming with vinegar wine
purging the plagued coins.

Which brought to mind the sorry story
of Emmott Syddall and Rowland Torre,

star-crossed lovers on either side
of the quarantine line

whose wordless courtship spanned the river
till she came no longer.

But slept again,
and dreamt this time

of the exiled yaksha sending word
to his lost wife on a passing cloud,

a cloud that followed an earthly map
of camel trails and cattle tracks,

streams like necklaces,
fan-tailed peacocks, painted elephants,

embroidered bedspreads
of meadows and hedges,

bamboo forests and snow-hatted peaks,
waterfalls, creeks,

the hieroglyphs of wide-winged cranes
and the glistening lotus flower after rain,

the air
hypnotically see-through,rare,

the journey a ponderousone at times, longand slow
but necessarily so

Feck me, it sounds just like Big Barry from the tip at chucking out time in the Red Lion on Saturday night

A properly tested vaccine isn't going to be anywhere near as effective as people are claiming because the virus has already mutated and there are now multiple separate strains going around. It's the same reason why there isn't one for the common cold.  noooo:

The problem connects with something I've been saying for years. Cabinet ministers should be people with relevant qualifications and experience and not given out as rewards to MP's who have toed the party line. At least then they would have a more rounded understanding of their relevant portfolio and in this case would have been far more likely to be able to understand and question the predictive model back at the start.

So Andrew Cuomo is now trying to blame Trump for a state directive he signed into action forcing nursing homes to accept covid patients, an action that is arguably responsible for over 5000 deaths from the virus. Now before Steve declares that I may as well start wearing a MAGA hat I've always considered myself a centrist libertarian and an issue voter rather than following political tribes. My problem here is that it's clear to me that in this case Cuomo is being a duplicitous lying coward and is trying to push all the blame on to Trump instead of taking responsibility for his own actions. This is even more reprehensible as this is still an election year and despite his claim to the contrary he has just politicised the entire thing.

Assuming the whole 'I was just following orders' argument had any merit New York is the only place where there have been over 5000 deaths in nursing homes attributed to covid so even if the CDC had been able to enact some kind of edict forcing states to make them accept covid infected patients then we would have seen a sharp increase across the entire country. In fact the CDC did issue guidelines on using alternative facilities in order to free up hospital beds and I've read both the guidelines and all three revisions of the ACS toolkit and they never mention using nursing homes in that manner, the only example they gave was the use of hotels. They did however say this about nursing homes:

Quote
Given their congregate nature and resident population served (e.g., older adults often with underlying chronic medical conditions), nursing home populations are at high risk of being affected by respiratory pathogens like COVID-19 and other pathogens, including multidrug-resistant organisms (e.g., Carbapenemase-producing organisms, Candida auris ).  As demonstrated by the COVID-19 pandemic, a strong infection prevention and control (IPC) program is critical to protect both residents and healthcare personnel (HCP).

Facilities should assign at least one individual with training in IPC to provide on-site management of their COVID-19 prevention and response activities because of the breadth of activities for which an IPC program is responsible, including developing IPC policies and procedures, performing infection surveillance, providing competency-based training of HCP, and auditing adherence to recommended IPC practices.

The section on nursing homes and long term care facilities lists the standard infection control procedure guidelines that you would expect to see and that includes having new patients/residents where their covid status is unknown which you can read below:

Quote
Create a Plan for Managing New Admissions and Readmissions Whose COVID-19 Status is Unknown.

Depending on the prevalence of COVID-19 in the community, this might include placing the resident in a single-person room or in a separate observation area so the resident can be monitored for evidence of COVID-19. HCP should wear an N95 or higher-level respirator (or facemask if a respirator is not available), eye protection (i.e., goggles or a disposable face shield that covers the front and sides of the face), gloves, and gown when caring for these residents. Residents can be transferred out of the observation area to the main facility if they remain afebrile and without symptoms for 14 days after their admission. Testing at the end of this period can be considered to increase certainty that the resident is not infected.

Not one part of the guidelines says that nursing homes have to take covid patients, in fact they highlight the dangers of doing so. The directive forcing them to take said patients and therefore exposing vulnerable people to the virus was written into state legislature by Andrew Cuomo, Trump had nothing to do with that decision. In fact the separation of powers between State and Federal government as laid down in the constitution specifically states that the Federal Government is responsible for

Interstate commerce
Foreign trade and travel
National security

While State level government is responsible for all powers not given to the federal government and 'Police powers', these are powers exercised by the states to enact legislation and promulgate regulations in order to protect public health, welfare and morals and to protect the common good.

The CDC can issue guidelines regarding specific events but they can't make new laws, just enforce ones that have gone through the full legislative process and while they do have some regulatory authority it is to prosecute entities that fail to follow those respective laws. So even if the CDC and CMS had issued a directive stating that nursing homes had to take infected patients, something that (a)would be in direct breach of the Hippocratic Oath and (b)contradict guidelines they had already given so I'm more than inclined to call bullshit, it would only be a guideline so Cuomo could have easily said no.

If Boris was stupid enough to order the same thing then I'll condemn him as well although my condemnation of Cuomo is as much his mealy mouthed attempt to politicise his bad choice by saying it was Trump's CDC and CMS as both agencies exist and have done so for years regardless of who is in office. Plus as is clear in the title of the document the directive itself is guidance only, it didn't put a gun to Cuomo's head and force him to make the nursing homes to take Covid infected patients. In fact it clearly states that if a nursing home isn't capable of following CDC infection control instructions they must not accept any patients with Covid, something that the state decree ignored.

(http://A nursing home can accept a resident diagnosed with COVID-19 and still under Transmission Based Precautions for COVID-19 as long as the facility can follow CDC guidance for Transmission-Based Precautions. If a nursing home cannot, it must wait until these precautions are discontinued. CDC has released Interim Guidance for Discontinuing Transmission-Based Precautions or In-Home Isolation for Persons with Laboratory-confirmed COVID-19.)

Medical experts were asked if it is time to lift the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
There were mixed responses.

Allergists were in favor of scratching it altogether, but dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.
Gastroenterologists had a gut feeling it was a bad idea, and neurologists claimed the government had a lot of nerve.
Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a misconception, while ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.
Forensic pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" to which pediatricians responded, "Oh, grow up!"
Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while radiologists could see right through it.
Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and pharmacists claimed it would be a bitter pill to swallow.
Podiatrists thought it was a huge step forward, but urologists were pissed off at the notion.
Anesthetists thought the whole idea was gas, and those lofty cardiologists just didn’t have the heart to say no.
In the end, though, the proctologists won out and the entire decision will be left up to the assholes.

America is screwed on Corona now because while the state authorities were perfectly happy to crackdown on any other perceived infraction of the lockdown nobody had the balls to stop the BLM riots which have been a perfect breeding ground for the virus causing the current spike in infections. After all, if you couldn't open a business, go to church or protest about the lockdown then how could thousands of idiots in close proximity looting, burning and vandalising statues be immune.

You are right BLM didn't manage too much in Florida, just 14 days of protests in Miami-Dade, 7 Days of protests at Fort Myers, between 200 and 700 protesters in Weston, Fort Lauderdale, Daytona Beach, Fort Walton, Navarre, Orlando, Palm Coast, Pensacola, Port Orange, Port St Lucie, Sarasota, St Petersberg, Tallahassee, Tampa, Temple Terrace, Windermere, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Lake Worth Beach, West Palm Beach, Collier County, Cape Coral. Not to mention over 1000 people protesting at Gainsville and over 1200 people protesting at Jacksonville all of whom would have been in close proximity to one another making it an almost perfect breeding ground for the virus.

And Texas certainly didn't have hundreds of protesters in Abilene, Alpine, Amarillo, Arlington, Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Edinburg, El Paso, Frisco, Galveston, Laredo, Lewisville, Lubbock, Lufkin, Mansfield, McKinney, New Braunfels, Odessa, San Angelo, Southlake, Texarkana, University Park, Vidor, Waco, Wichita Falls. Neither did they have over 1000 protesters in Dallas, over 3000 protesters in Denton, over 2000 protesters in Houston plus an additional 5000 to 10000 people in Houston for the viewing of George Floyd's body or the several thousand protesters in San Antonio. I'm sure that the covid spikes in both states are just pure coincidence and nothing to do with large bodies of people in close proximity.

Don’t fall for the virus ‘second wave’ narrative (https://conservativewoman.co.uk/dont-fall-for-the-virus-second-wave-narrative/)

Quote
THE second wave is here! In Catalonia in Spain and in a few states in the southern United States the doomsayers have found what they were looking for: proof that all this continued social distancing and now enforced mask-wearing is worth it. The narrative has been sealed by swift and decisive UK government action to quarantine all entering from Spain, leaving anyone on holiday facing an unexpected 14-day isolation and those with breaks booked the prospect of having to cancel without refund.

Spain does not agree with the UK’s assessment. ‘Spain is safe, it is safe for Spaniards, it is safe for tourists,’ Foreign Minister Arancha Gonzalez Laya said on Sunday.

This isn’t just wishful thinking. While there has in the past month been a surge in cases, mainly in Catalonia, there has been no corresponding surge in deaths nor in serious cases, which remain notably flat, indicating a surge so far either among the low risk or in the number of tests only.
Title: Re: Corona Bingo...
Post by: Steve on July 29, 2020, 07:22:59 PM
There's definitely an effect of more testing than in March but Spain was testing big time way before now.  So that leaves the mystery that the deaths are not ramping up there.  It appears the cases are ramping up in the night clubbing young who by and large do not die or even become 'serious cases'.  But they do take the infection home to the petri dish of mum and dad who of course could well die.

If Spain won't impose internal travel restrictions and practically we can't force returning travellers to have an age based quarantine then we've been left with little choice but to have them on the dodgy list.

Hang on, you are blaming Trump for the number of cases. Have you tried looking at the breakdown by state/city as you will find that the Democrats deserve a large portion of the blame as they were the ones in charge of the worst areas such as New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, California, Michigan, Illinois, Louisiana, Connecticut and Maryland had 574,570 confirmed cases with 44,924 deaths the majority of both cases and deaths being in New York State. At the same time Texas, Florida, Ohio, Arizona, Tennessee, Indiana, Missouri, South Carolina, Alabama and Oklahoma had 121,664 confirmed cases with 4,610 deaths.

Now by your reckoning Trump is responsible for all the states so how do you explain the discrepancy?

Encouraged constant disobedience of lockdown measures? Have you even looked at the news coming out of America for the last few weeks or did you miss the overwhelming Democrat support for the thousands who have been out at the BLM riots/protests/looting burning and pillaging bonanza despite it being in complete contravention of lockdown measures not to mention common law in the case of the rioters and looters. These would be the same Democrats that purposely blocked previous aid packages until they could force in financial aid to things that had nothing to do with the outbreak.

Or are you talking about Trump's belief in hydroxychloroquine+azithromycin something that has been misrepresented and politicised. In which case I'll refer you to Dr Harvey Risch MD, PhD, currently Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at Yale school of Medicine. The author of more than 300 original peer reviewed research publications.

Quote
More than 1.6 million Americans have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 and >10 times that number carry antibodies to it. High-risk patients presenting with progressing symptomatic disease have only hospitalization treatment with its high mortality. An outpatient treatment that prevents hospitalization is desperately needed. Two candidate medications have been widely discussed: remdesivir, and hydroxychloroquine+azithromycin. Remdesivir has shown mild effectiveness in hospitalized inpatients, but no trials have been registered in outpatients. Hydroxychloroquine+azithromycin has been widely misrepresented in both clinical reports and public media, and outpatient trials results are not expected until September. Early outpatient illness is very different than later hospitalized florid disease and the treatments differ. Evidence about use of hydroxychloroquine alone, or of hydroxychloroquine+azithromycin in inpatients, is irrelevant concerning efficacy of the pair in early high-risk outpatient disease. Five studies, including two controlled clinical trials, have demonstrated significant major outpatient treatment efficacy. Hydroxychloroquine+azithromycin has been used as standard-of-care in more than 300,000 older adults with multicomorbidities, with estimated proportion diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmias attributable to the medications 47/100,000 users, of which estimated mortality is <20%, 9/100,000 users, compared to the 10,000 Americans now dying each week. These medications need to be widely available and promoted immediately for physicians to prescribe.

So the mass exodus from the city by anyone who could afford to leave had no effect on the figures? We know you are a rabid anti Trumper and I can see his faults but I can also see just how difficult it is to get things done when the house majority and a large part of the senate are 'Orange Man Bad' and care about nothing but getting him out of office whatever it takes, something that you seem to have constantly ignored. Don't forget that at the start of the whole crisis he was dealing with an impeachment attempt that was at best ill advised and at worst a misuse of authority. And if you think they are any different now then have a look the debacle with Bill Barr earlier this week, if I had any doubts about the childish fanaticism of the democrats that disgusting display more than proved them false.

As for underestimating the severity of the virus goes would you rather he stood up in front of everyone and said the end is nigh? As for facemask wearing that was down to Fauci remember, he was the one who wanted to make sure that there was enough to supply the hospitals and that was what caused the confusion.

I did notice that you haven't disputed what I said about the democrats supporting the riots though.

So there has been no Democrat support? There have been no democrats that have been calling the rioters peaceful protesters? Try watching the Bill Barr hearing and seeing a disgusting attempt to railroad him and stop him from answering questions properly including an attempt to accuse both him and Trump of murder, the mayor of Seattle and her summer of love (which lasted as long as it took for them to start causing trouble in front of her house and then the CHOP was dismantled, I guess that was a pure coincidence), the mayor of Portland who joined the rioters but left before things got out of hand (he's also the police commissioner by the way and after he left called it a riot), the Governor of Portland misrepresenting the facts about why the federal agents were at the courthouse, Pelosi lying about why federal personnel have been moved into states, Nadler's claims that Antifa don't exist, there were no riots and the whole thing is just an attempt to scam votes by Trump, at AOC wading in to attack the government with her own brand of ignorance. Lightfoot telling her own aldermen that they are full of shit when they made their fears about the rioting in Chicago known and still kept refusing federal aid to stop the violence as long as she could get away with. The lack of Democrats condemning the violence and looting. Then look at the reports and interviews with business owners who have had their businesses destroyed.

'2.Discharging patients from hospital into social care without first testing them for COVID-19 was an appalling error. Shockingly, Government policy up to and including 15 April was to not test all patients discharged from hospital for COVID-19. In the period up to 15 April, up to a maximum of five symptomatic residents would be tested in a care home in order to confirm an outbreak. Belatedly, after discharging 25,000 people from hospitals to care homes between 17 March and 15 April, the Department confirmed a new policy of testing everyone prior to admission to care homes. Public Health England confirmed that it was already becoming clear in late March, and certainly from the beginning of April, that the COVID-19 infection had an asymptomatic phase, when people could be infectious without being aware they were sick. The Department does not know how many of the 25,000 discharged patients had COVID-19. The number of reported first-time outbreaks in individual care homes peaked at 1,009 in early April.'

And the problem with the care homes:  the powers that be either didn't ask or didn't listen to the scientists.  Hancock keeps saying no one knew about asymptomatic transmission.  Awkwardly for him the SAGE meeting minutes show they very much did.  This could get very serious for Hancock, there is a crime of gross negligence manslaughter.

Current world death rate of known cases is 6%, even IF it does get down to the fabled 1% that is way worse than flu because just about all of us have some resistance to flu and there's already proven vaccines.  Yes I know it's mainly over 50s that are dying, guess what I'm over 50 and the world would be stuffed without over 50s
 
This one is a bastard, it killed my uncle and nearly killed my friend Ed.  Yes the lockdown was savage economically but few businesses that were viable long term will have gone under in the UK (I know not what underpinning finances Cyprus put in place).  There is no win win win option.
 
It seems to me that the UK government has secretly decided that a long term death rate of 100 a day is acceptable and you know what, I may have got huge grief for this elsewhere, but I agree with them because deaths would still be under 100,000 even if we have to wait a year for a vaccine.  And if we get no vaccine then yes lockdown at least bought us an opportunity.

Best estimate for the IFR is now around 0.26% and it could be as low as 0.1%...

Even if you take the Worldometer data (which you refer to frequently) is is under 4% (671,000 deaths, 17 million cases)...

Just look at the numbers... Population of 7.8 billion people world wide and this deadly disease has managed to kill under a million...?  confused:

Loads of people have it, have had it without ever appearing in the numbers...

And looking at Cyprus as an example...

We've about a million-and-a-bit people, 1,000 cases and 19 deaths... Oh and the entire economy is now FUBAR.... That isn't success by any measure...  noooo:

Oh and I don't doubt it is a bastard if you get it and have underlying health problems. But LL had it in February (it was a bastard) and is more likely to die from falling shelves than Covid...

...and personally, I know more people that have been abducted and murdered than have been killed by Covid...

No... It will turn out to be 0.1%... Like The Flu...  ::)

I simply don't believe it's 6%.
670,454 deaths out of 11,387,178 Cases which had an outcome.  Sure looks like 6%

There are 5,814,099 currently known sick that may recover or may die but can't be used to get a 4% figure.  The big unknown is how many have or have had it and never registered on the stats.  To get to BM's 0.1% there'd have to be over 600 million of them and that does seem unlikely given the figures coming back from random testing.
 
It's worse than flu which is around 0.1% of cases and importantly very few people actually get flu each year thanks to vaccines.

Cyprus has been a success, certainly compared to the UK
 

Not really, the place is FUBAR... Time will tell obvs.

But IMHO locking people indoors for months on end, demanding they request permission to leave their homes once a day, enforcing a curfew and destroying the economy is not really 'success'...  noooo:

I posted on a forum here a while back that the danger of Lockdown and scaring the population to death is that Lockdown becomes the default 'solution' to the next outbreak of flu... There are still people here who are terrified to go out, who buy on-line and sanitise the shopping when it arrives...  noooo:

Our favourite restaurant in Epi has closed forever... So that is the owner, his wife, four or five staff, the landlord, the guy that supplied the wine, the guy that supplied the food, the electricity company - all impacted... Imagine that multiplied all over the island...  noooo:

Look at Apey and all the other DJs, the hotels and all the restaurants that rely on the 'Summer Season' to maintain them throughout the year...

As I said, time will tell - but if (as I suspect) this turns out to be nothing more than a nasty dose of flu then Cyprus certainly won't have been a success - nor will any other country that FUBARed their economy because of it...

Here we go, more evidence of the success of Cyprus with new rules introduced today...  ::)

Quote
1 / It is mandatory to use mask by the general population in closed busy areas (e.g. shopping centers, banks, supermarkets, hospitals, churches, etc) with a penalty of € 300.

2 / Sampling checks at airports are increasing from 600 a day to 1,000, with emphasis on Cypriots returning from leisure trips (holidays), since it has shown that a large percentage of cases comes from Cypriots with travel history.

3 / It is recommended to nurses, private and public, and to nursing homes to strict respect visits and if possible to restrict them to the minimum possible.

4 / Restriction of completeness to 50 % in Public Transport (buses) is restored.

5 / Police control of people who should be put into self-restriction when coming from Class C countries, or when they are close case contacts. In consultation with the competent authorities, a daily compliance check will be carried out on these persons.

6 / Intensified controls and surveillance in businesses, catering areas and other premises by the competent authorities with explicit instructions for zero tolerance.


In addition to the above, and in terms of Limassol and after the latest developments, in the effort to reduce the outbreaks and breakdown of transmission chains identified, the following measures were decided and entered into force today at midnight:

1 / Restore the limitation of the maximum number of 10 people to social gatherings.

2 / Restore the limitation of the maximum number of people to catering premises to 75 persons indoors and 150 persons outdoors, regardless of square meters.

3 / Churches determine the presence of people at the base of square meters depending on the protocol, which will not exceed 75 people.
All the above measures regarding Limassol will be in force for three weeks.

I reckon Lockdown again by mid August... noooo:

Councils can bulldoze buildings that have been contaminated by Covid outbreaks? Which stupid bastard came up with that brilliant idea?  facepalm:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8593993/Councils-BULLDOZE-contaminated-homes-resort-stop-second-wave-coronavirus.html

You don't have to destroy buildings because of an outbreak event, if anything that would likely spread the virus further not to mention the logistics of having somewhere you can safely dump the rubble. You can never guarantee total sterilisation but if you want to properly decontaminate a building then use the same approach as the CDC and USAMRIID did for the Ebola Reston outbreak back in 1990.

Quote
The decon team scrubbed the building with bleach until they took the paint off the concrete floors, and still they kept scrubbing. When they were satisfied that all of the building’s inside surfaces had been scoured, they moved on to the final stage, the gas. The decon team taped the exterior doors, windows, and vents of the building with silver duct tape. They taped sheets of plastic over the exterior openings of the ventilation system. They made the building airtight. At various places inside the monkey house, they set out patches of paper saturated with spores of a harmless bacterium known as Bacillus subtilis niger. These spores are hard to kill. It is believed that a decon job that kills niger will kill almost anything.

The decon team brought thirty-nine Sunbeam electric frying pans to the monkey house. Sunbeam electric frying pans are the Army’s tool of choice for a decon job. The team laid an electric cable along the floor throughout the building, strung with outlets, like a cord for Christmas-tree lights. At points along the cable, they plugged in the Sunbeam frying pans. They wired the cable to a master switch. Into each Sunbeam frying pan they dropped a handful of disinfecting crystals. The crystals were white and resembled salt. They dialed the pans to high. At 1800 hours on December 18, someone threw the master switch, and the Sunbeams began to cook. The crystals boiled away, releasing formaldehyde gas. Since the building’s doors, windows, and vents were taped shut, the gas had nowhere to go, and it stayed inside the building for three days. The gas penetrated the air ducts, soaked the offices, got into drawers in the desks, and got inside pencil sharpeners in the drawers. It infiltrated Xerox machines and worked its way inside personal computers and inside the cushions of chairs and fingered down into the floor drains until it touched pools of lingering bleach in the water traps. Finally the decon team, still wearing space suits, went back inside the building and collected the spore samples. The Sunbeam treatment had killed the niger.

There is an old piece of wisdom in biohazard work that goes like this: you can never know when life is exterminated. Life will survive almost any blitz. Total, unequivocal sterilization is extremely difficult to achieve in practice and is almost impossible to verify afterward. However, a Sunbeam cookout that lasts for three days and exterminates all samples of niger implies success. The monkey house had been sterilized. Ebola had met opposition. For a short while, until life could re-establish itself there, the Reston Primate Quarantine Unit was the only building in the world where nothing lived, nothing at all.

You can't really compare Brazil to Sweden as factors such as overcrowding and a lack of basic amenities such as running water leading to the prevalence of diseases such as cholera, HIV and dysentery in the favelas means that covid was pretty much guaranteed to hit like a sledgehammer.

FFS a single licence for Excel 2019 which doesn't have the 65k row limitation is 109.99 per machine. Buying in bulk for PHE would probably grant a sizeable discount on top of that. Why the hell are they still using the old version.  Banghead

Actually forget using PHE, outsource the entire contact tracing and tracking project to a call centre. Moneypenny, Arise or The Contact Company for example are more than capable of handling something on this scale, are covered by the same data protection laws and are far less likely to fuck things up as from an operations perspective it's no different from running a marketing campaign.

More like the problem was subbing it out to companies that couldn't load data into SGSS, companies that said 'oh you can't accept xlsx files well we'll send it as xls instead then - even though that had a ~1400 cases limit
 
Anyone anyone running an enterprise that uses Excel for such a critical function wants what's left of their brains tested.  Excel is good for quick 'what sees' but it's also the worlds fastest way of creating bug ridden, unverifiable and unmaintainable systems and software

Oh and upgrading to Excel 2019 would be far far more than the licence cost Meister, you have to verify compatibility which takes time and money especially with the decentralised NHS

Post by: Grumpmeister on October 06, 2020, 11:31:45 AM
Not if you are simply uploading data to an SQL server for the contact tracing teams. You would only need a couple of licences at either end, some to build the initial file and the rest for once it has been sent for the recipient to confirm the integrity of the file structure and make any necessary alterations before uploading it to the database. It was one of the things I regularly did when I ran diallers, either adding in new data for fresh call lists or exporting large scale lists for data cleansing and processing (we had 15-20 million records on the database and less than 200k was regularly used because there was only basic contact data and nothing else senior management agreed to start cleansing the remaining records.)

There were workarounds to get past the 65k limit but they involved arcane technofuckery that was temperamental as hell.  noooo:

'Households could be banned from mixing in Nottingham after a surge in cases, a city health official has said.

Director of public health Alison Challenger said rules were likely to be similar to those already in place in parts of northern England.

This would mean people from different households would no longer be able to meet.

It follows a surge in the city's Covid rate to 382.4 per 100,000, giving it the sixth highest rate in England.'

Interesting yes, want it to be true yes but believable? 

His whole article hinges on the controversial work of John Ioannidis and a degree of denial of this data from https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

(https://i.postimg.cc/s1xRMky6/uk-summary-Oct-16th.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/s1xRMky6)

The correlation of excess deaths with that Mar-May case load (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deathsregisteredweeklyinenglandandwalesprovisional/weekending2october2020#deaths-registered-by-week) doesn't fit well with his theory.

Is John Ioannidis right or wrong?  No one knows for certain but the 'it'll be over by Easter' prediction was apparently based on his work and look how well that turned out.  Our current doubling every 11 days death rate doesn't fit well either.

But the real worry is actually the hospital loadings https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/healthcare

Surely the problem is the students are the interconnect between households but because most of them live with parents they then take it back to them who then infect grandparents etc

The 'heat charts' certainly seem to back that

Seeing as most Corona deaths are older people many with underlying conditions if I was a student I wouldn't be to worried about getting it. As n elderly person with underlying conditions I just keep well away from everyone, Simples really.

Wouldn't really work here as in their infinite wisdom the council decided to create loads of retirement housing while also going hell for leather to develop the university so they can increase student numbers and even before all this kicked off there weren't the resources to keep both groups seperate.

 rubschin:  we have to accept that we have many multigenerational households and most children and students live with their parents when not in school/Uni

The measures put in place for schools to stop household interconnection have been questionable but the whole letting 18 year olds go to Uni without thinking it through has been just more bollocks by this gubberment
 
And don't get me on way too many police just watching on as crowds of people misbehave in pubs 'because we haven't got the resources' .  Well Plod you never will if you just smile at law breaking because such just encourages more law breaking.

Exactly what has he done wrong? (Apart from listening to SAGE) The fucked up economy and hardships are due to the lockdown, something you seem to endorse. Better to have carried on fairly normally, advising those at risk to try and and avoid contact. It would have kept the economy going and avoided the unbelievable debt that we've incurred.

How long you got?

- did nothing when told last year a pandemic was a top risk to the nation
- did nothing for weeks when told Covid was an international emergency requiring urgent action by the UK
- delayed lockdown so Carrie could have her baby shower
- sent infected people into care homes while diverting PPE away from them
- denied NHS treatment to infected people in care homes
- falsified no not resuscitate orders for people in care homes
- lied over and over about 'world beating' Apps and test and trace
- endorsed breaking of lockdown rules as long as it's by his friends
- blamed NHS workers for shortages of PPE
- ordered schools back without investing in needed extra resources to minimise bubble sizes
- ignored science advice on urgent action

Will that do?

I'm sorry Steve but you appear to have dual standards here. You castigate Johnson for following flawed advice and putting the infected into nursing homes but when I have had a go at Cuomo and other governors for doing the exact same thing you said it was because of Trump and the CDC, ignoring the fact that the separation of powers described 10th amendment means that the decision would have been theirs alone.

Jonson/Hancock didn't follow flawed advice on care homes, they acted in panic against it.  We know this as Hancock has sought to explain it by saying 'no one knew about asymptomatic transmission' but unluckily for him SAGE then released their own reports that very much showed otherwise

I see that SAGE is now stating we need to have another national lockdown here until March because of the sudden rise in cases. I see a significant problem with their logic though. The PCR test for Covid currently in use works by analysing genetic data to look for a match but according to a paper released by the Lancet up to 15% of instances of the common cold are caused by members of the coronavirus family so given that we are in the cold season now I can't help but wonder what the false positive rate is. 


Estimated annual proportion of cases of the common cold by viral cause:

Rhinoviruses 30–50%
Coronaviruses 10–15%
Influenza viruses 5–15%
Respiratory syncytial virus 5%
Parainfluenza viruses 5%
Adenoviruses <5%
Enteroviruses <5%
Metapneumovirus Unknown
Unknown 20–30%

At most the false positive tests are 4%  Lancet Link (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2600(20)30453-7/fulltext)
 
Current death rate is 230 a day rising 52% each week with hospital admissions over 1200 a day and rising 25% a week (see  https://coronavirus-staging.data.gov.uk/ ) which rather make that at most 4% irrelevant.  Just do the exponential on those numbers

Irrelevant numbers? Ok, according to the UK.gov site 308,763 tests were processed on 28th Oct with 23.065 showing positive, that makes 922 false positives at a 4% error rate. If we are processing somewhere between 6500 and 7000 false positives per week. Even in the best case scenario when there are almost as many false positive results as hospitalisations then significant resources being incorrectly allocated that could help bring the death rate down.

If you want to put it completely in context 965,640 people have tested positive to date, so at 4% thats over 38,000 incorrect results that may have drawn resources from where they were actually needed.

https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/testing

Now think how many thousands of people across the country end up usually getting a cold over November, December and January. Unless the Covid-19 genome has been completely mapped and an RNA sequence specific to it and not common to the coronavirus family has been found then you are looking at a potentially massive jump in the number of false positives that will be reported over the next few months.

The point is that at most 1 in 25 tests are false positives so the current stats indication that 'oh fuck we've got a problem' are not dismissable.  So as lockdowns have been the only measure that has reduced hospital and death counts we need them in some form

How on earth do you figure that

What do you think reversed that exponential spiral of deaths and hospital load we had in March?  It certainly wasn't distribution of Creme Eggs was it

I have to ask do you want to discuss this seriously?

Go on then...

We entered lockdown on March 24th.  Looking at detected case data is no indicator as we were then woefully unable to field enough tests.  But we can look at patient admissions to hospital for Covid and deaths from Covid that might be expected to lag 2 and 3 weeks behind measures.

And what do we find

Patient admissions peaked on April 7th (2 weeks to the day after) with a 7 day rolling average of 3,115 per day

Deaths peaked on April 13th (nigh on that very 3 weeks) with a 7 day rolling average of 942 per day

A month later the death rate had more than halved and patient admissions even more reduced.  However if we hadn't had those lockdown benefits the prospects were the quadrupling and doubling per week per week of deaths and patients in hospital would have had us at hundreds of thousands of both daily deaths and in hospital patients by that month after.  The NHS only has 150,000 beds (https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/publications/nhs-hospital-bed-numbers#:~:text=The%20total%20number%20of%20NHS,patients%20treated%20has%20increased%20significantly.) and not too many true ICU beds (https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-kingdom?view=resource-use&tab=trend&resource=icu_beds)   We'd have been well fucked

You can get all the data at https://coronavirus-staging.data.gov.uk/ (loads of drill down and downloads available) but this chart shows it well especially the effect of over relaxing lockdowns from the end of July

(https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/800/cpsprodpb/C5B5/production/_115131605_uk_daily_deaths_with_ra_29october-nc.png)

And if you don't trust the BBC make your own spreadsheet or you could just trust mine (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15gzQshuJ4ctVlzRKdIZ01jV8-fj3yb-OYi_S128jUXY/edit?usp=sharing)

I'd love to be able to assert that we don't need some form of lockdown but this side of a vaccine we very much do.  Because unless you subscribe to the Creme Eggs theory the evidence is overwhelming that some form of lockdowns are the only tool we have
 
Are all the details of lockdown what I'd do?  No but we're arguing about the principle

You can get all the data at https://coronavirus-staging.data.gov.uk/ (loads of drill down and downloads available) but this chart shows it well especially the effect of over relaxing lockdowns from the end of July

(https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/800/cpsprodpb/C5B5/production/_115131605_uk_daily_deaths_with_ra_29october-nc.png)

And if you don't trust the BBC make your own spreadsheet or you could just trust mine (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15gzQshuJ4ctVlzRKdIZ01jV8-fj3yb-OYi_S128jUXY/edit?usp=sharing)

I'd love to be able to assert that we don't need some form of lockdown but this side of a vaccine we very much do.  Because unless you subscribe to the Creme Eggs theory the evidence is overwhelming that some form of lockdowns are the only tool we have
 
Are all the details of lockdown what I'd do?  No but we're arguing about the principle

And Sweden...? ::)

Of course case data is relevant...

Back in March 'cases' were people being ill - not positive tests on people with no symptoms and 'cases' were falling before Lockdown.

Lockdown hasn't worked anywhere - Locking down only delays the inevitable while creating many other problems. The cure really will be significantly worse than the disease IMHO....

What's the evidence cases were falling before lockdown on March 24th?   The UK figures don't show that and neither do the Cyprus ones https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/cyprus/

Like it or not Lockdown worked
 
You could try arguing alternatives might have worked and you mention Sweden that did voluntary lockdown and being largely single generational households and obedient souls that worked for a while but it ain't looking so good there now

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/
 
Do you really think voluntary lockdown would have worked in the UK?   FFS we can't even get people to park legally

The evidence has been out there for months... I really can't be arsed to find it but if you are really interested, I'd direct you to the Lockdown Sceptics (https://lockdownsceptics.org/) site.

The fact is Lockdowns don't work to eradicate the virus, they just delay it. If they worked there would be no need for second or third Lockdowns because they would have worked the first time.

There can be no dispute (surely) that the original stated aim of the Lockdown was to 'flatten the curve' and buy time for the health services. Somehow over time this has evolved into buying time until a vaccine has been developed - in the meanwhile destroying lives and economies all over the world.

Lastly, the data is there - there is simply no correlation between severity of lockdown and rate of deaths from the virus.

As for Sweden, their economy remains open, bars shops and restaurants doing fine, no curfew, kids at school, no face nappies - doesn't look so bad to me actually.

I don't recall anyone of provenance saying lockdowns would eradicate it, they were always about buying time and preventing massive overload on the NHS.  And at that they worked very well but then with all good intents we relaxed them too much . 

Anyway will go look at that skeptics site and see if it changes my mind.  Might be a few hours as very biz right now

Well seems we are about to get another big lockdown whatever
 
But to that site.  It's a collection of blog posts so is a difficult read but in essence it seems to make two points

a) government projections are less than accurate

b) the original lockdown justification was wrong

On (a) he seems to be pushing the less than honest inference that if something isn't 100% right it has to be totally rejected.  Well that's false thinking unless you have a better projection to work with.  We don't

On (b) it all boils down to this article he wrote and was published freely viewable here:  https://thecritic.co.uk/has-the-government-over-reacted-to-the-coronavirus-crisis/

And in essence that article says we should never have had the first lockdown because the maths don't support the death avoidance value analysis.  Well I don't know about his £££ analysis (it looks questionable) but he's projecting a false point again.  The March 23rd announced lockdown was not about money but because the NHS was already struggling and was projected to become massively overwhelmed.  The maths aren't hard to do when you have over 1200 Covid admissions a day and it's doubling every week. 
 
Had the NHS got anywhere near 10,000 admissions a day it would have failed and you would get all sorts of societal breakdown issues if that ever happens and the cost of those would outweigh that £350B mooted cost of Lockdown
 
Hospital admissions are already above where they were on March 23rd and while they are increasing they are nothing like the exponential rate we had in March.  That makes another big lockdown debateable, I await their words.
 
But the death rate is now over 250 a day rising at over 55% a week.  We have to do something

Even that twat Johnson and his cronies are going for a one month lockdown now. Trump said it was a "Democrat Hoax". One quarter of a million dead Americans later and 90000 cases a day and rising, I say hats off to the Democrats for the most successful hoax in history.

I have no desire to catch this from some dumbo who breathes on me with no mask as I will surely die, especially if both of my 2 local hospitals have cases spilling out of the doors.

If the Tories are shutting down the country on scientific advice then they know how bad it is. Johnson used the word "moral" in his briefing earlier on!! I nearly fainted.

More students getting fined in Nottingham for having 100+  parties. Now up to £10K a time. When will they learn.

Christmas is just a long lockdown anyway every year. Get used to it.

My prediction? The lockdown will get extended by 10 days from early December  (schools and universities finish) and be miraculously and generously lifted for Christmas and followed by a further spike and 2 week lockdown late Jan.

'The first effective coronavirus vaccine can prevent more than 90% of people from getting Covid-19, a preliminary analysis shows.

The developers - Pfizer and BioNTech - described it as a "great day for science and humanity".

Their vaccine has been tested on 43,500 people in six countries and no safety concerns have been raised.'

Lockdown 2.0 may have stopped the then looming explosion in numbers but it's still real people that are dying at ~ 450 a day in the UK. The new tiers scheme may have been a kluge with shit detail but we have to hope it works as most of us are not getting that vaccine anytime soon
