She said their research said COVID 19 is now just a seasonal bug, we have reached herd immunity and that we should just forget about it and get on with our lives. I'm not a scientist so can offer no opinion either way on this. John Beattie sounded a bit surprised at it though. Luckily John Beattie is one of our most forensic journalists and has the experience and intelligence to interrogate views like this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what is notable is that two weeks ago, in Scotland there were 28 people in hospital and 6 in ICU with Coronavirus. Today there are 123 in hospital and 14 in ICU. For the UK, two weeks ago there were 972 in hospital and 106 on ventilators, now at 2049 in hospital and 297 on ventilators. On fans being able to go to games. Is the numbers of people going into the stadium, and then leaving at the end maybe not a big reason why they aren't keen to allow it to happen? It's ok spreading people out once they are in, but very difficult to keep socially distant when leaving. How many people are going to want to stand/sit about for 15-30 minutes at the final whistle while some kind of staggered departure is in place. Most of the time you are freezing and desperate to leave at the final whistle before half time. FTFY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a public bath in Turkey: A bit more realistic than this 19th century depiction of a Turkish Bath The one with the back to us playing a stringed instrument is believed to be playing an early version of “Don’t look back in Ingres” And yes that’s a contrived britpop-neoclassical French painting pun And no I’m not sorry Edited October 1, 2020 by topcat(The most tip top) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they just lucky or is there some rational explanation for this ??? Mediterranian diet. Except in Germany of course, sauerkraut diet there, probably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Snippet from a Govt report PPE Strategy released couple of days ago. I will link the whole thing for avid readers. Honeywell masks Honeywell have been contracted to produce at a site in Motherwell and will have the capability to produce more than 65 million FFP2 and FFP3 respirators masks per year. These face masks protect wearers from up to 99% of external particles, such as dust, pathogens and mould. The workforce has used their expertise and technical capability to repurpose product lines so that these types of masks can be manufactured on the site for the very first time. The production has started and will run until the end of 2021 and will create around 450 jobs https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/921787/PPE_strategy_v4.5_FINAL.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binos Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 2 hours ago, Chairman Mao said: Hospital bed occupancy in the NHS in England is usually in the region of 88% full. First graph shows how hospital bed occupancy in NHS hospitals in England have plummeted this year. Second graph shows the split of NHS hospital beds in England at the moment. The curve wasn’t flattened, it was sunk. And we protected the NHS by sending thousands of people to their death and allowing many more to die at home. Is the second not a pie chart 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
