Wee Bully Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Don’t you mean hysterical? if this is the case then the sources need fired.

Paco Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 looks like hotel quarantine or proper quarantine as i'd call it is coming, big question - why now?Because the UK will go over 100,000 Covid deaths today, and mandatory quarantine for those arriving will overtake that milestone in the news pecking order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not, according to the BMJ, the manufacturers - and it would be a strange business who talked down thir product without good reason. 2. Again - specialists who know more than those who actually developed the vaccines? 3. In a world where we don't trust a word that comes out of Moscow or Beijing, why do we treat every Israeli statement as Gospel? This is a country which won't admit having nuclear warheads.. 4. I never said they did, but another cog in the same PR machine most certainly did. The manufacturers have carried out trials using certain time period between doses. They provide recommendations based on this. Vaccine specialists, such as those who sit on the JCVI, look at this, take the data from their trials and apply what we know about vaccines and about the virus to produce the schedule. Incidentally, other countries are also changing the schedule some to 12 weeks, some to six. Most of the serous questions raised about the change are based on scientists wanting access to data. The whole situation is rapidly changing so obviously could change. The figures coming from Israel are based on testing carried out by the vaccine manufacturer. What reason is there for not believing them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 49 minutes ago, LongTimeLurker said: CFR will inherently be much higher than IFR if very little testing is taking place. Have a sneaking suspicion that Yemen doesn't feature very highly on the tests per capita table given it's in the midsts of a civil war right now. One of the main reasons for all the mass hysteria over COVID is that many people do not seem to grasp the difference between CFR and IFR, so when a 2% CFR number was being reported from Wuhan it was generally assumed to mean that 2% of everybody infected would die. We now know it is probably under 0.2% on IFR and very much skewed towards > 70 year olds placing it in unusually bad flu season sort of territory rather than a rerun of the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918. True enough. And agree that any comparison between Spanish Flu which was influenza and Covid-19 which is a Coronavirus. 19 minutes ago, madwullie said: It's a fact that bipoc in the US are much more heavily affected than white people - although there is argument as to whether that's poverty related rather than genetics. The initial point was about developing countries potentially having a more resistant population an argument on poverty Vs genetics is not a strong argument when a country has both issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A party that is generally perceived as having handled a pandemic badly could easily be in opposition for a generation or mess up that chance of an independence referendum they are completely obsessive about.

Actually under the covid regulations someone who is positive for covid can be compelled to go to a place for treatment. The fact that his family are not isolating as well suggests it would be dangerous to let the person leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's all arrivals and this remains in place until the UK reaches at least 80% saturation with the vaccination program as Jeremy Hunt alluded to this morning we can forget any foreign travel before the Autumn at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
