Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Recommended Posts

Those much heralded gowns from Turkey haven't been used as they didn't meet safe standards.

As I understand the PPE itself came from China and was sourced by a Turkish distributor. There website would kind of suggest this could be true.

The Dyson Ventilator build financed by the government (and subsequently not needed) has popped up, at least in part, at a subcontractor in Malaysia and the BOM only being costed now.

Highly likely the whole ventilator will be build on South East Asia (Malaysia & Philippines) and not the UK as reported.

The governments procurement strategies could be looking highly suspect.

5 a sides allowed in June but gyms not open until October at earliest.

Not being funny but surely the risk of spreading it are similar playing 5's as they are to in the gym.

I think the idea is it is easier to contact trace and isolate if you are playing 5s with mates than at a gym with lots of people.

If it is "unlimited " exercise from Monday that is in effect an end of lockdown. Anyone would have a legitimate reason to be outside anytime. Will be interesting to see the Scot Govt line if it proves to be the case. No way people are going to "stay at home" in Scotland if BJ makes that announcement even if NS says so.

Trying to decide if I am surprised or not at that Mirror possible "plan" for the end of lockdown. The Covid numbers will surely be skyrocketing again by mid-June latest? 

With no track n trace...sounds about right

Going to be very difficult now for NS to come out today and make no changes to restrictions after his comments yesterday and some of the front page headlines this morning as well. Sadly with how this is developing seems there will be a second spike of this.

This article seems to be getting a lot of traction. Obviously the site it’s on has its own point of view but thought it worth sharing

There was me thinking Ferguson was an expert on statistic modelling...more interested in Staats apparently...
