Detournement Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 3 hours ago, Donathan said: Madrid is fucked because the Spaniards mainly went back to offices quickly and also because they opened nightclubs The hospitality in London hasn’t been that busy because most people only travel into the city centre for work and then will visit pubs and restaurants in the evening before returning to the borough. WFH means these people aren’t visiting the city centre at all. Not to mention tourist footfall is a tiny fraction of what it was pre covid London is more than the city centre though. Literally millions of people live in the boroughs in high density by UK standards. The population of Tower Hamlets is 300,000. Low rates of Covid there isn't down to WFH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I know they’ve been talking about it for a while, however wee bit of info for you folks out there. The wife did a review of all the positive cases and blood work that was done in their practice, all the significantly ill cases had low vitamin d levels. Seems to be a very strong correlation between the two. If a tub of vitamin d supplements for a couple of quid can help reduce the harm then im gonna start taking them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scots traditionally have lower levels of Vit D do they not? Was it not also put forward for a potential factor in our above average MS cases as well? Another thing we can blame on the shite weather. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scandinavians get through winter by actually eating the shit-tons of oily fish in their waters while we look sideways at any fish that isn't white and covered in batter or the occasional bit of salmon as a treat. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty dingus Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) My Orthopedic specialist who I did zoom calls with as he was shielding reccomended vitamin D and said my daily statin are helpful too. I also swallow a multi vitimins, fish oil and glucosamine daily all in all a few quid a month and if it could help if you get bad aids or covid it will be well worth it. edit this was a report on statins - In four studies of nearly 9,000 patients with COVID-19, including three large-scale studies that adjusted for multiple confounding variables, those taking statins had a 30% lower risk of fatal or severe disease when compared with those not taking statins .

get_the_subbies_on Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Option 3 is the only realistic option. Ask the vulnerable to, at he very least, take extreme care or shield and let the other 99% of people try and get their lives and get the economy moving again.Except they’ve worked out it isn’t 1% and 99%Where do you draw the line for vulnerable?...over 80s, over 75s or over 70s? Obese, other medical conditions? Then factor in everyone who lives in the same household as those at risk. Add in care staff and their households and you’re apparently approaching 25% of the population. You can’t lock up a quarter of the population indefinitely under a “herd immunity” solution when we don’t even know how long any natural immunity lasts - people could be reinfected 3 months or 6 months after getting an all clear. Until a safe and effective vaccination is distributed we’re almost certainly going to be taking this fairly unsatisfactory start/stop approach to managing spikes and local outbreaks. Only at that point will it be managed as per the option 3 - as per current influenza. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It wouldn't indefinitely though. It would be equivalent to the previous shielding period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The far right's idea of utopia is not quite what it seems apparently. It was Belarus that had more of a complete free for all on stuff like that which is why FC Slutsk briefly shot to fame. Lukashenko is a Soviet Union nostalgist rather than far right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get unlimited tests for gubbins Scottish footballers on a whim then there should be routine testing for carers as well. That should be near the top of the priority list instead of testing every grotty wean in sight just because their parent is climbing the walls at having to look after them.
