Back of the throat/tonsil only (I have no tonsils) were my instructions. The written instructions/video were contradictory re number of nostrils to be poked into (obviously no more than 2), one said one nostril, the other said both.

I think the suggestion is ludicrous. That's beside the point though. If Starmer would be entitled to a say as PM, then he's entitled to one as Leader of the Opposition. FWIW since it was me that started this, the PM should absolutely be told to get fucked with his opinions on what we should do up here, given that everything he and his minions have touched has turned to an absolute circus. I'm not disagreeing regarding the performance of him and his minions. As a point about people's roles and responsibilities, however, it's all rather juvenile isn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest that had he said something you agreed with, you'd have had no difficulty concerning his saying it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 The dangers of social media - who benefits from this?The sort of folk that think that the virus won’t effect them because they haven’t had it yet.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Right, so a Labour PM at Westminster, probably with Scottish MPs, would be entitled to no interest in what happens here, would have no say currently for instance, over furlough arrangements?Furlough arrangements are different because they aren't a reserved matter. That's not what Starmer is commenting on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Colour me shocked - shocked! - to see in the SAGE analysis that closing schools is calculated to reduce the R rate by as much as 0.5 whereas closing non-essential retail is deemed to have a negligible impact on transmission. So naturally the clowncar UK Covid response is to close the latter and circle the wagons around their beloved schools*, thereby achieving absolutely nothing in terms of public health outcomes. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/925856/S0770_NPIs_table__pivot_.pdf * though I sense yet another cave and U-turn will soon be upon us 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or “don’t know anyone who has had it” or thinks “it’s not as contagious as folk say it is”. As someone who is more in the pretty sure they had it with mild symptoms camp I think people do need to bear in mind that this isn't an airbourne version of the ebola virus in terms of IFR for most people, and should ponder the fact that when we go overboard on COVID-19 due to mass hysteria there will be people who will die needlessly through lack of hospital access on other medical issues such as cancer as a direct consequence. Not sure what to make of Boris's spectacular U-turn. He's enough of a populist buffoon that I lean towards believing that he genuinely believed a virus was just around the corner and has panicked when he found out that wasn't going to be the case because he doesn't want to be remembered in the history books as the PM that cancelled Christmas. Meanwhile in Sweden where public health professionals rather than limelight loving and opinion poll gazing politicians have been calling the shots... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Why can't we shut the schools now, or even the beginning of December and adjust the later spring and summer terms to compensate? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unions certainly aren't happy for their members to be like lambs to the slaughter now that the evidence is clear: #CloseTheSchools was trending in the UK yesterday and #CloseSchoolsNOW today. It is about 3 months too late but it's good to finally see the media and the general public addressing the elephant in the room and asking for honesty and transparency. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
