Is that what they mean when they talk about lateral flow testing, much faster but also much less accurate?

Billy Jean King Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I wouldn't be surprised if a big Chinese fleet starts lurking off the edge of our EEZ like they do in Galapagos waiting for the navy to get distracted before jooking in for a cheeky trawl.The shark fin fishery is a long-line method, miles of baited suspended hooks. There are not enough of the right type of sharks in UK waters to attract these boats a complete non story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancelled due to inadequate testing accuracy in early Nov no one is quite sure when it was formally cancelled. They've done some mass testing- Johnstone and Pollokshields got tested. Don't know how many people actually participated in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh apart from the U turns and flinging money at their pals and let's not forget £10k for every MP to get set up working from home. 4 minutes ago, flyingscot said: They've done some mass testing- Johnstone and Pollokshields got tested.

I think that was for community surveillance rather than saying you can do what you want now you've had a negative test. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife has been panic buying for years judging by what we have in the cupboards and the freezer(s). We've enough to last us at least 4/6 weeks other than milk, bread, fresh fruit and veg. We've also got about enough toilet roll and kitchen roll to see us through to the end of February or thereabouts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 They need to come up with something to get these vaccines out faster once the AZ one gets approved. If AZ can make it faster than traditional methods can dispense it, then get it sent to workplace occupational health departments, or toured round the place on the blood buses or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's all about the Oxford vaccine getting approved and hopefully some time in the new year a single shot vaccine will be available. I should get mine in February according to that. I'll keep you posted... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
