Very encouraging numbers from Spain which reaffirms they have broken the back of this thing and end to their nightmare is in sight.

Just a 3% increase in new cases and the fewest deaths since 23rd March.

I honestly cant take any encouraging news from this sort of thing mate as soon as they end lockdown that 3% increase will shoot back up.

Unless a vaccine is found we literally have no other option but to ride it out all this is doing is temporarily reducing numbers.

A resignation speech, sound like a great cure for the country.

Don't hold your breath for a vaccine. It might not come for years, and who's to say how effective it will be.

An end to the lockdown is still a little ways away and will be contingent on two things imo:

- A clear and well established downtrend in the number of active cases which will mean healthcare services have pressure on them eased. At the moment we are still seein active cases rising slowly and it will take a little more time fo the trend to reverse

- Widescale antigen testing to establish how widespread the virus really is and therefore what the likely impact of removing restrictions is

There's no cure for what extensive cycling does to it. I think the wife heard that laughter was the best medicine but she just made me feel bad.

There’s never been a vaccine successfully developed for any coronavirus, including SARS which they’ve been trying to crack for 17 years.

The antibody test is vital, but will only be a massive boost if the numbers found to be positive are huge.

IIRC there is a specific bit in the Koran where the faithful are warned about these types (not that it’s been that effective as Islam suffers from charlatans of a similar ilk to this too).
