Coronavirus: Currently 'no evidence' that COVID-19 survivors have immunity, WHO warns

Epidemiologists warn there is no proof that antibody tests can show if someone who has been infected cannot be infected again.

Yeah, the last time the WHO said there was 'no evidence' of something went well.



What a waste of space that organisation is...

Its unlikely we will be immune to reinfection - however if it means the antibodies in our system enable us to fight the virus off like we do with the cold & flu with less chance of death / needing hospital treatment then thats good enough for me.

All these no mark hasbeens doing their best to get their name out there for some sort of charity single to try and make them relevant again. So transparent.

Also, all this charity fundraising is not what the 5th richest country in the World should be needing. We’re already being taxed, and that will raise dramatically in the coming years, on the same services people want to donate all this money to.

Thought the same this morning when Michael Balls big fat head was going on about this great idea he's had to release a you'll never walk alone duet with captain Tom, blatantly just riding on the coat tails of someone else's popularity, so desperate to be a face associated with raising millions for the NHS when in reality you've done nothing

I'm no mathematician but I'd say the vast majority are not dying in Hospital, around a third are dying in care homes

Is 66% a vast majority?, I would not class it as such, I'd class vast as 80% minimum.

You claim 80% as a minimum for defining vast.

What you actually said was the vast majority of people are 'NOT' dying in hospital.

The percentage of people 'NOT' dying in hospital is 33%.

80% > 33%

lol Laughable lickspittlers.

The Telegraph is an absolute joke.

The Telegraph is an absolute joke.

"A brush with death has empowered the Prime Minister".....which is exactly why the scam was perpetrated.

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

The Telegraph is an absolute joke.

It's annoying because it used to be a serious newspaper that was good to read for an alternative perspective... the last 5 years have seen it descend into the Daily Boris. Embarrassing

This is the kinda blindly unsubtle racism I see most days in my area. My cousin ordered a Chinese takeaway last night and posted a pic of it on Facebook and someone commented:

"I'm not buying Chinese any more. Homemade only. Embargo starts here and now."

Unfortunately, the money doesn't go directly to the NHS but goes to NHS Carities Together. The donates are managed by Current Partners which are investment fund managers. It doesn't go to buying PPE, or ventilators for example.

80% > 33%

I'll put it simply so you understand what I mean, if I owed you 18k and said I've got your money mate, you come round and I give you 12k, have I given you the vast majority of the money I owe you?, if I have, can I lend some cash off you please mate.

I don't class 2/3rds as a vast majority.

80% > 33%

Most people would conclude a majority is anything over 50%. Unless you're mental and conclude 33 is bigger than 67.

 

[ramacca]

There's been no lag here, the Govt has up till now prefered to just count hospital deaths, omitting deaths from the places where the most vulnerable and susceptible to dying from this virus live in our society.

When they show that 'tracking' graph with the US, France, Spain, Italy and the UK on, they've had to put for the UK (hospital only). France, Spain and Italy have released the percentage of those that didn't die in hospital Spain 57%, France 45%, Italy 53% of their total deaths.

Deaths in hospitals only

UK 14 576

Italy 10 691

France 10 275

Spain 8 434

That's what I would assume too. He did use the word 'vast' though too.

The issue is he said the vast majority didn't die in hospitals, which by any metric isn't true as it's only 33%.

The issue is he's a mental who believes the garbage he spouts.

Now these are the people who should be prosecuted. The world pays for them to be on the ball, not a mouthpiece for the CCP.......
