Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Had an antibody test before. They're not sure when I'll get the results back but will be interesting if it's the same 48/72 hours for the swab test. I feel I absolutely haven't had it so will be a shock if it tells me anything else.

Get some blue and pink clobber to cover all bases.

Saw a bloke in Sainsburys today with an actual gas mask on. Like the sort you might still be able to get from an Army Surplus store.

I am not entirely sure the filter would still be working ffs. Looked an absolute divvy to boot.

Speak for yourself, or more accurately, your area.

I find the exact opposite, every day.

The messaging and spin out of that Sunak is horrific.

The level of new cases is 8,000 per day, not 2,000.
There'll be no revisiting furlough scheme in a second wave.
There'll be no shutdown of the econmy and return to lockdown when there's a spike, just dealt with 'locally'.
Two metre rule not in play - that's the dog whistle.

PMSL at anyone who had regard for this murderer.

Coronavirus in England: half of those with symptoms not isolating

Scientists say failure to follow advice raises questions over test-and-trace policy

www.theguardian.com

Only half of people who develop coronavirus symptoms self-isolate for at least a week, according to government science advisers, raising urgent questions about the success of the test, trace and isolate strategy needed to contain future outbreaks.

In an April report to the government’s Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies (Sage), behavioural science experts said “rapid” research was needed on how best to get people to comply with self-isolation advice given that “only around 50%” took the precaution when they developed a cough or fever, according to Department of Health tracking in England.

I'd hazrad a guess and say there's about 0.5% of the people Ilve seen while out who have them on. And I find it hard to believe you have anything approaching even 10% where you are.

Masks? Oh sure, hardly anyone wears them. But everyone socially distances, are respectful of other people and the shop staff, most disinfect their trolly, and are anything but selfish.

And the few that I see wearing a mask seem to think they become immune; see post I made about some utter bell end with a WW2 gas mask ffs I saw today.

Masks, yes. It was the link provided by @Bruce Wayne regarding face mask wearing I was responding to.

As for those wearing them feeling they're immune: I doubt it. Personally, I just feel pissed off that the scallies I pass are putting me at risk when Im doing them a favour.

I sound me arl feller every day, going round tut tutting and saying people have no discipline these days!

 

[RFUS]

So they've abandoned the 5 levels already? We are still at level 4 but moving the ease the lockdown and open schools in accordance with level 3.

Super.

How would they know this?

Having said that it wouldn't surprise me if it were indeed true as most people I've come across in my lifetime have erred towards being selfish than selfless
