“Heroes wear masks too”.

So fed up of being force fed that almost every YouTube video now. This pandemic has created so many annoying drive-up-the-wall phrases and advertising gimmicks, it’s driving me insane.

I think ypoulrer being way too simplistic in what you believe is possible - even now we're seeing some increase in the community of infection.

Nothing should be unlocked until the country is fully vaccinated.

Ultimately, that's just not realistic for any country, really.

You're wasted in whatever career you have, Dave. Should've applied to be the CMO.

Countries could 'lurch into third and fourth surges' if curbs are hastily eased, WHO expert warns​

The arrival of Covid vaccines should not tempt countries to relax efforts to fight the pandemic, top World Health Organizationofficials said on Friday, citing particular concern about the situation in Brazil. “We think we’re through this. We’re not,” Mike Ryan, WHO’s top emergency expert, told an online briefing, according to Reuters. “Countries are going to lurch into third and fourth surges if we’re not careful.”

WHO have been right about sod all times throughout the pandemic, much like yourself.

Probably explains why you like them. lol

He’s no longer the protector of the vulnerable and elderly, he’s moved onto being the protector of EVERYONE, whether they like it or not lol

“Don’t expect there to be a vaccine”

“Symptomless cases are rare” (that person later got a telling off for saying this).

They know nothing, just like Dave.

Just not going to happen, its not very pleasant if done correctly, myself been doing this twice weekly for work, and the reporting can take ages, even then accuracy is not great, load of old nonsense "another layer of reassurance".

I dont like the situation in Europe.

Nor do I.
Look in the positives though. They definitely won't win the league.
They will get beat by PSG, City or Bayern.

Edit. Wrong thread.

It's a BS sticking plaster policy that will never be fully operational and must therefore be seen as only a convenience to the corporate fascists in the Tory Party who want their clients businesses open.

Watch infections hit the roof again in late spring.

What do you suggest?

What do you suggest?

It'll largely be rapid lateral flow testing - in other words: usless kits offering no accurate idea of what's going on.

There's as many doubts over the PCR tests because of how sensitive they are.

They're the only two options we have, and realistically we need tests that give results sooner.

So, the AZ gnats piss is now good, but lateral flow test kits are bad ?

Anyone else struggling to keep up ?
