    I'm very sorry to hear that, Jez. As the months pass by, it's getting closer to many of us now. Two of my aunts are thankfully recovering well. An uncle, well, not so much. They are now admitting his nearest family, one at a time and dressed in space suits. Not a good omen.

    Agreed sorry to hear about your mate. Like you say the virus should be taken seriously. The wife’s dad also died of COVID and that was also real.

    Not that there aren't any entertaining moments as well. Tonight Norway is meeting Austria in a football match in Vienna. Only, our national team did not get any dispensations from the quarantine regulations. This means that we have scraped together a sort of contingency team of footballers that were in Europe anyway, supposedly B, C and D players. Apparently, they have asked most Norwegian male near Austria, if they are under 45 and not suffering of COPD they're on the team. It should be a fun night for them – top-of-the-shelf Bundesliga boys are waiting in Vienna. A great opportunity for autographs, at least.

    It’s generally reckoned aerosol infections can travel up to 30m before falling to earth. That’s some moat......

    Is this the stupidest article or research ever published anywhere?

    Meanwhile
    Stinger on the Triumph forums has been examining the NHS Track and Trace statistics and has found a potentially game changing breakthrough in discovering how COVID-19 is transmitted. It is clear that 99.5% of people have urinated at least once in the 24 hours before a positive COVID test. It appears that the virus may well be passed on through unhygienic WC's. This is further confirmed by the fact that people who have passed a stool in the week before a positive test are at 99.65% of the tests.
    In other words, if you are full of shit you are unlikely to contract COVID-19.

    Well ‘most’ would have been a slight exaggeration. You see, Public Health England now accept that between 20% and 50% of the population had prior immunity through their T cells and prior contact with closely related Coronavirus’. Fact, Hubaxe, fact!

    Some immunologists have calculated it is probably as high as a third. If you add that initial third to everyone who has since had it you are getting well into herd immunity territory i.e. no longer enough fresh victims to keep the epidemic going. Fuel starvation as most of us would understand it.

    All of which now makes a vaccine superfluous..... this is borne out by accurate Lateral Flow Tests in Liverpool which found next to no active cases........we got spoofed by mass testing using the PCR method in labs full of cross contamination..... as the Health & Safety Exec quietly issued improvement notices.

    The Government know all this........so, yes, most of are now ‘safe’ but HMG doesn’t seem to want you to feel it....

    Please forget me... What is your problem? Think what you think and let people alone; You are duplicating your stuff on all threads you can.
    It's just pointless
    Meanwhile +429 covid death in last 24h in France...certainly similar in UK.

    I don't know about France, but...

    in the UK, the COVID-19 deaths include anyone who tested positive in the prior 28 days, so we don't know if it was SARS-COV-2 that actually killed them.

    (There is another, higher, count that includes anyone whose death certificate mentioned COVID-19 as one of the causes, but I guess that could include anyone who had coughed in the presence of a doctor.)

    People dying from Covid 10, or SARS COV 2 spend days/weeks in intensive care. What is the point trying to disqualified that? Seriously?
