Also, to the people saying they had a nasty big before and around xmas, Sorry, I had that one too.. FWIW last time i had a flu/cold that put me in bed for 2 days (like the one at xmas), was Christmas 2005. I don't tend to get ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombwfc Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) On the one hand, deaths are down, testing is moving up to 25,000, Dyson is going to build 15,000 ventilators in two weeks and you'll be able to buy an antibody test from Boots next week to check yourself and get back to work. On the other, we're only testing 1,000 more than we were 9 days ago, the people who make ventilators currently reckon there's fuck all chance of any being ready in time and Chris Whitty says they don't even know whether the antibody test actually works yet. Time to switch off the news for a bit. Edited March 25, 2020 by Tombwfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jol_BWFC Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I saw reference to some UK figures for today that were announced earlier. If they’re not the official ones, where did the numbers come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At about 2pm today a Dr from PHE told a select committee that an antibody test would be available in chemists for people to buy within days. Four hours later the Chief Medical Advisor effectively said that was bollocks - no-one knows if the test even works, and even if they did, in the short term it would be of less use than the standard test. I get people are being asked to comment for 24 hours a day on a subject that nobody, even very qualified people, really knows about, but that's pretty appalling communication. As is the confusion over the reporting of the death rate. Edited March 26, 2020 by Tombwfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jol_BWFC Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 So it was NHS England that confirmed the 28 deaths. Let’s hope that when Public Health England announce their figures, they aren’t much different to the NHS ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted March 26, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 26, 2020 Like most invaders to our sceptred isle, I suspect this virus has more than met its match with us. It’s had a try, realised it won’t win and is on the retreat. Beer soaked Anglo Saxons are a tough mob. Get ready to open those pub doors after Easter.

London Wanderer Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Thought this was an interesting read over a cuppa this morning. So I'll leave it out there- https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2020/03/its-not-socialism-its-another-mega-wealth-transfer/?fbclid=IwAR06hO6Ps41_q7ZsnOk91K4YY2q7BdLPhdDZAiKwk5-6XAZNfUUIoy_Tr2s He praises Rishi Sunak's policies since this crisis started- obviously urgently need more accessible support for self employed- but hopefully that will come today. But the biggest issue could be how the usual few will profit from this while workers & the tax payer will take the slack in coming years. Personally, I don't see them getting away with pushing more austerity on public services. Especially after many will be seen as heroes after this blows over. But I wouldn't be surprised if they tried. I'm a glass half full of optimism and topped up with pessimism as the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris' whole thing has been about investment and breaking the shackles of austerity. I'd say he's dead in the water if he reverts to a policy of austerity that will disadvantage the voters who put him there. But we will see. I think this will completely change so much that we can predict and so much we cannot that the world in 3 years time could be a completely different place. Between this and the climate crisis I think the old economic models are defunct and will be ripped up you cannot base the world's success on a growth model anymore given growth is fundamentally at odds with the major issues we have to deal with.
