Not been this nervous about a test since the GUM clinic after benners My first test last week (negative) all because of the symptoms in this new variant which if coronavirus wasn’t about there wouldn’t have been any concerns.

Morizio Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Just caught the news, it’s mutated again and this new South African variety is in Southport. Seems to mutate rather quickly this thing, hope that the vaccines cover all the different varieties or I think were gonna be fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Starmer is a knight, why doesn't he just barge into Number 10 and lop Deffefal Sumaiman etc. Johnson's stupid contrived messy-haired melonhead off with his trusty broadsword... Normally he'd ravish the widow, but she favvers one of Alexandre's fags in a wig and twinset. Kick her out to be a flower-seller down in the gutter somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Government seem to be a bit worried about this SA variant - in some parts of the country where it's popped up, they're doing door to door testing apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the legislation is in place to allow this currently. I guess this is how they do it in China? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they've found 105 cases, then there will be a lot more out there, which is why they're doing upwards of 80K door to door tests in certain areas, to try and get it nipped in the bud I'd have thought. Let's hope that it can be contained, and if needs be, get some more draconian local lockdowns under way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent_white Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 2 hours ago, Casino said: testing at my work from tomorrow, weekly question, kent? waiting for wife but shes busy if you had covid 8 weeks back, would a test come back now as positive? Is it an antibody test or a swab test? If it's a swab test you should be well past returning a positive result by now. Unless you've caught it again! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do between 5-10% testing of the positives to check the type of virus so between 1000-2000 cases is reasonable estimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 2, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hancock was actually asked a right good question earlier: what is happening with regard to producing modified vaccines to account for these variants if necessary. Good to hear that work is ongoing to check the efficacy of current vaccines against them, and also current pharma are being worked with to ensure new vaccines could be produced at scale if needed.
