Alcohol-related deaths up last year

Off my first test.

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.

Sounds good

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. 

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

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

Maybe in this sort of scenario is where closing areas off and restricting/preventing travel in and out should occur. 
 

I don’t think the legislation is in place to allow this currently. 
 

I guess this is how they do it in China? 

it says 11 people have got it 

and can the stay home 

pick them all up and stick them all in a Blackpool hotel under lock and key

They've so far found 105 cases, of those 11 cases have no history of international travel, so it's safe to say they've caught it here.

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.

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! 😁

You mean to tell me Hospitals aren’t empty like the cranks on FB are saying. 
 

Glad to hear things are looking more positive. Hats off to you all 👏🏻

Wish I could take some credit - but I'm not on the front line anymore! 

Those people staffing the COVID wards should get a medal of honour after this is all over!

Hi can you please explain about this new variant and the new mutation please?

I only caught it on the news earlier and posted above.

They do between 5-10% testing of the positives to check the type of virus so between 1000-2000 cases is reasonable estimate.

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.

I'd rather take my chances with COVID than stay in the Norbreck.

Just been announced: these new SA variant discoveries in the South East appear to be the latest variant of the Kent strain. Not imports from SA.
