I'm glad someone else sees some common sense. I'd go further and say there is certainly some nonsense being spread about masks and people are wearing them out of fear.

At least I don't fly in a fecking circle if I have to choose a wing ya daft cnut
oh my god that was an amazing comeback. Your cheque is in the post!Sir Winston Churchill: "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end, but it's perhaps the end of the beginning."
Infectious disease expert Michael Osterholm, who has been warning for a decade and a half about the possibility of a global pandemic, says there will most likely be 800,000 COVID-deaths in the US in the next 18 months.
Fascinating interview. Sorry if already shared.

we could debate 1 and 2 all day, but 3 - people need to eat. I live alone - my family are in another country and I have no neighbours. Should I die?
No, you should have enough essentials to keep yourself fed while you self quarantine. Or try to order food for delivery.
Fecking droplets. How do they work?
If we keep on reading press releases about every single candidate getting through pre-clinical development it’s going to be a tough few years.
Think of the most excruciatingly prolonged Ronaldunho/Sneijder/Hazard to United transfer saga, only with a thousand different players linked to us, each eventually joining other clubs until only one or two are left. Over a period of several years. And those one or two players could still end up gazumped by Real Madrid after signing a Manchester United shirt and liking Pogba’s posts on Instagram.
There's no debate about 1 and 2. It does cause concern and stoke fear walking around like that. As for 2, I get togged up in the full PPE a few times a day at the moment, so I know we don't need hazmat suits and gasmasks.
You can get friends to deliver food, you can get food deliveries, you should have enough basic essentials, this has been ongoing for a couple of months now. It's only 1 week you self quarantine for when positive. Anyway, the guy was with his (I presume) wife.
Totally agree, but not sure about the analogy
Any new drug made has to pass the safety/efficacy clinical trials, you can't just cut straight to the endgame!
What?

Are you serious?
When you want US cops to be trigger-happy, they're not. Typical...
When did Matt Lucas become a police officer?!
Arrived today, very easy/obvious to use. Says I'm currently 98/99% when resting. Which sounds good to me. Not sure if it ever says anything different, like if I was actually ill. Still, it looks good to me and told me what I was expecting to see.
But we dont got shelterinees
mu'rights!
mu'rights!
I was bored of COVID19 until seeing this more please!

more please!Say what?
I’d heard about this, it hits home. It’s my local hospital, I was born there and so was my son. My Mum (isolating, COPD) is normally there daily assessing children and my sister is now there daily after being redeployed from another care facility.
Literally spending the days crossing our fingers at this point.
So he'd gone full hazmat but she hadn't?
Was she wearing a mask we at all or even looking suitably embarrassed by the whole thing?
Shelterinees. Like shelters but smaller.
Just open everything up and let what happens happen. Bored now. Next.
Ahh OK. Still doesn't make fecking sense to me. I'm off to bed.
It is 70-80% effective against the most severe forms of TB. Less so for milder strains.
Simpson's reference
On a side note, BCG was an absolute cnut of an injection that took ages to heal.
Thank you. Great interview.
Possibly a stupid question but what would "Other" likely be?
Homeless people on the street? Doctors' offices? Prisons?

I have been thinking about the damage that a lack of screening and elective surgeries will cause and sure enough, there is an article on it:

A shame there is not any hard data on expected years lost due to the coronavirus. Big-picture wise, lockdowns may actually be the greater of two evils.

The test was more annoying than the actual injection if I remember.
