Apart from being part of the Conservative Party machine her actual experience appears to only been in the buisness world with large corporates and also with horses. It's been like this for ages in this country, put someone in charge of a department who has little or no experience, whilst people with lots of experience are sidelined, it's crazy utter sheer crazy.

redjambo Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 1 hour ago, CavySlaveJambo said: What normally happens over time with Viruses is they mutate. But they never mutate to become a more severe illness but a milder one. Over time that should also happen and that will also protect the NHS: That isn't true. Viruses can mutate to be a more deadly strain, or even one with simply a more severe non-fatal payload. It's not the case that all the viruses in the world mutate at once though. One particular virus in one particular location mutates and, if the conditions are correct, it may start spreading. However, if it is more deadly then its hosts will die more quickly and thus it propagates less well, contagiousness or aggressiveness being equal, than any less deadly strains which are out there. Thus the other strains become more prevalent. Competition is important amongst viruses. If what you were saying were true, then the flu would become milder each year. It doesn't. It is important to note that a virus will mutate every time it infects someone. It's just a question of whether that mutation is enough to affect the main characteristics of the virus or not. The vast majority of the time, it isn't. Sometimes it is enough however that the newly mutated virus can be considered a new "strain". That's how I see it anyway.

redjambo Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 1 hour ago, graygo said: The give a daily update on the number discharged, not too difficult to subtract the day before total if you want to. 5,292 inpatients who tested positive for COVID-19 have been discharged from hospital since 5 March How about the folk who are no longer considered to be in hospital due to Covid because they've been in for greater than the length of time under which they are counted as being Covid patients (with reference to the recent change in the Scottish hospital counting methodology that introduced this time period)? Genuine question. It's not always the case that someone in hospital gets dropped from the count because they die or they've been discharged. I guess that complicates things a little.

The 18 year old Bunnahabhain has just about the right measure of both imo. The deep roasted chestnut flavour that harks back to the aroma you'd get as you walked past the boy that used to punt them on Princes Street in the winter time. Not as peaty as many an Islay but more than rubust enough to fight back a bit. I have one of their single casks that I picked up from the SMWS about a decade ago. Bought three at the time but panned two of them. Utterly divine. Saving the last one for washing down the heroin and eccies when at some point in the hopefully distant future it becomes clear that I'm not long for this earth. Might be the perfect opportunity to break it out to wet your son's head. Congratulations, btw. A bottle of Vicks will surely work just as well on that final trip.

The Amazon driver knocks at our door, is he going against government guidelines as well or is he ok as long as he doesn't tell a joke? It's fecking ludicrous.

frankblack Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 2 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: Boots to start offering 12 min COVID tests in store, £120 a time. Apparently not for people who are displaying symptoms but those looking for ‘peace of mind’ The test is 97% accurate that doesn’t seem great to me but considering the problems with testing it might be not too bad. From a perception point of view when high street retailers are offering a test that takes 12 min, whilst the government offers a test with a results period of 0-7 days it doesn’t look good. I understand the testing is different but just a lot of people are going to go into intracacities of test. Who can afford to throw £120 at such a test?
