Matt Hancock - "The positivity rate from Bangladesh and Pakistan was 3x higher than that from India..."

When those 2 countries were put on the red list on 2nd April 2021.

Actual positivity rate of travellers from each country in the preceding week, used to back-up placing Bangladesh & Pakistan on the red list:

"****ing useless" is probably a generous way of describing a serial liar.

I read that Seymour.  Calum Semple iirc. He's been predicting from Day 1 that the sky would fall in. Thinks we'll have a miserable July, August & winter. Other respiratory viruses this time. When the new Covid symptoms turn out to be runny noses, they start scaremongering about other viruses. Utterly pathetic.

Really positive stats there, M. Rouge. 

 

The sort of folk who should be catching the virus, those who should be out there, living there lives to the full now that the pandemic has passed, are indeed doing so, while the oldies must be mostly either a) safely tucked away or b) completely immune thanks to their double shot of Gatesorade.

 

Meanwhile, as the age groups with high 'cases' now begin getting their second doses, we can expect these numbers to fall over the summer. That is, unless the increasingly sinister drive to test everyone, every day, with or without symptoms, continues. In which case we'll be going around in circles for years to come.

 

Folk will still suffer, folk will still die - that's as inevitable as anything else in our lives. There are countless ways to die, many of which are preventable but without the sexiness and mystique of the old CV19. And yet we lived our lives in spite of these. Talk of waves and measures really ought to be left behind closed SAGE-ey type doors now and the normal folk allowed to move on.

The disbandment of SAGE would be worth raising a glass to.

My niece and all her mates from school have tested positive in the past week (most with absolutely no symptoms), as have half of the youngsters at the supermarket where she works part time.

A couple of folk have tested positive after the, erm, heated exchanges of words that took place between 3 Rifles and the locals in the Goodies on Friday night too.

 

Auld Reekie will be snatching top spot from Scumdee before the fortnight is out.

 

 

Guv, I remember back around 1982 when the Paras were based at Redford, there used to be talk of regular scraps with the locals up at the Goodies. I was only a laddie at the time but I remember hearing about it.

Yes you know it’s an issue when they are now desperate with the runny nose symptoms ! Jezz . My friend who tested positive on Friday with those LFT says was fine but it def felt like a cold / runny nose / shivers and that was that . He’s now on road to “

Yes, it was tongue in cheek, of course we need to maintain them but in a back office role. It should be made clear to them that their role is advisory and they don't dance in the spotlight. 

The modelling is nonsensical as it always assumes that all those susceptible, whether they be non-vaccinated or whatever, will catch Covid. The most ridiculous line during this entire pandemic has been "the virus will find those who are susceptible ". Nonsense. Most of those people will not be anywhere near someone else who is positive. It doesn't factor in the low risk you have of catching it, vaccinated or not.

Actually I blamed SAGE there, although as you say they've been vocal about a miserable winter and court lockdown, however it wasn't them it was some Dr from PHE Dr Susan Hopkins, strategic response director. She's worried the NHS get overwhelmed.  Not very good at her job would be my suggestion.

That chart and the age groups published by governments do my head in.  When shown as a graphical representation, it is misleading in identifying the age group with highest infection rate.

 

0-14 - 15 year range

15-19 - 5 year range

20-24 - 5 year range

25-44 - 20 year range

45-64 - 20 year range

65-74 - 10 year range

75-84 - 10 year range

 

Multiply the 15-19 or 20-24 range by four to give a better comparison with the 25-44 age group and you will find that the infection rate is greater in those age groups.

I read someone near the top of SAGE getting very defensive about criticism of the media and the public's failure to understand that criticism of the  predictions of 200000 or 150000 or whatever deaths in a third wave misunderstood that these were not predictions but estimates of reasonable worst case outcomes. It seems to me that shows the limitations of "the science" and experts. If they put out such numbers they will inevitably generate scary misleading headlines.  Maybe that is their intention but they cannot complain about misrepresentation when their public forecasts are not clearly accompanied by probabilities or levels of confidence but just "coulds" and "mays" and "mights".

I've been drinking in the Colinton Inn since I moved to the area in 1982.  I don't think that they were actually banned from the Colinton Inn, although the Royal Scot/Spylaw Tavern down the road may have done so.

 

I know that they kept the phone number for the Military Police behind the bar at the Colinton Inn.  The squaddies were reluctant to go as far as to get everyone banned from the pub, so any issues were quickly resolved, certainly when Mary McCabe, Brian/Jane McCann and Gordon Hendry ran the pub.

What constitutes a case - an asymptomatic person who tests positive using either of the flawed tests? 

 

PCR tests - the inventor said they shouldn't be used as a diagnostic tool and despite what "fact checking" sites say, he's on video stating this.

 

One of the world's most prominent and successful lawyers, Reiner Fullmich, with the help of around 300 others, is using these flawed tests as the basis for multiple lawsuits worldwide. 

 

Lateral flow tests - slated by the CDC in America because they're unreliable and not fit for use over there. Still being used in the UK in their millions though. 

 

It takes a few minutes of research to find the above online. 

 

It's worth questioning the mainstream media narrative.

But the modelling is flawed, worst case or not. Hospitals were cleared during the first wave due to the modelling, causing thousands to die in care homes when untested patients were transferred. 

The flawed modelling assumed, and still does a ridiculous level of population susceptibility to the virus.

Had we not locked down, nowhere near 80% of the population would have caught Covid.

It's entirely provable. You just need to look at the graphs of the rapidly rising case numbers suddenly flattening out and dropping once lockdown measures were put in place.

[Victorian]

"The claim that the worst case didn't happen because of actions taken (or in the latest case not taken) is of course unprovable"

 

This is true.  It isn't possible to prove that measures taken is the reason why a worst case or near worst case scenario was avoided.  There may be other reasons why a worst case scenario did not occur.  But it is at least as equally true that it is impossible to prove that measures taken did not prevent a worst case occurring.  It cannot be proved either way.  It's essentially one of those unprovable things that only needs a bit of common sense.  Sadly lacking in some and conveniently under employed in some anaw.

Heavy rain is forecast today. A reasonable worst case assumption is that I will get absolutely soaked if I go out without an umbrella, I take an umbrella but the forecast proves to be wrong and it is dry. Proof that my umbrella saved me from getting soaked?

And even if it did rain, as forecast, it may turn out to be nothing more than drizzle, rather than the thunderstorm forecast. In that situation, the hassle of carrying an umbrella about all day may well have been deemed disproportionate to the risk of being caught by the drizzle.

There have been roughly 1000 - 1200 daily cases for a wee while now.

Hospital and ICU numbers are fairly steady and deaths are very low.

 

I think we are in a wave, but nothing like previous ones

It's the positivity (highest for ages) and the numbers in hospital - rising fast which are the worries.

 

I agree re deaths but we will see a few more if hospital numbers continue to rise
