Game changer? Only if it can be supplied at mass scale. Literally millions of them available and easy to get. They'll probably **** it up.

Ray Gin Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 18 hours ago, Nucky Thompson said: The new variant is responsible for 62% of cases and 34% of hospitalisations in London So does that mean it's less harmful? The old variant must be responsible for the 0ther 38% of cases and 66% of hospitalisations. Or am I not getting something? also, the estimated transmissibility of this latest mutated version is based on government modelling and has not been confirmed in lab experiments How UK was able to detect new coronavirus variant so quickly | The Independent Maybe they mean 34% of all hospitalisations, not just Covid hospitalisations? 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 When you have just spent time in a supermarket where social distancing is simply a faded memory it perhaps puts her actions into context To be fair masks are everywhere but it was just like visiting pre covid Every one of the people who were there contributed more to the risk of spreading covid than any action she took. When however you are the person leading the fight you do need to be seen to be squeaky clean and she has dropped those standards. It will be more difficult for her to sell the message to the public and expect them to blandly accept it The other problem is her aligning herself to Boris and this new strain when it is not clear the impact and some of the stats quoted don't stand up to scrutiny....the nonsense about 70% is being quoted as if it is true when it was simply a possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the same as those. These people deliberately ignored the rules because they are arrogant and don't think the rules apply to them. NS just forgot for a short spell in the way that we all probably have. Might even make her more popular as people will see she is actually human.

I wonder if these are the kits Mrs JJ is going to get, as they have been told that they are to test themselves twice a week at home, all she knows is that they are easy to use, they haven't got the kits yet so I'll not be holding my breath until she get's them. After 10 months it looks like NHS staff are finally going to be tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmiyaHearts Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I've heard from two different sources today that the Lockdown could last until March / April. Wondering if anyone else has heard similar? My wife has a customer who's an NHS manager and he told her this morning it will likely last until March. So, I thought I would message my mate, who works at Vicky Infirmary and he messaged me this: Buzzing at this prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
