    [Politics] Priti Patel thanks Front line NHS staff by increasing their immigration health surcharge

    It actually makes you ashamed or at least it should. "Thanks for your bravery - here is the bill."

    Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    This. The test is for antibodies and apparently is very accurate in correctly saying if they are present or not. It cannot possibly tell if you have had covid 19 and not produced antibodies.

    This. Also I believe (but happy to be corrected) that imposing border controls on irish body woul breach the good friday agreement.

    Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    Entirely suspect. I assume "101" is meant to be "111" ie nhs direct who have no role in telling parents to send children to school. June 1 is the earliest date for return of reception, year 1 and year 6 only. I doubt any school is able to tell children they must return on 1 June as no date is...

    [Football] Premier League / Football League attempts to finish the season

    Rose is no doubt conscious of the established fact that BAME people are in more danger from the virus. I hope the PL money men have taken account of that. Whatever happens the absolute bottom line must be that no player is penalised for refusing to play in these circumstances.

    How do you think Boris has handled it so far ? 8th May

    Any poll reflects opinion at the time its done. Professional pollsters repeat poll all the time. The point is to see if opinions change as people experience what happens. Of course the pollster may be biassed but asking the same question is the right approach. Clearly you dont like the answer -...

    How long do you think this shit will go on and what happens if its really long?

    The science relating to children getting and passing on the virus appears very uncertain. The latest view appears to be they are not key carriers but I have not seen the evidence. Teachers are not in the same position as nhs staff because the latter are dealing with seriouly ill people all the...

    But on a ferry you cant stay in your car and on many the outside space is quite limited.

    How do you think Boris has handled it so far ?

    They cant. Surely they are shops which sti stay closed. They cant socially distance either

    Roadmap out of lockdown

    And the evidence for this is.....purely anecdotal? Whereas evidence from polls and govt briefings suggest 95% compliance.

    Roadmap out of lockdown

    I am puzzled that so many are ssying many people are breaking the lockdown. Its not that I am sayong they are wrong its just that my experience is so different. I was at Hove lagoon today a place you might think would show lockdown at its worst given the great weather and the beach. But while we...

    Roadmap out of lockdown

    I dont much care who announces to whom but the trailing of the likely change before the public holiday was either stupid or deliberately designed to incite people to break the current rules prematurely. Maybe one of the ministers in the lets finish the lockdown quick group thought he could...

    Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    This exactly. To be valid any theory has to have evidence to support it and that properly deals with objections. There is no evidence that 5g (or any g for that matter) can in anyway affect viruses. Just because someone believes it does is not evidence and does not mean we have to spend time...

    [Football] The “No Relegation” debate

    If football were a real business where clubs that ade losses went out of business as in the real world they do the argument of treating it the same would stand up. Actually football has forever lived in a bubble where the real impact of profit and loss somehow doesnt apply. The only reason...

    [Football] Premier League / Football League attempts to finish the season

    Where does this image of masses of people just waiting to break all the social distancing rules come from. As far as I can tell from anecdote and polls more people are scared of relaxing the lockdown than are gagging to break it.

    Contact Tracing App

    Frankly I am not sure how Cummings comes into this. I believe that the only data you input into the app first is the 1st part of a postcode. You then report symptoms if you get them so anyone in close contact with your phone with the app is wwarned to isolate. You can then ask to be tested via...

    The official Corona virus C**T list

    Good to see someone still suggesting baby boomers all voted for brexit😷. For avoidance of doubt neither I nor around 20 of my friendship circle did so. Nor do I see evidence of that group ignoring the rules rather they seem understandably keener on maintaining distance. Can we stop with the...

    If it does start up again whenever I reccommend the Portsmouth to Bilbao crossing. 24 hrs and sometimes whale watching.
