Mutating Corona Virus

[honeybee13]

I hadn't seen that about South Africa, TJ.

[tobyjugg2]

Sold a million doses out of 1.5 million apparently

 

Whats happened to the other 250,000+ unused remains unclear

A little reminder

 

Its now even more illegal to leave Britain without permission from the UK gov than it is to kiss your grandma, or for your granny to chat over a socially distanced cup of tea with a neighbour in a shared garden

.. and dont forget to hide if you see police when you are more than 800 yards from home, and run like the wind if you are at a park or beauty spot and see one (unless your name is Cummings)

 

and Police are in our schools at the beck, call or even unreasonable whims of teachers to intimidate and threaten children without the childs parents being present, or apparently even any just cause

 

Offer your thanks to Boris 'the Liar' Johnson and Pritti (monstrous) Patel

Don't forget that if the College of Policing guidelines are cleaed by Court of Appeal  in the Miller case, your prinmary school or nurdery/infant shool child can have a Non Crime Crime hate incident recorded againstmthem for incorrect use of pronouns whan the teacher reports them to police, Age of Criminal Responsibility inapplicable as is a Non Crime hate Incident non crime sort of thing.

I see the Virolens 20 second test has been approved by the UK

.. another rumoured to be associated with Cummings and Johnsons Operation Bull... err moonsh*t

Expect over claiming and under performing - but that it is another useful tool is likely

Has a history of over claiming, just like the O/AZ vaccine and was pulled up by the FT (paywalled) see links below

Just as wrong as the Irish baker case first judgement

 

Excuse me Sir,

SIR!!!  'HATE CRIME' arrest him.

 

How many separate toilets and changing rooms will we need I wonder?

If being offended is an offence by the person who offended me

then why arnt Johnson, Handcock, Jenrick, Patel, Gove, duncan-smith, Smugg, Corbyn and Baxter all serving life with hard labour

 

They have all offended me far more than anyone calling me a Jessy or even 'Sir' (whatever my orientation)

Booster jabs for over-70s from September

Others in top four priority groups to also receive protection against new Covid variants, says vaccines minister

 

phuut

They've got to get their second jabs yet - if that hasn't already gone out of the window

and given the reports on what some of the newer variants of cov-2 do, everyone will need a 'booster' shot.

Oh - and seems the Police mostly still resistant to being a party to creating monster Patels Police state

No holidaymakers arrested at airports in England despite Priti Patel’s coronavirus crackdown

Exclusive: Figures obtained by The Independent show zero arrests since holiday ‘ban’, as police say they will not stop people leaving the country

I don't blame them in a way, it's the Border Force's job. The police don't have the numbers to oversee everything related to Covid.

[honeybee13]

How dare Boris Johnson suggest that people working from home have too many 'days off'! The people I know are doing more hours than before.

 

It was the same last year, ministers were threatening that people would lose their jobs if they didn't return to offices. Very shortly afterwards they were saying to stay at home again because there was a second wave coming. They're completely out of touch with the real world.

This was published just under a week ago with a graph of how many vaccines were produced by which countries up to 3rd March.

 

https://www.statista.com/chart/24492/total-covid-19-vaccine-production-by-country/

[tobyjugg2]

Wonder if theres one showing how many exported/shared with other nations?

 

If UK made 12 million

exported/shared zero

Had 5 million from India

Had 21 million from EU

Inoculated 30ish million UK citizens

 

Means it has 8 million in /stock - any spoiled

 

[honeybee13]

I did see a graph the other day that shows production and exports but I can't find it atm. I know it showed the UK and US exporting zero doses.

[honeybee13]

Found it. I can't find out when it was published but the figures look fairly recent.

 

[tobyjugg2]

Hardly any moral high-ground, or even mid-ground for Johnson the Liar there eh?

 

As an aside the anti- covid nose sprays are starting to come out of the woodwork in their droves, with an aussie one authorised for UK sale through Lloyds pharmacy.

I do recall that the established 'first defence ' (or something like) nose spray was presented as somewhat effective against covid.

 

[honeybee13]

Are you saying the sprays could be the same thing, TJ? I haven't read what you're referring to about First Defence.

The DHSC are building another huge database of patient information, symptoms, test results and so on, in addition to the Palantir that some commentators are worried about.

 

https://bylinetimes.com/2021/03/29/covid-19-healthcare-agency-the-mother-of-all-health-databases/

 

I'm not sure if you can ask to be excluded from it like a previous database but people can send an SAR to know their details. Unless it's blocked by the secretive Cabinet Office FoI unit...

[honeybee13]

Anthony Costello of Indy Sage has written an article about the problems with Test and Trace and the consequences of that. He's not impressed with it. £37m...

Interesting that the new mutated versions are popping up, and rightly generating surge testing to ensure (we hope) they dont spread, despite certain parties claiming theres no extra risk - - -  yeah right

Same versions also popping up in Europe and USA among other places.

 

Seems to me we aren't being hit so hard for a couple of reasons

1. We've been in a far more severe and obeyed lockdown (with cops harassing people for just travelling a few miles or talking over a fence)

(A number of reports state that is the MAIN reason for the reduction in cases)

 

2. We have more people inoculated (early ones + NHS with the more effective (as I see) pfiser vaccine)

Although many of those were and still are isolation either for health reasons, they dont go out much anyway, or they are the survivors remaining in care homes.

 

So we are coming out of lockdownI

* Apparently FEW people coming into the country are actually isolating, and Johnson senior and that ilk can still gad about abroad with a mask on their chin.

 

* We are now apparently almost exclusively using a vaccine with a significantly lower effectiveness (as I see), with even that in short supply, and which apparently has far lower effectiveness against the new variants.

 

* People again being pressed to return to work places - even when its not just not necessary - but a burden and risk to the staff and employers - apparently just to get people into high street shops in city centers!!

 

Shop staff coming into contact with 100's of people a day every day still have NOT been given preferential access to the vaccine

According to the Byline Times, HMG ignored warnings from scientists about Covid spreading via schools when they reopened and caved in to pressure from a parents lobbying group connected to the Tory party.

Legal action? - He could have just changed the law ....

As he does when it suites him

 

Of course, what he should have done is manage it properly not just send kids and staff back to 'socially distance' in normal class sizes when he was threatened by his donars

'Just' the 15-64 yo excess deaths - bearing in mind that flu deaths have reduced ..

"as long as it doesn’t deliver its commitment to us, the doses stay in Europe — except for Covax,” he said. Covax is an international vaccine programme that is aimed at delivering vaccines mainly to poor countries.

 

He said they are just trying to make sure that AstraZeneca’s contract with the EU “is delivered — and of course we are here to also help our British friends … But we have nothing to negotiate.”"
