Coronavirus

One thing they could do is to go all in on people wearing masks in public places.  Shop staff don't wear them , supermarkets are a joke and are able to afford staff on the door to stop wankers going in without one .

Ugh. We're supposed to be about 5-6 weeks behind France. I hope we use that time wisely and don't fuck around, like at the start of the pandemic when we could see what was coming, but hoped to get through it by British pluck. Still not convinced this is a 'second wave', it looks to be the first wave coming back as restrictions ease.

 

 

 

 

Add it to all the people saying why aren’t people getting hospitalised more in Spain since cases are rising, you can clearly see from this data that it takes time to spread to older people but it is how happening. Hospitalisations will follow.

I’m intending to invent a big box with a question mark on it and when you stand underneath it, jump up and head butt it, a flashing star with a smiley face pops out of the top and makes you invincible for a limited period of time. Then I’m aiming to replicate this on a grand scale so all of us great British people can enjoy Christmas properly. 
 

It’s a moonshot but I’ll do everything in my power to make it happen. 

Put me down for three of them.

Hard to understand why cases are rising so fast in France and Spain since you have to wear masks everywhere, even outside.

Yea, that is difficult to understand.

Have you worked out why the ONS reports over 51k dead from Covid yet?

Nobody ever said face masks are a full prevention SD.

MrsD has got a twat of a cough and has been sent home from her work. I am having to self isolate too until she can get a test done. When will that be? Well, Liverpool council have a stock for teachers so she's been referred to them.

This is classic Boris, the garden bridge, the bridge between NI and Scotland. In fact does 'Project Moonshot' include a bridge? No, that's not fair I'd forgotten about his international floating airport on the Thames.

I had never heard about this so I Googled it to see if it was a joke.

 

Reader, it was not.

Moon shot is necking the contents of a moon cup. Boris, you dirty dirty cunt.

My brains beyond hope but it might affect you

"A new study offers the first clear evidence that, in some people, the coronavirus invades brain cells, hijacking them to make copies of itself. The virus also seems to suck up all of the oxygen nearby, starving neighboring cells to death."

 

I mean, that doesn't sound great, to me.

I'm pretty sure I saw a video made by a US surgeon who had performed post mortems, he said there were examples of the brain being affected. I'll have to look it up but if the brain has ACE2 receptors, this would make sense.

 

Edit :

 

ACE2 is present in most organs: ACE2 is attached to the cell membrane of mainly lung type II alveolar cells, enterocytes of the small intestine, arterial and venous endothelial cells and arterial smooth muscle cells in most organs. ACE2 mRNA expression is also found in the cerebral cortex, striatum, hypothalamus, and brainstem.^[18] The expression of ACE2 in cortical neurons and glia make them susceptible to a SARS-CoV-2 attack, which was the possible basis of anosmia and incidences of neurological deficits seen in COVID-19.^[19] As anosmia and dysgeusia are seen early in many COVID-19 patients, it was suggested to be considered to be a heralding clue in COVID-19,^[20] which subsequently was declared as "significant symptoms" in COVID-19 by the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery.^[21]

Eh?

Nephews been sent home to isolate for 7 days. His mate who he went to a party with who goes to another school has got it.

Funny thing is his mate is a bit of a rogue pretended to have a cough at school,  they sent him home and so his dad took him for a test annoyed at his piss taking. Turns out he has got it, with no symptoms

If anyone needs as test and is getting sent miles away by the government website just check every half an hour. MrsD went from having to drive to Cumbria to getting one in Bootle walk in when she checked a bit later.

Second wave in Spain not coming to much. 

[Spy Bee]

And just to put those French numbers into context

 

[Spy Bee]

5000 people in hospital though? That's like 10 times what we have... I wonder if it is reported differently.

I think this is the 2nd update of figures from Zoe this week, it's usually weekly. Reassuring not wild at this point. All the way through the Zoe model has tracked way beyond the government stats, but I'm guessing this is about the same at the moment.

Mine now says the same number as you? Perhaps they're updating it daily at the moment and the number I grabbed was yesterday's?

I think they are, or at least more frequently than weekly.

 

Edit- it says daily here https://covid.joinzoe.com/data

This should fly up soon as people are getting normal colds. I've just had a right stinker.
