Starmer tried at PMQ's on Wednesday.

PMQs is a waste of time these days. I doubt the vast majority of the voting public take any notice of it.

If the media reported it properly then they would.

I agree. 

The media manipulate it to suit their own narrative as well.

Yup. Imagine the outrage if Labour had spent £130 million on ppe that apparently hadn't been given to any front line workers. Perfect chance yesterday for headline coverage, especially on the bbc, but nothing.

Have a bit of a cough again and went for one of those fastvtests yesterday. It came back negative but said if you have symptoms you needed another test. Rang the helpline and they said I shouldn't have had a rapid test because I had symptoms and had to another normal test. I gagged more than Lottie Lovelace yesterday. 

 

Now I'm off waiting for my results, feeling like shite. My dog has kennel cough too which just confirms the ET/Elliot like connection we have. 

Sounds like the bad Aids

Have you been bumming your dog?

The trend on the Zoe app for the North West is looking a lot better.

I am a big fan of PMQs. Holds the Government to account on a weekly basis. Every PM says it’s the worse day of their week. Not many other Governments do it. 

They don't get held to account though. They literally never answer a straight question.

I used to have a lecturer at university who was from Nigeria. He was always going on saying he couldn't believe how lucky we were to have televised parliament. Because we were 18 year old alcoholics we mostly ignored him, but he was right.

493 deaths today Spy Bee, would you agree that we are seeing a second wave?

Spy Bee did you see this reply to you last night?

Nope

Ok, you have now. Can I have an answer at all?

Nope

Surely that is an  ' Absolute maximum ' figure ?

I'm not Prime Minister

I was joking

 

While we are on that subject though... it's amusing to see that nobody has tackled the detail of the charts I posted this morning.

It's not clear what the graphs and data show apart from there being loads of excess deaths which we know anyway

There isn't much point engaging with you because, at this stage, you're semi-delusional 

We have almost 600 people dying a day and you're still banging on about bollocks pushed by the likes of Farage, Trump and the grifters like Sikora and that other Twitter nonce who used to work in pharma

It is quite clear.

 

So I post graphs based on factual data, and you call me delusional and try and compare me to nonces. Sound.

As Dougie said, it's a waste of time and will continue to be so until you get a PM who is confident enough with his policies to respond to scrutiny in a coherent and positive way, whether you agree with them or not.

 

With the present shyster, you get neither of those things and I think the speaker is partly to blame for not bringing him to book for it.

So Eat Out was estimated to have lead to a fifth of the infection rates from the summer onwards and so Rishi thinks it's a great idea to do similar in the new year.

 

That makes complete sense.

Spain have announced that they will soon begin to demand a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before departure from all travelers coming from countries in high coronavirus risk zones. 

 

If more countries do this, the test refuseniks will swiftly change their tune. 

[TheHowieLama]

Pfizer is projecting their vaccine available to the general public in May.

[ZonkoVille77]

I'll wait until my boss at work gets the vaccine, then I'll consider it. If it's defective I'd like him to be the one to find out.

249 positive cases out of 42,233 asymptomatic people tested during the Liverpool testing trial over the weekend.

So over 0.5% of those tested were walking around the city infected without knowing. Simple (if perhaps not scientific) extrapolation for the whole country meaning up to 335,000 current asymptomatic cases in the UK.

Simple answer would be yes, it appears so. The thing is, the data is so shite, it's hard to know. NO doubt a lot of people are being tested positive for Covid, but how many are symptomatic? How many are actually dying form it? We don't know because the collection and management of the data is so poor.

 

As I alluded to with the graphs, why are all other causes dropping in proportion with Covid deaths increasing? 

 

I still think it's a thing, I still think it's dangerous to some people, but the actual prevalence is so hard to know.

Is this with the new tests? If so it's likely that they missed a third of positives, so that's half a million people walking round with it without any symptoms.
