there will be a few on here hoping so. Will there be and why? Can't imagine there would be anyone on here wishing that.

Go on then, I'll bite. What exactly is Prince Charles working on from home? Sounds like our first proper case of a furloughed worker to me. Charlie and Cruella have fled North of the border to one of their holiday homes. The Scottish Govt have told the rest of us to stay away, and as I posted earlier, kicked people out and told them to leave Scotland and go home. I was going to put some remarks about the Royal family but can’t be bothered to cause an argument on here!😳 ⚓️ I don't think you'd cause much of an argument on here actually. I think we all acknowledge how hard the royal couple work and how they help maintain the prestige and worldwide soft power of the country (except for Randy Andy of course). Three cheers for Prince Charles. Hip hip......... Hooray Hip hip......... Hooray Hip hip......... Hooray

Almsot 10,000 confirmed cases. Almost 500 confirmed deaths. NHS on brink of collapse. Millions facing financial ruin due to companies dumping them on the scrapheap without pay. Families facing losing everything.
Headline on the radio just
"PRINCE CHARLES TESTS POSITIVE FOR CORONAVIRUS" followed by a piece discussing solely him and also Camilla.
Get in the fucking sea.

To be fair Abta were telling all and sundry 4 weeks ago that it was ok to go on cruises as the plague ship was sitting in the dock. I know this because I was chatting to a travel agent friend and telling her that there was no way I'd be getting on a boat under any circumstances or a plane for that matter as the Benidorm Half marathon was booked about three weeks back. Her response was to put her mobile phone in front of my face and scroll through pages of Abta advice saying travel was ok. Yes, I remember you posting it at the time and thinking that they were clearly only thinking about their top line and had zero concern for their customers. Having said that, if the government were telling them it was okay, then why should they think that it wasn't. It was business as usual for every government not just this one. Japan have only just accepted there won't be an Olympics this year. Just imagine the outcry if we went in all guns blazing and it turned out to be a damp squid like every other threat against civilisation as we know it in my lifetime. Stay safe and get your sorry ass back on the music thread

It's good to have this splashed over the front pages because it may well help to get the message across.

The message being, if you want to get tested, being a member of the Royal Family definitely helps!

They don't have any money. The bloke has been laid off from his job due to the coronavirus outbreak, so they don't have the money for the increased ticket prices (if the next flight booked for Friday cancels as well) or money to support them living there if they have to stay.
They need to find the British embassy Apparently they've already contacted the British embassy and haven't had any reply

The problem here is every time you update us we come back with loads more questions Sooo, any idea if the antibodies would protect against all mutated strains or only specifically against that strain that infected the person. Thanks

Really no idea where that comment has come from. They simply did what they should do in such a dilemma and haven't had a reply as yet. I simply responded to a post saying it's what they should do, to say they already have.

Not in the field of virology as such but most of the testing they are validating is molecular biology based which I do every day.

The problem here is every time you update us we come back with loads more questions Sooo, any idea if the antibodies would protect against all mutated strains or only specifically against that strain that infected the person. Thanks According to the scientists in Iceland, the strains identified have been very minor changes that wouldn’t necessarily correspond to a huge divergence in immunity. It also is mutating slowly so any vaccine is likely to be viable. It all depends on what the target of the test is it usually is some form of viral protein, that antibodies have been raised against. if that viral protein is common across all strains (a mutation can be literally one rna/dna base changing and having no functional difference) then it won’t matter what strain you have the test should work.

They’ve said people could go to places like Boots for it, or even do home testing via Amazon delivery. it looks like a simple finger prick test that produces a quick result.
