I dont want to pay more tax so yes, I'll be on cash work foreigners a lot after this, they are working us to the bone and bleeding us dry for our efforts allready, more so with the tax hikes and double N.I they will put in place after this has finished. Maybe though if we didnt send £130 billion pounds out in the name of aid in the last ten years we wouldn't need to resort to draconian measures. Look how much we threw into the E.U, one of the biggest contributors, When this is over its slave britain, double tax and double N.I. It is selfish individuals like you that give the self- employed a bad reputation, I don't suppose you will reduce your use of public services and facilities to make up for you stealing from the public purse. I pay enough in taxes, it's not my fault they waste it

I’ve not heard anything since Whitty’s update a couple of days ago. You might have heard talk of an “antigen” test but that’s another form of diagnosis (faster than traditional pcr) of a live case rather than immunity like the antibody test. So I assume it’s still being validated, hopefully NHS staff start getting it in thenmext couple of weeks. We have 3.5 million ordered in though. Back with some more lay-man's thoughts If these 'underlying health conditions' have the effect of suppressing the natural immune system, is there any way that 'at risk' groups could have their immunity boosted? It wouldn't stop them catching it but may reduce the effects/mortality. I'd start charging by the response here mate Because we don’t know the full pathological effects of Covid, any attempt to boost immunity (which is difficult anyway) or treat without guidance or evidence may be misguided, we’ve seen with something as simple as ibuprofen it’s been recorded as having negative effects. For many people it’s not that their immune system is suppressed, it’s the fact their condition say (COPD) is particularly exacerbated by the respiratory conditions of COVID. COPD is hard enough to manage as is, nevermind with a serious infection on top. For some people, boosting the immune system could also be clinically disastrous as their conditions are caused by the body attacking itself, particularly with stuff like Crohn’s disease. Finally it’s well worth noting, no one has immunity to this, it’s a new disease and if you come into contact with it you will get it, so even if you have the best immune system in the world, it doesn’t have antibodies to this, they will only be created by exposure or an eventual vaccine. The only thing that changes is that your response will be better in suppressing it, but each case would have to be viewed individually, there are no one size fits all treatments atm. So that’s why the best form of immunity “boost” as it were for those at risk is isolation until the transmission chains are severely disrupted or a vaccine is viable.

I was just going to post this Crouch, people have asked for clarity from the government....the basic conditions have been made clear, the problem is that some people do not stick to them. It's perhaps hard for some to comprehend, but perhaps there is only so much that the government can do.

The article is pretty correct. It should mention that the authority The People Health Agency actually WANT as many of the swedes as possible to get this, and the sooner the better now. That's why. Addition: A lady representing the business sector in some way, on National tv the other night, said something like this on prime time "We shouldn't have any restrictions at all regarding the Corona virus. It's worse to close down the society and companies can't survive. What will that lead to? Even more deaths through suicide than Corona would cause. Yeah, it is tragic with all the death cases, but that's the way life is". That is the strong force the leaders and The People Health Agency have to fight simultaneously. Another thing that makes it difficult for them actually is the fact they aren't closing down the schools, or The Swedish Mountain resort activities this Easter period coming. Why? Because the crimes would go up by several hundred %, they say. Fantastic, isn't it?! In Sweden "the leaders" let the young criminals rule and decide, not only when crimes are commited, but also when no crime has happened. The only country in the world.

Why? It’s uplifting for the soul to see beauty. Do they cross infect anyone while driving there? When they park right behind another car and get out are they at least 6 ft away from others? When they are walking in a field, are they touching grocery items that someone else has just touched, using a pin pad that 1000’s have used that day? I’ve heard of people disinfecting their credit cards, but has anyone disinfected their wallet? While it is necessary to buy supplies, I think you are far less likely to be exposed to a virus while walking through the countryside than through your local supermarket. The point is that should they have a road traffic accident on the way there or back they will be using up much needed resources, this is mentioned numerous times further up the thread and is common sense really. Probably more likely to have an accident driving through an urban area.

It’s a puzzle and one they’ll have to work out as they go, but they know lockdown isn’t sustainable, that’s why the antibody test is being fast tracked, get that going and we may finally be able to identify just how many people have had it and what the feasible strategy is moving forward. At this point, I don’t see how they can accurately say where we stand. The people who may be most effected will be those most at risk though, I can’t see even how with mass antibody testing how you get those people back into society safely, it may be their lockdown has to last much longer but that’s not feasible at all and any further outbreak to that population risks so many lives. It’s a real puzzle.

Also, all treatments have side effects and a full risk assessment of these would have to be taken before they begin any rollout. It’s also important that these drugs would only ameliorate cases in hospital, they wouldn’t stop a spread but they would potentially help those in hospital with the disease. But we’d still need very careful monitoring of the spread of any local outbreaks. With viruses, the first line of defence is always prophylaxis like a vaccine, but therapeutics would help to save a lot more people and potentially free up key resources like ventilators etc as severe cases with treatment become mild and so on. That story also confirms, the vaccine target for one trial is one of the viral proteins, this would indicate it will be pretty stable and not at risk of heavily mutating. Promising.
