I hope that isn't just it. AFAIK, the G-Tech one was very simple the medical experts gave it the ok and the guy was claiming he could make 1,000s of them quickly.
I have to say if I need one, I think I would definitely prefer the Dyson one than that Oxford University design were showing off today. They might claim to be able to make 5,000 a week of them, but we know what shoddy work they are usually responsible for.
*To be fair they may not realise that Communism is over, yet
It's fascinating how Covid 19 spread....after it passed into community spreading...the virus was going to catch up with the world....

I am no doctor (in the medical sense), but logically it seems very unlikely that an activity that screws your lungs wouldn't make you worse off against a respiratory disease.
And the suggestion with Northern Italy contributory factors include shit air quality and high levels of smoking.
IIRC they're less likely to get it, but have much worse outcomes if they do.
He is obviously succeeding. The lower the published numbers, the higher the ReallyReal numbers are... simples.
Still, Harris is 310 for POTUS. Crazy. DYOR.
Carry on Up the White House....
he comes across like he's bladdered tonight...he can hardly talk
A lot of 'could' involved and headlines about testing kits in days.

Thought I caught something on the news but wasn't sure.
It speaks volumns for our country and how love trumps hate
And I think this is the start of a much more compassionate country, at least lets hope so
However as this virus shows China also needs to be challenged by the West to improve its sanitation and reduce its secrecy
It happened to my local volunteer hub.
Before I go to bed I just want to wish the very best to @Foxy and to thank him and his colleagues for all the work they do. Glad to hear that @GideonWise and @MaxPB are on the mend. And thoughts and prayers for @Charles.
It is greatest hits evening.
Who knew, he meant he was going to organise it himself?

I'm very curious...why do you think I was making a political point when I was querying NHS staff being unprotected?
I would have been equally appalled about the equipment members of my family have been given during a Labour Govt...probably more so because I would have expected a Labour Govt to have known better....
God knows how they will get him out of the oval office, but many people are going to lose their lives.

I think though it was looking at younger people with infections. It was cited by the Singapore University resources.

And back onto the stock market....

Floater posted before that you have confirmed that the PPE equipment is OK for NHS frontline staff....is that correct?
Not voting government back in after how they mishandled virus, will play on doorsteps at next election, like Iraq did in 2005.

- The first iteration of the novel coronavirus actually appeared at some point in mid 2019. As it was extremely infectious, millions of people round the world caught it.
- This form was unpleasant, but almost invariably harmless, and generally cleared up in a few days to a few weeks. As a result, no one noticed at the time, nobody bothered developing antibody tests, classifying it, etc.
- It then evolved into something quite nasty in Hubei, sometime in November 2019. The rapidly mounting death rate quickly brought it to the attention of the Chinese authorities.
- Since then, there have been a few further major variants, with quite variable levels of aggression and general nastiness/associated mortality.
- Crucially, having had one variant (including the first one) confers almost (but not complete) immunity for all the others.
I know this is entirely guesswork. But it seems like it fits all the facts we have. It explains why:
- the virus seems both incredibly infectious but also not to be spreading all that quickly
- there are wildly different death rates in different countries
- case rates seem to tail off after a while regardless of whether anyone does anything about it or not
- The Imperial vs Oxford modelling on number of cases - they're both right, only the latter are including all variants and the former only the nasty one
- The incredibly wide range of symptoms experienced by a range of people exposed to the the same disease, none of whom have any immunity to it
- I and a bunch of people I know had all the symptons months before anyoen in China did
What have I missed? The bat/pangolin research? Just a total failure to understand how epidemiology works?
I am surprised nobody from the Guardian has had a word.
I hope your family get the PPE they need and just a little personal point, my dear niece and her husband have both gone down with covid 19 and are making a slow and painful recovery
I have a good friend in St Thomas's...I will name this...who is working on a respiratory ward who is given the right equipment....
I was surprised too hear Floater telling me that Fox has said that all is well
BBC doesn't appear to have the figures though others do.

Population samples from China, Italy, Iceland and the U.S. provide relevant evidence. On or around Jan. 31, countries sent planes to evacuate citizens from Wuhan, China. When those planes landed, the passengers were tested for Covid-19 and quarantined. After 14 days, the percentage who tested positive was 0.9%. If this was the prevalence in the greater Wuhan area on Jan. 31, then, with a population of about 20 million, greater Wuhan had 178,000 infections, about 30-fold more than the number of reported cases. The fatality rate, then, would be at least 10-fold lower than estimates based on reported cases.
