As far as I can see from the article, one student has had a case bad enough to be in ICU.
Given that the previous argument was no one under 30 was suffering any real symptoms its nice to see the argument has changed slightly.
Only a 1 in 50 chance of ending up in the ICU!
Must be less than that, considering there has been a further 1600 cases amongst students in Newcastle in the past week, on top of the 700 odd last week.
Warwick University being the University of Coventry, right?
Yes. It's clearly a dump as it was only founded in the 1960s, it's not as old as a former poly.
The University of Coventry only became a University in 1992 and Warwick was ranked the 9th best university in the UK last year by the Times out of 126.

Those on the right who want a herd immunity strategy are vastly outnumbered by those who want tighter regulation and on this Boris is nearer public opinion than ERG and others
Biologically we can't avoid herd immunity. We either get it disproportionately among the younger and fitter or we spread it evenly across the population. In the 2nd. case, more people die.
This was the cause of the Great Barrington Declaration (of the bleeding obvious.) Because it's led by professors from three leading universities, i.e. Oxford, Harvard and Stanford, BBC R4 news covered it.
Also I'm not of the right and I object to the idea that party politics has anything to do with it. It's about empirical evidence on how best to minimise deaths and get back to life as normal.
And it is not where the public are
'Do not kill Granny' is a very powerful slogan

SKS siding with the farmers who put giant "Vote Conservative" placards in their fields at election time.
That's my membership card in the bin.

I think SKS is being quite canny here. Yes, he's siding with the farmers. But he's also siding with all the people who eat food. Which is really quite a lot of people.....
It is often said that the diet preferred by social groups c2s and ds is nutritionally speaking s***. When chlorinated chicken from the USA becomes available, they might be less than pleased to discover they are actually eating genuine excrement.
Have you ever been to the US?
People aren't eating excrement there, the hysteria over chlorinated chicken is absolutely absurd.
I know we have gone around this loop a hundred times but the issue with chlorinated chicken is not the quality of the meat but the welfare standards that require the chlorination.
But the nail never quite goes all the way in so you need to keep at it. Day after day after day you hammer. Such is the essence of an internet politics forum.
Yes, the argument that in 150 years time will sound like
"MY slaves sleep on the finest luxury mattresses, if we do a deal with that horrific fellow, they'll be sleeping on straw!"
7 day rolling average admissions on NE&Y up 51% on the week. (R=1.25).
On this trajectory it would top the previous 7 day regional admissions level (1-7/4) on 29/10. I suspect, though, with a different Yorkshire (more) Vs NE (less) split (iirc, I think NHS wise this covers Cumbria too).
To clarify - the 7 day rolling average NE&Y hospital admissions for 21-27/10 would exceed the previous high of 1-7/4 on current trajectory. (2 days sooner than I stated as last data was for 5/10 and I'd originally counted from yesterday).
On the same measure 7 day average NW hospital admissions increased by 58% last week (R=1.30), an on trajectory would exceed the previous high (again from 1-7/4) by 17-23/10.
Final comparison, London 16x lower than its peak admissions (30/3-5/4), increased by 14% last week, so on that trajectory would not exceed until March. Of course, with a low exponent over such a long time, the margin of error here is considerably more than for an event just over 2 weeks away.

Those on triple locked pensions who will never have to pay taxes again are very free with their 'economic packages' I notice///
As an elderly pensioner I do not support the triple lock in this crisis
For us to receive a 2.5% pension increase next year is wrong and I hope Rishi reduces it or stops it
How about a 5 per cent cut?
Seeing as many are losing their livelihoods completely?
I`d do it through income tax rate bands. At present, income over £50k taxed at 40%. Introduce different bandings for 65+ so that, for example, 40% starts at £30k. And extend NI regime past retirement age.
Sorry ou OT by accident I’d take one or the other but both.....
Boom. Looks like State Aid will be wrapped up in next week and then there'll be a political call on fish very late doors. We should be ok.
"One EU source said that Mr Barnier had told diplomats: “Maintaining the status quo in UK waters will not be feasible. So the most concerned member states will need to explore room to move towards the UK in terms of quota allocation; provided the UK meets the EU on governance and state aid.”
This fills me with dread. I'm going to reserve judgement until we know what kind of agreement has been struck on the LPF, if it's anything like what the EU were asking for then I'll probably join whichever party pops up to abrogate the trade treaty.
If its what the EU were originally asking for it is absolutely unacceptable.
If its closer to what we agreed with the Japanese that is eminently agreeable.
The EU and the CJEU can not be the arbiters of it. Any arbitration must be neutral.
I hope you are horrified by the deal
What a petty attitude.
I think you misunderstand the comment, which simply means that nichomar’s wishes for a settlement are very different from Philip’s.
Any sensible person would be horrified by the Tories position and the shambolic way they have handled this debacle.

Sounds like a mis-step from the Donald, but I note Sporting Index has backtracked a couple of points. Biden ECVs now down to 314/320. Anyone think why?
Maybe the voters liked the fly.......
Perhaps just in response to money. They were getting close to our magic 100 sell price on supremacy. Was 94 now 92.
I suspect so. I came close to following my own advice this morning and selling half my stake, just to lock in a healthy profit. Glad I didn't now in view of Trump's announcement. Feels like a mahoosive mistake to me.
He looks done and the BIG landslide is imo a 25% possibility.
I'm not closing any of my supremacy having thought about it, tempting though it is to take a chunky actual cash profit now.
Instead I'm doing some partial hedging. Sold Biden on the SPIN -110 handicap. Backed Trump on exchange for 270 - 329 ECV. Backed Reps to hold Florida at 2.2.

If the state pension was at a higher figure I would agree. But whether intended or not, this is a simple way of slowly getting it to a more acceptable proportion of the average wage.
State Pension is already double what you get on Universal Credit.
Have you taken into account the story that broke yesterday of Till's wife suing for divorce citing "cruel and unusual punishment"?
This is not a race-changing story, but a current conviction confirming one. Those who support him will dismiss it as irrelevant or, at best, inconsequential in comparison with getting rid of Trump and wresting control of the Senate from the GOP. Those who are Tillis supporters will react as you have.
For the undecideds, a vanilla extra-marital affair vs 'cruel and inhuman treatment' is either a meh or a win for Cunningham. FYI, in Tennessee, where the Tillises were married, “cruel and inhuman treatment” legally includes domestic violence, adultery, emotional or verbal abuse, and sexual assault.
As far as I can see from the article, one student has had a case bad enough to be in ICU.
That is massively misleading tweet. One out of over 2000 confirmed students cases in Manchester and obviously we don't know the specifics of the individual.
As far as I can see from the article, one student has had a case bad enough to be in ICU.
Given that the previous argument was no one under 30 was suffering any real symptoms its nice to see the argument has changed slightly.
Only a 1 in 50 chance of ending up in the ICU!
And only a 1 in 2 chance of coming out of it alive.
Hmm, with the new treatment options available and better knowledge of how to care for it if be surprised if the ICU survival rate was that low especially for younger people.
Warrington, interesting. Separated processing primarily for Irish lorries doing EU-GB-EU traversals or GB-EU via Holyhead?
Being serious, Warrington is actually a prime location for lorry processing in the Northwest. There's increasingly large industrial estates being built around town for that reason, from Amazon to Hermes and more.
Located on the intersection of the M6, the M62, the M56 and the Manchester Ship Canal. Close to Ireland, Wales, Liverpool, Manchester etc
No idea how it works but I am guessing NW/Welsh/Irish lorries could etc could perhaps be cleared in Warrington prior to heading on to Kent avoiding any need for concern there?
On a Kent related note, I've been invited to a wedding in Folkestone next year, can anyone recommend any decent hotels in Kent, within 50 miles of Folkestone?
Warwick University being the University of Coventry, right?
Yes. It's clearly a dump as it was only founded in the 1960s, it's not as old as a former poly.
The University of Coventry only became a University in 1992 and Warwick was ranked the 9th best university in the UK last year by the Times out of 126.

I thought it was more like 1 in 5 don't make it now. And remember that is massively skewed towards oldies.
I think total for under 30s with no underlying conditions we are talking low 10s that have died.
On a Kent related note, I've been invited to a wedding in Folkestone next year, can anyone recommend any decent hotels in Kent, within 50 miles of Folkestone?
What happened to the last wedding? Did you go?
TSE's weddings are like his AV threads, always coming up . . .
Have you taken into account the story that broke yesterday of Till's wife suing for divorce citing "cruel and unusual punishment"?
I did. So, the infidelity stuff cancels each other out. It is the fact he is facing a possible court martial which I would be most worried about. Plus everyone knows Tillis is an a*sehole
1. Trump is clearly imploding, 2. Boris seems to be about to cave in to get a Brexit deal. 3. We're going starting a week's holiday in Cornwall tomorrow.

I'm sure that's a great comfort to the student's parents.
I wonder whether debate organisers will follow the approach of HIGNFY with Roy Hattersley years ago, and replace Trump at the next debate with a tub of lard?
I might be wrong but didn't the tub of lard end up on the winning side in that episode?
Yes, despite a bunch of questions being in a foreign language too.

Have you taken into account the story that broke yesterday of Till's wife suing for divorce citing "cruel and unusual punishment"?
Isn't that the details of a former wife's divorce petition? I think the balance of the two revelations is to make it too close to call. Which sucks for the Democrats as this was looking increasingly like a near sure bet for a pickup.
Lol, it's not an exclusive. Anyone reading PB for the last few months knows this. The issue is that the government ousted the top Deloitte people and put Harding and Co in place who have fucked it all up.

It's still a 40% death rate for patients going into ICU according to the latest ICNARC report. Essentially that's unchanged since June.
Is Peston's giant iPad bimbo the new press spokesperson?
Isn't her current job just pointing out what other people have been saying on social media? Hopelessly under qualified for anything else
She left Peston a while ago. All aggro has been doing something else important for Boris for a while I think. OK, something important for Rishi- I stand corrected.
There are only two people called Allegra in the world. Boris married one and the other is his Press Secretary.
I thought at first it was Boris's first wife but that was another Allegra.

Boris compromising on state aid with the EU to get the post Brexit trade deal would not be not caving in as there was no specific commitment on state aid in the 2019 Tory manifesto in the first place.
Though yes if Biden wins the chances of No Deal are much less as the US will not give us a FTA without an EU deal effectively under Biden and Pelosi as the EU deal would be needed to minimise the impact of the Internal Markets Bill the Democrats oppose.

About the only thing I can predict with any confidence for 2170 is that people will still be having the following conversation -
"We should tax the rich more. Surely it's time for that." "They'll just hire accountants and avoid it." "So we'll stop that. Close the loopholes. Not beyond the wit of man." "But that's even worse if they can't avoid it." "Why on earth do you say that?" "They'll all leave."

All very sad, but that is reality of life.
I remember in the build up to the Iraq war the media were counting the dead before it started because of US soldiers who had died there (mostly a few vehicle accidents) in the build up. The number was actually below what would have been expected for that number of healthy young men anyway mainly because they were in a controlled military environment (without the fighting) which limited the usual causes of deaths in young men. A like for like comparison to their normal lifestyle made it a safer environment.

Unlike hire of Dido Harding, Allegra does appear to have a CV to back up the job she has been given having worked for BBC, ITV, Times, Indy, Guardian, New Statesman and most recently doing similar job for Rishi.

I don't think that negates the argument though. We are certainly on the low side compared to most European countries and for those with no other income it is very basic without the addition of other benefits.

Ex Newsnight! Another example of the BBC being full of blinkin' lefties!
And was with the Guardian at one time
Sarah Sands, Robbie Gibb, Guto Hari, Allegra Stratton, Jeremy Paxman, John Humphreys, Nick Robinson ...
We have been fed this propaganda about left-wing bias in the broadcast media for years, but all the evidence strongly indicates that if any party has a grip on newsrooms it's the Tories.

As an ex-Warwick graduate, I shall only respond to the slurs made by an ex-Cambridge graduate on this board by pointing out that Warwick is older than some of the Cambridge colleges, e.g. Robinson was founded in 1977.
If you think I am snobby about Warwick you should hear me when I diss JCL Cambridge colleges like Robinson, Downing, and Newnham.

Ex Newsnight! Another example of the BBC being full of blinkin' lefties!
And was with the Guardian at one time

To be honest I think it is an excellent appointment and she will become the best known UK journalist in short order

She's not a journalist anymore, she's a propagandist. It will be interesting hearing her attack BBC bias on behalf of the PM, though.

I'll raise you Clarence Mitchell and BBC Radio Norfolk's Nick (keep your knickers on) Conrad. Oh and of course BBC Radio Wales' Wynn (Go Compare) Evans, who is often Johnson's rubber chicken dinner Master of Ceremonies.

Na, she's an iPad bimbo. lol
I really cannot understand why Scott made that comment other than he fears she may be very good at it

"MY slaves sleep on the finest luxury mattresses, if we do a deal with that horrific fellow, they'll be sleeping on straw!"
Realistically more grannies are going to die if we don't contain the virus.
Also realistically all grannies die eventually.
There has to be a balancing act but lets not pretend any option is cost free.
Out of sight out of mind for Granny
Just try and explain it to our grandchildren
I'm not closing any of my supremacy having thought about it, tempting though it is to take a chunky actual cash profit now.
Instead I'm doing some partial hedging. Sold Biden on the SPIN -110 handicap. Backed Trump on exchange for 270 - 329 ECV. Backed Reps to hold Florida at 2.2.
Trump now 3 and I think he sees 5 before 2.5.
For the undecideds, a vanilla extra-marital affair vs 'cruel and inhuman treatment' is either a meh or a win for Cunningham. FYI, in Tennessee, where the Tillises were married, “cruel and inhuman treatment” legally includes domestic violence, adultery, emotional or verbal abuse, and sexual assault.
What more do you want? Greed is a vice.
Honestly, if it is building out Lymm truck stop, I'm going to call bingo on that idea.
Located on the intersection of the M6, the M62, the M56 and the Manchester Ship Canal. Close to Ireland, Wales, Liverpool, Manchester etc
No idea how it works but I am guessing NW/Welsh/Irish lorries could etc could perhaps be cleared in Warrington prior to heading on to Kent avoiding any need for concern there?
I think total for under 30s with no underlying conditions we are talking low 10s that have died.
2. Boris seems to be about to cave in to get a Brexit deal.
3. We're going starting a week's holiday in Cornwall tomorrow.
All very sad, but that is reality of life.

And now she is going to shill for BoZo.

There are only two people called Allegra in the world. Boris married one and the other is his Press Secretary.

Though yes if Biden wins the chances of No Deal are much less as the US will not give us a FTA without an EU deal effectively under Biden and Pelosi as the EU deal would be needed to minimise the impact of the Internal Markets Bill the Democrats oppose.
You should be ashamed of that idiotic comment
Second time Biden polls 57%, both occurring this month.
Starting to hope a bit more my longshot bet of 58%+ will come in.
Your comments just drip with nastiness and indicates you see her as a threat to your crusade
"We should tax the rich more. Surely it's time for that."
"They'll just hire accountants and avoid it."
"So we'll stop that. Close the loopholes. Not beyond the wit of man."
"But that's even worse if they can't avoid it."
"Why on earth do you say that?"
"They'll all leave."

They are not accountants though are they, just 'consultants'?
Which usually translates as 'wet behind the ears graduates who are willing to work long hours, often not at all productively'.
Cummings' plan to reduce the numbers of Oxbridge humanities graduates in Westminster is working well I see.
It does not excuse his misogyny
BBC DG Tim Davie is an exTory councillor too.
