Completely OT but related to this gem. Was at a Casino with a friend on those electric machines. He was down to his last tenner and was tapping the screen. Just before the spin he accidentally stuck his remaining money on a single number. The bigger came in. Jammy git.
Are you worried yet.

Boy, 15, creates visors with 3D printer so effective NHS staff ask for more — Metro
Schoolboy Rudra Nakade came up with the design for a full face visor one Sunday evening in lockdown.

Bless that’s really decent of him. It’s not a ‘mask’ it’s just a visor mount. The design is open source - We have made around 5-10,000 of these locally. Lots of schools and local businesses are chipping in. They have done more then the politicians to be honest. Gives nurses a bit more confidence - the FP2 & 3 masks are the major problem..

Tonight's briefing was good. Cautious with optimism. Then Laura K started and I switched off.
Others tell me what followed was in the same vein but Peston asked a good Q about Germany being relatively better than us. Why is our media so ****?

F......me, the Froggies hit a massive number today, 1417 dead. Wouldn't say we were good though, 786, our biggest number ever.
Not going to be coming out of lockdown for weeks.........and then some probably.
On a side note, thought Dominic Raab did a great job today and what we have with this government is strength in depth.
Oh, and lastly media, there have been a few of you today, stop asking who has control in the event of a nuclear war. Who gives a care right now, about a gazillion to one of that happening, ALL governments got too much to worry about without thinking about bombing someone. Even Bashar al-Assad has gone silent.
Oh, and one more thing, MEDIA, up your own personal game or get out of the business, you are currently the weakest link.

COVID-19:Attacks the 1-Beta Chain of Hemoglobin and Captures the Porphyrin to Inhibit Human Heme Metabolism
The novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) is an infectious acute respiratory caused by the novel coronavirus. The virus is the positive-strand RNA one with high homology to bat coronavirus. The pathogenic mechanism of the new coronavirus is still unclear, which is a significant obstacle to the...chemrxiv.org
this potentially explains why those on a ventilator don’t do as well as one would hope.
That’s proper nasty. I can see why you say it’s 50/50 if you’re in hospital.
Fingers crossed that I have had it and we have an immunity to it.
If doubters had the patience/intelligence/interest to read that they would all be staying in.

interesting read and possibly rather worrying
www.nationalgeographic.com
Scientists hunt for the next potential coronavirus animal host
Some scientists warn there’s a small but real possibility the virus could take refuge in a new animal host and reintroduce it to humans in the future.

The government should just requisition all companies and property in the U.K. owned by corporations based in China -

Don’t the Chinese own most of the US Treasury Bonds?
The US is effectively owned by China. The US are in China’s pocket. Nothing will happen.

Yes, that's totally true. I agree. BUT if you have developed good immunity then while you might have a few viruses hanging around (like on any surface) you are not going to be expelling millions of viruses every time you cough or sneeze. So you might be unlucky enough to infect someone, but you are not really a source of contagion. THAT is a big (and useful) difference.
