If you have a couple of hours to spare then check out:

Parliamentlive.tv

Science and Technology Committee
parliamentlive.tv parliamentlive.tv

which is Patrick Vallance as a Witness to the Commons Science and Technology committee. A very clear and very informative general assessment of where things stand with the science of covid. He is a great communicator and generally knows where any statement he makes is going to finish before he starts.

If you are really nerdy, then look at Johnson's press conference given today and ask your self whether they are on the same planet.
 
I shan't do the latter, I have no desire to beat this laptop up.

As Stephen Bush comments:
Employers will be asked to choose between making their workplaces covid-secure, presumably at their own expense, or continuing to encourage homeworking.​
Hmm. I wonder which they'll pick.​

And the latest ONS survey suggests that (in England) we're not seeing much of a fall in infection rates any more.
 
Scotland saw a 100% increase yesterday. One new case was found, all contacts traced and found.

That 100%, of course is mathematical nonsense, but it looks true.That's how the government operates.
 
The most frequent cause of death has been missed out of that list completely. Last year, worldwide, 1.35 million people died in road traffic accidents.(Though in the UK currently you are more likely to die from Covid than in an RTA.) That's an awful lot of unnecessary deaths, but it appears to be an accepted cost of modern living.

RTA it is not "off" the list,neither is death from heart disease,the visualisation just shows the lower range of global causes of death up to the 17th july ,give it another month or so and covid will have surpassed the other,greater, common causes of death globally starting 1st january,if infection rates carry on raising exponentially.
 
one lab vile of corona virus can infect 1 million people. if China lab somehow did end up releasing what ever they were mucking around with and it got in to the atmosphere then it would explain the high levels of people getting infected.

as they won't come clean as to what ever then we will never know.
 
Conspire as much as you like but in all probability the virus came from close contact with animals. Ever been in a lab containing dangerous materials? Don't forget the people working there have the one hell of an incentive to make sure nothing escapes because they will be the first to cop it.
