    There appears to be a reasonably strong link between obesity/diabetes and deaths from Covid-19, and the Vitamin D link would also go some way to explain the difference in death rates between men and women (more men suffer from severe Vitamin D deficiency), and there is some compelling evidence to support it... however in both cases surely "stay at home" and limiting exercise to 1 hour a day were both counter-productive?

    So what happens at the hairdressers then- are you and the hairdresser having to wear masks? I had mine cut outdoors by an illicit home operating hairdresser because to be honest it needed a cut in March!

    Agreed it's time wasted, but we are not alone in being in that regard.

     

    Seems a sensible decision if Track & Trace would not be live until Winter. It's clear from around the world we really need it to be live to help us move forward. Does all seem a great big mess, but I guess that's project management for us all in general.

     

    It's not like anything important is impacted by this like... public health or the ENTIRE BASIS of our economy. I guess that's just the Tories for you in general.

    Air bridges with which countries? Most of the candidate countries have a lower infection rate than the UK which would make those countries wary of any agreement with the UK. The discussion about the possibility seems to be aimed at blaming "forrinaz" when those countries refuse any offer of an air bridge. The headlines "Europe says to Brits - we don't want you" are all too predictable.

     

    Sweden is probably on offer.

     

    I see the UK has seeded a new outbreak in New Zealand, doesn't it make you proud??

    10 Years ago: 6th week at #1 for “Bloodbuzz Ohio” http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...t&p=3106629

    How many u-turns is that now :')

     

    Absolute shambles. At least common sense and decency prevailed on this issue in the end.

     

    Three in the last two weeks. More U-Turns than me trying to go around the supermarket to maintain 'social distancing' (c March-May 2020).

    You have zero evidence to prove that is what specifically kept the first wave afloat,

     

    I don't think Tim was quite saying that - anyway, what do YOU think is the reason that the UK and the US have new case rates 10 X higher than most other western countries that have went through the peak of Covid-19 cases in late March?

    My view on 2 M is that it is there to ensure people stay at least 1 M apart because people generally underestimate how much space they are leaving between them, but I would imagine it makes sense - for the reasons you've mentioned Rooney- to relax the rules once we have a proper track & trace programme in place and we have mandatory face covering in enclosed public spaces.

    Some of the graphs on that seem a bit suspect - how come Paraguay have been classified as "Winning" even though their cases seem to have surged in the past week (as as a lot of South America, unfortunately). Also not sure why Kosovo are "Nearly There" when their cases now seem to be at their highest. Will take Ireland's victory for sure.

     

    There's no scale so some of them look a lot worse than they are. Paraguay had 24 new cases yesterday. Kosovo (at an average of 22 new cases/day) is an anomaly because it isn't recognised by Pointless as a country ! :P

    Again I am probably in the minority here, but I don't think it should be introduced so soon. If people can meet their family outdoors as many times as they want socially distanced that's good enough without putting the low R rate under risk by allowing house visits.

     

    *coughs*

     

    @1270759461649625097

    He does mention in the lyrics that he's been driving around in a stolen car and selling drugs, but to be fair he doesn't specifically explain whether that's what he was in prison for.

     

    Looking forward to a hot Dominic Cummings collab. in that case.

    I assume it'll all be restricted to outdoors anyway will it not?

     

    Nope - you can stay overnight and don't have to practice 'social distancing', i.e. you effectively would become tacked on to the household you choose to join together with.

    I would assume that the household that a single person household can mix with can be anything from an entire family to just another single person - but that you cannot include any other households within that bubble. So both apply, e.g. join with a household with multiple people in it, OR one other single person.

    I recently read ‘Why We Get The Wrong Politicians’ by Isabel Hardman which was a really interesting read, and 'Another Day In The Death of America' by Gary Younge which is a really tough read and focusses primarily on gun violence looking at 10 young lives lost to it on one day (23 November 2013).

     

    I will check that book out though Steve because I am a big fan of Atlee and what his governments of 1945-51 achieved, but have never really read into him that much.
