If your the boot in Monopoly on the 23rd, that's you stuck with it for 5 days. I'd rather not play. This is a solid choice. If you did have enough players to be actually stuck with the boot, then finishing the game in 5 days is optimistic in itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's only logical. If I can spend hours in my granny's house it's fine and I've no chance of killing her. I just need to make sure I don't hug her, the windows are all open and she spoons out her own potatoes. Also it'll be safe to wrap up her presents too, the virus doesn't like wrapping paper but still no word on the actual gifts themselves that have been handled and stored in the same covid-free house by me, plus all the covid-free people in the shop or online warehouse I bought it from. Just imagine if I had the virus, didn't realise, and went the banker for Monopoly. Everybody deid, and after all those sensible protocols I followed. A true christmas tragedy. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to divert as the Liverpool experiment has shown. Perfect testing grounds for the lateral flow testing. 2 hours ago, Todd_is_God said: The SG have no interest in LFT. It would show that, other than getting as much of that sweet, sweet money as possible from WM, there would be no need for tight restrictions. What's with the sudden fascination with LFT. I get that a rapid POC test for COVIS would be ideal but from want I've read the Innova one has a specificity as low as 58% (nearly toss of a coin territory for whether you have COVID) and average about 77%. The high specificity may make it a good tool to rule out Covid bit it has widely been slated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass testing relies on a high volume of tests being completed and returned in a short timeframe, which is what LFT are designed for. There simply isn't anywhere near the capacity in Scotland to effectively mass test the population of Greater Glasgow using PCR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pregnancy test is a LFT, let's be honest no one would accept a 77% accuracy let alone 58%. Again like PCR it's going to be a test if infections not infectiousness. I suspect the fact that the Government has bought 20 million units will dictate policy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the fact that the Government has bought 20 million units will dictate policy. It depends how the specificty is being measured tbh. If it is based on LFT being followed up with a PCR test then, depending on the Ct used, this has the potential to be massively misleading. To use your pregnancy test analogy as a crude example, if a negative Pregnancy test was checked with another test that could detect the presence of semen from weeks ago, and the specificity of the pregnancy test calculated based on that, it might appear to be pretty unreliable, despite actually being pretty accurate.

No, this is definitely another case of government officials giving exactly the right level of advice to the Great British public, who as drooling lobotomy victims are on tenterhooks to see what The Science says about this. The greatest dilemma to befall human civilisation since a wrong choice of 'shiny' over 'rough' wrapping paper wiped out 100 million in the Spanish Flu pandemic at Christmas 1918. 1 hour ago, Gaz said: Clearly the meal they had with their drink wasn't substantial enough to fight off the 'rona Another hard fact brought to you by The Science that the government is currently doubling down on: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55109932 Can pubs trade legitimately?

Do you have any idea how disturbing it is for the Tory government that they are being told to give this advice. "It is safer to play a game where you ask me questions and I have to give the correct answers than a game where I try to make as much money as possible and if I have all of it then I win."
