DeeTillEhDeh Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 What she is saying is undeniably true. There's a plethora of research that shows women are more risk averse than men. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost definitely explains our case increases. A full bus load went down from Scone and literally every single one, plus some of their family members, tested positive aftwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's undeniably irrelevant to the development of the pandemic, given that there was no such enormous gender split in cases for 15 months until, erm, a football tournament started churning out games three times a day. The baseline willingness of all daft blokes to take risks is a completely redundant explanation. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Didn't realise that Italy and Poland have imposed mandatory quarantine on UK arrivals in the last 24 hours with several other European destinations popular with Brits considering tightening restrictions for UK arrivals amidst our rising case numbers. You really couldn't make this all up now. No doubt the UK will now lift quarantine at this end but we still wont get to travel to a large number of popular countries. Sick of the uncertainty and moved our Canaries holiday in July to November as this just seems never ending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is essential to you personally means nothing to the people that actually make decisions. We are at the beginning of a transition from a consumption oriented economy towards a rent oriented economy. The planet can no longer support continual growth and governments are going to have to take unpopular steps. In a thread where you have posted some bizarre and frankly ridiculous takes, that is definitely the most bizarre and ridiculous of all. Fucking hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet economies the world over have utterly tanked and will take a year or two to return to their pre-pandemic level because of... utterly battered sectors like travel, tourism, and aviation. You need to lay off the glue and 101 conspiracy economics, bud. Edited June 23, 2021 by Elixir 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two things have about as much correlation to one another as your ridiculous example of linking the wealth of the mega rich to tourism.

Les Cabbage Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Those case numbers 5 people I was at Leicester Square with are positive including my brother but somehow I’m still testing negative. Outdoor transmission is obviously a total non event and it must have been trains/pubs that spread it. Done 3 x Lateral Flows and 1 x PCR and all negative and the people I stayed with/went to pubs with are all negative too. The Tartan Army Gamma Premium variant is surely pending.

RH33 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Anyone had thumping headache as symptom? I'm on day two and seems its a delta symptom. Two LFT negative, middle child isolating after kid at school positive and she was close contact. PRC for her today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRC for her today.I had an aching back, it felt like it had a chill on it like a draft, then loss of taste, that's when I knew. The cough (sore as f**k btw) didn't come until after my test came back positive. They said by then I was already past my infectious period. Thankfully never got the headache or even a temperature. Still get the aching back to this day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclizine Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 On 20/06/2021 at 17:09, scottmcleanscontacts said: I'm fairly clued up on what Dex is for and I think in theory it probably could be quite useful for Covid, or indeed any other disease/ailment that comes with respiratory issues. Also, I'm fairly certain that it is relatively cheap. This other one, from what I can gather after a quick Google, would appear to be as far away from being useful as thrush cream would be. I don't buy into it either. We've already done a massive trial of dexamethasone in Covid (RECOVERY). It reduces mortality at 28 days if you require oxygen or a ventilator, but of no benefit otherwise (and might actually worsen Covid outcomes if given unnecessarily). It's hilarious seeing Hancock push this a a Great British Breakthrough™, given dex is an ancient steroid that we've used in a wide number of conditions for years and is cheap as chips. I can't really see a plausible pharmacological reason invermectin might work. Pleased there's going to be a proper randomised controlled trial on it though, but my gut feeling is it will either be of no benefit or may actually cause worse outcomes, like hydroxychloroquine. Either way, I think any clinical effect will be small. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Although I agree on your sentiment there may be a good reason for EasyJet to star this flight in that it will get crew and aircraft back to flight standards, I wouldn’t be surprised if once everything has calmed down the flight will be dropped.Crystal ball stuffBBC News - Covid: EasyJet cancels flights over Manchester-Scotland travel banhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-57585295 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
