Ivan the terrible

wonderful street next to my alma mata ///many a discussion over a curry

fucking disgraceful have they no shame

f**k..that is so beautiful...can i see the bush lol

PPP LOL

dont know how anyone can switch to gin after beer...whatever floats your boat mate

on special bowmore single malt only 20 sterling ...bargin not a bad drop

i would relish that not that it changes anything...go in eyes wide open

Thailand is one of the most Racist countries in the world....so are its populace...you should have learned more in your 20 years and talked to a few TGs

fucking hell is that what we have to do...black and white ....what a FUcking nonsensense...they will never be happy/appeased...fight with all your being against this fascistic construct

they were fckwits too...but the BLM protests are many orders of magnitude greater in terms of numbers And ...no ...neither group should have done it

Its true outdoors is much less of a risk ,however there were hundreds of thousands at the Washington protests all shoulder to shoulder...still too early to tell as to the outcome,the youngsters will mostly just get a cold...its when they go visit their grandparents and secondary spread ..there will be a lag

So be it ..cannot stay in lockdown forever However people who fail to socially distance aka BLM are the most culpable ,never mind being mind numbingly stupid self indulgent threats to their elderly relatives and the wider population...total fckwits

Imagine that? Coronavirus flew in to UK at least 1,356 times — Open Borders is deadly New research of the WuFlu “gene” lineage in the UK show that the virus kept being introduced via planes, trains and cars. The entire time that UK residents were being restricted in lockdown, tens of thousands of people were allowed to bring virus in through the border. Sabotage or Incompetence? The single failure to quarantine arrivals in the UK means the lockdown has gone on longer than it needed, cost more than it had too, has been less successful, and now, as the UK reopens, it does it with infections still running, when it could be doing it “like New Zealand”. The BBC news mentioned that there were a lot of imported cases, that the biggest variety of genetic variants came from Spain, France and Italy and not China. But one tantalizing finding was that the UK transmission lines now appear to be “very rare or extinct”. Which surely implies that the lockdown is working, the UK lines are dying out, and that … by golly, the new infections must be regular incoming virus? Three Key Conclusions: The UK epidemic comprises a very large number of importations due to inbound international travel2. We detect 1356 independently-introduced transmission lineages, however, we expect this number to be an under-estimate. Many UK transmission lineages now appear to be very rare or extinct, as they have not been detected by genome sequencing for >4 weeks. We estimate that ≈34% of detected UK transmission lineages arrived via inbound travel from Spain, ≈29% from France, ≈14% from Italy, and ≈23% from other countries. The relative contributions of these locations were highly dynamic. Instead, according to the BBC the big surprise in this study was that there was “no patient zero” who went on to give 300,000 people in the UK Covid, though it’s hard to believe anyone older than six thought that was even possible. In February a quarter of million people flew into the UK — that’s not in February “the month”, — it’s every single day. In a world of exponential rising infections surely even preschoolers can figure out the odds that millions of travellers were flying in from a world of sick, and somehow were not sick themselves. In March, 20,000 people a day were flying in from Spain, where the infection was running rife. Many of these would be British people returning home. The study shows the incredible folly of keeping borders open. Coronavirus came to UK ‘on at least 1,300 separate occasions’ James Gallagher, BBC, Health and Science Correspondent The study, by the Covid-19 Genomics UK consortium (Cog-UK), completely quashes the idea that a single “patient zero” started the whole UK outbreak. They found the UK’s coronavirus epidemic did not have one origin – but at least 1,356 origins. On each of those occasions somebody brought the infection into the UK from abroad and the virus began to spread as a result. “The surprising and exciting conclusion is that we found the UK epidemic has resulted from a very large number of separate importations,” said Prof Nick Loman, from Cog-UK and the University of Birmingham. “It wasn’t a patient zero,” he added. The big surprise for me was that the number was so small. But the full study shows this is the tip of an iceberg. They analyzed data from 16,506 UK genomes, and another 12,000 genomes from other countries. So they looked at about 5% of the known coronavirus infections in the UK (which is still an impressive sample). So when they say 1,300 separate infections arrived, the researchers admit “We expect the number is an underestimate”. But it could be that 30,000 cases arrived across those open flowing borders. The researchers certainly don’t say that. They add that they do not attempt to measure the contributions of importation versus local transmission, nor to model the impact of the public health interventions. There are many caveats, and many assumptions. They have to estimate how fast the mutations are happening, how quickly they spread, how long it took to detect them, and how many of the subsequent transmissions they sampled. The graph shows that the variants detected in early March have largely disappeared ….. Most of the 1,356 lineages lasted for a month or so and died out. If those variants had successful spread and mutated they would look different to what they did on March 1 but there would still be a continuous chain of changes. The lineage wouldn’t have died out. Figure 5: Estimated total number of inbound travellers to UK per day (black line) and the estimated number of infectious cases worldwide (dashed red line). New cases in the UK are about 1,300 per day How many of these new cases are from planes, trains and cars? How low would this tally be if instead the UK had put in border controls at the same time as it started major restrictions at the end of March? Mobility trackers show the UK was slowing down for most of March, and by the last week of March reached a full lockdown. UK Cases Worldometer UK Borders are Still Not Closed Even though, as of this week, the UK government is demanding all arrivals self-isolate for two weeks, they are only collecting names and addresses and promising to check on some of them. There’s a £1,000 fine for breaches, but only a £100 fine for people not filling in the form. (Seems like a cheap alternative to two weeks quarantine). The isolation is not only not enforced, it is not even a full 100% requirement — as those in self isolation are asked not to visit pharmacies and what not, unless they absolutely have to, and can’t find a friend to do it for them. How not to quarantine people: Individuals quarantining will be permitted to shop for food essentials and medicines but only if it is not possible to rely on others, and will be able to take public transport to their designated accommodation. About a fifth of people are expected to receive a spot-check to ensure that they are staying at the address or addresses they have provided to the authorities, the Guardian understands. Australia tried this kind of weak border control in March, and learnt quickly that it didn’t work. When Victorian police tried to check on arrivals, even though there were $1,652 dollar fines for breaches, 10 to 20% of those in self isolation were not home when police turned up, and some had given false addresses. By March 28th all incoming travellers were put in enforced hotel quarantine. They were escorted to the hotels, separated, guarded, fed, and tested. As I’ve said before, and this study shows, the biggest mistake the UK Swamp made – apart from being unprepared was leaving the borders open. Which are still not closed. The UK aimed for Herd Immunity (that was the excuse for keeping the borders open, while the rest of the world closed them), a deadly mistake that killed tens of thousands of people who didn’t need to die, and also cost billions upon billions of dollars in pointless damage to the UK economy.

I wish I only spent 125US per day 😞

and so it proved......,a positive case at the Melbourne rally ,self indulgent leftie fuckwits put Australias health in danger having done magnificently so far.Contrast to the Anzac day commemerations ,dignified and safe in that instance. I rarely wish people ill ...but...I would wish them worse if it wasnt such a danger to the wider community

While Chicago burned

not by a long chalk "all"

the hypocritical double standard contrasting the huge crowds which gathered at the weekend for BLM and the ongoing business lockdown has pissed me off big time for sure..its a kick in the bollocks for the law abiding The Funerals thing is just sickening

sounds bloody grim

im barely intelligible in full flow

my family...sat down to roast rib of beef,yorkshires and the works...great company,great food thanks to the missus

Sorry! lol

good movie that

horrendous

it does mate...your personal isolation sounds entirely appropriate...hope it lifts soon for you
