Clear messages, and for once uniteruppted by Naga Munchetti, who unusually did not interrupt, or try to trip him up. He has been on a few times, he is always excellent. He is a straight to the point, clear message guy.

Interesting to hear what he said about flu and the fact there are now hardly any flu cases. They now presume anything with those symptoms is Covid-19.

fairfolly Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 In Bradford yesterday " The Police picked up a man in Bradford West yesterday who was on his daily walk. It then transpired he was from Burnley and had travelled to Bradford to buy a car" If you know the area,put Bradford, Bradford West and Burnley together. I will leave you to guess the rest.

I’m sure many people feel under the weather but is it CV or just the usual sniffles? Is there a rudimentary check? A quick google has left me none the wiser. This is the best symptom checker out of the four NHS ones, in my opinion.

Or the chief medical officer could have been the spreader. You have no idea and nor does that twit Codwallop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintslass Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I think it's interesting that Boots have been working with the government to deliver the tests for the frontline workers, and indeed have just completed a trial of the drive in testing for frontline staff in Nottingham. So clearly despite what the media and others have been saying about how the government isn't testing, they have been busy planning in the background with relevant businesses and Boots are due to roll out the drive in testing throughout the country. It's amazing just how many businesses are getting involved. Who would have thought the Royal Mint could produce visors for NHS staff? I wouldn't have put money and visors together at any time no matter how much time you gave me to innovate that one! Even on a local level there has been effort and innovation.

Which is part of the problem. The basic symptoms are the same as colds or flu. There will be better tests soon. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dscrepencies are because the police want something easy to police, which is not the exactly the same as minimising infection. The Government have not been as forthright. I've not once claimed to be the voice of authority Bob. I posted some figures which you said were unreliable & irresponsible. I provided a link to the World Health Organisation Situation Reports which those figures are based on. Your still upset that those figures clashed with your expert opinion. I'm sorry for that, get over it Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
