He has already played the not my fault card. He will just re-write history and the sheep will let him away with it. He's already done it based on his actions so far. We are seeing it with a poster or two on here who have little interest in questioning anything happening as it is their 'team'. I genuinely find it scary when people have 'teams' in politics.

Blind loyalty is for silly things like sport, not our lives. Good post Dave. I like the comparison to sport too because its something that I have kept thinking over the last week. I find the blind worshipping of any political party, with a fervour in excess of any sports team, quite frankly bizarre and it is indeed scary. Even with sport most rational people can see the failings of their own team, and I know you and I have disagreed in the past *cough salary cap cough*, but at least we generally see each others point of view and find some common ground. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damien 9,643 Report post Posted April 19 Interesting news regarding plasma trials: The UK is gearing up to use the blood of coronavirus survivors to treat people who are ill in hospital with the disease. NHS Blood and Transplant has started approaching some people who have recovered from Covid-19 to donate their blood so they can begin a trial to assess the treatment. The hope is that the antibodies they have built up will help to clear the virus in others. Scientists have welcomed the plan - and University Hospital of Wales has already announced a trial. But some researchers have warned the UK has moved too slowly compared with other countries. In the US, a national plasma project - involving 1,500 hospitals - has already started. Scientists still need to assess how effective the therapy is. But with no current treatments for Covid-19, the hope is it could help until a vaccine is found.

ckn 14,202 Report post Posted April 19 Come on. Please play nicely and do your political posting on the political threads. It’s a right ball ache moving them on my phone and I’m not logging into my computer today. It’s far easier to delete them. And I may just start doing that. There are people who want to keep up with this subject without the political stuff, or even the endless tribalism of the rugby threads. Just think of the innocents.
