    Diana Johnson tweeted that Hull is still waiting to receive these tests (and help from the army) that was promised to them two weeks ago.

    So, the new Oxford vaccine is 70% effective. I wouldn't bother. All this fuss when we know Domestos kills 99.9% of all known germs, dead.

    Mass vaccination, eh? They'll have to catch me first.

    Domestos & coke or Domestos & tonic ? That is the question if pubs are closed.

    Covid-19: Screening without scrutiny, spending taxpayers’ billions

    BMJ2020; 371doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.m4487(Published 19 November 2020)Cite this as: BMJ 2020;371:m4487

    Mike Gill and Muir Gray (who was knighted for his work on national screening programmes) insist the Liverpool mass testing pilot must be stopped.1 It is screening by the back door, bypassing appraisal by the UK’s National Screening Committee. The lateral flow test being used is of doubtful value, with a high false negative rate. Although the false positive rate is small it is still a problem in a low prevalence setting.

    Angela Raffle, another leading expert on screening, argues that Operation Moonshot takes us back to the paternalistic 1960s, ignores data protection and privacy laws, and is potentially in breach of the Declaration of Helsinki.23 Bing Jones and colleagues say we must stop being polite about “test and trace,” with its narrow focus on testing, costing billions of pounds to the taxpayer.4

    Instead of listening, inviting scrutiny, or waiting for the results of its Liverpool pilot, England’s Department of Health and Social Care is rushing out mass testing to 67 more areas.5 The government is using the covid-19 pandemic to cut corners in procurement and award contracts without transparency, finds the National Audit Office, which reviewed £18bn of contracts awarded in the first wave.6 Companies are being prioritised solely on the recommendation of officials and politicians. An emergency is no excuse for this bad practice, and the Public Accounts Committee says the NAO’s findings are likely to be the tip of the iceberg.

    I'm self employed and live in a satellite village of Pocklington. I can't see me traipsing between people's homes before this year is out, at least. I've had to stop answering the phone because the abuse and vitriol I'm getting for refusing to take bookings is quite frankly, hilarious. I've got just over 50 people to let down next month and while I could be in for a prosperous December, I'm staying the **** put!

    70%? As the survival rate is over 99%, does that mean the body's natural immune system is more effective? :bandit:

    'Serendipity,' led to a break through' or in plain English, a bit of a cock up on the dosing front led to the discovery that half a dose was more effective than a full one.

    These southern based scientists don't talk proper English as us do.

    Obviously, immunity rate and survival rate are completely different things .

    Should we be trusting these expert scientist types when they struggle to measure out the required dose?

    I wonder if half a second dose would improve it further, and make the vaccine available to more people? It does raise the question of how they decide the appropriate dose on a novel vaccine.

    That's why a new vaccine or medicine can often take up to 10 years to hit the market, there are so many combinations that need to be tested on a wide range of patients.

    It makes you wonder what they are playing at. It's good to know they have a rigorous testing programme before they roll it out to the general public.

    Rule 1) Buy a test tube with measurements on the side then apply the correct dose. I wonder what these people got their ology in?
