Well yes I thought that would be obvious
Brazil and actually the US are some of the least densely populated countries in the world but in reality they really are not
Good news that 20m doses of the vaccine are in UK, a lot still needs to be batch tested and put in vials but good to know that the key component is available !
Keep your chins up all...the numbers won’t be pretty in the coming days but there is light at the end of the tunnel

A small glimmer of light is always nice. Hopefully we have a way to speed up batch testing and packaging.
The figures will in theory go up for deaths as the positives start to tail off. But remember the death figure the news uses does still include back dating.

That study is the one my missus is part of. She got Covid around April time and had her antibodies tested in November and they were still pretty high.
AFAIK it's not that 'immunity only lasts five months' it's that the trial has only been going for five months so they can't say any more at this point.
John Burns Murdoch did a good piece on this saying that it's total number of major metropolitan areas that correlates rather than average population density. He also points out that as viruses don't respect borders, categorising by country isn't particularly useful.

Was curious so did a quick google for data on population density and how it relates to covid rates. Found this which would suggest the link isn't as great as you would think.

Suspect the ones that have been offered Manchester is down to someone entering some wrong data somewhere.Outrage as people in Coventry offered Covid jab over 100 miles away

In any case 'outrage' is a bit over the top. The offer of vaccination at one of the mass vaccination centres is an optional way to get done sooner, if you prefer to have it done locally you still can and you're are still the same place in the queue locally.

I'm not sure that people were ever outraged before the invention of twitter.

Just read the first 11 pages. Nothing too embarrassing for me. Some opinionated people got things completely wrong.
Problem with the deaths figures. They’re probably too high so want to manipulate them a little bit

I saw Pete had 'laughed' at the above!
Happy to admit I totally wrote it off as a bit of flu.
I remember being with two ex colleagues at the time in a Heathrow hotel and one of them was following the story from January. She said we should be stockpiling loo roll etc and I laughed it off and to stop be crazy.
Little did I know that it would have such a life changing effect on everyone.
Guess I need to take some things a little more seriously going forward. Lesson learnt!

I suppose he could always balance it up by telling them that when they leave school they’ll be the laziest workers in the world. Wait, that’s Tory propaganda, they’ll still think Tories are cunts.
Got it. Tell them how tories voted to end free school meals during school holidays. No that won’t work either.
erm. How about when they cheered when they voted to deny NHS staff a pay rise.
Or how their top advisor said if Covid kills their gran then tough.
Struggling to find an angle here where Tories aren’t looking like cunts.

I still don’t know what you mean. The point I’m making is that people frequently lambast the social media world when it suits but then quote absurd sources as credible to suit an argument
Ian1779
Well-Known Member
I said nothing about it’s credibility at all. And although you call it out as absurd, this is the party that today announced that they were instructing schools not to provide FSM in the half-term holidays.... less than 24 hours after saying they would sort out the previous shitshow over food packages and their dear leader attempted to mock Starmer for being less of an opposition than Marcus Rashford.
This sir is that absurdity you were looking for.

That’s a fair point. The author is a brexiteer and the source served as chairman of the ERG. Two very absurd and incredible sources.
