Best part of Eurovision is the political voting at the end. You don’t need to actually watch the acts.

Or the data indicates at first the variant was more transmissible but as they got more data they realise it isn’t. That’s what happens with science.

That's fine but they shouldn't have said a scary number like 50%, even with caveats

I mean, there's a "may not" in there, and it's Politics For All and the Telegraph...so let's see.

They would have been if SAGES advice was taken to delay May. As well as the general mental health issues caused anyway

Indeed, it doesn’t seem like anything to ridicule SAGE for.

If nothing else should be the last time they get to play around like this with variants 

I worry this will be a boy who cried wolf situation eventually though, hopefully we don't reach that stage

Yeah, well they didn't...and maybe they got lucky. As for this general mental health thing... I don't know...I think "general mental health" might be deterimentally effected if was more transmissable and we had to reverse any lockdown easing further down the line. Bojo is popular not just because of the vaccines, but because he is being more cautious.

Did SAGE officially recommend a delay to May? Have we got any proof of that? I thought it was just iSAGE type scum that were recommending that. 

[steviewevie]

the replies to that Politics For All tweet look just like what is being posted on here...

[Fuzzy Afro]

Fake SAGE must surely now realise the game is almost over and they’ve lost. I’d hate to be a fly on the wall of their next meeting.

Disappointing. Real SAGE are generally not that bad.

Early onset dementia.

Estimated impact of Step 3 alone Any resurgence in hospital admissions and deaths following Step 3 of the Roadmap alone is highly unlikely to put unsustainable pressure on the NHS, however, the full impact of Step 3 changes will not be seen in these data until at least mid-June

Kent variant more deadly, SA one vaccine resistant, Indian one more transmissible? Looking like all 3 might be wrong after huge panic caused. Why are general members of the public bombareded with this stuff when it doesn't help anyone.

Also, any bets where the next big variant will come from? Running out of big countries now...
