...ok, still don't get it fully...they infected chimps with the virus, or they use a different but similar coronavirus in chimps?

They used a virus that normally infects chimps, and modified it a bit so it could infect human cells, but is unable to replicate. It doesn’t cause disease, and even if it did, it would just be a cold basically! They insert the instructions for the coronavirus spike into the chimp virus and when they inject it into us, it infects our cells and they start to make spike, hence switching on our immune system! It’s just a little Trojan horse to get the instructions for spike protein into our cells.

What you make of that quote from the Russian doctor to avoid drinking for 7 days before and 42 days after?

 

Haven’t seen it, but alcohol is an immunosuppressant, so I guess that might be what the doc is getting at! Will have a look see if there any specific interactions that led to the statement.

Great content here, apologies if already posted. 

 

I thought this was a really, clear, concise explanation. I loved the cheesy grin at the end.

Also, world record breaking levels of vocal fry.

50 years into the future our descendants will be asking about how Brexit started. They still won’t know if there’s an end in sight.

it's weird...you loosen restrictions and the virus spreads more, and then you tighten them and the infection rate reduces.

Hey....I think we should leave the deep socio-epidemiological theory to our resident expert don't you?

Jeez. Whatever next.

My prediction. They will say there’s a deal to be done and the talks will resume with the teams.

Judging from these it’s like London & South East have had no decline in rates throughout lockdown, largely just held rates flat. Compared to other regions who have seen a very obvious drop. 

I'm looking at those graphs and just seeing Gozilla on the move when he's swimming in the sea

This is MASSIVE. No visiting friends. No skiing trips. No weekends away.

Whilst EU countries will be free to move within the bloc.

This and shelves missing food/higher prices = First Brexit Reality for most people.

What a massive act of self-sabotage.

Most Britons will be barred from visiting EU countries from January 1 when pandemic safety rules that allow free travel within the bloc stop applying to the UK. 

 

The end of the Brexit transition period means that the UK willl be subject to a system that only allows non-essential travel from a handful of non-EU countries with low coronavirus infection rates, the European Commission said. EU member states have shied away from overriding a recommendation to stop the entry of travellers from countries such as the US, which are not on the list of “safe” third nations. Only eight of the countries with very low coronavirus infection rates are on the list. Eighteen EU countries have a higher rate of infection than the UK, according to data from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the Covid Tracking Project and national health ministries. Britons will only be able to travel to EU countries if the bloc relaxes its pandemic travel curbs or individual member states choose to override the rules. EU officials said there is currently no proposal to add the UK to the list of safe nations, which includes Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. If a proposal is made, Britain would still have to meet the technical criteria for inclusion. These include epidemiological benchmarks and an assessment of coronavirus containment measures, as well as “economic and social considerations”. Many EU member states do not allow in travellers from countries on the safe list, reflecting the hard battle much of Europe is facing to control coronavirus infection rates. Only 12 of the European nations apply the list in full, while three — Hungary, Croatia and Norway — have not adopted it at all, the commission said. In another sign of the looming concrete impacts of Brexit, Norway — which is part of the EU travel arrangement — has confirmed it will stop British citizens who do not live in the country entering from January 1. Norway, whose biggest export country is the UK, this week signed deals with the UK on healthcare and social security arrangements, as well as a continuity trade deal ahead of a potential full-blown trade agreement. Travellers from Britain could still visit the bloc after December 31 under exemptions including for diplomats, “imperative family reasons” and some “highly qualified third-country workers”. Nationals of the European countries who live in Britain will continue to be allowed in, as will Britons who reside in the EU. The UK mission to the EU did not immediately comment.

I normally stay away from things like this but this is simply the reality of Brexit and we will be treated the same as any other 3rd world country, it's what was voted for a break from the EU so this is the consequences but remainers knew that right?? 

We're not being singled out but the media will play that angle of nasty old EU picking on us Brits
