Reckoner Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Much more familiar with question time in Australia than UK PMQ’s but I thought she started brilliantly. Maybe fell away a touch by the end but still landed enough in the first few questions to do the job for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the vague responses from the right dishonourable gentleman opposite that are causing the issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need to at least be listening if not watching, but everything about him makes me uncontrollably angry. Makes working a bit tricky. She was doing pretty well though. As Ozanne said her strength is in being very clear with her words. I had a similar reaction! I thought she was good though. Excellent starter too I thought @FestivalJamie Just wanted to add to those wishing you luck and to say remember that it is your experience to do your way. Two of my still current best friends I met by being assigned them as flatmates in halls at the age of 18. I'm 37 now. Didn't have to go too far to meet them.

Toilet Duck Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Latest discovery in terms of therapeutics HERE Published online in Cell in the last couple of days but basically is shows that in order for the virus to get into target cells, not only does it need to use ACE2, but it also needs to bind Heparan Sulfate (HS) first (which is part of the carbohydrate layer on the surface of the types of cells the virus infects). The first step, binding to HS opens up the receptor binding domain of the spike, allowing it to interact with ACE2 and get into our cells. Nicely conducted study and possibly a massive finding. The reason for that is we have drugs that we already use that can block the interaction with HS (namely the anti-coagulant heparin in various forms). In fact, there are already 64 different studies underway examining whether heparin or its derivatives might be useful therapeutically for COVID. The reason these studies were started was because coagulation problems were observed in a lot of patients that were having difficulty with the disease (and indeed in one study, disseminated intravascular coagulation was observed in a massive 74% of patients that didn't survive, whereas less than 1% of patients that survived had coagulation problems). However, in addition to treating the coagulation, heparin may actually impact upon the ability of the virus to enter cells and thus replicate. So, we already had an indication that anti-coagulants may help improve outcomes for COVID patients, but now it seems we have a key piece of the mechanism and they may do more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
