Most likely true everywhere.
I asked M&S and Aldi. Both of them said they accept the BlueLightCard as ID, so might try Sainsbury’s tomorrow after my all nighter and hope they do too
That's a poor report. The figures that you see are hospitals patients whether you are talking about the UK or France. You can't actually have the care homes figures at the same rhythm or with the same accuracy because for the most part these people aren't covid19 patients, they die for a variety of reasons and would need to be tested post-mortem which may or may not be done, the ones that were covid19 patients are counted.
Or a new entrant into Urban Dictionary in 2021:
Guardian transcript said:
Didn't Trump misspell a tweet with that word a few months ago? He's probably try to copyright that word.
the number of drives per year is more than the number of people by a pretty large amount, so it's noa a direct comparison.
As long as you're getting your ID sorted it shouldn't be a problem. I'm also thinking you could do with ID incase you are stopped by police. The lockdown is only going to get tighter.
No, if you're European you can get primary care and emergency hospital care in the UK (for this year, at least). You'd use your European Health Insurance Card, which is free to get in your home country.
The report was from France itself to by fair and was very critical of Macron, the figures and the French response. It will likely be on BBC if you want to check it out.
If they do generate this data, it would be interesting (also expensive) to do some DNA sequencing of these people and see if there are any differences between those who are symptomatic and asymptomatic. This sequencing will only make sense if the original antibody test is done as widely as possible, because the sequencing doesn't generate very strong results usually.
He can offer it speakership, he might win again.
And Sudan.
From 8:00 in the video I've just posted above with a Korean professor, he says there are cases of people recovering from coronavirus and then showing symptoms again after 5-7 days. I wonder if the German approach works, but patients need to be given 2 weeks after they've stopped showing symptoms before they should be mixing with the public again.
I don't have any articles but what are you thinking of here?
Yeah that’s one of the biggest unknowns here. Why the extremely wide range of disease severity (over and above the usual stuff around age/co-morbidities) Apparently people with blood group O do much better than those with A. Bound to be other, more subtle, genoytpical differences which have profound effects.
Basically are Freddos going up in price again?
A classical straight drive up the arse.

Probably, yes.
This is where I draw the line.
Its not like the govt is going to accept that the lockdown hasn't worked. People have to die in large numbers (in Indian terms) for govt to accept anything. A few 100s dying randomly is just going to be brushed under the carpet.
Does anybody know why the PCR testing was so hard to ramp up and is still used rather rarely? We already mass produce all the reagents for PCR. The only novelty is the specific primer sets forthe virus, but surely that can't be the hold up? Or is the problem at the detection/measurement of the RT-PCR end?
The fact that it's from France makes it even worse because Jerome Salomon has been repeating it during the official daily reports it's not a secret and it's not supposed to stay that way, the regional health agencies have registered those covid19 death, when it was possible, and the figures for care homes(EHPAD) should be available this week(it's supposed to be tonight). The reason people know that they aren't in the current count is because the government told them that it wasn't in it that they were going to publish them this week.
It's going to be a long year and one to remember for sure. Hopefully we never go through this again and those not born yet will not be able to get their heads around it.

All this could have been avoided if flights from China were banned when the virus started spreading there but Europe & US were too concerned about economic impact. It wouldn't have been 10% of what it will be now, and you can be sure China will not be allowing any Americans or Europeans without quarantine for a long while.
After all, it's not like Europe's leaders have a centuries-long history of viral diseases to learn from, in order to prepare & protect the public against them...
I don't really think anyone has any idea what they are doing right now, to be fair.
What you are suggesting would have changed nothing for Europe and the US, I don't really get why people keep making that point when it's incredibly weak. Banning flights from China alone would have made next to no difference, you would need to ban flights from everywhere because flights/ships from China go everywhere and they also use the same airports that other destinations will use. The only thing that could have prevented it was for China to close it's own borders and let no one leave.
We've been through far, far worse than this. It's going to a difficult year and there is still a long way to go, but we will come out of it. In 10 years we will look back and remember this time but we won't still be rebuilding from it.
