Arrived today, very easy/obvious to use. Says I'm currently 98/99% when resting. Which sounds good to me. Not sure if it ever says anything different, like if I was actually ill. Still, it looks good to me and told me what I was expecting to see.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

more please!Say what?
I’d heard about this, it hits home. It’s my local hospital, I was born there and so was my son. My Mum (isolating, COPD) is normally there daily assessing children and my sister is now there daily after being redeployed from another care facility.
Literally spending the days crossing our fingers at this point.
So he'd gone full hazmat but she hadn't?
Was she wearing a mask we at all or even looking suitably embarrassed by the whole thing?
Shelterinees. Like shelters but smaller.
Just open everything up and let what happens happen. Bored now. Next.
Ahh OK. Still doesn't make fecking sense to me. I'm off to bed.
It is 70-80% effective against the most severe forms of TB. Less so for milder strains.

On a side note, BCG was an absolute cnut of an injection that took ages to heal.
Thank you. Great interview.

Possibly a stupid question but what would "Other" likely be?
The streets, bro.
Homeless people on the street? Doctors' offices? Prisons?
Coronavirus: Social restrictions 'to remain for rest of year'

I have been thinking about the damage that a lack of screening and elective surgeries will cause and sure enough, there is an article on it:

A shame there is not any hard data on expected years lost due to the coronavirus. Big-picture wise, lockdowns may actually be the greater of two evils.

The test was more annoying than the actual injection if I remember.
My previous professor/boss was very interested in aptamers. One of the main drawbacks though is cost. At least when he was teaching me (2014), the cost was something like a thousand dollars for a single dose (for a medicine you need to take every month).
Damn right it was mate. I’ve still got the scar now.
Holy shit the mayor of Las Vegas is stupid

Totally to be expected
the post lockdown strategy would have to be that IF society can be re-structured to properly implement physical distancing (until nation is fully vaccinated), UK NHS now has enough capacity, staff and PPE to deal with serious cases, which should never be as high as pre lockdown peak because of physical distancing and reduced socialisation.
In such a society, the outcomes of contact tracing become the key disrupter, as people get quarantined at a moments notice, as soon as they are identified being in close contact with an infected person. All employers will have to be able to manage such absenteeism and continual disruption.
Can’t see opportunity for mass gatherings and doubt many restaurants or drinking places can make profit with limited numbers. No idea how international travel will work or how we interact with loved elders in but locking them away devoid of family contact til vaccination doesn’t sound like it will work.
May as well get used to it as can’t see how it works otherwise without mass vaccination or herd immunity.
Reading comments on Polish websites I’m terrified how strongly opposed to a potential vaccine people are. There are thousands of comments under each article about vaccine development and 98% of them are about not wanting it because ‘they will chip us’ and ‘it will do more harm than good like all vaccines in the past’.
We really need a disease that will wipe out morons.

Says the CEO of a firm about to start selling an antibody test. Hmmmm?
In one sense he is right. A vaccine isn't a given before the end of 2021 by any means. But ............
It's the same here, especially as Djokovic went on record saying he did not want a vaccine a couple of days ago.
It is alarming how anti-intellectual people are.
Natural selection at work. Although since it mainly kills older people who won't be reproducing not as much as it could be.
I thought the same when reading the article.
On a different subject, if it indeed lasts that long (or more), I would not be surprised to see governments say feck it and let it run loose.
Let it run loose and the economy would be devastated, even more so than is already inevitable, so it would be dumb indeed. But given the current bunch of clowns in charge who knows?
The thing is, I am not sure it is that clear cut. Dont know if you saw the bbc link i posted a few posts ago about a cancer doctor predicting delays in cancer diagnosis due to lockdown will cause more years of life lost than covid-19?
Ultimately, there is a question mark over whether a few months of complete covid disaster is worse than 20 months of mediocre covid disaster. I would like to see comparative predictions, but with years of life lost, not lives in absolute terms.
The maths on that just don't work due to the slow development of cancer. Not that it won't have some effect.
And the way to get everyday medicine going again is to lock down and get R well under 1.
Australia is starting almost normal medical services next week because they have things well under control. Massively hit countries won't be able to do this because a) medical services are at or above capacity and b) you can't have uninfected people in hospitals where the virus is raging.
I think mankind will accept any sequence or combination of 'medicines' to get around covid19.
If Roche anti-body test works as claimed, they'll make an instant fortune across the globe, even if it has limited usefulness until vaccines available for masses. Given its been produced so quickly, doubt they invested that much $R&D.
