You fail to understand the nature of medicine in general that has been the case for the past 30 years or so. Clinicians have become conditioned to be totally risk averse, in a world inhabited by an ever litigious public. 

 

I'd have thought there would be a decent feedback loop in medicine?

In other areas it's non existent. Media, politics, academia all give attention to those who make bold or eye-catching predictions. But nobody keeps score on these predictions, so it's impossible to tell the difference between noisy bluffers and people with genuine insight.

Been reading some of the superforecasters stuff, and the number one way to improve all this is to keep score.

Haha, money lost and he gets a bit of stick, which is more than happens in many more important cases.

I'm going to make a prediction. Come autumn Sturgeon will decide we need a 'short sharp lockdown' because of rising numbers. Boris will refuse to fund furlough and there will be lots of squabbling and chat about how we don't have control of all the levers etc.

Bookmarked

Aye like the "2 week circuit breaker" at Christmas we're about to gradually start coming out of next week.  Farce

[sheepcrooky]

Pretty sure the original targets were all over 50’s and vulnerable groups by mid April. 
Never seen anything about the early 40’s by mid April.

Nothing dodgy about all this at all.

Anyone know the script with the airport after Monday?

Are you able to get a food / pint airside?

Yeah nae bother Africa, just have it for free, forget the hundreds of millions it would have cost to invent and manufacture, you just go ahead and have it for nowt. These companies are almost doing the vaccines at cost anyway, the profits and dividends are from the huge range of other good things they've designed to save lives. Why shouldn't they profit. Why doesn't Africa invent its own one instead of putting the begging bowl out.

I got mine through the taxes I pay for the hard graft I put in every day.

Triple mutant strain in India 

Not even sure what that means but it sounds really bad. Lockdown

330,000 positive tests today.

Over 2,000 deaths everyday but it's obvious that's way under reported.

Saw a clip on the news where they are burning bodies on the street because the crematoriums are at capacity.

Can only get worse.

Is it because the virus is worse or because India’s a fucking midden and their health system is inadequate? Running out of oxygen and the likes...

Of course their deaths are underreported due to their caste system, a lot of the population are not even classed as humans.

I read on Twitter (I know!) that it was the Kent variant that is rife over there, which could make sense due to our historical  ties with India.

Big cocks though

I’ll shed no tears for India.

The best ones are over here anyway.

You'd think someone would step up with Africa and just go wooooh, woooh, FFS, this isn't working. You've produced some top class runners but the continent just isn't working. You invent fuck all, you live in fucking hovels, you have wars and famine, you're not a holiday destination despite the sun. Merge the Countries and put the white man in control, know the chinks are there trying something similar but lets beat them to the race. Educate them and feed them, bring back controlled slavery for the poor who can't feed themselves, try and stop them shagging to rid them of aids, we really should help.

I’ve been on holiday to Africa (Ghana), it was great but I understand why folk prefer Spain.

Africans seem quite happy to live in hovels, not be the inventors... not strive for more. I find that quite endearing, happy with their lot. Inner peace etc.

[manboobs109]

Mind all those daft old wifeys going to Ghana to get pummeled and moaning coz the big black cunts were bumping them out of money and that. Stupid old cunts.

Edit might have been Gambia

They're lazy, fair enough. Just don't come crying to the west when we've worked to get them a vaccine to save them. Don't come crying when war, famine and corruption tears them apart. They're letting the chinks take over, they see the opportunity. Nigeria is the strictest Country in the World to import into, my work has nightmares with the cunts, 20% tax on everything, pallets need heat treat certificates etc or you get fined, that money won't filter to society. Rip it up, start again.

A guy who’d served his quarantine sentence after arriving in Oz is now asymptomatically positive for the covids.  Apparently he caught it in quarantine. Well done to all involved.

Perth is now locked down for the long weekend. The feds say they are unable to stop people getting away for the break to places where there is no lockdown. Genius.

Will just have to tough it out by my pool.
