The article is confused on the point but it seems like 2 people have gotten rare neurological conditions but have both been declared as having a preexisting condition so it's fiiiiine. So the independent regulator has already given the green light in that case, PHEW Also theyr halving the threshold at which they can decide the vaccine is effective so that's good.

Guavanaut posted:I'd almost like to see just one leader come out with a truly crazy take on it, like "I would immediately decommission Trident by airbursting it 1000ft above Brussels and Strasbourg" just to see what the reaction to it within the chattering classes would be. They're fake aghast at the idea that someone would never use nukes, so what would their reaction to the opposite extreme be? Or answer in "the only winning move is not to play" galaxy brain style by confirming that should the bombs start flying, you'll immediately nuke your own country so the enemy can't win. Checkmate.

Aren't these all also "Long Covid" symptoms? Literally no idea if there's a connection, but has to be something worth investigating.

ok so i've just done the slight amount of reading about the coronavirus that i can manage to do in a week or so about the current views on it staying on surfaces, and as I know there are surely total nerds on here who have done thirty times the reading up: can someone yell at me that I do not in fact need to wipe clean a bunch of my groceries and parcels and keep most of the rest in week-long quarantine in a corner of the living room, so that I can go back to not doing that. i feel the power of getting yelled at on an internet forum will help to counter the power of general vague anxiety. perhaps we can take from this a good case study as to why it is good to have reliable and trustworthy guidance on safety from a central government based on useful facts and public interest, rather than the government giving a bunch of contradictory and half-arsed vague instructions that seem to mainly be based on their economic plans and relying on each citizen to Personal Responsibility themselves a safety strategy under threat of being personally blamed for the virus - as it turns out, personally researching a virus is somewhat draining even if you do manage to avoid the facebook groups telling you it's all invented by bill gates

AFAIK there has yet to be a confirmed case resulting from fomite transmission. I think it’s massive overkill and you shouldn’t feel bad or in danger for not doing it.

Cover your mouth and nose when you're inside (excluding your own home obvs) and maintain basic hygiene standards (eg wash your hands on a reasonable schedule). You don't need to wipe down your groceries - the chance of catching it through touching something is absolutely minuscule compared to airborne transmission. I hope that helps. On that sorta subject, having finally accepted that we're gonna be wearing masks for quite a while I made the effort this week to go online and buy a few 'nice' masks, as opposed to the disposables and freebies i've been using so far. Both new ones that I bought so far are super tight on my ears compared to the ones I've been using so far and for obvious reasons there's no returns, so that's frustrating. The quest continues. Anybody wanna recommend any sellers? Just looking for nice plain cotton masks in different colours. blunt fucked around with this message at 12:38 on Sep 20, 2020 |

While we're at it, what are the odds on spitting image doing a Corbyn puppet but not a Stairmaster one. The odds are impossible to calculate, best expressed as an abstract fractal, spiralling upwards not forwards and always twirling, twirling, twirling toward freedom.

The only thing Keir's 'strategy' has going for it is that Boris is the Prime Minister. When covid-1 is dealt with and the Tories kick Boris out of a window and usher in someone else, Keir's hosed.

Following my exposure last week to a covid positive colleague I now have a tickly feeling in my throat and feel that I'm needing to cough to clear it more often but it's not a full on cough I can't hold back. I'm massively second guessing myself about if I should get tested or not - no temperature or loss of taste or smell but I am feeling very tired and lacking massively in energy. My husband is a teacher so I feel like I should play it safe but also don't want to waste testing capacity and the nearest test centre is 45 minutes away :/

OwlFancier posted:I would be happier if I didn't think it was likely to work. its more likely to work than corbyns plan of appealing to democracy in an oligarchal monarchy and pretending he's leader while his staff publically tears him to shreds with no consequences but im of two minds over whether kiers strategy is a good idea or a really loving stupid one. its definitely a good plan to suck up to the media and change all your policies to whatever suits the class interests of the ruling class, if you aren't gonna run some kinda radical strategy for running roughshod over them thats the only real option but he's running an "i'm proud of britaine" campaign, when i think this might actually be a uniquely bad time to do that. all the actual pro-britain nuts are voting bojo anyway, whereas i think some centrists are finally coming round to the idea that britain is actually a loving basketcase of corruption and our ruling class couldn't organise a sex party at prince andrew's palace. obviously the purpose of kier is to act as a release valve for this, to go "no we can do this competently" and try to disappate all of that (failing and making things worse, naturally) while still continuing the corruption and malfeasance of the state since thats been his whole career. he'll make it so the russian and saudi oligarchs have to sign everything in triplicate when they buy MPs. i guess maybe it happened with tony? but i don't really see that tories are gonna vote for labour though, which seems to be their whole plan. bojos plan is just to fire up his base with culture war poo poo and get them all frothing and foaming, whereas kiers plan is the opposite, trash his base and appeal directly to the media and ruling class as the least threatening man possible to their interests

I think that it is quite likely to win starmer the premiership, but I think equally that it doesn't matter whether he does, because he is likely to win it by continuing tory policy.

itd be funny to go back to february and tell myself how the government is handling the covid thing at the end of september i'm pretty pessimistic about things but back then i was like "boy the government are sure gonna have to deal with this otherwise thousands could die" now 6 months wiser i know there is literally nothing they have to do and probably half the population could die without comment as long as we didn't see them die on the news or if we did but it got blamed on mosques or antifa e: the combo of mass propaganda and simple divide and conquer culture war might be unbeatable
