Coronavirus - political views - supporting or otherwise...

Some might say you are talking down the UK with all these rational nonsense... We have left and we will take time as deemed appropriate for our country

Well, there was no necessity to leave the EMA with Brexit. We will certainly take time, perhaps an extra year or two to get some new medicines and fewer clinical trials in the NHS since it is no longer relevant to EMA approval.

Was there a specific reason for EMA taking nearly a month longer than UK to approve the use of remdesivir?

As you well know, that had nothing to do with approval times, and as I have pointed out, there was no delay anyhow.

Wow that seems like pretty serious cronyism to me.
Trouble is that the Tory Government has voted in laws to allow them to do this.

Cases rising. Government corrupt and incompetent. Cool, cool.

There are a number of these, and some more in the ventilator procurement process too. Never let a crisis go to waste, as they say.

Or just ignore what was posted and play the posters!

Why don’t you give the “nice balanced views” that you believe must be missing.

Once again it proves you’re a troll, you get the chance to put a sensible point of view over and instead you try and play me.

Sad man.

We naive fools clearly just get it, why a massive contract for PPE is handed without tendering to a company which has never made, imported or sourced a scrap of PPE in the short time it has existed, since being created by a political ally. Please enlighten us.

Someone clear this up for me. I am not saying I believe any of the following - however...

We are making very significant economic and impacting decisions based upon levels of positive cases picked up through testing. As we are testing a lot more we are picking up a lot more positive cases. Many of these positive cases could be false positives as the level of the virus (if it is there) may be at a very low level in an individual. If the virus is at a very low level in an individual it is very unlikely to be shed and infect others. So we look to a test that only indicates a positive infection if there is a significant level of infection - significant being a level that will present a risk of infection of others. I have heard that there are such antigen tests available that can provide a result as quickly as a pregnancy test.

The logic then goes that as we are only really interested in individuals who have the virus at a level that is transmittable, then that 'less sensitive' test is, in fact, what we want. And as it is so quick and inexpensive we can potentially take the test daily. And as positives with the test are 'real' and 'dangerous', these individuals isolate, and contacts traced. And we do not react and make significant decisions based upon numbers of positives that could either be false positives or not significant and 'dangerous'.

To be knocked down. Tell me where the logic fails.

I can only comment on things as I see them and I was impressed with some swift action where I work in Melton. Earlier in the week, results were showing that cases here may be spiking (OK not massive figures but an increase from 4 to 16 cases) and there was concern over a food plant. Anyway, only a few days later and the car park that I normally use is now a covid testing site. That all happened very quickly.
