Corona Virus

It seems a bizarre issue to destroy him, when he’s done so much that’s so much worse — corruption in public office, endorsing breaches of the Ministerial Code, making political protest an imprisonable offence. But, as with Al Capone, whatever opportunity arises to end his parasitic career is one worth taking.

We did tell you he was unfit for office, didn’t we?

I'm not actually sure he is to blame for this particular matter, but someone has to take responsibility and an organisation rots from the head. I could and did forgive certain things but there has been too much and despite the intentional drip feed of damaging news (probably sourced via Dominic Cummins), it is clear that the Britsh people were being taken for a ride by the Government and the Modellers. Ferguson should also resign for being way too negative and having it away with his 'bit' at the height of lockdown as well.

I am disappointed, as Boris is clearly a person who gets things done and gets the things done that people want doing. There are few politicians who can do that. Life would have been an awful lot better if Boris had come down on the side of Remain. I reckon he would now be seen as a Statesman, forcing through changes in the way the EU operate to everyone's benefit. But we are where we are and it is time for either Rishi or Truss.

I wouldn't say Boris got things done, he waits until he's backed into a corner and the decision is made for him is what I have observed.
Who is going to replace him ? He is in the position until the ERG decide he has served his purpose. Brexit is not complete, he is there until the job is done, that's his baby. There is currently a divide between a low tax Brexit economy and where the UK is now.

The Red Wall is just noise, a nice to have, they couldn't believe their luck that happened but it's not a decider for CHQ.

But the 53% of the voters who wanted out got what they wanted. Out. No one said it would be pretty... Even Farage said that (after the fact).

It was always going to be a buggers muddle which was why I held my nose and voted Remain.

Thank you for your kindness, but I forgot my actual point.

I was under the impression that the chances of a false negative from a PCR test were minuscule hence it's use as the determining measure all over the world. Yet, the NHS/RBH say that it takes 2 tests / 2 days to be sure.

Are they being excessively cautious or have I been labouring under a misconception?

PCR detects viral genetic material, even in tiny quantities, so it tends to still show positive even when the viral dose has fallen below the level that could infect someone else. So yes, very few false negatives. But I can imagine that in the hospital context, confirmation is everything, because an infectious patient missed by a faulty or mis-done test could have lethal consequences.

For many people you can still test positive months after recovering from Covid. Apart from Novax who tested negative or so he says, 6 days later. Who believes him?
