A little something that might be of interest...

I recently received a letter from Ipsos Mori asking me to take part in a COVID-19 in-home antibody testing research study.

The home-test kit arrived Monday, and I took the test Wednesday. Disappointingly - though perhaps unsurprisingly - I tested negative for antibodies. After taking the test, I had to fill in a long questionaire covering subjects such as my behaviour during lockdown.

[Proviso: The literature that came with the test repeatedly points out that the test is not reliable at an individual level. The purpose of the study is to estimate how many people have been infected with COVID-19.]

North East on major restriction as from midnight tonight

From Southern most parts of Durham to northern most pats of Northumberland - west towards the Penines but not Cumbria or Yorkshire.

Worrying

Can you imagine?  These rule breakers are not listening to the government ( who would?) , scientists or the law, why should they listen to Joe Bloggs?

Apart from what you have posted, would anyone in their right mind want to confront people who are breaking the law? Not me ...

Looks like Lancashire is going in now too 

I've read many times that this virus (man made in a laboratory and deliberately released to destroy capitalism) is highly contagious.

So why aren't people wearing masks in the high street? This will be the next advice  - mark my words

The UK government is considering taking further England-wide measures including a short period of restrictions across the country to try to slow a second surge of coronavirus cases.

BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg has been told that a few weeks of national rules - or a "circuit break" - could be announced in the next week.

Schools and workplaces would be kept open during those weeks.

But no final decisions have yet been reached on the next course of action.

I'm sure a lot of people were saying the 'opening up' was too soon and too quick!

Exactly EFFT ....anyone with an ounce of common sense could see the dangers . 

Begins to look like we're going to end up with 'herd immunity' whether we want it or not!!!!
