Scientists now questioning whether schools should be closed
https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/health-52180783Seen that earlier. The bit from the professor from Nottingham Trent university is interesting quoting “ the flimsy evidence the current model is based on”

Interesting factoid
- Currently, about one third of humanity is in a „lockdown“, which is more people than lived during the Second World War.

Phew, thought for a moment that some new guidance had been issued about COVID.

I don't agree. it's important that we don't over react. IMO she was stupid to think no one would notice but it shouldn't mean she has to give up her job. I really think we're in danger of taking this too far. What next? Jail? Is anyone else who flaunts this "instruction" losing their jobs? Too many "holier than thou" critics as far as I'm concerned.
I have to agree, she obviously has skills and experience we really need right now, however it looks like she took the decision herself to resign. The FM didn’t appear to want her to leave.
I have just watched the news and the strap line appears to be’ no one is above the rules’ let’s test that out then and ask Prince Charles to make a public apology at the least. -

The Scottish Sun had reported that Catherine Calderwood had defied the government advice and travelled to her 2nd home 40 miles away and stayed overnight with her family.
Aye, do what I tell you and not what I do is her message.
My wife and other within the MESH campaign have had lots of meetings with her and it is fair to say they don't like each others.
Lying 2 face bitch is the most common thing said about her by the MESH women.
I see she has now resigned, I wonder if Prince Charles will now stand down after he travelling to his 2nd home in Scotland?

I witnessed a Mark Yardley goal away to Patrick Thistle, possibly 1996? He was holding the ball with his back to goal and a defender very tight on him, he did two keepy ups, flicked the ball up and over the head of the defender, whilst simultaneously spinning around him and volleying the ball into the top corner from the edge of the box. It was a thing of beauty

Sorry just me, been here a while, just trying to keep an open mind.

I also think that people underestimate the power of stress on peoples physical health. Stress is a killer.

There are some interesting studies appearing which are going against the current perceived wisdom.
- In a 40-minute interview, the internationally renowned epidemiology professor Knut Wittkowski from New York explains that the measures taken on Covid19 are all counterproductive. Instead of „social distancing“, school closures, „lock down“, mouth masks, mass tests and vaccinations, life must continue as undisturbed as possible and immunity must be built up in the population as quickly as possible. According to all findings to date, Covid-19 is no more dangerous than previous influenza epidemics. Isolation now would only cause a „second wave“ later.
- The British Medical Journal (BMJ) reports that, according to the latest data from China, 78% of new test-positive individuals show no symptoms. This is a further indication of the relative harmlessness of the virus and raises the question whether the short-term increase in pneumonia in Wuhan may have had other causes, including the very strong winter smog.

"The launch of 5G will be similar to turning on your microwave, opening its door, and leaving it on for the rest of your life. There’s a good reason why hundreds of scientists are taking action against the wireless industry[4]."
This would be an ideal time for our older, lefty-minded , vulnerable posters to visit mother Russia as there is no 5g there . they could bask in Red Square with no mind to be being blasted by waves 100 times stronger than 4G because mother Russia has no 5G and is safe .......................................................... .for the time being

This was on the BBC website the other day, no matter how you cut it, it’s bad news all round
What about the impact of the lockdown?
The lockdown, itself, however could cost lives.
Prof Robert Dinwall, from Nottingham Trent University, says "the collateral damage to society and the economy" could include:
- mental health problems and suicides linked to self-isolation
- heart problems from lack of activity
- the impact on health from increased unemployment and reduced living standards
Others have also pointed to the health cost from steps such as delaying routine operations and cancer screening.
Meanwhile, University of Bristol researchers say the benefit of a long-term lockdown in reducing premature deaths could be outweighed by the lost life expectancy from a prolonged economic dip.
And the tipping point, they say, is a 6.4% decline in the size of the economy - on a par with what happened following the 2008 financial crash.
It would see a loss of three months of life on average across the population because of factors from declining living standards to poorer health care.

Dr. Richard Capek and other researchers have already shown that the number of test-positive individuals in relation to the number of tests performed remains constant in all countries studied so far, which speaks against an exponential spread („epidemic“) of the virus and merely indicates an exponential increase in the number of tests.
Depending on the country, the proportion of test-positive individuals is between 5 and 15%, which corresponds to the usual spread of corona viruses. Interestingly, these constant numerical values are not actively communicated (or even removed) by authorities and the media. Instead, exponential but irrelevant and misleading curves are shown without context.
Such behavior, of course, does not correspond to professional medical standards, as a look at the traditional influenza report of the German Robert Koch Institute makes clear (p. 130, see chart below). Here, in addition to the number of detections (right), the number of samples (left, grey bars) and the positive rate (left, blue curve) are shown.
This immediately shows that during a flu season the positive rate rises from 0 to 10% to up to 80% of the samples and drops back to the normal value after a few weeks. In comparison, Covid19 tests show a constant positive rate in the normal range (see below).
No mention of the results of testing in
- An extensive survey in Iceland found that 50% of all test-positive persons showed „no symptoms“ at all, while the other 50% mostly showed „very moderate cold-like symptoms“. According to the Icelandic data, the mortality rate of Covid19 is in the per mille range, i.e. in the flu range or below. Of the two test-positive deaths, one was „a tourist with unusual symptoms“. (More Icelandic data)

Sorry for posting the above if it’s already been posted previously, it’s today’s Swiss doctor update.

I suppose the basic fact is that people don’t do as there told, stop smoking it kills you, don’t drink and drive it kills, don’t park in disabled bays if your not disabled. We are a flawed species.
