Hello decadence
Want this the project Doms mate says he could do? Classic Dom.
I think Palantir is still going to get its sticky hands on our data, if we have the misfortune to get sick......

.....and guess what, the UK has abandoned the NHSX centralised app in favour of Apple/Google. How much of our money was wasted in this show of British exceptionalism? Enough to paint a plane?
But only if Harding "decides it has been made fit for purpose" So she know's more than the two biggest technology and software companies. Remind me what's she got in way of anything even close to the the skills, knowledge , or even basic experience to know a fig about anything?
Yesterday she said from the IOW trail they found out that if a human asks them to isolate they are more likely to do. Than if a faceless app tells them. Well who'd have thought that ? Before all this latest mess up a quarter of the people traced and contacted could not be found. It's just unraveling and we still open up and risk everything. All we need now is a data leak and her work is complete.

So all the mess up with the NHSX app is all down to Apple. We started working on one before Apple/google did once we found out we stated testing with both. Matt says well sorry mate but every thing you said is total lies. The NHSX app was long dead duck long before it even got off paper. Before you went live it was made clear it did not met Apple standard but no off you went blindly onwards with tigers in your ears.
It sounds like the report that NHSX is dead is wrong they want both the "best bits" of NHSX and best bits of Apple/google app and make yet anther one. No date is given as to when at this rate a vaccine may have come before the app.

In other news Matt reports who get's the vaccine will be "led by the science"
Front-line health and social care working , 50+ and heart and kidney disease are to get the vaccine 1st once we get one say's Matt.

So we are told we are getting more out brakes but it's fine as deaths are down and hospital cases are down.
Right that's not how this works one is not a trade off for the other it shows that this are starting to come unstuck.

If anyone still believes this virus only attacks the old. Today’s reported deaths include a 13 day old baby.
Before you say anything they had no underlying conditions.
RIP little one.

Had lecture / update today on testing from the infection and virology leads today. Lot of it was technical but underlined the dangerous nature of SARS CoV 2 as a very successful pathogen which is still out there. Needs hunting down with testing, testing, testing carried out by trained swab people with fast turn around.

The Roche test we use was evaluated on about 2000 very old stored blood samples (way pre covid) to test for false positives. After 29 positive tests on known people who have had COVID was licensed and bought by the UK. Background positive tests around here generally 10% and in London hospital workers 47% so all the lecturers would say was they expect the hospital staff to be between 10% and 47%.

""The cause of death is not yet known. Tests have confirmed that the child had Covid-19, but it isn't yet clear if it was a contributing factor."

Little one could well have been one of the 80% that would not even have shown symptoms. You seem very keen to jump to conclusions.

RIP to the little mite anyhow.

Looks like there's a cluster in Leicester. :sad:. The lecturer today went on about nosicomal infections, I guess that's why hospitals are doing what they are doing.

A Conservative MP for a husband is surely just coincidental...


By way of another coincidence, she's also apparently on the board of the Jockey Club.

Edit to add: She's a Conservative peer too.
