Cummins (no relation to "Dom") is a lockdown sceptic and anti-masker, he's been pumping out this pseudo-science since the start. Dominic Pimenta (an actual doctor) has done quite a nice blow-by-blow takedown of this latest piffle https://twitter.com/juniordrblog/status/1306950058391281665 |

Yes, agree there. But that was as much about the messaging as anything else, same with the "Boris has saved the summer holidays" bollocks No 10 were pushing, all about "Yeah, we're on top of this and it's fine". Pubs and socialising indoors generally are a big factor, but complacency in all indoor settings is a massive problem. Hence why they needed to roll out Whitty and Vallance today to deliver a serious warning in proper grown up talk.
Agree. People people won't take notice as much as last time if there is a lockdown. Public are not onside like they were previously. Cummings doing what he did and the lies/hypocrisy from the government to blame for that. |

and mixed messages too.
on that one I get the need to balance economy and health.
But people see it as 'you can go down the pub, but not see 7 facility members - what's the difference'.
which is totally understandable.
so yes more nuanced restrictions is what it should be. But it's definitely going to dilute the message.

So, eminently qualified to know more about "science data and logic" than Whitty and Vallance. I hope they're suitably ashamed of themselves.
I understand that Denise Welch and Matt Le Tissier have a presser timetabled for later this afternoon. |

Had a fairly long chat with the pharmacist mate of mine yesterday afternoon whilst we were having a bike ride together!
He seems cautiously confident that a vaccine will be available for healthcare workers either December or very soon after the new year, with it being rolled out after that.

Downing St have announced that from Thursday you will be able to download the long awaited Test and Trace app. But without the Tracing bit. Shambles doesn't begin to cover it.
Still it's another few million quid of taxpayers' money stashed away for Cummings and Gove's mates, so that's the main thing

I am but a bear of little brain, but if it doesn't trace nor test what is the point of it! |

to book tests and get results.
it may or may not have a QR code reader so that you can "check in" to pubs and restaurants, etc
i.e. it's a bit shit but not quite totally useless if they've included the last bit. assuming the last bit doesn't just redirect you to the pubs own website and logs you automatically.
