Any chance of finding out WHICH company is behind the test?
Remember Owen Patterson’s Randox?

Coronavirus: Harley Street clinic has sold 2,000 home test kits to celebs and wealthy - Mirror Online mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/c…
Remember Randox was under investigation at one stage for faking 10k test results - and 40 convictions had to be quashed as a result?

And they seem to be trying to flog a #CV19 test.

Don’t these have to undergo any approval to see if they work reliably?

HT @CryptoTrashBat for jogging my memory

I mean.. MPs wouldn’t be seeking to profit from #COVID19 would they? Surely not?

How CV19 Could Take Over Your Body

This is essential reading as science writer, Jeff Wise spells out the journey of CV19 through the air & into & thro’ bodies explicitly & (too?!) colourfully.

Social distancing takes on a colourful meaning, Tim Martin nymag.com/intelligencer/…
It starts off like a normal day in Covidland
You try to be good, decide to meet a fried outdoors.
Used hand sanitiser
Keep a distance.

But, unknown your friend’s Dad had contracted COVID 10 days ago.

When your friend, his son was visiting, the Dad, breathed in 32456 particles
Altho’ it transmits in droplets & other waste, it aerosols eg when coughed out before settling on surfaces.

So the virus makes its way inside your friends body, multiplying ever since. Virus-ladened droplets wafts over your table & settle on your uneaten food.

312405 particles

Chinese studies: CV19 sheds virus particulars for 20 days, both transmitting pre and post symptoms, suggesting quarantine periods may need to be longer raising new containment challenges.

Ingrained hand washing & hygiene measures particularly important.

scmp.com/news/china/soc…
Answering one of my questions, it seems that those given anti viral medication, did not reduce the period of the virus shedding.

This may mean that anti virals should be administered for longer.
It is estimated that 44% of transmissions occur before the infected person displays symptoms.

Contact tracing and isolation alone unlikely to be successful at containment, hence the need for social distancing an excellent hygiene

Lessons learned from South Korea — Outbreak Observatory

Also a reminder that by far the largest group testing positive for #CV were in the 20-29 age group (& linked to the Shincheongi religious community.

Next largest 50-59 yr old.
outbreakobservatory.org/outbreakthursd…
It is therefore a very different demographic to Italy. BUT South Korea learned from the hard experience of MERS in 2015 where they realised they had to contain the spread early on and that needed both diagnostic testing and systematic tracing plus quarantine

And they were ready
Not only had they had a very hard experience from MERS but that led to a systematic review and action plan ready should another such outbreak occur. It felt real.
And they tested it.

And corrected it

And realised in December that neighbouring China might have something similar

#BREXIT craziness update so maybots deal is blown out of the water l. Similarly corbyns vote of no confidence fails and won't be backed by SNP and lib dems

Corbyn meanwhile refuses to talk #BREXIT without no deal being ruled out despite knowing she can't do this whilst maybot makes no concessions either.
