More fake news or someone wanting their 5 minutes of fame? They were increasing in my area.

It's not dipped in my area despite what the media tries to tell us.  How we are in Tier 2 ............ because we don't get regular death rates it's difficult to believe what is happening  :-\ .  Rates are often 7-10 days behind.  Those that die within so many days of having a positive test, what's that about?  What did they actually die from?  We are being led to believe it was C-19 but due to patient confidentiality, the public can't be told exactly what the underlying conditions were and how they as well as the Virus, contributed to their death.

It's up to you what you think but Tim Spector and the Zoe App are well known, with a good reputation.

He is a Professor of Epidemiology at King's College London.

Hopefully some people will find the article interesting.

And do you really believe 4 out of 10 doctors won't have the vaccination? From a source with unknown provenance.
I find it extremely hard to believe that this app has better data than the nhs and the government. Have they really got more people contributing to it than the nhs with the same national coverage? I don't doubt the app says rates were slowing but it's only as good as the data.

That is from a different thread and I did give the link, so not unknown at all.

It's your choice as to what you believe, or not.

Oh, headline news today.  Cases down by 30%.  That's good new I believe.

However, those without symptoms are testing positive!  Who to believe?  We're headed towards the Festive Season so it's bound to be on the dire side and I see that Wales has to shut Pubs from 6.30 p.m. as from Friday  :'(.  Or close completely, forever.   >:(

Sweden have had a surge of deaths too ..........

Hello ladies.

 I understand that good ventilation helps to  decrease the viral load so I plan to be regularly opening windows when we have more people in the house. If anyone begins to feel cold they can put another jumper on lol!

Take care everyone.

I said it was unknown provenance not that you didn't give the link.

Provenance means origin.  The origin of the survey is the medical mag Medscape, who conducted it.  Hence the link is the orgin/provenance.

Hope that helps.

Lewis Hamilton has it apparently. Likely to miss the next two races.

This argument is pointless. Yes, it's medscape which is hardly a well known site. And as it's   .com it's probably American so doubtful it's relevant to the UK anyway.

Wonder who financed the details,  ? Peer reviewed ? how old?

R main worry should be how patients being treated in hospital are being affected!
