    Yet in Liverpool its 1 in 200 according to the mass testing. 44,000 tested.

    The Zoe App has the R rate at 0.9 with cases falling in all areas except the West Midlands.

    Imperial has had an appalling record through this Covid period. Quite how it's still in the game is beyond me.

    I can believe that, just as I believe some people draw appalling conclusions.

    The ongoing Ipsos - MORI study of actual cases is one thing. Hard data.

    Mathematical modelling is another. But then forecasting the future has always been tricky.

    Imperial have had difficulty forecasting the past.

    Sorry Stolly. I take it you are familiar with this heathen's contributions. I'm not.

    I just listened with no pre-existing knowledge.

    Perhaps you can take some time and compile a couple of lists? Those who are approved to give opinions and those who aren't, so I can avoid the error of putting forward the opinion of someone who has been blacklisted.

    It wasn't even just Julia Hartley-Brewer, the points being made by the pathologist weren't in any way convincing either; Hartlet-brewer obviously scratched around to find someone to support a particular view she wanted to make herself and then tried to imply that its a some kind of real expert overview. At best its a very minor point being made about block testing identifying a small set of false positives, that "force" people to self isolate unnecessarily (but you know, better to be on the safe side I'd have thought) whilst at the same time in some way trying to infer that the block testing, in identifying a relatively low rate of infection, was in some way a bad thing!

    All in all a bit rubbish but, although my knee jerk reaction was to switch off as soon as JHB came on (no tell a lie as soon as the advert with Nigel fecking Farage that preceded it came on), I actually stayed the course and listened to it. And like I said it was still a bit rubbish

    No pleasing you, you're such a pessimist Stolly.

    Haha you need to check the polarity of your compass Witton - I think your north is pointing south... and has been since at least 2016
