yup, i remember the BCG jab at school, (showing me age)

[alphorn] 31/3/2020 11:10

Several very old medicines are being reviewed for effectiveness against the new virus.
A six month trial with some 4,000 health workers in hospitals across Australia will be administered the BCG vaccine. An anti-tuberculous vaccine that was given to thousands of British schoolchildren in the past. (The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) jab was developed a century ago to increase immunity to TB — a bacterial lung infection).

I am sure many here remember it.

I wonder how long the original vaccination is effective?

I own you though. Here little gerbil.

[gaffer73] 31/3/2020 10:55

You own nothing, maybe 2 pounds in your piggy bank.

[smartie6] 31/3/2020 10:54

Anyone want to buy a gerbil with a little tail?

Chloroquine is a really old drug, every country has it apart from the UK ? really ???

Chloroquine, or hydroxychloroquine, has been used to treat malaria since 1944. It can be given before exposure to malaria to prevent infection, and it can also be given as treatment afterward.

I own you now little boy. Lol.

"jl5006 many people believe that the Chinese may have a lot to answer for this virus with their disgusting wet markets where they kill and eat all wild animals"

We must applaud our own domestic Virologists from the past . . . We survived the Jellied Eel Virus . . . The Black Pudding Virus , , , The Cumberland Sausage Virus . . . . not forgetting the Welsh Lava Bread Virus.

Coming soon the Fish, Chips and Mushy Pea Virus and the dreaded Yorkshire Pudding Virus....Can we survive these?

You’ll be jumping a lot earlier than that if they announce a dividend cancellation. Lol.

@Ajim
"WHY are we in the UK not using it ?"

Shortage of the key ingredients???

HydroxyChloroquine

Zinc Sulphate

Z-Pak(Azithromycin)

How many do we have in stock? And where do we get resupply from?

China?

India?(Who gets most of its API's from, you guessed it, China)

Fighting The Coronavirus: Good Learnings From Germany



p.s Mr.Elbee.

It is indisputably worse than the flu.

CFR
Flu - 0.1%
NCov- 0.4% - 3%

R0
Flu - 1.28
nCov - 2.5-3.5

Serious complication rate
Flu <1%
nCov = 15-20%

How is it not worse than the flu?

[smartie6] 31/3/2020 10:48

Gaffer’s thinking how can I respond to that. This Smartie is a king amongst men. Whilst I, Gaffer, am just a gerbil.

SPARTANs kill the gerbil filth.

a Dr has been using that combo in the US for a week or two now, 100% success, 4 patients sent to hospital, all home recoveries, WHY are we in the UK not using it ?



OR maybe there is another reason they want us at home safe, are the dark times upon us ?

[crossing_the_rubicon] 31/3/2020 10:45

Seems a concoction of drugs costing c$25 is the way to go...

Treatment -

HydroxyChloroquine + Zinc Sulphate + Z-Pak(Azithromycin - antibiotic for secondary infection)

We live in hope. Could be all over by crimbo!!!!

But I expect wave 2 the a la spanish flu.

I can vouch for that, Chinese eating is a disgusting sight for the eyes, they shove anything and everything in their gob, with the bits they don't want spat out onto the table. They are completely oblivious to anyone around them, and treat staff like slaves, waving and pointing their instructions"

Spot on Mike.

Wonder when they'll get working on those 6 billion locusts???

Might have to beat the army of ducks to them,but I suspect they'll give the former a run for their money!

Some things don't make the headlines, like the academic report which estimate hat even the worst posssible effects of the virus will be just noise (that is, within the normal error measurement) in the annual death statistics.

Neither is the number of deaths of those on deaths door published in the covid death stats. The deaths are purely alamist and not put into context, like publishing alongside those who die today not fron covid, or those who die in car crashes or from cancer. Seeing '300 COVID DEATHS TODAY!!!!' is alarmist when it's not written that 299 of them would have unfortunately died anyway in the next month or so. It solicits an illogical emotional reaction in most, and that is the methods of unsavoury characters like Blair (why Boris too is effin disappointing)

There are more than 500,000 deaths in england and wales pa, that's 1500 per day - that's more per day than the total uk covid deaths so far. And most of the covid deaths would have been included in the daily deaths soon covid or no covid.

My view is those not in a high risk group could have carried on perfectly as normal, working, clubbing, shagging, and the effects of those not at high risk would have been like quite a severe flu epidemic (i.e. more than normal off sick due to the flu - and this just this year while the virus is new and there's no herd immunity this year). But, everything would be pretty much as normal (except for the vulnerable who probably would isolate themselves).
