Dont think it means others are less susceptible. Just hospitalization numbers. Although it has its major criticisms too as any study does. But does highlight how complex it must be in terms of that "one vaccine"

Much prefer the cure over prevention route as faster

[smartie6] 29/3/2020 13:02

SR, heard the same.
DNA, blood type limited? Mmmmmmm, sounds orchestrated.

[sentimentrules] 29/3/2020 13:01

True - but cant be done via genocide. Maybe it isd the planet fighting back for some air lol

........................

A study in china suggests Type A blood group had a much higher hospitalization number than others


This alone shows the struggles ahead for a global one fits all vaccine

Was one of these trees called trump?

I watched a documentary a few years ago about the Jungle and it showed how if any species got too popular that the other species ganged together (Including plants and trees) to stem that species!

Well would you agree that the World is over populated and needs a correction?

[sentimentrules] 29/3/2020 12:57

Smartie - the only real solution for this is cure - and to be able to repurpose it per mutation

[smartie6] 29/3/2020 12:55

That’s why they are going to struggle with a vaccine as once they start testing they have no clue on how it will effect the immune system especially on other variants. Would I like to be a guinea pig, no way. Although there’s a lot of gerbils on here that wouldn’t mind being a guinea pig instead. Lol.

Metro to stop dug biscuits for free.

[sentimentrules] 29/3/2020 12:53

Also have the issue of mutation. Immunity today may well be a future death sentence too. Just depends really doesnt it

[smartie6] 29/3/2020 12:51

It is. Anything for the market.
1m deaths or a million £1s. Tough call for the greedy.

[sentimentrules] 29/3/2020 12:51

Isolation will save many - and i think unfair to say "maybe self isolate 5 years while we crack on"

Got to set a principle here

[sentimentrules] 29/3/2020 12:49

Its like you want to sacrifice 1/5 of the populations freedom (not including underlying health numbers), just to make markets bounce

loooooooool

[turvart] 29/3/2020 12:49

What i'm trying to put over SR is the fact "You can run but you can't hide" this virus will either kill you or it won't IMO.

[smartie6] 29/3/2020 12:47

Interesting one. And do you know I’m wondering the same thing, is it at all possible to beat this thing? The lockdown is purely to stem the rise to give much needed time to increase equipment and resources as everyone’s so far behind the ball they can no longer see it. The only answer is a vaccine as you cannot control a global epidemic.

[sentimentrules] 29/3/2020 12:47

What message would that be to the country turvart?

"once you have done your work, you mean nothing to us in retirement

what if the next virus only attacks the young? same principle?

[turvart] 29/3/2020 12:41

Smartie6,

I wouldn't knock Trump personally I think he his doing the right thing, I personally don't think lock downs help this virus, I think Italy is a prime example of that, why lock down, why self isolate? IMO it's like trying to catch the bottom, people have self isolated in the company I work 2 weeks ago on SSP, where does that put them now? stay at home or come back to work at the peak? and where is the peak?

I know this sounds madness but I think Nations should return to normality and let this virus take it's course, because IMO it will any how!

[smartie6] 29/3/2020 12:39

Did anyone watch Michael G this morning? The guy can’t answer a straightforward question.
At least RLB, who I don’t like in the slightest, can be open and honest, even advised that they’ll need stimulus like no other after it’s over. That said she wouldn’t expand on how repayment would be made. I can probably guess though, tax, tax, tax, and oh yes, tax.

[bargainbob] 29/3/2020 12:36

It is like world war 11 Smartie , Britain only repaid the debt to USA and Canada within last decade.

[smartie6] 29/3/2020 12:36

He’s probably on the phone to all his friends and family now. Giving them the notice to be prepared for his next move. Don’t tell everyone but I’ll make my next gaff on Wednesday, get in touch with your broker now.

[sentimentrules] 29/3/2020 12:32

He knows his next moves will crash it Smartie - but that is actually a long term good thing - as long as the lads get the timeframe to escape - thats ok lol

........................

No surprise Bob. Could be a good few months?

[bargainbob] 29/3/2020 12:30

Wee Beastie delayed SR , entry level5 year Ardbeg on hold

[smartie6] 29/3/2020 12:29

As for Trump. Crikey do I need to say anything. Lol.

Other than he’s going to bring the stock market crashing when he eventually backtracks.
