The anti-vaxxers who stormed the wrong BBC building are just an embarrassment Those who turned up at a location not used by the Beeb since 2013 are confused and dangerous half-witsIt is rarely helpful to insult people with whom you disagree. The moment you start mud-slinging, so the theory goes, the argument has been lost. Far better to try and persuade your opponents with evidence and reason. |

[quote]That's east and south of here now blocked off to us here, westward is our only chance of escape now with the border to the north closed. :-OIf you can't see it, it doesn't exist! What, the closed off to the north border? More than a few miles north, so can't be seen? (Dark humor for dark times.) Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

For some positive news amongst all the COVID stupidity: Scientists reckon eliminating COVID-19 will be easier than polio, harder than smallpox – just buckle in for a wait wrote: ... Vaccination globally eradicated smallpox, the famine-causing cattle disease called rinderpest, and two of the three serotypes of poliovirus. Positively healthy politics needed?... Stay safe folks!

The sooner that these pair of covidiot politicians are banned from social media the better off a lot of us will be. Twitter suspends Marjorie Taylor Greene – again – for 'misleading' COVID-19 tweet. George Christensen’s anti-lockdown rant in parliament. George and Marjorie, your Darwin Awards are now ready to be picked up anytime. I also bet that DeSantis and Abbott are now spewing. Florida, Texas schools defy governors' bans on mask mandates as COVID cases soar. Meanwhile here down under Gladys and her bumbling incompetent crew are now accountable for over 7230 cases and 39 deaths along with another 2 more country regions being put into lockdown as Sydney continues to leak like a sieve. |

Well it's time for another COVID-19 update as the world's case tally passes 204.7 million while deaths now exceed 4,327,000. :-( At the top end of the death list the only change was Indonesia replacing Argentina in 11th spot so let's get into that case list now. Tanzania jumped over St. Barth and Antigua/Barbuda to move into 196th place, Sint Maarten became the 186th member of the 3K+ club while Mauritius took flight over Guinea-Bissau, Chad, Gibraltar and San Marino to land in 177th, the Isle of Man displaced Liberia from 175th as Burundi passed Gambia, but remain in 168th, Benin jumped over Equatorial Guinea and Iceland, but only made it up 1 spot to 164th, because the C.A.R. had a correction thrown in taking them from 169th up to 160th place and Timor-Leste replaced Djibouti in 158th spot. Lesotho displaced Burkina Faso from 153rd spot, the Bahamas jumped over Tajikistan and Taiwan into 146th as French Polynesia jumped over Guyana and Guadeloupe to land in 137th, Martinique took flight over Guadeloupe, Mauritania, Gabon, Suriname, Syria and Guinea to do a refueling stop in 132nd while Eswatini removed French Guiana from 129th, Fiji moved past Sudan to claim 124th with a clear view now of the front door of the 40K+ club and Cambodia replaced Cameroon in 109th spot. Mozambique knocked Albania out of 97th place, Zambia became the 86th member of the 200K+ club, South Korea and Kenya are now fighting over 83rd &84th spots as Vietnam took flight over Bosnia/Herzegovina, them and Qatar to land in 81st, Libya replaced Bahrain in 76th while Ireland nudged Venezuela out of 69th, Guatemala booted Slovakia from 59th and Cuba along with Georgia jumped over both Belarus and Paraguay to take up 51st & 52nd places respectively. Morocco swept the U.A.E. aside to the 41st country to enter the 700K+ clubhouse, Thailand blew Jordan out of 36th while Israel became the 23th member of the 900K+ club as the Philippines booted Czechia from 22nd and India has become the 2nd member of the 32M+ club. Well that's it for now. |

I very nearly lost my soul mate of almost 40 years to this disease, you who are ignorant about it, And that is the only excuse I can offer for you. And you better take it kindly. This disease is no hoax, and it kills. I was talking to Lori when her breath stopped and a 'code red' was issued. The phone dropped to the floor, and I could hear the commotion as they SAVED HER And now our 'presidenete;'. the "unt' would be king, wants full control...................

Incoherent Agreed, I'm bemused by the disconnect between lines 3 and 5. Is line 5 a frustrated scream of a blame game? Hopefully, all has progressed well for that case. Best wishes to all there.

By 'eck! This has been a positively quick move! Wonder what the percents are for that age group across several different countries? Yeah, I know I could look it up, probably a country at a time and, of course, I'm concerned about the USA because that's where I am. But, I'm working on other things and I'm tired.

Now if this is true then I'm totally flabbergasted as we've been doing regular sewage sampling at all of our treatment plants here since the HIV days. :-O Sewage is the latest disease detection tool for Covid-19. It has come in handy a few times here for a variety of disease outbreaks. Even this little country village's water treatment plant sends off regular samples to be tested. |

Wastewater samples are collected regularly across the country and analysed for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Wastewater monitoring is part of monitoring systems to detect new COVID-19 outbreaks and support test and trace approaches. |

Can 1 be flabbergasted twice in 1 morning?Now if this is true then I'm totally flabbergasted as we've been doing regular sewage sampling at all of our treatment plants here since the HIV days. :-OBeen testing the sewage since early 2020 over here. Well sadly the answer would seem to be yes if you didn't have some sort of disease testing of wastewater before then. Australia and New Zealand have been doing regular sewage sampling at our treatment plants for many known infectious diseases since 1997 and the COVID component was added to the program back in early March of 2020 as soon as a test to detect it was produced. |

I don't know all the things they test for here or at what stage, but since we treat sewage the output the the treatment is tested. One would think they test the input to know how well it is working. And Covid testing was started as soon as testing was available. |
