horatiotheturd Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Did the governemnt really just use the emergency notification system to tell people to "stay at home this weekend" Seems a bit excessive since they are also allowing takeaway food etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have more influence now that I tweet my expertise then I ever had when I was on "the inside" after volunteering my expertise. 2 hours ago, jaymann said: Still no genome sequencing response from the UK, 2 weeks later. If they fancied sending everything from the NYE cases to date down to my lab I'd sequence them all in 24hrs and in 36 hours they'd have the transmission chains of all cases since then mapped, linked, characterised and a report sent back for Henrietta and the contact tracing team to match up with their tracing data.

For example, Planning Inspectors decisions have been overturned by the Minister or indeed their depity. Considering at several points in the briefing they said they would consult clinicians on deciding whether to extend the lockdown. Its just advice. They don't have to take it.

The Chief Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 i don't know if its my mood but i get the feeling that we won't find out anything concrete from comin on Monday, it will be all what if's, if this happens, if we get this, type of none event where Howie uses all those terms before telling us absolutely nothing we didn't already know. I hope not, i really do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tweeted that offer? Can you feed your results into the UK's data collection (for what that would be worth, other than destroying a reason not to take up your offer)?

Had to use a laughing face, because the situation is just utterly ridiculous, it really is laughable. Truth is Dr Ewart and Mr Ashford don’t care, it would probably cause them too much paperwork.

The Voice of Reason Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 This thread is just one big government hate fest! Like we’ve had it so bad compared with other jurisdictions over the last COVID-19 year. ( Nothing to do with the way the Government has acted and handled the situation of course. Just luck I guess) 3 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with this. Send them an email and a letter to DAs home address and then it can really be complained about when they do nothing. Easier to ignore a tweet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
