Newborns get a transfer of maternal antibodies via the placenta (and also through breast milk in the form of IgA). This is however only transient immunity because they don’t get the cellular mechanisms such as memory cells to make their own should they get infected. Generally good for about 6 months if memory serves correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 An interesting article from CNN about virus mutations whist patents are actually being treated and also indications for the treatment of Covid patients in hospital. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/05/health/coronavirus-variants-home-grown/index.html The more we know about the treatments and vaccination effects the sooner this pandemic can become manageable. My concerns now are about the ability of Nobles to deal with the numbers in both facilities and staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took the Government to bits. Yep - he really told them.......not! Here's the motion; "That Tynwald is of the opinion that a robust and speedy system of genomic testing is vital in the fight against COVID-19; and that this will remain the case for the foreseeable future". Its what Julie described as a "nothing motion". It doesn't instruct anyone to do anything. Tynwald now is of the opinion that genomics are important - so what. Public Health already did - they've been sending samples off to Liverpool for ages. I don't see Hooper doing anything here than jumping on board the "Free The Rachel 1" crusade. A better motion would be something like Tynwald instructs DHSC to negotiate terms with Dr Glover for the provision of genomics services and bring the draft contract back to Tynwald for public debate at its next sitting. There's nothing more frustrating than parliamentary pussyfooting around. It resolves nothing and only serves the interests of the politicians concerned.................or perhaps that's all they wanted in the first place. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the BS wording is convention and/or political correctness, isn't it?

Odd. Have you tried Screwfix as then tend to have live stock figures. I think you have to use the postcode IM2 to find the local branch as Douglas or Isle of Man don't seem to work.
