>barely testing anyone. rNHS workers aren't taking the tests. we're near 80k/day in capacity but only 50k taking tests.
doesnt matter yet anyway. no point testing during lockdown. better to save them for track n trace when lockdown ends. we'll be doing 5-10 times the amount of daily testing as s korea at that point.

People should calm down corona virus is a scam its time people question the government to find out the real agenda which is to change society using a lock down to justify the changes like getting rid of small business and increasing mass surveillance and changing financial system
>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 stays latent in the body and can reactivate The Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 is, unlike the DNA viruses HIV and Herpes, an RNA Virus. There are no scientifically known mechanisms by which RNA viruses become latent. Whilst it is true that the virus (like SARS) can persist for many weeks in patients, the body should ultimately clear the virus. Cases of ‘reactivation’ are most likely false negatives and mark the temporary failure of the immune system to clear small pockets of the virus after the main infection: archive.is/GuIBI (1/2) medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.27.20043299v1 (2/2)
>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 infects and hides in the central nervous system Whilst in very rare cases COVID-19 may infect the brainstem, this phenomenon is seen in other viral infections, including in influenza, and is known as encephalitis: pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/radiol.2020201187
>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 causes permanent lung damage Whilst it is true that lungs can be damaged in some severe courses of infection, this is a common phenomenon in respiratory pathogens and particularly in pneumonia. Non-atypical lung lesions recover in-line with pneumonia recoveries and Ground Glass Opacities often disappear spontaneously: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4630533/ (1/2) pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/radiol.2020200370 (2/2)
>CVG MYTH: It is impossible to create a Coronavirus vaccine Whilst there has never been a Coronavirus vaccine in humans, bovine corona vaccines exist and some success has been achieved in creating a vaccine for MERS. Experiments with vaccines in China already demonstrate that immunity can be conferred on monkeys via vaccine. Previous attempts for SARS and other common Coronaviruses were discontinued due to lack of need or want: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC227016/ (1/2) archive.is/mnO9h (2/2)

The history of the Savile family in Yorkshire is pretty eye opening if you take the time to read into it.
