With greetings to all those ********** protesting against the Covid-19 measures in London (and possibly elsewhere). But then again they will probably claim he's a paid actor and it's all a plot by the evil deep state or something.
Chris thought coronavirus was 'bullsh*t'... this is his powerful message from his intensive care bed

One of the claims made by the #governments of the world to justify imposing the regulations and programmes of a #biosecurity state on their populations is that they are ‘following the science’. By the same token, those who uncritically support these measures — in both #mainstream and social media — claim that anyone who criticises or opposes them are ‘anti-science’.
As #Professor #Levitt states: it is not governments that are following the science; rather, it is #politics that has ‘infected’ the scientists. By making the statements of eminent scientists with the courage to speak out against Government and #media lies more widely known, it is our hope that the debate the people of #Britain should be having will be opened to the knowledge we should be applying to this crisis, which goes far beyond a virus with the fatality rate of a severe #flu, and which threatens the existence of our human rights, civil liberties and democratic politics.
People are insisting on refereed reports. No-one wants to share anything. The #scientists are more panicked and scared of reality than anybody else.
This has got nothing to do with the politics. As a group, scientists have failed the younger generation.
‘Deciding what to do in this situation is really, really difficult. We cannot rely on one or two voices. There should have been a committee formed, either by the Nobel Foundation, by Lindau, by The Royal Society, The National Academy, in the middle of February when this was coming down the road, and we should have discussed this.
‘Instead, we let #economics and #politics dedicate the science.
There was total #panic. And the fact is that almost all the science we were hearing — for example, from organisations like the World Health Organisation — was wrong.
We had Facebook censoring [views contrary to] the World Health Organisation.
Nobody said to me: “Let me check your numbers”. They all just said: “Stop talking like that”.
.. but the fact is that viral cases and deaths follow a time trajectory, and I think that physicist and theoretical chemists who understand trajectories are way better qualified.
‘I am not against #lockdown. I’m against stupid lockdown without considering the full picture. That is, not just combating a
virus that is exactly as dangerous as flu, but also avoiding the economic damage that every country has caused itself, except #Sweden
In other words, everything is data-driven, but people have chosen not to look at the data. In many places, the politics has infected the scientists. Certainly in the USA the politics has infected the scientists.’
‘I think the problem is not just science and public. It’s science to other scientists. Nobody ever said: “You’re saying this: can I check your numbers” This is something which any intelligent person could do themselves in a few days. Every science needs problems to be worked over.
The one place that did have some intelligent #conversation — but I only got involved in it very late — was the European Molecular Biology Lab.
The #criticism is wonderful, because [with]good science, you have to be able to stand up to criticism. Scientists expect to be torn apart. We circled the wagons against this, and it really, really hurt us.’
‘I’m not saying that corona is like flu. But It has exactly the same excess death and age-ranges as flu, and flu is a very serious disease, so I’m not undermining [the existence of] #COVID.
Scientists are arrogant, and refuse to listen to people not in their fields. Scientists are getting away Scott-free for causing billions of dollars’ worth of damage, and this is something which cannot be allowed to happen.
‘It’s not just the World Health Organisation. #Ferguson wanted Sweden to lock down, and got Britain to lock down. And when the numbers become normal, exactly what you would expect without lockdown, he then says: “Ah, it’s because of lockdown”. This is terrible science. This is science which should go on trial. Scientists cannot cause damage like this and refuse to listen.
‘The fact is that #epidemiology and modelling has been a disgrace. They have not looked at the #data. They have been wrong at every turn. We’re going to see that, although coronavirus is a different disease, the net #impact of death is going to be very similar to severe flu. And it’s going to be that way without lockdown.
The warning comes as people in England who refuse an order to self-isolate could be fined up to £10,000.www.bbc.co.uk

Are you wearing your mask?
I used myself as a model for this animation and I make sure that I wear a face mask when I go shopping. I'm very pleased to say that people in the Sevenoaks (UK) area where I live are being extremely considerate and are all wearing masks when in close contact with each other. Must admit that I still avoid restaurants and pubs

Eine Studie zu einem Coronavirus-Ausbruch in einem Sommercamp untermauert der US-Gesundheitsbehörde CDC zufolge die Erkenntnis, dass sich Kinder jeden Alters mit dem Erreger infizieren können.
Eine Studie zu einem Coronavirus-Ausbruch in einem Sommercamp untermauert der US-Gesundheitsbehörde CDC zufolge die Erkenntnis, dass sich Kinder jeden Alters mit dem Erreger infizieren können. Entgegen ursprünglicher Annahmen könnten Kinder und Jugendliche auch eine "wichtige Rolle" bei der Übertragung von Sars-CoV-2 spielen. Die Studie dürfte in den USA auch die Debatte zur Wiedereröffnung von Schulen nach den Sommerferien erneut anheizen. Sie befasst sich mit einem Coronavirus-Ausbruch, der sich Ende Juni innerhalb von etwa zehn Tagen in einem Feriencamp für Kinder und Jugendliche im südlichen Bundesstaat Georgia zugetragen hatte. Von den dort anwesenden Personen wurden 344 getestet. Von ihnen hatten sich 260 mit dem Coronavirus infiziert. Darunter waren 51 Kinder im Alter bis zehn Jahren, 180 Jugendliche und 29 volljährige Personen. Die rund 250 Angestellten und Freiwilligen in dem Camp mussten Masken tragen, die etwa 350 Gäste im Alter von 6 bis 18 Jahren mussten keinen Mund-Nasen-Schutz tragen. Während ihres mehrtägigen Aufenthalts gab es zahlreiche Aktivitäten im Freien und in geschlossenen Räumen, darunter "kräftiges Singen und Jubeln", so die CDC-Studie. Zwei Tage nach der Ankunft der Gäste sei ein Teenager am 23. Juni mit Erkältungserscheinungen nach Hause geschickt worden. Nachdem die Person positiv getestet worden war, schlossen die Verantwortlichen das Camp am 27. Juni. Von den 136 Personen, für die es Informationen zu Symptomen gab, gaben 36 an, keine Beschwerden gehabt zu haben. Die übrigen berichteten von Fieber, Kopfschmerzen und Halsweh.www.deutschlandfunk.de
It’s as if an oceanside town stalked by a frenzy of ravenous sharks urged people to return to the beach by saying, We care about your health and safety, so we’ve reinforced the boardwalk with concrete. Lovely. Now people can sturdily walk into the ocean and be separated from their limbsThat's what I have been saying all the time. In end with all those crazy désinfection you just increase the chance of super germs or other resistance against antibiotics. The virus is airborne and so masks and distance are important
People are power scrubbing their way to a false sense of security.www.theatlantic.com
Great job at demonstrating how masks protect us from droplets.

Evolutionary Origins of SARS-CoV-2 Identified
The researchers found that the lineage of viruses to which SARS-CoV-2 belongs diverged from other bat viruses about 40-70 years ago. Importantly, although SARS-CoV-2 is genetically similar (about 96%) to the RaTG13 coronavirus, which was sampled from a Rhinolophus affinis horseshoe bat in 2013 in Yunnan province, China, the team found that it diverged from RaTG13 a relatively long time ago, in 1969.
#science #evolution #COVID19Evolutionary Origins of SARS-CoV-2 Identified
By reconstructing the evolutionary history of SARS-CoV-2, researchers have discovered that the lineage that gave rise to the virus has been circulating in bats for decades and likely includes other viruses with the ability to infect humans. The findings, have implications for the prevention of future pandemics stemming from this lineage.www.technologynetworks.com
