Interesting only insofar as it makes me think American clinicians are controlled by the insurance companies such that they can’t, for example, “try” anti-coagulants because it’s not (yet) a recommended medication for this new disease, even if their expertise tells them it might be. Dexamethasone (an off-patent anti-inflammatory, giving the lie to the tale that existing, cheap drugs were shunned in favour of expensive new ones, or that re-purposing is resisted) was found to be beneficial for Covid patients by the NHS. Maybe our system encourages such innovation. |

Insurance wasn't the subject under discussion in that video, so did you miss the point being made in the video? Are you more informed about this than either of those two? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

They were making the point that doctors and front line medical staff were pressured from the top - by organisations like the WHO and CDC - to follow their directions, and not use their own experience and knowledge to deal with what they were dealing with. They were making the point that discussion was discouraged among such professionals. They were making the point that such an approach is foolish and dangerous, and actually not the way science should be approached. I agree with that assessment. I presume you don't. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Dexamethasone is a steroid now used to treat the lung inflammation. It’s discovery and use in the UK wasn’t prevented by WHO or CDC. I’ve proposed another reason why the doctor was hampered.

Done that. Still ties in with my suggestion. |
Ok. Well, I don't think so. I think that politics has gotten in the way of this whole Covid mess to a ridiculous degree, especially at the level of proper discussion among medical professionals. I've heard it from so many now that it's hard to dismiss. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

C'mon Boris, extend the lockdown! As a lazy person, I'm afraid if you don't, jobs might come back!
I kind of hope he does. This time, it's really going to be a case of as everyone says to it. Feck me, even Theresa May is against extending it!
There will never be a time you couldn't argue for lockdown. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Rebellion? Even daytime TV presenters are questioning extending the lockdown

You can still spread it even if vaccinated although the likelihood is much lower.

Who cares? Anyone that's vulnerable has had the option to be vaccinated, and there's only a vanishingly small chance of anyone else having notable problems with the virus. And anyway, who am I supposed to want to protect? A country full of woke and racist bollocks? Feckin' socialists? Half the country hates itself, so let 'em all die, I say ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Once again, it doesn't matter. The vulnerable have been offered protection, and all those that want it have got it. Lockdown and social restrictions aren't doing anything much now to protect anyone. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
