I agree with your point that the number of tests undertaken is not as important as what the purpose of the testing is. For example, how are we progressing against the Five Pillars in our national...

That is my understanding

Two tests reduces the risk of a false negative:

Professor Keith Neal, an epidemiologist at the University of Nottingham, told MailOnline: 'We know that tests don't always work'.
He added that...

First time I have worn this one in lockdown! Not a great photo either

Very, very impressive. A confident and articulate young lady.

The ban blocked entry to the USA from anyone who had been in China in the last 14 days - not a particular nationality or a Chinese person. It did not apply to US residents and family members for...

You are right, he restricted entry into the USA from China on 31 January due to it being the epicentre of the virus and then banned travellers from Europe when it became the epicentre in early March....

I agree with the view that borders should have been closed earlier. But one of (if not) the first world leaders to close their borders was Donald Trump in early March and he was attacked by China,...

Care Homes perhaps but the NHS certainly knew about it. Exercise Cygnus was a simulation exercise carried out by NHS England and the results reported to the NHS England Board (and PHE etc.).

Sir...

You and I may disagree about the methodology but it is nonsense to accuse him of lying. According to PHE, the methodology of how tests are counted has not changed:

Professor John Newton of PHE...

My understanding was that the 100,000 figure was a target not a promise. How can anyone promise something like that? It looked to me that he set the target to put a rocket under PHE and the...

The WHO was telling the world up until late February that this was not a global issue just a Chinese internal problem and many governments including the UK government appear to have placed some...

The problem is that the public and the press would never have tolerated a situation where our Government spent tens of billions of pounds to prepare for something that may or may not ever...

Just for balance, some of the best Chief Executives and Finance Directors that I have ever worked with, worked within the NHS. I wouldn't do their job for any amount of money!

Why did the WHO state in January 2020 that Covid-19 was not capable of human to human transmission?

Why, when first Italy and then the USA banned flights in February, did the Director-General of...

[QUOTE=mondie;5415714] expert advice from the WHO and CDC/QUOTE]

Expert advice from the WHO and CDC - really!!?
...

No, what he means is that this is our first Pandemic so the NHS will be ready for the next one!

South Korea, Taiwan etc. are so far ahead of us because they went through the same thing with SARs a few years back. In this interview, one of South Korea's top experts implies that you can't really...

I think that it is a little unfair to criticise the Government or the PHE for the problems with PPE.

Public Health England (PHE) is not and never has been responsible for the procurement of goods...

Thanks. The 6115 Ultra Thin as it belongs to my son!

I was a small time collector of (mainly vintage) Vacheron Constantin watches from the 40's, 50's and 60's and I have only recently sold all but one of them. I do miss them a lot! Photographs are...

Forgive the smudges on the dial!

Only one of the incidents (number 5 in the list) is related to Cave Brown and I qualify this case. All the others are based on first hand evidence from Turing's friends and colleagues, as well as...

Andrew Hodges, the author of Alan Turing: The Enigma - the book that the film The Imitation Game was based on, provides a significant amount of detail on Turing’s life gleaned from a review of...

I am just back from holidays and have urgent matters relating to my own business to attend to. It will take me a week or so to set out the evidence to allow you and others to make a reasoned...
