Re 10.52 - no, not much sense. Have fun and GN.

Bobbust - 13.21 v. good post.

Dooh - that got sent while I was redrafting. Just to say I'm not 'twisting' your words, merely trying to understand them. Anyway - have a nice weekend and TCOY.

Just one post to you, then back to the Filter. Sorry to you and the BB but I just cannot, NOT reply to some of this . . .

14.36 - you describe an interesting technique - "Whilst still keeping to not watching news stations and tabloid press" because "Preferring to hear what is being done" - how does that work then ? And if you think 'agendas' are confined to the tabloids you are mistaken, I read the DT daily and find that pointedly OTT on occasions.

14.36 again - "repetitious habit of proportioning blame" - this really threw me. No one least of all me is 'proportioning' blame - there is no task of that nature to be done - blame can't in any way in these events be 'proportioned'. Easier to think of responsibility and that is squarely on the shoulders of Johnson's Govt. End of.

That's interesting Dalester and would fit, in explaining the uncommonly mild impact of CV-19 in some of the hottest climates in the World. Excess heat on surfaces, intense UV and sunshine generating Vitamin D in the body, seems to have had a real effect in Thailand, Vietnam etc. and dare I say, maybe the hottest parts of Africa (e.g . Nigeria - but too early to be sure).

I've noted before but in case you missed it - Thailand was having 45 flights a week from Wuhan when this started (tourism) but in 3 months since, total deaths are just 55 and only 180 infected remaining in Hospital atm. How we would all wish the UK had that situation !

Coming back to your post, does that mean that candidates for Covidity treatment can be dosed with 'D' prior to receiving Prof. Lindy's amazing vaccine ? Hopefully. Thanks.

Thanks for all that - you're working hard today ! Wait on (for news) as they say.

Spotted these links of passing interest :-
"BioNTech (Nasdaq: BNTX, “BioNTech” or “the Company”) announced today the closing of the Neon Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTGN, “Neon”) acquisition through an all-stock transaction." https://investors.biontech.de/news-releases/news-release-details/biontech-completes-acquisition-neon-therapeutics

"Pfizer plans to draw on sites in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and Andover, Massachusetts, as well as St. Louis for the early stages of its mRNA vaccine ramp-up.

A video interview in this one - "Pfizer's chief scientific officer tells Reuters his company got a head start on vaccine development for the coronavirus because it had already been working for two years on the flu with its German partner, BioNTech.

Just one today, out of trading hours. Distressing to see this report on Sweden - "We are starting to near 3,000 deceased, a horrifyingly large number," noted the chief epidemiologist at Sweden's public health agency, Anders Tegnell", (who has been leading the country's COVID-19 response). https://www.newsweek.com/sweden-coronavirus-deaths-children-lockdown-1502548?piano_t=1 The comparison with the rest of Scandinavia is shocking.

Toatl deaths in Asia now 10,000 and Africa 2,000 - (e & o e with the figures !).
Come on Boris - sort it out. ATB and BFN

If I remember, I think you mentioned joining the SNP yesterday. Reports down here of some turmoil in those ranks after recent drama, but I'm sure that's not due to your arrival . . . I noticed Ian Blackford, who makes my hair stand on end when he's in the HoC, has adopted a statesmanlike position in recent weeks re CV-19 etc. Is he after the Crown of Sturgeon ?

Well done Ray - I'll have a look see. Glad you had a go as you seem to have a good grip on the Science.

LLass - CV-19 is a gruesome pack - even now, BJ doesn't seem his nomal self by any means - good on him but he should rest up IMO.

Good spot CC. And Scancell grabbed the headline ! Whilst the article mentions Scancell first among the 'top picks', there were no details of what Scancell are up to. A 'ProActive' writer. More please. Thanks.

Krafty I suspect the 'F' RNS is 'way to go'. Never mind - most importantly - can Prof. Lindy deliver as usual ? GLA

LL. some of the Brits on the 'Forum' were much moved. One posted some great photos of the Churchill Memorial, with florals from Denmark, in 2010. Dutch celebrate the next day apparently. Moving on then. Come on Scancell !

Good post LLass. Elsewhere, I posted this : "At a Danish Friends house for a quiet beer last night, (Mon), he pointed to 7 candles on a piece of wood and asked if I knew why they were there ? When it got dark he lit the candles and explained, it's a Danish custom on May 4th each year - the Day that Montgomery's troops came into Copenhagen. Apparently his Mum, 83 lit 75 candles at her house that night. As a Brit, I was very touched that Denmark remembers the Allied forces that battled away against Hitler. Noticed this in the DM . . . https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8286121/British-tanks-storming-Denmark-days-WWII-Europe-reported-1945.html

Ruck - ''A better more meaningful measure would be “number of days supply”. '' Good thinking.

That's a LONG list WTP !

Like everyone else, I was delighted to see CH's interview yesterday. Until then, my view was clear but there's no need to keep arguing/mocking. More importantly, let's hope we can get some more PR out there in the hope of catching that moment with that someone who can make a difference. I had hoped to be wrong and that the idea about the funding being sorted at the CV-19 RNS time, would be right. I suppose CH's triumph yesterday, might suggest that we SCLP are still making our way on funding. So all power to CH elbow ! GLA

I've noticed sometimes that my keystroke for a 'rec' can sometimes generate 2 even 3 recs ?
Anyone else got this problem ?

""if the CRUK SCIb2 trial has concluded that Nano is "better" "
Whats that 'if' mean M8 ? Has that actually been determined by CRUK as yet ? Tks

Bermuda this was nicely put the other day elsewhere . . as you've seen no doubt :-
"Well, there are quite a few off-piste comments on these boards, so don't fret about it too much. However, most of the posts are about SCLP or Covid-19, which is related, or politicians' responses to Covid 19, which are more indirectly related." (Goy)

Berm - I'm trying to desist and now I'm off. Nice blue day to you.

. . . one more - any idea about delivery mode of SCIB/CV-19. Nanovesicle ? (Sorry if I missed an earlier post)
Polite replies only please. ATB

'Moan' - that's just another chirp put down. How about, 'constructive criticism and helpful analysis'.
Look at yourself first M8 LOL. And put a mask on ! Things to do atb.
