Coronavirus

[JuanPabloAngel]

Boris Johnson’s plans to test millions of schoolchildren for coronavirus every week appear to be in disarray after the UK regulator refused to formally approve the daily testing of pupils in England, the Guardian has learned.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) told the government on Tuesday it had not authorised the daily use of 30-minute tests due to concerns that they give people false reassurance if they test negative.

One of the Ministers here has said that the majority of people won't get the vaccine until Q3 or later. I really hope he's under promising so that he can over deliver.

Shock horror the Brazilian variant and there is a RISK that us might impact the antibodies see the virus - in layman’s terms, they get reinfected.

Of course, I imagine the govt will know or soon know, keep it quiet and hope it goes away.

This is what happens when you take a reactive approach. Total shambles.

Maybe they are finally going to tell us that we are all going to die.

Well for the first time (at least in Johnsons case) he would be right

So we wait for the variant to get here - and then stop flights.

Utter genius!

I don't think it will be this summer mate. You'd better check the expiry date
