" In November 2021, Campbell said in a video that ivermectin might have been responsible for a sudden decline in COVID-19 cases in Japan. However, the drug had never been officially authorised for such use in the country; its use was merely promoted by the chair of a non-governmental medical association in Tokyo, and it has no established benefit as a COVID-19 treatment.[3]Meaghan Kall, the lead epidemiologist for COVID-19 at the UK Health Security Agency, said that Campbell was confusing causation and correlation. Further, Kall said that there was no evidence of ivermectin being used in large numbers in Japan; rather, she said it “appears this was based on anecdata on social media driving wildly damaging misinformation”.[3]
Was on a shoot during the week and half the crew have tested positive.
We tested every morning, but the day after the last shoot day one of the crew tested positive followed by the rest.
I had a ping (obviously) but have so far had 4 negative lateral flows and a negative PCR. Phew.
Hopefully you’ll be better asap. I started to get a bit of a raw throat on Sunday (2 days after everyone else on the shoot got positive tests), waited it out until yesterday to get a PCR and the result just came back negative.
Edit: Also had a negative lateral flow last night, so it’s probably just pure coincidence.
The government are going to be hell bent on not drawing attention to that after they canned all restrictions, probably a co-operative media blackout from a lot of papers
I think restrictions don’t stop coronavirus - just delay it. So before there were vaccines it was useful to slow down the transmission until vaccines came on the scene. Now I think we get everyone vaccinated as many times as it takes, and let the world open up
Went for a PCR the other day because I felt like shit, all the symptoms but lateral flows negative. That came back positive so now I’m off work in the run up to the busiest few days of the year. I’m secretly a bit chuffed about that because I always dread Mother’s Day at work and now it’ll likely be someone else’s problem. Not a commendable attitude I recognise, but if I’m stuck in the house I might as well take all the positives (heh) I can.
I’d be sacking that off if I were you @nedertron; if the last couple of years has taught us anything it should be that being in the workplace with an illness, regardless of if it’s Covid or not, isn’t socially responsible of us. I doubt it will be, but I’d hoped it would be the death of people sat at their desks snotting the place up all day.
Yer I have a few bits to do today just pulling some figures out for a board meeting. Then I’m going back to bed.
Has everyone done the working from home tax code thing if you worked from home this last tax year? It saves like £300 something, I know it’s not much but it all helps.
