Please post if you see any of this Ferguson or Riley stuff covered by the press. Or the likes of Woolhouse yesterday that I havent had the chance to report on properly yet but did watch on the livestream at the time.

...fucking Great Barrington Declaration. Even Heneghan didnt sign it and was made to explain why, lol. On a related note, they made use of Woolhouse, because although Woolhouse was not exactly a massive fan of lockdowns, he does at least have a clue what he is talking about (eg knew there was...

Pages 28 & 29 mention an email from Woolhouse on January 25th 2020 to chief medical officers:

...only one complaining about his shit: =1&c[nodes][0]=120&o=relevance"]Search results for query: heneghan He is up last next week. Mark Woolhouse is up first. He has already been quoted a number of times in the first few weeks of this module, and when it comes to him I'd say he is more of a...

...hospital infection controls, missed opportunities to learn from SARS, and someones warning from 2013 about novel disease pandemics. Mark Woolhouse is coming up this afternoon. He was someone who I was very rude about in 2020 due to certain things he said and did. But he said far more...

Continuing that, we see the asymptomatic excuse being used, as well as another notorious spectacle from Johnson: Pages 127-128: They then give some examples of people who died as a result of failure to cancel mass sports events and some other activities. I havent had time to quote much...

BBC articles about where we are at are a lot better when not written by Nick Triggle. And they seem to have been using him less for this sort of thing recently. Its still a bit surreal seeing Woolhouse quotes that are sensible and cautious. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59179219

Would like to read the book, but from his Wiki doesn't seem like the best person to give advice... "In April 2020 Woolhouse was criticised after it emerged he had travelled to a second home on the Island of Lismore hours before lockdown ruled were announced. Despite public health advice for...

Also Woolhouse is the cunt from this story in April: https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-coronavirus-advisor-ignores-sturgeons-18081482

Yup ^ someone at PHE told me the same. Winter is slowly arriving and inaction is not a viable option. Are they hoping for a spike in revenue across business sectors? Seems to have been the main aim. But it will no doubt cause more long term costs, increase avoidable deaths and drag this whole...

...articles because they contain useful information, like the following one that just popped up, rather than post them so I can rant about the contents and the misframing. Even manages to include thoughts from Mark Woolhouse that dont wind me up for once. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56529712

...and become a winter disease' has been bollocks so far, and of the resulting weaknesses in the comparison to flu. I'm still adjusting to Woolhouse being a voice of reason, although that isnt a brand new phenomenon. There is a return to mentioning stuff about a small percentage of a very big...

That first statement is not true, and the rest of the article is just speculative and quite possibly bollocks.

...catching the coronavirus from a pupil anywhere in the world, according to one of the government’s leading scientific advisers. Mark Woolhouse, a leading epidemiologist and member of the government’s Sage committee, told The Times that it may have been a mistake to close schools in March...

I don't doubt that. I was merely correcting nagapies assertion that children are unaffected as it is not true.

Pages 96-97 , mid way through a discussion about mass gatherings: Then there was a discussion about how laggy the data was, how they realised they were looking at an out of date picture, even more out of date than hoped. And that once they started testing a wider group of people they were...

Since Woolhouse often got on my nerves much earlier in the pandemic for saying things I considered to be unwise that didnt reflect the magnitude of the situation, it is worth noting when even he has concerns about the future. The extent to which emphasis on vaccination to improve the situation...

And from the BBC:

Meanwhile: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/31/health/coronavirus-children-camp.html Children certainly haven't been ruled out as spreaders. And as for the first sentence I'd imagine a very tiny percentage of cases have a confirmed vector anyway.

that's a bit chicken and egg though, isn't it? if most schools are closed as a precaution, there will be very few cases of pupil to teacher transmission. and it's not just pupil to teacher which is significant, of course, it's also pupil to pupil and then in to other, more vulnerable, family...
