For someone who seems so focussed upon numbers and statistics, the idea that a dozen or two cases in... was it 9000 cases of the virus in total (SARS), is like "winning the lottery" (where odds of winning the jackpot I assume, are usually in the tens or hundreds of millions to 1), is only slightly less amusing statistical voodoo than seeing you critique a lack of statistics followed by misuse of figures when you have them in subsequent posts (though you do eventually realise). Does highlight a very soft version of the risk with people grabbing and (mis)using data though.mr.WHO wrote: ↑Tue, 13. Jul 21, 12:43
The Long SARS was well studies and it wasn't out of ordinaty to have symptoms up to 3-6 months (including temporary changes in lungs). Only Most sever cases were above 12 months and having pernament dammage is like winning a lotery (I think there was only a dozen or two dozen cases out of all SARS cases).
Anyhow, apparently the UK has a new trial - so that instead of isolating after being notified you've been in contact with someone who's got Covid, you can instead submit daily tests in order to continue working (out of work, you must self isolate still). The headline article is undoubtedly going to be read by many who don't then read the article and just see "they won't self isolate". Wonder what'll happen with that!

Oh look, a u-turn on that one. I didn't even get to click post before it happened.

Perhaps someone somewhere pointed out the "Do as I say, not as I do" is not the way to go for leadership...
