Not tests but vaccinations.

It's not a vaccination programme. It's a trial programme. Test programmes include vaccinations. So we both phrased it wrong.

No problem, it was my incorrect phrasing at fault.

This could be a significant advancement in the battle against covid...!

https://www.clinicaltrialsarena.com/news/sanotize-nasal-spray-reduces-covid-19-viral-load-uk-clinical-trail/

*********
A self-administered nitric oxide nasal spray (NONS) made by Vancouver-based biotech firm SaNOtize has been found to dramatically reduce Covid-19 viral load in infected patients after completing early-stage clinical trials in Canada and, most recently, the UK.

SaNOtize, alongside Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Berkshire and Surrey Pathology Services in the UK, have announced results of Phase II trials indicating that SaNOtize’s nasal spray represents a safe and powerful antiviral treatment that could prevent the transmission of Covid-19, shorten its duration, and reduce the severity of symptoms in those already infected.

Seen on twitter about the corrupt lying incompetent racist thug PM

'No time to attend COBRA meetings, no time to meet the COVID bereaved, but convening an emergency meeting to discuss the European Super League is no problem. Especially when it’s such an effective distraction from Tory corruption.'

Yep.

The problem isn't that Boris Johnson is an unethical, corrupt, lying devious dirtbag.

Everyone knows that.

The problem is that his supporters don't care.

Quite incredibly after all of the sitters on corruption that Labour could have gone big on, Starmer went on this Dyson story which is an easy defence for the UK govt. This then undermines all the other issues. Atrocious decision from Labour.

I rather think the public have gone past caring what Boris does although the huge problem with the deal with Dyson is if Johnson was favouring Dyson ahead of companies that were ready to go with tried and tested design.

If he gets away with this. It is because the voters have given him carte blanche or a free pass because their little heads ache to figure out what is going on or because they are made moist by the cockwomble's evil antics.

Stop letting Labour and Starmer off the hook. And youtlr witless snobbery mirrors that of the entitled Etonian eejits.

Yes - very scary. My partner's cousin is a Paediatric consultant in Goa, spoke to her a couple of days ago. Not sounding at all good.

I am fine NS. Thanks for asking!

Yes....the situation is terrible in India especially in some states. The authorities did not have a sense of urgency and were complacent till last week. Luckily the death rate is fairly low compared to the number of cases...though in absolute numbers it is high.

Vaccinations are at 10%... Given the numbers (only 1390 million people)...will take several months to get to a reasonable number.

Hoping for the best.

Thanks once again!
