            They actually said 'could be linked' and used words such as 'potential' but said that there is not sufficient evidence or large enough tests to be able to decide. They checked in five hospitals, of which two showed what could be interpreted as a higher incidence (but not enough previous data to judge) and the other three showed no sign of it. :noidea:

              What a joke!!!
              Went to a big coffee chain establishment this morning . After paying for our order I asked the assistant what to do in regards to logging our attendance , (track and tracing) as both my friend and I had 'dinosaur' model mobile phones that couldn't be 'swiped' across their readers. She just smiled and reassuringly ( not!!) told us not to worry as they weren't set up properly anyway!!!!:thud:

                    How exiting! Her Majesty wrote us a letter asking if we would perhants consider participating into a randomly chosen household testing programme where we will self- test first weekly and then monthly for a year.

                    Well, if Her Majesty asks politely, who am I to refuse?

                    Seen that this is exactly the data I follow closely, we joined up and are now waiting for a call from a health worker who will interview us and teach us how to take the samples. We can stop at any point of time, and get generous vouchers for the trouble- £50 for the first meeting and £25 each successive sample collections. The Teenager gets nice pocket money and I can justify some more Amazon extravaganza. Chicken wire and varnish, my finger is hovering :heehee:.

                    In case we test positive, they ask if we wouldn't mind giving blood samples to check on antibodies. I almost hope we would (but not really, I do not want that illness please), that's the kind of science that gets me very exited :biggrin:

                    More to report further on from your front line statistical dot. :)

                            This mask wearing in Schools is starting to become an embarrassing farce.
                            ? Mask on in the corridor but off in the classroom. Same group of kids?
                            Where's the logic in that?

                              I think @Jenny namaste it may prove a wise move if some secondary schools can't adopt the 'children stay put ,bring the teacher to the classroom' approach.
                              Normally it's the other way around, obviously for some lessons this wouldn't be feasible ..science labs for instance.

                              Corridors are pretty manic places during lessons changeover times.
