14 December - The cretin has spoken

Cretin False positivesI don’t remember much about ‘O’ Level Biology but I vaguely remember learning that viruses mutate. In recent years I have picked up a dose of the flu far too often even after being vaccinated against it.

The medics say that the cheap NHS vaccine doesn’t cover every strain of influenza and NHS England takes a guess as to which strains that have been travelling around the globe might reach the UK; and very often they get it wrong. The damned thing has mutated!

Mengele Hancock is now trying to scare everyone with news of a new strain of Covid 19. What did he expect? Presumably he was a failure at ‘O’ Level Biology just as he has failed at every other task he has been set.

His constant failure has led to the country being economically wrecked and tens of thousands of people dying from untreated cancer and the like. Based on flawed Covid testing he has decided to put another couple of hundred thousand people out of a job by moving London and surrounding areas from Tier 2 to Tier 3 restrictions. As far as I can see it will have no direct effect on me whatsoever.

Tier 2 caused the Carol Service I’ve attended for the past 33 years to be cancelled but apart from that I have been doing whatever I like and think is sensible. It just so happens that all of it falls within Tier 2 and even Tier 3 rules. I suspect an awful lot of people are also trying to be sensible. Most of my elderly friends have cancelled family gatherings at Christmas.

The only difference I have noted between Tiers 2 and 3 is that I cannot go to the pub or eat in a restaurant or attend sporting events. However I can go to a crowded shopping centre or have my hair cut. Where is the evidence that Covid secure pubs are driving higher positive test figures? Answer. There isn’t any.

For those who try to follow the arithmetic contained in the right hand panel, please note that Bexley is currently said to have fewer than three positive tests per 1,000 population. Under 0·3% prevalence. Oh forget that! The figure already includes the false positives.
