Coronavirus outbreak

[tom73]

A team at MIT looking into using IA to diagnosis Covid by the cough. It aspires to us AI framework was based on existed one for Alzheimer's research.Determined it could pick up four biomarkers relating to vocal cord strength, sentiment, lung and respiratory response, and muscular degradation specific to COVID-19. More a pre-screening tool than testing one if they get it working.

Temperature maybe part of the control measures for covid. Much has been debated around this it looks like optimal figure maybe 5°C to 15°C. So having your window open and the heating on may not be sure a bad thing after all.

Optimal climatic temperature. Not the temperature where people caught it. It may simply mean covid19 spreads more easily in shut up rooms indoors and people are more likely to shut themselves up indoors when outdoor temperature is below 15°c, which doesn't seem surprising. The challenge is to persuade people to keep meeting outdoors or in ventilated spaces through winter.

Oh FFS! Another bandwagon for this traitor to jump on. The Fox News cheques must've stopped arriving.

Mind boggling.

Some care staff don't actually work in residential homes but provide care in the client's own home. They are visiting several different premises a day

Yes. I think I said that, several posts back. My youngest daughter is one such carer.

I agree, not confusing at all. Straightforward and sensible. And not much different from what’s already been in place for the last 3 weeks.

Just had need to check up a few things. Had a look at the up dated infection control guide for clinical care and covid (20th oct). PHE for a good month has accepted airborne transmission and ventilation is now widely seen a good idea. Yet even it's own updated PIC guide is wrong. Can you move past AGP's being only risk

Nice to see the BBC still wheeling out the expert cracks at least balance it with credible experts. Big hint credible experts don't need the daily hate to publish things.

Planned before end of Friday (when the furlough scheme was to end on Sat) and no-one with authority works at weekends?

Correct. This one cannot be blamed on company management. I assume this is not an isolated example.

It sort of can be blamed on company management because why haven't they set up some process to handle unexpected eleventh-hour announcements of law changes when it's pretty clear from 2020 so far that we're currently being governed by a group with all the thoughtful precision timing of a flock of headless chickens?

Almost certainly not an isolated example, though.
