Speaking in Geneva, the World Health Organization's (WHO) Dr Maria van Kerkhove cast doubt on the benefit of rapid serology tests due to a lack of evidence around coronavirus immunity.

She said: "There are a lot of countries that are suggesting using rapid diagnostic serological tests to be able to capture what they think will be a measure of immunity.

"Right now, we have no evidence that the use of a serological test can show that an individual has immunity or is protected from reinfection."
"These antibody tests will be able to measure that level of seroprevalence - that level of antibodies but that does not mean that somebody with antibodies means that they are immune."

well thats cheerful news, we are all going to be infected for the rest of our life until we die

If parks reduced capacity to 50% or whatever, surely they'd then have to implement a pre-booking system as if you get the usual crowds turning up then no end of people will end up getting turned away.

Quite possibly. I think this sort of thing will potentially become the new normal for a while. The complexity with somewhere like Orlando is you could end up with flights and hotels but no access to the parks.

Yes, my thinking exactly. Although there will naturally be a dip in guest footfall anyway I'd think due to some people not wanting to go out or on holiday for a while, but somewhere with a high concentration of parks like Orlando, where people do go on holiday just for the theme parks will struggle with capacity more than your more regular theme parks that aren't near each other.
 
these 5 measures the gov say must be met to come out of lockdown

the last being they must be sure there isn't a spike in a second wave of infection

by the very nature of letting people socialise again and spread the virus there will undoubtedly be a second wave of infection

are they saying then we will never ever be out of lockdown as there will not be a vaccine for this and heard immunity wont happed as we are not allowed to socialise to achieve it

Biggest thing to take from that is the word spike. We can lift the lockdown, and deal with a mellow wave of cases. We don’t want two days and have five thousand cases.

Once we’re sure we’re in a position to achieve and manage this, they’ll lift the lock down. Remember, it’s all about protecting the NHS capacity.

Here’s one for @bluesonichd

Shocking police officer. (Daily Mail link but story backed up by official investigation)
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...r-caught-camera-threatening-make-offence.html



The police force has also apologised for the unnamed officer's 'completely unacceptable' language and behaviour, as shown in a video widely shared online.

A young man, believed to be from Accrington, said he was out picking up a quad bike he had bought when he was pulled over by police on Friday afternoon.

In the video, filmed in Accrington, the driver is heard saying: 'You're harassing me, what for? I've done nothing wrong...'

While failing to adhere to social distancing and retain a two-metre distance, the officer shouts at him: 'Sit in your car and shut up.' It is, however, not clear that the incident had anything to do with ongoing restrictions amid the coronavirus crisis.

The police officer then adds: 'I'll lock you up... I'll make something up... who are they going to believe, me or you?'

The following day, Lancashire Police apologised for the officer's behaviour and announced they will be conducting an investigation.

Chief Constable Andy Rhodes said in the statement: 'The footage shows language and behaviour from one officer which were completely unacceptable and for this I apologise without reservation.

'We recognise the impact that this behaviour will have had, both on the young man concerned, and on the hard-earned trust and confidence of the wider public, particularly the comments about making offences up.

That should be a very quick investigation and he should be sacked as quickly as possible to protect confidence in the police. If that officer isn't sacked it would just show that the police is happy to have corrupt officers working for them. Stay tuned folks.
