It’d be great if this works, long mooted as an effective treatment.

The actual story is that they are buying lots of different drugs in order to run tests on them including this one. Now call me an old cynic, but I always find it's worth reading past the headline where the press are concerned.

And I think it's more informative to post a link to the article, rather than a screen capture of the headline, thanks

It’s purely for technical reasons. If I see stuff on Twitter, then I can read the entire article but can’t seem to find the actual http link. I screenshot it so people can get the gist and seek it out if they wish.

(But if anyone knows how I can get the actual link from Twitter on a iPad...)

I don't understand this - 70 cases isn't a flurry is it? Surely some new cases are bound to happen. We're talking about 100s of thousands of kids.

Do they know if they had the virus before returning to school...not stated whether it was children or teachers?

Speaking of Patel...

The latest death graph... looks like we're just heading under the 100/day mark - let's hope the trend continues.

Thanks. I’ll give it a go.

Good news - ZERO deaths in the whole of Sussex over the last 24hrs.

Apparently this time last week ICU was empty in Worthing.......it’s now full

Interesting though that is, how does that possibly qualify as good news.

People don't seem to get the hang of this.
