How do you feel? (Part 1)

Last time I had an infection (decades ago, admittedly) the dentist wanted it sorted with antibiotics before he would set about dealing with the tooth.

Sorry to hear you’re in pain though. Toothache’s a bugger.

You too @BobC.

It seems that the new CARE badges trumpeted yesterday by Matt Hancock for care home staff cost £1.20 each and the MOQ is 100.

They also aren’t new but have been available for a year.

I suspect that many care homes would rather spend the money on PPE or test kits right now.

He would have been better advised to put a hold on VAT that care homes are having to pay on PPE that they wouldn’t normally need…
Presumably VAT applies on the cost of the badge as well?

Just done the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine’s COVID-19 survey - just 5 mins, worth doing.

The results of over 6000 surveys are interesting (do the survey and you can see them), including this one - demonstrating that 93% have doubts that the government is being completely honest about the outbreak:

That’s not a bad result. Only 7% are away with the fairies. Given that Nadine Dorries is in the government I’m surprised it’s as many as 7% TBH.

The meanings of some possible responses were a bit open to interpretation, but it’s very hard to avoid that (e.g. you could argue that the one about the government telling us the WHOLE truth can only have a binary response - the truth is either WHOLE or it isn’t. If they wanted to know our view of the government’s truthfulness on a sliding scale, which clearly they do, then they should have left the word ‘whole’ out).
