Bingo !I know, but so far in UK it has infected Charles and his wife, Boris and his fiancé, it has affected London's Jewish community and its Muslim community. It has basically infected a lot of communities, like the horse racing community that went to Cheltenham for their annual booze up. You cannot make a case for it targetting the poor when such people are infected, it is a virus, it will propagate anywhere, and doesn't care about the UKs political or economic system. Some are making an issue about bus and train drivers on Londons transport system, but a train driver on the tube doesn't meet his passengers and a bus driver doesn't go as close to the passengers as the passengers do to each other.
Just watched the 6 o-clock news. Something going on at Cargill it seems. Hope you stay safe Tim.
This virus may never have a vaccine. Just what the hell did China create?
Gene therapy, within weeks, really?There is hope on the radar Global news
Entos Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is developing a vaccine to prevent COVID-19 infections — and it could be ready in less than a year.
The Edmonton-based company is led by Dr. John Lewis, a University of Alberta researcher who is world-renowned for his team's work on prostate cancer detection, progression and drug delivery.
Entos is creating a DNA-based vaccine which would protect against multiple components of the new coronavirus for "maximum protection."
Unlike a traditional vaccine which gives patients a weakened or inactive virus to provoke an immune response, Lewis said the Entos product would deliver battle instructions.
"We can just give the DNA instructions for our own cells to make [novel coronavirus] proteins, to make part of the virus, and then have our body create our own therapeutic vaccine," Lewis told Global News.
The Entos CEO says the method, named Fusogenix, has several advantages: stronger defense, a more stable vaccine and the ability to make a lot of product quickly.
The company plans to have a candidate vaccine ready within a few weeks, and is now in talks with potential partners to fast-track it to human trials.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday that Canada is spending $192 million on developing and producing vaccines for the new coronavirus.
Afaik it's never been effective to use such a technique, but I'm not up to speed with the latest developments.Not sure which I am scared more of.
Tim, that map says nothing about sources and I disagree with your assertion that this is due to immigrants and foreign workers. If you have facts to back up your claim then let's see 'em. The reason, in my opinion, that the Calgary zone has the most cases is that this city is a corporate hub with a large international airport.
As I see it, the source of the disease and its spread in Canada is due to ALL international and domestic travel (remember March break?) that continued uninterrupted for some time after this disease was already established in BC and Ontario.
Something positive
Cptn Tom Moore 99years old wanted to raise £500000 before his 100th birthday but the total raised is now actually more like £5m !
Well done Sir your an inspiration
Army veteran, 99, raises £4m for 'humbled' NHS
Probably because they don't have it and any data means little at the moment, such things come later. The people who are dying today may have been infected 4 weeks ago. This is just politicizing the pandemic in accordance with the writers agenda. What is known is that the old are extremely vulnerable and in UK that means predominantly white. The first people in UK to be infected had connections to China, or to skiing holidays in Italy and Austria. There were several Arsenal footballers and the manager were infected by the owner of Olympiacos, well that may fit the racial element of the piece being "not white" but all of them are either millionaires or billionaires.Canada's 'colourblind' coronavirus data could leave officials blind to racial inequities
Officials don't address question of race and COVID-19

I agree that it's politicizing the issue. We have bigger issues to worry about than stewing over why we aren't breaking down the numbers based on race.
