Plague Tapes #67

Dr. Groove brings you Plague Tapes #67 during this US election week. What does it show, more confusion and entrenchment, and how Dr. Groove is clueless as to how this world is spinning these days. He takes solace again in music, bringing you another eglectic selection – which goes all over the place. It almost never happened, so Soviet Pop the engineer deserves special mention for overcoming a hard disk failure and keeping the show on the road.

Andrew brings us the good news about how Level 5 lockdown is having the desired effect of dragging down our case numbers. Imagine how much better and lower we could have been if we’d done this when NPHET asked for it. For an example of the shit that happens when you delay and act later, we can look to the EU now. As Mike Ryan says from the WHO, act first. Case numbers are down to 444 (Wednesday 4^th Nov.) and with a potential R value somewhere between .9 and .7. Positivity is down to below 5% and in NI – we have positivity still at 20 – 25% and Arlene talking about them coming out of lockdown there on the 11^th of November! IFR – infection fatality rate – is considered to be between 1 and 1.4% following a New York study. Andrew discusses this and we briefly look at vaxines and the 11 that are in phase 3 of the trials. Finally, Travel & testing is discussed as we look at what plans are when we get into December for those from the diaspora who might think of flying home for the crimbo.
