Samba-2 : New test a ‘game-changer’

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52130230

Addenbrooke’s hospital in Cambridge has become the first in the UK to use a new, much quicker Covid-19 test for staff and patients.

Called Samba two, it gives a result in just 90 minutes – as opposed to the 24 hours tests currently take – and has been adapted from an HIV test by a small Cambridge technology company.

The chief executive of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Roland Sinker, told the BBC it could be a “game-changer” in helping them cope with the crisis.

 

FDA Says Zantac Should Be Pulled From Market, Citing Cancer Risk

The Food and Drug Administration requested Wednesday that manufacturers immediately pull all prescription and over-the-counter versions of the drug.

The trouble with ranitidine, the active ingredient in Zantac and its equivalents, rests with a contaminant known as N-Nitrosodimethylamine, or NDMA. The agency says that over time, NDMA — a probable cancer-causing substance that’s also found in various foods, including cured meats — shows up as an impurity in ranitidine in concentrations that exceed federal standards.

The FDA issued a warning last September about the drugs, prompting pharmacies, including CVS, Walgreens and Walmart, to halt sales of Zantac and its equivalents. Now, amid an ongoing investigation, the FDA says it has confirmed that the issue is linked with the way ranitidine naturally breaks down over time in normal storage conditions — not how it is manufactured.

Shelter? Can fuck off!

When I was homeless at 17, Richmond council and Shelter said ‘we do not house, single white men under 35’…. Paying money to shelter, is like pissing in the wind, or adopting a polar bear with WWF… how is you adopting a cudly toy going to stop the poles from melting?

Feel better now, you fucking mug?

Dominick Raab…

You cannot trust a Jew, a Jew is solely focused on the denial of Palestine and the containment of their wealth!

I don’t hate Jews, but I know I have never been invited to eat with Jews. Muslims, Sikhs and Buddhists have welcomed me to their hearth and their hearts…

In over 35 years of Buddhist practice, every philosophy has shared their precepts with me and their wisdom.

But not the jews!

I do not find Jews to be responsible or forward thinking.

No wonder god cursed them!

Coronavirus and HIV…

What happens if you are tested, found clear and pick it up 10 minutes later?
