Dr John Campbell

Thank you for posting this. What a very, clear sensible man. I wish he was giving the daily briefings!

I’ll keep watching daily.

Just as an aside I loved that he used a typed sheet to convey information and a pen to make his emphases.

Interesting, sensible, knowledgeable guy. Thanks for links

I'll try to give updated links as he records new ones.

I watched his video about vitamin d...really interesting...lovely guy..could listen to him for hours

Really good just listened to him makes sense.

Thank you. That was very interesting.

Thanks for posting this.

Someone worth listening to daily.

Yes, keep them coming

He's doing more briefings now; I panicked the other day because he hadn't done one for several days and I find him a bit of a lifeline. I had, however, just not found them on utube. He's the reason why I bought vit D the other week. Although he doesn't hold back on the seriousness of the situation I find the information that he gives very reassuring/empowering.

He has been posting about the virus since January. Pity that no one in the government didn't pay some attention. He has been spot on all along and not with hindsight

This is exactly what I believe is happening, a great many have been infected already and have had mild or no illness and that in the next few weeks most of us will have been exposed.

The isolation and lockdown is slowing the numbers peaking, it was interesting that Thailand had an antibody test but not us!.

Thank you GGMK3

What I would like to know is just how long this virus has been around and whether or not there are people in the UK who were unknowingly infected with it before the assumed date of 31st January.

A very worthwhile watch

Very interesting video! I have question that might make me sound thick ? it’s regarding testing for Covid 19 if you have been home isolating because a family member had symptoms and you haven’t had symptoms so could go back to work after getting tested and it’s negative so you are told you can go back to work what happens if after being in work you then have symptoms my point is testing everyone for it is not really going to stop the spread ....

I'd like to know if those that have had the flu and/or pneumonia vaccine have had a better prognosis. I've been meaning to have a pneumonia jab for ages but just didn't get round to it.

Thanks so much for this link GGMk3 - I’ve shared it with my colleagues. It’s interesting that the fnumbers who might have been infected come nowhere close to the figures required for herd immunity - what on earth was this Govt thinking? Did one of Cummings misfits and weirdos put this forward as a strategy I wonder?

GracesGran, thank you for posting this.

It’s correct that we are nowhere near herd immunity YET but in maybe a couple of months that could well change. Because there are reports of whole families with mild symptoms, including members with no symptoms, there is a significant level of immunity in the population.

If they can get an antibody test it will help a lot to get a picture of the actual level of exposure. They have used antibody testing for some animal diseases for many years, they are not 100% accurate. If our outbreak follows Spain and Italy there will be a peak in 2 weeks, then we really need that test.

Labaik I've been having the flu jab for years and I've also had the one-off pneumonia jab. I tried to find out if either protects me, but sadly it appears not.

PS. However, I did find that I have an almost unopened box of high strength Vitamin D tablets, which I bought before I was prescribed them officially.

Herd immunity requires at least 60% of the population to have antibodies (and unless we’re planning to close borders that means 60% of the global population). There’s no way we’ll get there in 2 or 3 months - nor would we want to as the burden that it would place on the health services, economies and mortuaries in a very short period of time would be devastating.

I’ve been taking vit D for years now. Not sure I feel any different, but I think that is the point. Staying healthy is the point.

He’s good though isn’t he? That’s because he is on top of his brief and why someone who isn’t appears to waffle and piffle.

What an interesting, informative man with a very calm reassuring manner.

I feel much more optimistic after listening to him, although he does deal with facts and nothing is sugar coated.

This is "London Real interview, Part 2" put up today.

If you didn't go back in the videos this is London Real interview Part 1 from 6 days ago. It worth watching this first although figures have changed over the last six days
