    Then of course there are those that never want to read the truth in the first place.

    It has struck me, particularly since COP26 how many experts, seem to be super experts. two leading covid experts rocked up under the guise of climate experts, they may of course have doctorates in micro biology and climate science, but I'm not convinced.

    Meanwhile a good mate of mine who is a bona fide doctor of virology, and beavering away at the local public health labs is rather an un-assuming chap, he seems quite non plussed about the pandemic, save for saying he no longer has to explain to everyone what he does for a job, and is far more interested in DIY outside of work than virology. He has said that there is no such thing as a covid expert, in so much as its not been around long enough for anyone to know enough to be an expert.

    I feel safe in the knowledge that the real scientists are hard at it, some of the expert professors are on the tellybox or in front of MPs commitees so much of the time that if it was left to them we would be getting no where!

    Noticed on the telly this morning that a South African virologist had said that the Omicron version only gave symptoms similar to a cold or flu. This is in line with what others have said in the past about the future for Covid, they predicted it would stay around for some time but become less dangerous having weaker symptoms as it evolved.

    She's head of the South African Medical Association or similar...

    Unfortunately she's the wrong type of expert for our hysterical media, they only like drama queens who make everything out to be catastrophic...

    My experience of Covid is in line with Bob's summary. Please see Sally Green's thread about masks for more details.

    And (to get back on track), remember, I'm a Leading, Top, Screwfix Select Plumber!

    I worked at a good level in hospitals.
    The PROF was always older usually untidy needing a haircut.
    There was not many around. But they were taken seriously.
    But you felt they knew there stuff.
    Now its seems PROFs are 10 a Penny. ( old term maybe )
    Or so young I do wonder how they got to Prof level.

    One got caught out in Physio Labs in BIG hospital I worked in.
    Set some alarm off.
    Fire and all the folks on site very quick
    He was caught with a little still going in a cupboard.
    Now THAT IS a proper PROF

    Beats me mate. I've got way more posts, way more likes and way more points - but I'm not yet part of the hallowed elite. Member status just seems to be totally random.

    I take all the experts with a pinch of salt and get all my reliable information from taxi drivers.
