Frankly, over the past nine months we have been absolutely baffled by most of the so-called scientific 'experts' who are continually in conflict with one another over Covid. If one suggests method x, the other suggests opposite method x. It's bewildering. Step forward world-renowned microbiologist Emeritus Professor Hugh Pennington of Aberdeen University and the only expert we have taken seriously throughout the pandemic.
Professor Pennington is now calling, again, for quarantine hotels to be set up all over the UK to isolate mandatorily both those who test positive for Covid and their close contacts and all at their own expense. It's a tried and tested method in some countries, including Australia and New Zealand. Professor Pennington maintains that 'unless we do something drastic this virus is going to go on circulating and killing people. One of the main problems is that too many people are not self-isolating after testing positive and are becoming super-spreaders'.
The most frightening statistic is that 80% of Covid cases are caused by 20% of those who have been infected. The Professor maintains, quite logically, that if that 20% were removed to such hotels for a short period, then that figure of 80% would not get infected.
'It's that simple', maintains the Professor. Unfortunately, it's far too clever an idea for those dumb politicians currently in charge of our lives - and here in Scotland The Covid Junkie wouldn't get her daily fix of the telly either.
