You were also sure this was just a bit of Flu and we’d have forgotten about it come May.Scotland had its highest winter deaths for 18 years - this had been around a lot longer than a few weeks i am sure. The death rate will continue to rise for two more weeks.
The report actually says 'It anticipates the first batches of the COVID-19 vaccine to be available for emergency use authorisation in early 2021'. Not the same as emergency useStarting phase one trials in sept,there is 1000' of people in clinical trials,that takes a long time,it says some available for emergency use early next year,that is not the same as having it for widespread use,i will find something about the emergency use in a bit
That will be the first batch, which you’d hope and expect would be for frontline health workers. Does anyone know what the timescales usually are from producing the initial batches to ramping it up so that it’s readily available for all? How many more months after first starting production?
“We’re ramping up testing”Sorry, but the moment I now hear 'ramping something up', my confidence just drains. At current global 'ramping up' levels, we should all be good to go around early 2025...
Worldometer only updates things that sources provide. The government website only provides regular updates of deaths and cases.Is that from the Worldometer site? Its been that way for a week. Yet thousands have died since. I don't quite understand that at all.
EDIT: Apologies, its the serious cases hat has been at 163 since 25/03/20. Yet thousands have died who mustn't have been serious cases?
Not sure you’re right with that number mate:Expect a hell of a lot more.
575,000 died of swine flu worldwide in 2009 and 2010. Even that figure would only be early June by the time we surpass it. By the end of the year, who knows where we’ll stand...

Bit of confusion but it won't be ready for widespread use for a long time yet imoThe report actually says 'It anticipates the first batches of the COVID-19 vaccine to be available for emergency use authorisation in early 2021'. Not the same as emergency use
Not yet reached Spains peak, the estimate was we’d peak around 5th April so 4 days which may be Spain levels , we can only hope it’s a shorter peak than Spain and Italy.563 deaths today
We’re up there with Spain now :-(
Thats the very high end estimate from the CDC.
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/2009-h1n1-pandemic.html
"fter the peak of illness during the second wave had come and gone in the United States. From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated there were 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (range: 195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (range: 8868-18,306) in the United States due to the (H1N1)pdm09 virus.
Additionally, CDC estimated that 151,700-575,400 people worldwide died from (H1N1)pdm09 virus infection during the first year the virus circulated."
The COVID Visualiser says the same thingIs that from the Worldometer site? Its been that way for a week. Yet thousands have died since. I don't quite understand that at all.

One of the great mysteries that I cannot fathom. In addition, why is our rail network not closed to anyone except NHS staff / absolute key workers (not my fucking window cleaner who came sauntering up the drive today and got given a chamois-sized fucking off)? There are 8 trains from Euston to Piccadilly this evening/tonight. Madness.Something baffling me. The government keeps on saying everyone stay home, yet flights carrying people from infected areas are still coming into the country and the passengers just allowed in with no checks. This surely just makes a mockery of the policy?
1 week ago I said we'd hit 1,000 deaths per day within the next fortnight. Present trajectory has us hitting that on Monday.Not yet reached Spains peak, the estimate was we’d peak around 5th April so 4 days which may be Spain levels , we can only hope it’s a shorter peak than Spain and Italy.
I think because it was an influenza virus we already had most of its genome from our other flu vaccines as we know flu only changes slightly with each new strain.Any idea why it only took around 6 months to generate a vaccine for swine flu back in 2009? I don't even remember being offered it..
We’re in Scotland and our son had many of the symptoms in January, the only thing stopping us thinking he had it is it was it was early January seems too early and I didn’t get it, though my wife had a cough. Not sure he hasn’t had it, he had the cough, headaches, fever, and loss of taste.Scotland had its highest winter deaths for 18 years - this had been around a lot longer than a few weeks i am sure. The death rate will continue to rise for two more weeks.
I’m in the 0.2% range.50-59 years old - 1.3%
40-49 years old - 0.4%
30-39 years old - 0.2%
20-29 years old - 0.2%
10-19 years old - 0.2%
0-9 years old - no fatalities
mortality rate a lot higher above 60
A bit like this current one with lots of countries giving some very questionable numbers, I suppose some will have gone of estimates and others will have gone with “official” released figures.Not sure you’re right with that number mate:
https://www.livescience.com/41539-2009-swine-flu-death-toll-higher.html
That’s saying 203,000.
The WHO say only 18,500:

Fuck knows which number is correct.
