Apols if this has already been posted (I've kept away from this thread as felt along with the news I was being bombarded with negativity and started to feel it...

Any idea about this?

 
Could be huge. Only problem is the whole world would suddenly want it so it could be many many many months too.

Yep for sure. But if it's proven to work, you can bet that money will be thrown left right and centre and get this distributed as fast as possible in vast quantities around the world. It won't be like usual production, I'd imagine absolutely everything will be expedited. That's IF this works and has a big, positive, safe effect.
 
Another day showing that the reproductive factor (Rn, originally R0) has flatlined with another 4,500+ new cases.
Surely even Whitty, Vallance and the other members of SAGE can now see the truth of it?

I'd agree. The case numbers of new infections are barely dropping now which isn't good. To drop the new infections further it would mean even tighter restrictions and that's probably not doable at this stage.
 
whats the metro Manchester area?
Manchester’s region consisting of the densely populated urban core and its less-populated surrounding territories, sharing industry, infrastructure, and housing. It’s a larger area than Gtr Manchester (although there are actually small parts of Gtr Mcr that aren’t in the Manchester Metropolitan Area).
 
Big news from New York.

They've done their State-wide antibody survey. 14.9% statewide have antibodies which rises to 21.9% in New York City.

The Death Rate from Covid is 0.5% based on US antibody data (includes hospitals and nursing homes but excludes other Covid deaths)

I believe if you have recently been infected you don't produce antibodies. On the basis of that what do you do? It's actually a much much bigger number than I expected. Is it accurate? if it is, is herd immunity realistic given the wave has been and gone? Perhaps it is.

It certainly make the UK government strategy of sustained infection a little more credible in my eyes. I don't know what to think now. Perhaps just digest the news. I think it's good news to be honest. It means that there could be a way out without a vaccine but it will take a long long time.

no risk of another peak

that’s NO risk

that’s going to come back to bite them on the arse in due course
 
As amusing as it may be, I can’t stand these sort of people. She wasn’t remotely interested in her “constitutional rights”, it was a bored citizen just wanting an argument with the police. Same old story.
Exactly.

This 'I know MY rights' brigade are the amongst most selfish bunch of c*nt's on the planet.
