the death toll, hospital and infection rates are dropping significantly

They are. However, that is normal behaviour. For as likely as it was that numbers would drop significantly, it’s equally as likely there will be a 2nd peak. That is how a virus, generally, works.

Now is absolutely not the time to be getting giddy and thinking about a return to life as we knew it 3 months ago. Now is the time for preparation. Preparation for a 2nd peak and getting the nation ready fo winter, where this thing could well have a field day.

Not necesarily you are more likely to have PPE in an icu whereas you will be interacting with other staff not wearing ppe in the canteen.

Fuck me!!
Ok you take your stats and spend a day in icu while I have a bacon roll in the canteen

So only London and the midlands are below 7 and as such the only 2 really that should be easing lockdown, the north east certainly isn't looking like it should be changinng anything

Seems reasonable for schools to reopen if you’re in London. Everywhere else, don’t bother.

Questions,written due to technical issues

R higher in the north,easing lockdown by region ? A country wise approach

Why are the French excempt from quantene (sp) bringing in the rule to keep R rate down,boris and French are in discussions,plans will be laid out in the coming days

Media

Test track and trace in place for schools but June 1? Safety is paramount,small class sizes etc,that is how we will keep kids and teachers safe,didn't really answer the questions

Some regions will not be opening schools,are you concerned ? Discussions ongoing PPE,tests and hosp beds? PPE still a challenge ,testing all patients and staff with and without symptoms,at no time were the nhs overwhelned,plenty of spare capacity

Uk able to produce vaccine? See above,by Sept 30 million will be able to be made

Airline industry,heath of the nation came first,must keep the R down

Language and cultural differences,how is contact tracing working for them as they are high risk communities? Paying attention to the barriers in those communities,recruitment will cover those issues,risk assessment for nhs staff in the black and ethnic communities

Some answers didn't really answer the questions

The French aren’t exempt from quarantine. Whoever asked that is way behind the news. It was changed last week so only lorry drivers and covid 19 workers (whatever that means) are exempt. Everyone else will be quarantined.

We still don’t have a clear answer to the question, I’m not sure what the way back to normal life will be.

oxford have started to develop a vaccine that looks really promising, that’s what I’ve taken today from the briefing :))

He also said we might never find a vaccine,that is coming from everyone,we are making it now so if it turns out to be safe and effective we have it ready to go,props to Astra for taking the risk on it

 

[Bovril]

From all reports all nations will have a second wave, my gut feeling is we will fare better than most, as said previously lets see in 12 Months and then compare (which in my opinion is pointless anyway).

From what I understood, there will be 30 million doses of this vaccine available in September but they can't be used till the results of the clinical trials with the last one of which being in October. So if all goes well it's likely that the earliest the vaccine will be available to the public is November?

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Not a cat in hell’s chance before 2021.
They’ve only just tested that it doesn’t kill monkeys!

How come? I thought they'd have the vaccine to the first group of humans?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

So if that data from the ONS is unreliable is it then the case that all ONS data is unreliable given the QA system is the same?

I'd say the data across the board is manipulated to suit the narrative as needed.

We won't have a vaccine till next year,we are taking a chance and making what is being tested now but that doesn't hurry up the trials,they go at their own pace

That's what was said in the briefing. The last group of trials is scheduled for October.

likely it’s the Jenner institute that’s developed the vaccine; publicly funded by us. AZ have the production network (at least in the UK).

It's posts like this that remind me I should stay off this thread.

Moronic in the extreme.
