It wont when the numbers start getting scary. They already are. I was hoping that a vaccine would get here just in time. Oxford vaccine looks compromised and we don't know if that's legitimately the case or whether it's a casualty of US politics. A similar US vaccine has also gone down. That leaves us with Pfizer and Moderna. Target date for results end Oct and late Nov.
not heard about the oxford vaccine failing whats happened to it
 
Boris said in the presser that he is following the science ,he trotted that out in response to a difficult question he didnt want to answer , he clearly isnt as whitty and SAGE have told him what needs doing, rushi has put inplace the finances
It’s not really his job to follow the science though. It’s his job to listen to the science (all the science as well) and make a balanced judgement about the risks, costs and benefits involved, to be fair.

It's been suspended for over a month now in the USA because of 2 adverse events. No one will discuss it. Similar thing may have happened with another adenovirus based vaccine JJ earlier this week.

Not clear if it's US politics -election and US first - or a genuine problem. Other countries are proceeding with trials but the largest trial is in the USA and they've put it on hold. You've not heard about it cos the media is not discussing it.
 
I’m not sure whether the circuit breaker would make much of a difference. If the current rules are enforced properly hardly anyone will want to go to the pub as you can’t sit with mates from different households.

Btw Kier might be right but it’s still a shame he couldn’t speak out about the grooming gangs.

He has said every single time since the start till now that he is following the science , it is an easy throwaway comment to shift the blame when he is put on the spot , we know he isnt now so he should stop saying it and take responsibility

Grooming gangs are known spreaders as well?
 
Scousers doing what they do best, always the victim.

Yet not a single fuck given choosing it upon themselves to ignore the advice and restrictions to flood the city centre with 25,000 people to have a title party.

That, and the Atletico Madrid game, put that place on a one-way ticket to chaos.

Feel sorry for those businesses there that did adhere.
Not one voice in The media felt like calling them out either!
Fuck the health of the country it’s those loveable bin dippers and they haven’t won a league in thirty years so it’s all good fun

A circuit breaker would be a national wide lockdown.

It would make a difference.

And clamp down on rule breakers.
It really is that simple. Large on the spot fines that can't be argued would soon see a big reduction of the pond life who think they can do what they want.
Going off how many up and down the country seem to think the rules don't apply to them I'd wager a good chunk of the fine money would come in useful to the government right now.
 
The first thing that strikes me is the ages of the patients filling the critical care beds.
The faces of COVID-19 victims seared into our collective consciousness are mostly elderly. Not exclusively but overwhelmingly. But as I walk through Warrington Hospital's intensive care unit I see that many of these patients are not old


maybe not young, but hardly the picture of health either.
 
The first wave of COVID-19 vaccines are unlikely to end the pandemic, the UK vaccines chief has told Sky News.

The UK has 340 million doses of six prototype vaccines in its stockpile – more than any other country.

But Kate Bingham, who heads the Vaccine Taskforce, said uncertainties remain over how much protection they give and for how long.

Further candidates, including some in early development, will still be needed.
