Yep. 60% on a great year.I think the yearly flu jab is usually about 40% effective isn’t it?
Yes 40% but against the virus strains it is designed to counter it is about 90% - the trouble is Flu virus mutates quickly and spreads fairly quickly. Incidently its R number is 1.7 just over half that of CovidI think the yearly flu jab is usually about 40% effective isn’t it?
Kaz, I do not care one bit if you read nothing I post. It is your free choice. So there is nothing to 'get over'.
But I have worked in or with the media all my life and I know the difference between telling the truth and telling the truth you want people to believe. I have been involved in front page tabloid stories so I have seen the difference first hand.
Most mass media engage in both when it suits.

Do I remember correctly that they all had an earlier lockdown than us?Cases today from the three nations apart from England is 1940.
3 wks ago v 2 wks v last wk v today this number is:
3007 v 3090 v 2314 v 1940 today - which looks a promising track
Just read the last 5 pages of the thread! Bloody hell.
My take is it is clearly on the way down in Manchester.
Simply from my Siren Radar. Far less this last week in Town than over the last month.
I ready somewhere that these waves last 6/8 weeks.
Believe that from what i am reading as well.
Good news on the Vaccine front continues.
I am very hopefully that the AZ one is the one and will achieve a higher percentage than the first 2.
Well putExactly there is no neutral ground with the media nowadays, you watch the main stream and it is all about scaring people to death and into complying, then you find another outlet who say CV is nothing, there are plenty of scientists talking on youtube who are giving impartial thoughts as they have no agenda but they are hard to find. It was the same during the US election, one side doing their all to demonize Trump, the other side running full on with the voter fraud narrative.
You are better off looking at the data yourself and forming your own personal opinion. Mine happens to be that I have no fear of covid whatsoever ( and don't know a single person who has ) and don't want to see people lose their livelihoods with these restrictions and our way of life be changed by Governemnts forever in the name of saving the NHS, who should be saving us! That said I won't discredit others opinions, which sadly happens here a lot :(
To have a higher percentage I think would be a miracle. 80 and 95% are already very high for a vaccine.
Covid viruses COULD cause a problem going forward as opposed to Flu due to its high R0 of 3 (but it could by as high as 5 due to asymptomatic transmission).Yes 40% but against the virus strains it is designed to counter it is about 90% - the trouble is Flu virus mutates quickly and spreads fairly quickly. Incidently its R number is 1.7 just over half that of Covid
