Both eventualities would be low down on my list of concerns.


I suspect Hancock's referral to the review being underway now probably means extra data has now been submitted.

I predict approval Tuesday, and with the low dose mesning we have 8 million doses immediately. Shoot me if I'm wrong.

The question is whether our govt has the guts to take the hard decisions to hold the thing at bay ahead of vaccination. Today's press conference, and the numbers in a week's time are what concerns me.

Ah I know they're not likely! Just ya know, cynical mood.

I thought my coughing and sore throat, bad as it is/was, would be the end of it.

I can't quite explain what happened to me when I went to bed last night, it was like some bizarre out-of-body-experience.

I was asleep for about an hour when I jumped awake with a horrible metallic taste in my mouth?

I couldn't believe it, soaked head-to-toe in ice-cold sweat, like I'd been for a cold shower in my T-shirt.

I'd no temperature, didn't feel hot, whatsoever, but spent the rest of the night with the shivers.

I'm in front of my desk today, never really have sick days, but there is little snap in my legs.

I consider myself pretty fit, but it just goes to show how it can grab a hold quickly even after four days in.

I'm even more fully appreciative now how easy it is to kill older people or those who have underlying health conditions.

My wife is still tired but my 13-year-old boy is pretty much back on form after nine days in for their own positive results.

We are all out of a 16-day isolation on New Year's Eve. There is hopefully some symbolism I want to take from that...

Stay safe my fellow Blue Mooners. I've made more friends on this board during the last ten months, than I have in ten years in my 'normal' day-to-day life.

They say you find out who your true friends are when the chips are down, I've since discovered all these people I've worked alongside down the years are only there if you can remain useful to them.

Have a wonderful Christmas, best you can, knowing I will see many of you for the first time in hopefully a brighter 2021.

All the best Tolmie and family, we'll get through this shitter soon enough.
 
How are flights been let into the country without any testing as far as I know, the organisation needs to be taken off the politicians and get the military involved, go on a war footing, they have people who know how to do this shit, get people and things where they need to be.
 
20, 917 in UK hospitals tonight. And 1529 on ventilators. We are 700 away from the highest number of patients in April at the height of the first wave. Passing that milestone at Christmas as we almost certainly will is a grim prospect.

Happily still a way to go to get to the 3301 on ventilators as we have better treatments now but as I have emphasised for a while we need to watch the % of patients to ventilators in the areas where this new mutation is prevalent as the numbers on them in London with the same number of patients are much higher than were on them in the NW with the same number of patients just a few weeks ago.

One possible reason is that the NW then had almost entirely the older virus strains and London now has the new one in the majority.

But there are other possible reasons too, of course.

Hope it is one of them and not that the new strain can make you more sick as that would be horrendous news.
 
Just in case it wasn't confusing enough, turns out the Welsh Mutant is different ton the London one.

No idea which is in the NW. Probably both...

If you’d seen some of the footage on social media of last Friday and Saturday night of people on nights out over there, you’d be surprised they aren’t, let’s put it like that....

As I noted the other day that interview with one of the scientists involved a week or so ago on TV inferred that they had traded off a slight delay in approval for submitting extra data because the new trials they had done had produced even better efficacy results and they felt it right to accept a delay if all possible options could be approved.

How long have they been checking for variants?

I assume we’ve had several if not more since the beginning of this without knowing as much as we do now.
