Coronavirus (2021) thread

This is a good clear press conference , although I can’t see the army guy ?

Hmmm? One's a frontline gp and the other a director of comm's

A director of comms who goes on the frontline to support his colleagues and has no reason to lie to me. I have known him for nearly 20 years and trust what he says.

I'm no expert at summarising this, but I *think* this is a previously infected person being reinfected with the SA strain, and the reinfection being more severe than the original.

Also opposite of what a customer who works alongside AZ told me.

I do not know anyone who's had a vaccine. I know several old and vulnerable and working people who qualify for 1st lot.
One and a half million done already equates to roughly 1 in 60 people.

Its a logistical nightmare and we should all be patient.

Army guy speaks with so much clarity, should be PM

Okay, GM is rising but not yet struggling despite the huge rise in the North West.

As before other parts of the NW driving the big numbers.

Indeed despite the GM total rising from 1583 to 1777 (highest in two months) on a day numbers in UK fell by 10,000 cases - that 194 rise is a modest part of the 1368 increase in the NW.

As a result the % of the NW that GM contributed was down from 27% to 24.9%

A much more reassuring thread

So people expect the Oxford vaccine roll out to go from 6 hospitals to over 1000 sites without any hiccups. Total bollocks of course.

Really prefer reading it when it's summarised so simply as that, makes it much easier to understand. Thanks for the link.

Taking a quick look at the case report, she appeared to take prednisolone well before it is recommended for treatment in the first infection which could blunt her immune response. Reinfection was known before I would not be too worried based on one case.

They’re doing it, finally! I’ve been calling for this for months.. they’re finally saying if you don’t follow the rules you will contribute to killing people!

FINALLY!

Boris also said “these people who are outside hospitals protesting and calling this whole thing a hoax simply need to grow up” WELL SAID!

The head of the NHS said “if you’re someone who sneaks into a hospital at nine o’clock and take a picture of an empty corridor and then post that on social media claiming the NHS is not overwhelmed... YOU ARE LYING, and you are contributing to the spread of false information, the virus and deaths” WELL SAID!

FINALLY!

All that was missing there was the army bloke coming in third and saying “we will work with the Police to lock these people up!”

I take it this is a prelude to your “look away now if you’re in Merseyside or the Wirral”?

The vaccine roll-out is far too slow.

The vaccine roll-out is far too slow.

Its as quick as it can be with supply chains and quicker than most.Far too early to say it's too slow.
