BBC have an “America and the pandemic” hour programme on. What’s the obsession with the US? Need to concentrate on our own pandemic.

Anyone under the age of 40 is a student in my book.

Anyone over the age of 40 carries around Werther’s Original and stinks of piss in my book.

Things are beginning to head in the right direction here, unfortunately.

It's a best case scenario. For the reasons I laid out.

Using optimistic scenarios to plan has worked catastrophically badly so far.

Yeah but we’re not in government so let us dream

in 3 weeks 88 percent of people who die from this will have had the vaccine. In 6 weeks 95 percent. Once the hospitals have capacity and we have done the above and it is seen to be working they will be opening up society. If loads of people get it who are under 50 - 99.9 percent of them will be absolutely fine. This is not happy clapping it is a fact is it not?

absolutely bang on. Nothing wrong with talking about optimistic scenarios either. We have a vaccine now, we didnt before. Things wont be like they were before and society needs to get back to normal asap. Anyone who thinks otherwise with continued lockdowns just in case isnt thinking straight and seeing the bigger picture. If these vaccines were 30 or 40% effective fair enough, but they are not. No one in hospital after the first jab is great news and more than we could have hoped for. They are the solution to end this misery.

That’s great news if true that no one who’s had the first jab has then caught the disease and now in hospital, hopefully proves things will be very different this time once things start relaxing.

It was reported along with the other results of the AZ tests

What the fuck were the Germans and French talking about regarding the AZ vaccine, absolutely bonkers to make the false claims they did, given the actual evidence.
