Coronavirus (2021) thread

Yep and it’s entirely normal for there to be amendments to the vaccine.

As I said earlier, I work for a company involved in the vaccine rollout and the potential is now there to get this both rolled out quickly and also the process in place for subsequent rollouts. My concern is the volume of unnecessary deaths until we get to that point though.

Allowing schools to open today, for example, if he shuts them down tonight or later in the week is just negligent and will have unnecessary consequences.

This all should hopefully calm the nerves of those of us thinking this thing will be with us for years.

Vaccines won't eliminate Covid , it won't limit its spread or ease of transmisison.

it is designed to assist the affected fight the disease more effectively than current virals etc.

In short reduce the death rate from or with the virus.

Rubella , polio , TB etc waves

its estimated that 710k die with or a result of flu and flu like symptoms each year on average but could be as many as twice this amount in especially virulent ones.

Covid is like a really bad flu season more easily transmitted with a lot more media exposure.

Another one who is blinkered by poor science. There are not 710k killed by flu each year. The official stats show on average 11k die from flu each year and that includes the winter months of which Covid has only been present for one month of winter so far. I have mentioned this fact and provided references twice before on here so not doing it again. Please stop spreading misinformation.

im all for one last lockdown. But i fall into the category of 3 million who dont receive a penny in assistance if im stopped working (in peoples houses) . Im sat here torn between knowing its needed and worrying sick about how im going to put food on the table. Its a horrible.

I'm in exactly the same boat.

Utter bollox she just jumps in a few hours before he announces thing the divisive woman.

I do get the impression this is her tactic, let’s not forget they’ll already be in comms with each other.

She either always goes one more or adds one more thing or jumps in.

It’s not a coincidence.

And I think the government has been too slow this time so it’s not a defence of Boris.

And without due process.
She‘s not far short of a dictatorship

due process followed. Agreed with Cabinet and then announced to parliament with follow up q and a. Review points established. You appear to be a lone voice on this.

what about piers Morgan going to Carribean for a holiday in a tier 4 area like many of others .

He should be fined then, same as anyone else breaking the rules really.

I agree about travel to a degree, but some has to be allowed to continue, which should only be where essential for work.

REGIONAL SCOREBOARD SUMMARY

Not good news for the NW. As London in falling the NW is rising and the gap closing. NW for second day running sets a new record ever highest number of cases. Though not a huge day to day rise. And many other regions up too.

Vaccines absolutely can eliminate COVID, by proxy of stopping transmission. The more prevalent the virus is, the more reproduction it is doing and thus the more mutations (strains) appear.
