Coronavirus (2021) thread

End of May ish then would you think?

Purely guesswork on my part this, but yes or perhaps a little sooner depending on how quick all the main categories get vaccinated.

Is she banned?

She had missed a day of posting worst case scenario and optimism was being given a scintilla of daylight. There was only one outcome

Maybe people who have tested positive?

What about those who have had it, and were never tested ? They get 2 doses, but those that were tested and positive only get one.

This from a country that told us that delaying the second dose was wrong, and that the vaccine we've largely developed isn't fit for their older people.

They're the first country to issue this advice, but it's not they're own making. It's becoming pretty popular consensus. I've no idea how to answer your first question btw.

My point wasn't really about whether it's right or wrong, I'm sure our scientists will be looking at it, more about the hypocrisy of them effectively telling us we were doing it all wrong.

I've no clue what the tweet you posted is telling me, as I've not dug that deep into it all, so nothing in those diagrams makes any sense to me.

On the question I asked, if they tested people for antibodies before they vaccinated, they could perhaps reduce the number of doses required, personally I hope we don't think of doing that, because as I understand it the antibody tests are not 100% accurate either.

I don’t understand how last year people are saying we lifted restrictions too early? From May - September there was barely any cases/deaths. Second wave came from schools going back/winter period.

Yep, big elephant in the room. The thing is until schools go back that's half your workforce not contributing to the economy. I know we have to get the economy going, but the current logic seems to be that lockdown is working so let's not do it anymore!?

I have read suggestions on social media that public sector staff should have a 20% pay cut as it would only be fair. These were serious comments too.

Oh don’t worry the public sector will no doubt be paying for it some way, just like when they paid back the debt caused by the bankers.

The most encouraging report I have read to date:

Guardian discussion with Neil Ferguson

Wonderful achievement to vaccinate 15 million people in ten weeks. I was wondering, however, does anyone know how quickly the adult population could be vaccinated if supply wasn’t an issue? Is a month unrealistic?
