Coronavirus (2021) thread

Vague and possibly incorrect recollections follow:

Novavax haven't submitted final data and don't anticipate full scale production for a while (you need both production data and clinical trial data for approval).

J&J sumitted a couple of weeks earlier in the EU (it's normal for major markets to be prioritised) - UK approval imminent.

Yo're right about Novavax not having filed for approval yet.

Moderna have just announced that they will commence deliveries to the UK in April.

Talking about the J&J vaccine, I know we've ordered an initial 30m doses, and with imminent approval for use i assume this would be factored into the recent roadmap announcements by the government and indeed the interuption as mentioned yesterday? For example, if and when this is approved, are we still likely to see that fairly significant interruption to our vaccine programme or would this speed the whole thing up again?

It 100% helps in not passing on the virus to others. It must do when you look at what the vaccine does do. Yes, it doesn't stop you catching the virus, it stops (in the main) the symptoms of the virus.

What's the main transmission method for the virus? Coughing.

Therefore, if the virus stops people coughing it must help in reducing transmission.

What can't definitively be said at the moment is that the vaccine itself stops transmission as there's not enough evidence for that.

Hope I didn't miss the irony but THAT would be easy!

You'll have to add loud or extended talking, singing, sneezing etc. to the list and there we are... :(

Wales data:

4 deaths - was 12 last week

297 cases - was 195 last week

positivity 3.8% today - was 1.6% last week

(However. 99 of these today are apparently back reported cases from two months ago and half of those from the North Wales area Betsi Cadwaldr health board - which is the region around the Rhyl / Prestatyn - Wales say they have fixed the issue that led to this happening already so it is a one off.)

Weekly Pop score 43 - was 43 yesterday - was 43 last week.

Only hang out with/around introverts that do not have any allergies....
