Coronavirus (2021) thread

This is bad news. That said it depends how ill people get the 2nd time round.
I can see borders remaining shut for a long time as a result and an update jab in the Autumn.

It is. Although, on the positive side, it says within the post itself that it's not taking B or T cells into account and this is purely an antibody thing. Also, are these antibodies from prior infection, vaccine, or both? Or would that not matter?

It’s like clockwork orange in Stockport at the moment.

I call the police but they didn’t want to know.

They should be patrolling the streets to prevent crime, not sat behind a desk.

Don't think that's happened in any area for a long time, sadly.

Dr John Campbell talking to one of the few MPs with scientific knowledge. David Davies.
Get yourself and all your older relatives on large doses of vitamin D 800% NRV now


P.S. With at least 1/4 vitamin K2 by ratio.
P.P.S. NICE need to be taken out and shot.

Nope, they couldn’t care less.

Did a job for a guy whos a stockport copper. Hes said the biggest increase has been violence and sexual assault within the home and male suicides

Does not surprise me. Does anyone know how current suicide rates are?

The tweet mentions serum samples from people infected in the first wave i.e. plasma. That means it's antibodies from prior infection. However, I think you would expect a similar response to antibodies generated by a vaccine as the vaccine mimics the spike protein of the original virus but that would require a 2nd experiment to confirm.

On the plus point though if there was a more transmissible virus that could entirely evade immunity from wave 1 infection, why hasn't it totally taken off? That suggests to me it's only partway there towards vaccine and immune evasion.

Police have gone missing for months, must be on furlough

They’ve been missing since 1967 when Roy Jenkins stopped them patrolling our streets and they became reactive over proactive.

Can’t remember the last time I saw a police officer on foot.

Isn't that relating to being on lockdown though? And travel even though still active is far more limited etc so perhaps it's just not had as good a chance to spread thus far? Just thinking out loud.

Tbf, their role has increased drastically since then and probably with less staff as population has grown. Spend most of their time babysitting people with mental health issues or looking for missing people, with the word 'missing' being treated loosely as in most cases its a back covering exercise.
