"O'Leary has also been a Manchester City supporter since an early age. In 2003, he was offered the opportunity to buy a stake in the club but believed the potential benefits did not outweigh the risk and preferred to visit England to watch a few matches each season.[45] He wore a Manchester City shirt when unveiling Ryanair's new destinations to and from Manchester Airport in 2011.[46]"

I think we can say the Oxford vacine is not going to be successful after it's pretty disastrous Monkey trials.

Good job UK pharma signed a deal with Bill Gates to share vaccine manufacture.
Of course there's the Imperial College London vaccine that is being developed.

Would you sacrifice 20 humans if it meant saving 100k lives? Not a question that I have an answer to. Well I may do so long as I wasn't in and amongst the 20, nor was anyone I know.

Everyone who served in the military must have asked themselves a similar question the first time they went into combat. i know I did.

Interesting interview with professor Tim Spector on sky,he is a genetic epidemiologist at kings college,they are doing research into covid patients/symptom who says the loss of taste and smell symptoms were obvious and reported weeks ago,those people would have been left to infect others

He says this disease is something he has never come across before, in thirty years,admits we don't understand it,it is weird the way people get symptoms differently and so many different reactions to it and we do not understand the immune response

Refreshing to listen to someone honest ,i wil post it when it is written up later

If it can reduce the severity in most cases, then it depends on what you're counting as successful! I'd be happy if I knew I'd get the virus but having been vaccinated it'll be mild to moderate symptoms at worst for example.

would be ok for herd immunity but those at risk could still get hammered by it I guess?

I think you are being a little bit negative here. Trials are exactly that. They may have learned things from the trials that point them in the direction of a more successful outcome.

The scientists have said all along they are confident that this thing can beaten it might take a little time. I have faith that they will crack it.

I would sacrifice 100K Scousers if it meant saving one life.
