Astra Zeneca's behaviour has been exemplary.
A global company that could have made a financial killing out of this pandemic and yet here they are producing a safe, effective vaccine at the lowest cost and on a no profit basis with the objective of maximising the distribution to all countries affected.
Good on 'em.
Have you read the reports of the trial dosages? 3,000 people got the wrong dosages. Apparently these people were better protected but really that's quite concerning that something that should be very carefully controlled goes so wrong.

I give them credit though for being open about it, and for making a good decision when they found about it.
 
Hadn’t read about that...

Don't do it 7 days before when the cases are dropping that quick the chances are by next week we should be in a lower tier. If it's the difference between not opening and opening i'm sure the venue's in question would prefer to be given the chance to open even if at short notice and possibly a few days later. Don't forget this won't be reviewed for another 2 weeks, so that's 3 weeks ahead they are predicting.
Seven days might not make that much of a difference, particularly if hospital beds continue to be full. There is a bit too much emphasis on this thread about daily changes in case numbers IMHO.

I thought you may already know about the number of ‘achievements’ made in science and technology on the back of errors.

That was actually before Astrazeneca were involved, as I read the report (the initial trial was conducted by the University, spin out, AZ took on later trials and commercialisation). Could be wrong.
