If I have misquoted you then apologies. I obviously read your post to mean something different

I want/need light at the end of the tunnel. NORMALITY! Im sure im not alone. Its been a struggle.
All i asked was when people think that normality will creep back with the fantastic news of today.

not “going on the piss”. Just a glimpse of normality

All teachers who are either (a) over 50 or (b) have underlying conditions are to be in phase 1 of the vaccinations, according to recommendations.

It’s not a case of not catching it if fit and healthy but unlikely to require any treatment and that’s if you even notice you’ve got it. Wouldn’t surprise me if the squad members with it have very few symptoms or feel really ill but just are known to have it as being routinely tested.

There's an American footballer by the name of Myles Garrett. A physical specimen, if there ever was one. It has hit him like a hammer. He constantly looks out of breath and is having 'lung therapy'. I also thought two Newcastle players have not played since November due to suffering with the virus.

The announcement is for Astrazeneca only. The dose regime is two full doses 4-12 weeks apart.

I can't see why Pfizer regime would change.

Edit: You are right. I am watching the announcement and they are changing dose schedule for both vaccines. 4-12 weeks apart for both vaccines.

yes - effectiveness now cited at 22 days-4 months (was what I heard, anyway).
Hence it can now be much longer interval, meaning the first net is much wider with 80% efficacy.

Thanks. Makes sense. So my father in law is getting dose 2 next week. Wonder if that will be delayed.

This journo (Sky or Sun, I forget which) demanding that unpublished data is published so the public can understand what there is - that's mad, as a very significant number won't understand the data.

It'll be published when it's published.

Pfizer vaccine confirmed to not be an issue for anyone with allergies.

Be careful what you wish for ;)

So it’s 70% effective after 1 dose from 22 days

80% effective if the 2nd dose is given after 3 months

also, Sky News really are vile
