It looks like the Oxford vaccine will be approved in November and ready for distribution to the group selected as priority receivers. 2021 will see a wider distribution filtering into the mainstream population.Whiskyman wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 9:17 pmIt's patently obvious that an airborne virus is going to be transmitted when people mix. So ffs why don't we accept the fact we are going to have to live with this thing until a vaccine becomes available. All that has happened since it first appeared is that governments worldwide have screwed people by reducing, or even totally eliminating, their earning capabilities. Governments have spent (borrowed) money that would have made evn Corbyn's eyes water and for what ? Have we eliminated the virus ? Of course not. And nor will/can we until science develops a cure.Ironworksfc wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 3:31 pm So another 2 week lockdown pending, remember how long 2 weeks to flatten the curve lasted?
Say goodbye to your civil liberties, unless you choose to ignore it and do as you please.
All nicely backed up with the graph of doom today, which I have decided to call 'the inaccurate graph of two halves' that paints a very scary picture in the second half, whilst ignoring the actual data in the first half.
Fuck Boris and his bunch of fucking clowns.
I don't like conspiracy theories but I am beginning to wonder if there are ulterior motives for the pesistent "Project Fear" message the government is putting out. Apparently 3% of people diagnosed with the virus die. Do we even know how that compares with other teransmittable diseases such as flu ? And there is also apparently mounting evidence that, because of limited testing capabilities, many more people than actually reported may have had it and recovered which would obviously significantly reduce the mortality rate if true.
Although strangely enough Johnson and Hancock have been briefing of testing capacity of 2 million tests per day by end October 2020.
