Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[Croesy Blue]

Re: Coronavirus update

Most people seem to be overlooking that even 62% efficacy means that 62% will have immunity to Covid and the remaining 38% will have a milder disease.

None of the people vaccinated in the trails required hospital treatment.

Also something that really annoys me is the comparison to the flu jab. The reason the flu jab is 60% effective is that they predict which multiple strains of flu will be prevalent that year and adjust the jab accordingly. The Covid vaccine is targeting one single strain.

Exactly people get lost in the headlines. To get this type of vaccine which is safe and efficient approved in under a year in unbelievable. Get it to people who are in positions where they get high viral loads and people who are at risk of dying first and we can start unlocking a bit. We are so close now, another few months and we will be almost there.

The over 85s have a 12% mortality rate if this is even reduced by half it would be tens of thousands of lives saved.

Apparently a pasty and chips qualifies as a substantial meal, so that shouldn't break the bank.

Interesting that the Guardian says NHS staff will be given the vaccine first. Then over 80s and social care staff.

There are 1.4 m people working for NHS, 1.6 m working for social care and 3.2m age 80 and over. With 2 jabs needed that's our first batch of 10m accounted for.

Eat slowly because apparently you have to leave once you have finished your meal. No hanging around for a second pint.

I doubt whether all NHS staff will be first in the queue. There are many admin staff, for example, who don't work anywhere near the hospitals and many others who work nowhere near the COVID wards which are usually in separate areas and even different buildings to the main hospital. Isolating COVID patients from the rest of the hospital (in red zones) is usually well done so it would make no sense for all NHS staff to receive priority over the over 80s. Of course those on the front line should receive absolute priority but, as for the rest, I'm doubtful whether they will qualify to receive the jab in the first wave.

Justmy opinion of course. Worth nothing.

Book another pasty and take a doggy bag. Pasty's all week for tea.


I see one brewery have turned out a beer called "Substantial Meal"
