  • Re: Coronavirus update

    I still can't get over how stark the divide in COVID-19 cases between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is. It's been like this for *months*. https://t.co/322lYGmpce


    this is a very stark difference - and northern Ireland is a fair bit lower rate than the rest of the UK.
    I wonder what the reason is ?

      Probably Brexit. May as well blame it, it gets the blame for everything else. But seriously, the assumption is that the Eire figures are accurate. They may not be, or may be counted differently.

            UK has 5 million doses of the Oxford vaccine available. India has 50 million doses of the Oxford vaccine available. They ordered and distributed them in anticipation of the vaccine being approved so they could hit the ground running.

              I think thats incorrect. I think the total stockpile Oxford has is 50m doses.

                They have 530,000 doses available with another 500,000 due next week. There isn't a stockpile

                  The world's biggest producer of vaccines, has already stockpiled about 50 million doses, enough for 25 million people. India will be the first priority for the delivery of the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine, Adar Poonawalla, chief executive officer, Serum Institute of India, earlier mentioned. "The COVID-19 vaccine will be distributed initially in India, then we will look at the COVAX countries which are mainly in Africa. Our priority is India & COVAX countries," Poonawalla said.

                    Yhose figures could possibly be quite correct for the serum that is being manufactured in India, but as the serum for UK is appparently being manufactured in Wrexham I'll try not to worry about it too much

                    Just more scaremongering.

                      Professor Sarah Gilbert stated on Sky News a few days ago that enough of the Oxford vaccine had been manufactured to meet UK demand but all that remained was for the vaccine to be put into vials and packaged for transport.

                        The vaccine being manufactured in India is for the Asian market. In Uk the product is manufactured in Oxford and is filled from bulk into amps/ vials/ syringes by Wockhart in Wrexham

                          Vial accusations perhaps.

                              Which is basically what I said. Why do you feel the need to antagonise people who are on your side?

                                Sorry if I upset you, certainly wasn’t intentional. All I did was add my bit to the ongoing debate
