Re: Coronavirus update

I think they have yes, although obviously not 400 million doses

30 million, first on list for delivery I believe

400 million would be a bit excessive. Will be interesting to see the results of the vaccine trials.

Thanks for the figure, it made it easier to find a story.

Is Johnson still handling this better than Drakeford?

Re: Coronavirus update

Isle of Man have removed most of their social distancing. No new cases there for 22 days. However, it is still residents only, and it is limiting outdoor gatherings to 30 people, and only 2 people allowed in a house house from another household.

Bit early to tell but as none were showing symptoms, it could maybe suggest that this virus has less serious effects. Granted I am not a biologist but maybe some people have got some immunity or the virus has taken a less serious form

I read elsewhere ( cannot find the link at the mo, its 1am and im tired ) that they think some of them people have had it before and have partial immunity

Interesting. If you can get it twice then would we be in limbo forever-ever?

The Vaccines Alliance have signed a deal to obtain 400 million doses of the vaccine that was developed by Oxford University and is currently being tested.

Does anyone know if the UK Government have secured any doses?

You’d think so as Oxford is in the Uk

Biggest market in all of Asia isn’t it? Think China needs permanent quarantine until it can control these new virus outbreaks

Re: Coronavirus update

I appreciate that it will be the last thing some people will want to look at, but if anyone is interested, there is an interactive map in this article which gives deaths up to the end of May from the virus by post code area;-

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/deaths-community-coronavirus-ons-stats-18408084

I was quite reassured when I looked up my area (Treherbert) because, when I last looked at the map in late April, Treherbert was among the very worst hit areas, now I would say that it's figure is a bit above average, but there are plenty of others that have suffered a lot more than we have up here - for example, Canton which I wouldn't have had down as a place which fits into the deprived description.

This is where things get a bit iffy for me.

I know 3 people from Canton (all regulars in the pub), who had “Coronavirus” put on their death certificates, but all 3 also had terminal cancer.

Yes Coronavirus advanced their deaths, but was it the sole cause ?????

Where do you draw the line? How would anyone even begin to work it out?

If covid had some sort of impact on quickening their death, I think it's fair enough to count them in the figures.
