Re: Coronavirus update

I hate to break this to you, but I don't have a preferred way for my loved ones to pass. I'd prefer they didn't pass at all. But as I know through painful experience, pass they will.

This is a bit dark gents

Re: Coronavirus update

china is back to normal - The US and Europe are not - Here's how it succeeded

Basically just testing with tempo & lock downs done strictly

So China can get back to normal without the need for a vaccine so it seems . Why can't the rest of the world ?

Citizens in most other countries wouldn't have put up with the aggressive way that China dealt with it.

how about Hong Kong, or Korea or Vietnam?

I'm not sure that those three countries were as aggressive with their citizens as China.

Either way, I doubt that approach would have worked in the US or Europe.

Re: Coronavirus update

5 million Moderna vaccines ordered by the UK Government.

Interestingly, the Oxford vaccine has done almost 6 months of testing apparently, compared to the recent ones announced that have only managed three. Expect some bigger news from this one which has been producing it behind the scenes for longer. Surely this one, right in our door step is the one we will get first?

I don't think proximity of the company developing it would make much difference would it?

I hope the AZ/Oxford one is successful because the UK gov has purchased 100m doses of it. 30m of the Pfizer one, which is likely to be the first approved for us in UK, and 5m of the Moderna vaccine which we won't get until Spring 2021

I think the pharmaceutical industry has done a fantastic job getting vaccines ready in such quick time. Just 12 months ago no one had heard of Covid-19

Agreed.

I think we've got a lot more of this one ordered so it will be a bigger deal for us.

you can definitely see an effect of the second lockdown now, especially if you assume that without it the increase would have continued unabated or possibly accelerated.
the question is how low will it go before the effect of the lockdown ends and how quickly will it shoot back up again.
I can't see it dropping as low as it did over the summer, but hopefully it doesn't re-climb as rapidly

And surely getting something from the USA or a lab in Oxford, the latter would be more straightforward? Sure I heard the Oxford one doesn’t have to be stored at super low temps either
