Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

I doubt Brexit will get in the way of this. Both UK and Eu Pharma have pushed for mutual recognition of medicines post Brexit, and it's a two way street with UK supplying many critical medicines to Europe. Pharmaceuticals are generally small ie don't take up much space, so transporting a lot of product isn't usually an issue. As a cold chain product the vaccine will probably be flown into UK.

Yes, they will probably just take the other motorways in Kent, rather than the one that has seven miles of stationary trucks.

Re: Coronavirus update

If you start a sentence with No Doubt , best end it with an exclamation rather than a question mark!

But it’s the current government that make me question everything, even though it’s a UK company and UK Gov cash.....

Re: Coronavirus update

Phew. One less thing to worry about. I guess that £100 m backstop to the backstop contract that Grant Shapps was promising will sort this out. The bit I struggled with was that if we are holding the EU hostage because we hold all the cards, when they inevitably fold, what bits of trade that we don't think as essential as life saving vaccines will we think are essential in a couple of months time?

Who said anything about holding EU hostage? Just as well the AZ/Oxford vaccine is coming from India, you can sleep easy.

Re: Coronavirus update

I notice that Cardiff has gone up by 1 today. A tiny amount but it is the first rise for many days.

Hope it doesn't carry on tomorrow.

My concern was that they didn't keep the area lockdowns where necessary after the circuit break,

Merthyr for example remained very high straight after ( don't know where it is now) and of course people from Merthyr were able to go outside the area for the first time in weeks. Many may well have come to work in Cardiff, so it wiil be interesting to see the Cardiff toll again in a couple of weeks

Those people from Merthyr would probably have been coming to Cardiff to work during the firebreak though. If you travelled to Merthyr today, your chances of catching Covid off a resident would be much higher than catching it from someone from Cardiff on a day trip wouldn't they, so I don't understand why the opposite should apply to me if I came to Cardiff as someone who, as far as I'm aware, does not have the virus currently I'd be far more likely to catch it off someone from Cardiff than someone who was down from the valleys for the day.

I don't get the thinking behind the line that if Cardiff sees an increase in cases in the coming weeks it must be down to people from other areas close by bringing the infection with them. The figures for the Rhondda are bad, but, generally, not as bad as Merthyr's, if cases start to rise again where I live in the coming weeks, I won't be putting that down to people from Merthyr coming here.

Seems that we are still making good progress with numbers going down.

What will determine how successful this was now will be how many more days we continue to see numbers drop, and then how quickly they start to rise again afterwards.

To my non-expert eye it looks as though mass testing could maybe be better performed elsewhere, places like Bridgend, Neath and Blaunau Gwent have more cases and more positive % tests, Merthyr already seems to be dropping

Have a feeling they will be on the rise again before Novembers out. Think we should have done a month not a fortnight to safeguard Chrimbo..

It will take "a number of years" for NHS waiting times in Wales to recover to pre-coronavirus levels, the organisation's boss has warned.
