    Nah, Vietnam is bottom of the pile for vaccines, and foreigners are bottom of that pile. I suspect towards the end of the year, unless any of the local vaccines go into production anytime soon.

    That is shit. I wonder how many Australian born Vietnamese will duck back for it?

    There must be a fair few of them?

    New Zealand bought enough for the Pacific we should be trying to help our South East Asian neighbours.

    I think once/if Vietnam ends mandatory quarantine, I think a lot of folk will do exactly that.

    Media have gone miles over the top on this variant. They seem to have entered a covid-industrial complex whereby anything that doesn't include the word 'worrying' or 'concerning' isn't a story.

    It's so fucking dumb. And if variants are actually a genuine concern that could lead to more lockdowns then we need to close the borders now, not piss about with an ever changing and insufficient 'red list'.

    We can't have another lockdown, remember. Or does that only apply to stop me going to the pub?

    I think it's more down to this being the only story they've been able to report on for a solid year. It's the big failure of 24 hour news networks. So there's all these "Human interest" stories or opinion pieces about, "What this might mean.

    There's no more BLM protests to cover, no explosions in Tripoli. Just this. And they've always dealt in extremes. Moderation is not news.

    As far as I'm aware the Brazilian one, MIGHT be able to get around the vaccine and cause a mild infection, right?

    If so... then, well... so?

    Is the 30% increase in death cited here the same as the 'extra 3 in a thousand' shit that came out of that shambolic press conference?

    For the UK variant there is some research suggesting it may be associated with a 30% higher risk of death. The evidence is not strong and the data is still uncertain though.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55659820

    If it is I might actually have to complain.

    Yes, it is that. 10 in 1,000 to 13 in 1,000 death risk in a man in his 60s, I believe it was.

    You can see why they expressed it that way and not 1% to 1.3%.

    I definitely felt slaying powers were impacted between Feb and March due to the growing anxiety so I agree with Taz ref there being 4 months between the two.

    16 months is actually an underestimate of how long the last year has been if anything.

    The media and seemingly some scientific focus of where this thing spreads has been fucked all along. Care homes, hospitals, idiots seeing gran in her house has largely been ignored, in favour of lambasting pubs, restaurants and people doing heinous things outdoors.

    RL never having had a test has completely fucked my brain. If that's common place then I have no idea why we've bothered "protecting our NHS" for the last 12 months.

    Edit: Sorry, 16 months.

    I'm really sick of eggs on the TV telling us that standing in a park is akin to licking all the old dears in the olds folks home after visiting Brazil for the Juninho-variant. Fuck off with the nonsense.

    There was a talking head on Schofield and Willoughby's breakfast show this morning saying "the data is amazing. Everything is plummeting. We've cracked it and I can't see why we're not going back to the old normal from tomorrow", and for the first time in forever she wasn't spoken to like she was a dangerous lunatic.

    The tide is changing.

    They really shouldn't have.

    The goal was to stop the NHS from collapsing, which was a partial success and to vaccinate the vulnerable so that we don't risk overwhelming them again.

    Job done. New cases are fuck all. Let's get on with it. Anyone moaning is still living in December.

    They've somehow managed to back themselves into a corner whereby they desperately need either cases to skyrocket and/or a deadly vaccine-escaping variant to appear.

    I see they've moved from 3 more months to 1 more week.

    Yep. We're jabbing ( ... was a thing of the past) at a much faster rate than the virus has ever reproduced. By sheer numbers, this should be it.

    I’d agree with Jimmy in that we’re getting very close to the point where anyone getting vaccinated is a good thing. The vast majority of the vulnerable cohort have been done.

    There were a couple of weeks before the vaccine started where we could pick up a few months supply of lateral flow tests but then the vaccine took over the place they were giving them out from and as far as I'm aware (bearing in mind I'm a useless retard) they never started giving them out again.

    I've never needed a proper test as I've never had symptoms.

    It just baffles me that regular testing hasn't been in place for the NHS since the start. I'd have expected weekly tests at a minimum.

    I mean, how is @Giggles needed to take a test so he can deliver parcels but a doctor isn't? (I am aware different country)
