I can almost taste that sweet sweet vaccine failure.
I can almost taste that sweet sweet vaccine failure.
I believe the other ones (Moderna, maybe Pfizer?) have better results.
Almost certainly not. It is very likely to protect against severe disease, and in around six months they will have tweaked it (and the other vaccines) to deal with the effects of the mutation.Originally Posted by Yevrah
Within six months the broom will be dead and I'll be rocking back and forth in a chair, tears falling over her corpse.
We'll be reasonably out by April. Some outdoor things mid-March. Pubs probably May. Clubs June 2093. The lefties will shed salt tears about it - 'too early!' they will cry, ignoring the fact that at no stage so far have we unlocked too early - but thankfully we are currently governed by a party who won't allow permanent lockdown.
Independent Sage put something out earlier saying we should lock down until one case in a million. I did some fag packet workings out on that and it would be first week of August, assuming current decline continued at the same pace. They are dangerous lunatics.

I'm not going to count any chickens til they're vaxxed.
Vaccination won't have a huge effect on when we come out of this lockdown. It will, hopefully, have a huge effect on us not going into another one.
One case in a million.
Do they think it's fucking airborne Ebola?
Has the NHS collapsed yet?
Not slept a wink.
At around 4 I had serious chills which lasted for around an hour but felt like a lot more. Also feel a touch of nausea.
Are you still grotesquely unfit.
I am however they are listed as very common side effects of the vaccine.
You'd like that wouldn't you?
I know he was damaged goods long before this shit, but Magic has been more broken by Covid than most.
I have been.
This is just the effect of having stayed up to watch the very much unsuperb owl.
I bet @Giggles corndogs have had a similar effect.

I've never seen the appeal of them.I bet @Giggles corndogs have had a similar effect.
I've never tried them but I just can't forsee a world where they aren't terrible and knowing Giggs is a decent cook he has ne excuse for putting himself through such a thing.
147 cases of the Sith Afrikin strain confirmed over here now. All thanks to those dirty soap dodgers in Surrey.
Won't matter if the vaccines prevent severe disease.
The media reporting today is the worst yet, borderline criminal - they are absolutely gagging for a disaster that just isn't there.
It would be worth everything completely failing just to see what new reasons could be found for not closing the borders.
*literally everyone over sixty-five dies within two months*
'Many care workers travel from overseas...'
I'm a bit undecided on the borders issue, but it has been good to see the people who have been screaming about freedom of movement for the last five years now pivot to 'Keep them all out!' and presumably thinking the same about refugees, families of recent immigrants, etc.
There's something very sinister about, at policy level, reducing human beings to 'potential carriers of disease'.
I can see the argument as to the point of it, but the people saying it's too difficult and/or restrictive like we're having the discussion in last February are everything wrong with the country. We're testing half the country and vaccinating the other half. I'm sure we could have rustled up some sort of room service system with a month to get it going.
Yes, we certainly could do it. I'm just not convinced that we should.
800k tests a day is a hell of a resource allocation, and soon probably won't be a useful one.
It absolutely does matter, we had an early cluster of cases down Sussex way, we have a Kent Strain, a Surrey caused South African Strain and London caused 1st nation wide lockdown. Shit all over the shoes of the Home Counties, but Essex stands firm.
Our recent originating cluster confirmed as THE KENT VARIANT, and hence it has spread like wildfire. Things seem to be coming uder control now but still probably a few weeks away from unlockdowning.
Spent £150 on tickets for a festival on 10 July. Quinton Fortune and Benni McCarthy are gonna join their friend Phil Masinga if I can't be in a warehouse with thousands of others.
In hindsight, it probably was a bit too cocky to host a dance festival during a global pandemic.
Field Day? Feels a bit early to have festivals back in July, but Drumsheds would be glorious this summer.
Emails gone out asking for [paid] volunteers to go door to door in Southport to give out testing kits. Er, no.
I'm a twit
Ya. I can't see it happening but they're more than welcome to hold on to my cash for a few months and let me dream the dream. If they attempt to do some socially distanced bollocks I'll bomb the gaff.
They should be banned forthwith.
Don't think that was what caused it though, probably didn't help in terms of the spread. I've not really had my ear to the ground on the rumour front, but focus a while ago seemed to be on a pub, and the possibility that some off-island hauliers went for a pint whilst they were supposed to be isolating in their cabs (I guess) before going back to the UK, which seemed mental on a number of levels.
I was sat in my car in the library car park, enjoying a quite marvellous vegetarian sushi lunch (I know), when there was a tap-tap-tapping at my window and some mouldy crone wanted to know where the vaccination centre was. Still sat in my car, I said 'It's over there,' pointing at it. She said 'Where?' I said 'There.' She said 'Where?' and so on until eventually she spotted it, the lone brick building in a sea of empty air. Then she grabbed my wrist, through the open car window, and said 'Thank you, love, I'm so nervous', before walking off, shaking like a leaf.
If I contract covid from her I'm going to launch legal action against the entire British working class.
RIP Jimmy.
Can you pass on The Computer to someone?
Absolutely not. When I die, golf insight dies with me.
Fuck that old lady.
I can't see how that would help.

Giggles' dreams coming true.
Is preserving the Good Friday Agreement an essential reason for travel?

The tweet sent shortly after war hero's death last Tuesday read: 'The only good Brit soldier is a deed one, burn auld fella, buuuuurn"
What's the crime there for fuck sake?
Saw this earlier. It's obviously in bad taste and you would have to be an absolute helmet to post it but I can't see how that is a crime?
Unless they're trying to frame it as incitement to murder (which would be lol) I can't understand that at all. Or is the mourning of "heroes" mandatory?
You could flimsily count it as an anti-terror thing. Probably.
Charged "under communication offences" is a bit vague. Still, they'll have to guillotine him, just to be on the safe side.
No, we need a public apology first. Like the one Cummings never gave. On the South Africa stuff, we're lucky this hit during a proper-ish lockdown.
That's an outrageous abuse of power. Free Waffles.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla...-west-55986646

It’s my last day of isolation tomorrow. My girlfriend tested positive at the weekend, apparently because she got symptoms and a positive during my isolation I don’t have to extend mine, which seems ridiculous to me.
Like I’m living with someone who is very much poorly with Covid but I’m fine to go into work.

OH MY GOD the Kent Variant has been confirmed in Manchester! Testing has had to be stepped up! Ahhhhhh!
Except... hadn't they already confirmed low levels of the variant up and down the country when they first confirmed the existence of the thing? So, nothing to see here then? Right.
This variant panic is a load of absolute gubbins. It means nothing as long as the vaccines prevent severe disease, which they do. Once that has been done, the risk to the public will be so low that if there are variants which escape the vaccines (but which the vaccines still prevent severe disease in) then the vaccines can just be tweaked and rolled out as boosters to the elderly, much like we do with the flu jabs.
I've been trying to work out why the media are so keen to run with these scare stories rather than do any kind of background reading or basic analysis - I think they are so trained to just bang stories out there / look for any kind of 'scoop' that they don't know how to operate any differently when the public interest demands it. These bollocks stories about the efficacy of the AZ vaccine will be so damaging to takeup.
