I've got a mate who does triathlons - he's stopped going out on his in case he comes off it. But the wind is going to blow all the viral particles all over the shop so I'd bet its almost next to nothing. which reminds me - another conspiracy crank reckons the virus lives in the jet stream, so even if we lockdown, it will fall out of the sky and you'll breath it in when you're out walking your dog (or cat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue we are going to have is that realistically we need all the world to get vaccinated, if we don't the mutations are going to rumble on in poor countries, so worldwide we arent going to get rid of it for a while, Van tam thinks never, but some others think it's possible - it doesnt mutate as mucg as flu virus does, so you may only need a shot every few years if this happens, and tweaking the existig vaccine is much faster - most of the ingredients are usually exactly the same as the original so creating it, testing and getting it authorised is a lot quicker. Mr Grey was wondering why more explaining isnt done at the briefings- I think you've illustrated the point. Difficult to do so without potentially creating a miss understanding somewhere, that Ani showed. Overall, as you will know, the quicker the population is vaccinated, the less time the virus has to mutate. Assuming onward transmission is also dramatically reduced.

Ideally for here If we are going to hit the targets and more, i dont think itll be due to Pfizer If AZ can outstrip our demand, then imo we need to increase demand If they cant keep up, imo, we have a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 14, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2021 A couple of days ago Hancock told one of the select committees that there was around 20m doses available in total. Wasn't exactly listening intently, so I'm glad the paper has confirmed it. Within the cohorts, I would presume there is a slight bias towards areas with higher rates, though this might not be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're saying about concentrating on covid, but flu is still a thing folk could do without. You won't qualify for your covid jab yet, so just take your flu one soon as. It may be that chemists will do the flu jabs, as not all will be used for covid. Where are you going for yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure someone is planning for beyond Mid-Feb, but let's get there, with a view on transmitaility and other science stuff and then take a fresh guard.

Yeah - the data coming out from Israel looks like the pfizer one is definately reducing onward transmision - and reading between the lines, I think all the vaccine producing companies are almost certain that all he vaccines will prevent onward transmission to a large extent, they just dont have the data to prove it because it's nigh on impossible to prove conclusively, and so they won't publish it The fact is, if the virus stops someone "developing" covid, they aren't going to be expelling anywhere near the amount of viral particles (if any at all) into the air as someone with full blown covid, but they are more likely to be out and about, and measuring the amount of viral particles someone expells is difficult to say the least, but I'm 99% sure we will see correlation of the spread decreasing, especially in the older populations, very soon, everywhere that the vaccine is being rolled out extensively.
