I don’t dispute the timescale. It’s the wording that “they have a vacc already”. They may well have, I’d guess there’s lots of potential vaccs, but they won’t know if it’ll work until it goes into animals. They could have carried out some in-vitro testing but will only get accurate data after in-vivo testing. Once it is known to work as a vacc then some degree of safety tests will have to be carried out before human trials commence.

Dyson is also trying to formulate a cure...

Yes this is basically what they said !
Let's hope they do hit the timescale they said .
It's still another full winter of this !
 
Virus Mutation still possible with Covid19.

No concrete guarantees of immunity yet.

Wash your hands...


Allams OUT

Commonly quoted timespan is 10 weeks for this **** to play out, many folk are already working from home and KCOM expected to feel the strain.

Info overload and info fatigue are obscuring the pathway through this ****storm.

Be lucky everyone.

****, I never thought. All sporting and other events getting cancelled. Ok, watch footie on the box. No, it's all cancelled. Oh well, it's a chance to watch different sports from all over the world, almost back to the 80's when We weren't saturated with sports channels and so would watch anything competitive. There's no sport going on around the world. Still, we've got the Internet......everyone in the world is going to be on the Internet! It must experience the biggest capacity ever. Hope we don't break it. Nor kcom.
 
Sir Patrick Vallance - There is little chance of a usable vaccine being developed this year. Our approach reflects the need to do all we can to stop our NHS getting overwhelmed in the absence of a vaccine.

But East Hull and rugby league is immune as HKR entertain Leigh Miners Welfare on Sunday in the Challenge Cup 5th Rd, the 'big boys' enter in the 6th round, commonly known as the quarter finals.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - CORONAVIRUS
Last evening dining out with friends, one of their uncles, who's graduated with a master's degree and who worked in Shenzhen Hospital (Guangdong Province, China) sent him ....
3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees. It hates the Sun.

SPREAD THE WORD - PLEASE SHARE.

I've solved it! I'm gonna save the world. let's just ramp up the central heating. It'll be uncomfortable, but better than this.
So why is it spreading around Middle East, Aussie, India etc?

Got our blue wheelie bin emptied this morning ( East Riding) usually its a team of six, today it was a team of erm, one. The bloke was driving the truck and stopping to empty the bins himself then getting back in the truck and driving on to the next bins. Job still got done.

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned but if they suspended this season ‘til Aug / September / Oct then started a new season in 2021 January - Oct. Keeping it the same for the following season would, possibly, work in enabling the WC in Qatar?

Decent suggestion
