Coronavirus

That is rough, this virus doesn't take any prisoners

 

might not be the virus tbf as she was old and frail but could be .It was more just she felt she had to move in as she was going there every day pre covid to be with him and feed him etc . She had already spent Christmas there and tbh i had expected that she would never come home . Wouldn't be surprised if Tom doesn't last much longer now .

 

Kind of sweet in one way and yet desperately sad

 

So she may have just died, ?

Either way i t's a sad story.

 

yesterday 6 new cases in Australia (all returned travellers in hotel Q) UK 23275, what is Boris not doing that we are doing???? WOW mandatory 14 day hotel q at own expense for overseas travellers, ffs the man must be a moron

 

A couple of difference lie in the density of living and it also being the summer in Australia. Obviously there are ways that Australia have performed better, but the climate will have a big affect.

 

The EU need to look at how they agree deals, the contract conditions were understandably pivoted in AZ’s favour, but the EU seem to be shooting from the hip with their agreements. Their biased interpretation of a document means absolutely nothing, and if they restrict a 3rd party contract illegally, especially if they haven’t taken instruction from their stakeholders, they’re gonna end up boiling in their own ****.

The problem is, EU needed to have contractual conditions in place for if production capacity was short, but they couldn’t, because a) There’s a pandemic and they’re desperate and agreed to whatever they were told would be best case and b) The contract they need to budge are a third party that the EU have done nothing but frustrate for the last 5 years, who were happy to **** the EU off clean.

No power, all ****ing mush, a disaster class in procurement since the pandemic began.

Tough. ****.

 

Interesting read about UK vaccine strategy

That is very enlightening, good early prep on all fronts.

 

Two people in Surrey identified with the South African variant, but with no links to SA.

 

As you've read it, any chance of giving me the shortened version, thanks.

 

Morning @aberdude ,just noticed you like my post. I've not seen you around for a while, hope all is good with you and your family.

@Tobes can we lift Aber's old thread ban if he behaves himself? Not sure how long he'll last mind.

 

Done mate, I’d forgotten about it tbh.

 

Thanks mate.

 

They done good .

 

That's good. I started to read it, then I scrolled down and saw the amount of words and thought fook that.

I'm still slightly cautious about it all, everything has been going too well with the vaccine. So I'm thinking, ok when's all this going to go wrong, sod's law.

 

could well as we don't really know yet how effective the AstraZeneva jab is and do any of them cut transmission rates* but while i've been highly unimpressed with the Govt , in the main , during this crisis on this i honestly think they have been very proactive and are to be congratulated on the rollout .

* One glimmer of hope is hospital aquired covid infections have halved in last 3 weeks and it is possible some of that is due to the fact so many frontline staff have recd the jab .

 

I will admit that when the government started ordering all these different vaccines, I thought wtf! It seemed to me they were taking a very expensive gamble. Thankfully the gamble paid off.

 

they did more than that apparently as they worked on ensuring a supply chain was formed here for things like vial bottle production .

 

the numbers got me
100m from A
40m from B
16m from C
60m from D
20m from E

how many people do they think live here
then you realise they assumed some would fail or be later than others .
