    Did you see the part of my post about adjusting our lives? It wasn’t that long a post, but perhaps you missed it

    China is at an advanced stage developing a vaccine

    Well you know what you can do with it lads

    Test it, confirm safety and efficacy and distribute it?

    You suggest if China develop a viable vaccine we wouldn't use it?

    The vaccine will come from America. The Us government are working with pharma and also funding research. You don't have to take it if it does arrive because dur Trump bad and all. Someone else will gladly take your place

    Dont get too worried, while individual mutations will be random, selection pressure will drive towards lower severity over time

    I see the Danes starting to reopen schools and creches from today with the Italians also starting to lift the lockdown.

    I think they are facing the reality that we will have to learn to manage Covid 19 and live with it.

    We need to start planning for this asap. In no way should this be extended past the 5th of May. It should have even gone that far.


    What sort of model do you want us to follow? What we're doing or what Sweden is doing?

    Even the main man in Sweden says it will be a long, long time before we can judge what overall approach was correct. As Mike Ryan keeps saying do it fast.

    Anyone taking a first vaccine, rushed out in an emergency, with the government and not the manufacturer indemnifying is for the birds.

    New Russian system looks to be a mess
    Crowds and long lines have formed in the Moscow metro today as the city’s new electronic permission system may have backfired by trapping thousands of people at bottlenecks on public transport.

    She is a good leader. Not afraid to rock the boat or make difficult decisions.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Yes, those notoriously nice guys J&J. How much did they pay out for knowingly distributing a carcinogen?

    Just refuse the vaccine when it comes. Nobody will mind.
    From the 2.2 Trillion bailout package 27 billion has been earmarked for "bolstering life-saving capabilities, including developing vaccines and the development, purchase, and distribution of critical supplies”.
    27 billion from the Us alone.
    Canada, Germany and Norway have pledged 690m between them.
    The Us has also handed J+J half a billion dollars to research a vaccine.

    As I said take your name off the list if you choose because Trump.

    I am a firm advocate of a controlled easing of lockdown and restarting of normal economic activity over time, however if you cant get the basic facts of your argument correct you leave yourself wide open to have any valid point you make dismissed. Whatever happens, it wont be near great depression . For one we have food security. In addition, the 1930's served as a great template in recovery from major shocks - New Deal in US vs retreat to nationalism in Germany - which worked best?

    That's one way of looking at it, but then countries like the UK who were going to go down the herd immunity route did a very quick turnaround (I'm assuming based on medical advice). Hindsight is of course everything, but there are also moral questions that might apply.



    Really, though I was trying to highlight that the poster doesn't really seem to know what s/he wants.

    If the vaccine is tested according to proper medical regulations, then why would anyone (bar the anti-vaccers) refuse?

    The number of deaths from the coronavirus in Spain in 24 hours fell again on Wednesday to 523, from 567. Looks like they might have hit peak.
