So 0.0005% of the population for a disease that, in the young and healthy, has a virtually 0 death rate.
Much less scary in those terms, but shhhhh, don't tell the panic mongers - they'll have nothing to fret about.

My dad is in a high risk category (diabetes, kidney transplant, general health issues.) Staying at home for 6 months to ensure people like him can stay alive? Seems a pretty fair deal.

its the long term effects that concern, I’m young, well, I’m not “old”, but I have a heart condition, myocarditis could really fudge me up
the effects can be debilitating for months after infection, this is bad brick that we need to get on top of

Actual protesters around 50, partners, bemused passers by and general people not getting too close to the action (because of fear of catching covid ironically) brings the number up to a couple of hundred. Melbourne is a city of 5m people. Hence my thought that those protests were largely insignificant.
That bogan woman (bogan is an Australian term for chav) was giving it all mouth about her human rights being restricted because she couldn’t go to McDonalds with her friends for lunch, so she decided to organise a protest using Facebook. An illegal protest given the current laws and ongoing pandemic. When confronted about breaking the law she became abusive, then repentant, then sobbed. Maybe she should have thought about her actions before organising an illegal protest when the rest of us are respecting the law and trying to overcome restrictions as quickly as possible. As for her being pregnant, if you stopped the world every time a bogan got pregnant there really wouldn’t much you could do to the woman from the age of 16 to 30. She should use birth control.

These clams aren't even Covidiots, they are the 'Sovereign Citizen' nut jobs using lock down as a device to publicize their wack job ideas.

So Vallance it turns out has shares in a Vaccine company?
No wonder they are pushing for the Vaccine being the only answer
He needs to go if its true, its a massive conflict of interest

A vaccine (or outstanding therapeutic treatments) is the only answer.

He’s nowhere near procurement operations, and calling GSK a vaccine company is like calling Tesco a cheese shop. GSK is impacted by pretty much every healthcare decision; it’s a behemoth. Which is why Whitty offloaded his shares when he took the job, but he couldn’t very well offload ones that were deferred.
gonads story. Actually, pretty much every story which hints snidely at corrupt procurement or flagrant conflicts of interest is gonads, at least as far as Whitehall goes - local authorities are shonkier sometimes. Procurement tends to be inept or unimaginative rather than self-serving. Commercial lobbying, jobs for the boys and revolving doors are much more nuanced issues.

Also, is there anyone with a share portfolio that doesn't have an interest in GSK?

Or, indeed, anyone at HMT.

Hopefully at least one of the vaccines that our government has put in advanced orders for proves effective by next spring...
This monoclonal antibody therapy sounds promising too...
Such personal issues are, obviously, of huge importance to you.
Please don't take it personally when I say they're irrelevant to public health decisions.

NOTW level sensationalism.
You should have the right to isolate if you feel it's needed.
Just as the rest of us should have the right to our freedom.

So there is nothing wrong with someone in a key advisory role in line to benefit from the advice he is giving?
