I guess we will be breaking the rules because we are headed up to borough market tomorrow. The wife loves it there as do I.
Dont really get the issue with travel if your wearing a mask.

Watching bbc southern news at the moment. I do feel a bit sorry for them and I'm not a fan of the bbc usually.
They dont have a clue either Haha.
Government are so poor and I do blame boris. Some of the other tory mp's seem like they would do a better job.

Must be a huge percentage living in cities like Brussels or Antwerp. I can't imagine they did much different to other surrounding countries

Yet London and a lot of the South East are under Tier 2. Interesting the Covid Research Group (do they ever do any research these Tories?) are pushing for analysis to be published.
I have no problems opening up for Xmas mixing but surely it should be based on infection rates. Can't just be a free for all. If rates are rising and you're telling everyone to get together... can't help but feel late Jan/Feb will be an absolute brick show of death rate.

IIRC Holland had a very different approach to Belgium back in March April etc...much closer to the Swedish approach.

really worrying numbers coming out on the AstraZeneca/Oxford trial if anyone read the reports.
Basically, the 'half' dose was never meant to be halved, it was simply a rooster up.
And on top of that, only a tiny proportion of numbers were given that, compared to full two doses, and that by chance improved the numbers. But was not like a 50/50 split, simply a few number of cases.
Sounds like they really fudged the numbers, which is worrying because it will simply exacerbate the weird anti-vaxxers out there

You do know India gets absolutely freezing in large parts of it right?
It doesn't sound good at all, apparently in the half dose trial no one over 55 was involved either.
On the flipside they tested everyone weekly so captured asymptomatic cases but the other 2 vaccines only tested those with symptons.

Looks like it might turn out a very informative rooster up, and we haven't been able to say that very often.

yes and no, it may increase efficacy which is brilliant but means the testing needs to be redone

Hopefully the dosing error ends up proving to be a positive but sounds like more analysis needs top be done.

I frankly think it is beyond extraordinary that we have several potential vaccines so quickly. Really something. There are going to be some bumps in the road, that much is for sure, but overall, great to see how close they're getting. Just test effectiveness and prove it by May so as we can watch Hugo and Harry lift the Prem!!!

As Ian Hislop said on Have I Got News For You tonight, we have forgotten how to react to good news. Even if the Oxford vaccine is 70% efficient in the final analysis, that is still a massive win.
Given that research was pretty close on a SARS vaccine before it all but disappeared, it's not quite the miracle it seems. Bloody impressive work still, but much of the work had already been done.
If you think back to the spring, a number of researchers were making statements then that they thought it was behaving similarly to SARS and that a vaccine for one would likely work for both.

A fair point, and as I pressed "post reply"
I thought of the potential SARS research...still, given the time frames with these things, a hefty result looks on the cards.

so SARS mutated itself out right? Assume no chance of COVID doing the same? Well, obvs SOME chance but seems unlikely?

There's always a chance. It's hard to predict but we can hope it just f*cks off next year.
