Re: The Covid19 thread
I had my AZ just over 3 weeks ago. No real side effects to speak of except a little bit of sore muscle around my knee joints but that may not be related.
My 10 penn'th.

Re: The Covid19 thread
Any bets that the EU won't c**k up the whole vaccination programme in the UK and those of us who have had the first dose won't now get the second dose in the required time !

However, the key lies in an earlier agreement that AstraZeneca made back in May with the U.K., which was a binding deal establishing “the development of a dedicated supply chain for the U.K.,” an AstraZeneca spokesperson said. One official close to the U.K. contract said the agreement began as an email in April from the U.K. government saying it would provide £65 million to help the University of Oxford execute its production plan. It later evolved into a fully-fledged contract between the government and the British-Swedish company, which also might explain why it took until August for the contract to be signed. Most important, however, is that it meant that the British government was “effectively a major shareholder” in the jab’s development as early as April. After Oxford and AstraZeneca agreed to team up at the end of April, for example, the British government filled seats on Oxford-AstraZeneca joint liaison committees. 'end of QUOTE Sounds to me like the EU have made a pig's ear of it and they are now trying to change the rules. ps apparently Italian police have seized a consignment of AZ vaccines they thought was destined for Mexico and Canada when it was actually going to EU countries. What right have they to do that anyway wherever it was going ?! pps and why are they now referring to the 'UK variant' of the virus, as if Britain is responsible for it. I thought it came from China!

Re: The Covid19 thread
Am I jumping the gun ? I had it in my mind that I could start riding again tomorrow without fear of being fined or whatever but now I am not sure about 'stay at home' or ' essential travel only' still being applicable !!!

Re: The Covid19 thread
'Changes on 29 March
Social contact The evidence shows that it is safer for people to meet outdoors rather than indoors. And this is why from 29 March, when most schools start to break up for the Easter holidays, outdoor gatherings (including in private gardens) of either 6 people (the Rule of 6) or 2 households will also be allowed, making it easier for friends and families to meet outside. Business and activities Outdoor sports facilities such as tennis and basketball courts, and open-air swimming pools, will also be allowed to reopen, and people will be able to take part in formally organised outdoor sports. Travel The ‘stay at home’ rule will end on 29 March but many restrictions will remain in place. People should continue to work from home where they can and minimise the number of journeys they make where possible, avoiding travel at the busiest times and routes. Travel abroad will continue to be prohibited, other than for a small number of permitted reasons. Holidays abroad will not be allowed, given it will remain important to manage the risk of imported variants and protect the vaccination programme. The government has launched a new taskforce to review global travel which will report on 12 April.' |

The argument was that AZ signed the contract with the EU including two critical clauses, as described in https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-56486733 I have read the EU/AZ contract and these items are stated categorically, and AZ signed up to them. Viz. "They say the EU-AstraZeneca contract promised: to ensure vaccine deliveries to the EU using production facilities in both the EU and UK an assurance from AstraZeneca that it had no other contracts which could get in the way of it fulfilling its commitments to the EU" I guess the variants are referred to by country of origin for simplicity, UK/South Africa/Brazil. They have scientific references for precision. I have not seen or heard any discussion regarding the coincidence that the 3 variants which appear to be of concern are the UK/SA/Brazil and AZ carried out their trials in UK/SA/Brazil. Pure coincidence I am sure. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/l...661-1/fulltext
