Re: The Covid19 thread
North Wales police are still turning away people from the Midlands, Greater Manchester and even London from our beauty spots. People seem to think its OK to travel without a thought for the situation at their destination. Wales is still in lockdown. Crowds of people is asking for trouble, inside or out - I think the effects of last year's Cheltenham festival is testament to that.
Again its the wrong tone being set by the government. They're all "we're nearly through this, we'll open the pubs soon" instead of "the numbers are still higher than the end of lockdown #1, no change until the infection rates get down to those levels" - There are still more people being infected daily than at the peak of the first wave..... |

Re: The Covid19 thread
OK, I've had the Astra Zeneca vaccine according the card. That meant a sore shoulder and a day feeling slightly mouldy. No worse than the old Typhoid vaccinations.
Now we just have to wait and see if the Brazil/P.1 variant can out evolve the vaccine. For those people who are interested, there's a nice article from the lancet describing the resurgence of Covid in Manaus. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/l...183-5/fulltext In an ideal world the second dose of vaccine would include the spike proteins from the E484K mutation, but I doubt any of the manufacturers will be able to get it approved and into production in the next 12 weeks. |

Re: The Covid19 thread
I'm not saying the government are slow to act...
...well, yes I am. They were questioned about responses to Brazilian mutation almost 7 weeks ago. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/boris-john...163723306.html

Re: The Covid19 thread
Of course, but not to anything like the extent UK media has, for obvious reasons. It has dominated our current affairs for 4 1/2 years, it hasn't dominated France's or Germany's etc. They have other problems of their own to deal with, stuff which is never mentioned in UK media, it's reciprocal.
