Re: The Covid19 thread
Seeing in the news that the June 21st full lifting of restrictions in in jeopardy because of a new variant. I thought this whole vaccination programme was supposed to be the key to ending all of this.

Re: The Covid19 thread
The Indian covid variant B.1.617.2 "may" have the ability to evade the vaccine or make it less effective. There were 520 cases in the UK two days ago. Perhaps announcing a block of visitors from suspected countries shouldn't be announced a week ahead of the ban, just a thought.

Re: The Covid19 thread
It's the same situation with the annual flu jab. There's always a number of strains doing the rounds and the medics have to choose which version to base the vaccine on to roll out to the public. Hence the the flu jab may not stop you getting the flu if you're unlucky enough to get one of the rarer strains.

Re: The Covid19 thread
the problems is that the cases arent that low.. they've just plateaued at 2k per day. in context that would be the levels in September after the eat out to help out and you can see what happened shortly after whe all opened up and went back to school.
Seeing that the number of new cases are flat I assume the r number is 1 now. The only difference is the number of people dying from it are a lot lower but not a given for the new variant.

Re: The Covid19 thread
Claim on news today that 21,000 people were allowed into this country from India after the government was aware of the threat of the India variant !

Re: The Covid19 thread
It's like they want the pandemic to drag on. We were so close to having this all under control.

They've proved the whole way along they're inept at protecting the British public by refusing to close the borders. The kick back they will see from this, is it is a variant they willingly/knowingly let in. |
