Todd_is_God Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It would be typical of the WM government that, should a vaccine be available next month, they would roll it out in the area perhaps least needing of it, rather than their Tier 3 areas. Unless, of course, they want to 'prove' how effective it is by using it first in areas where deaths and serious cases are already relatively low. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Think it's more likely that hospital staff have volunteered to be part of the phase 3 trials than it getting rolled out on Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 1 hour ago, Michael W said: Appreciate we're only really about seven months into all this, but there are only a handful of reported cases where people have been reinfected with the virus. This included a prominent case in Hong Kong, where it turned out that the person concerned had contracted two different strains of it. No point worrying about it until we start seeing more regular reports of reinfection. There's enough to worry about currently as it stands without adding to it. You can never have too many things to worry about... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any roll out is going to be phased anyway, but are they really going to expand phase three to that level, thousands of hospital staff will get placebo and a single illness can stop it in its tracks at this stage? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a significant period they were basically required to be hermits. I’m not sure on the figures but I’d bet that also disproportionately affected young people as well. Can raise my hand to this one. The thought of doing it again through the winter is pretty miserable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Is it today we find out what levels (tiers?) we're being punted into or are they just debating it in parliament? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Far from only testing symptomatic people, around ⅔ of people recently tested had no symptoms. Why are we testing so many asymptomatic people with a test that is most useful 2 days following the onset of symptoms?

Ah ok. I'm in the camp of thinking, this vaccine is approved for public use before the year end. My opinion is that the caginess in saying so is because announce vaccines = mega pressure to chuck restrictions and compliance with the ones in our control (household mixing) going down the shitter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be willing to go through another lockdown again(though it was/is brutal) if there was an endgame. If they said we have a vaccine ready and need the publics support to lockdown as we roll it out I would be quite happy to do it. These local lockdowns look pointless as people can freely move about and the tracking tracing and quarantine seems a bit hopeless so it's not really isolating the spreaders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely agree and have expressed concerns about this before. My concerns dont affect my opinion that this is going to be approved and rolled out. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
