Todd_is_God 2,114 Report post Posted October 29, 2020 "Don't know why" every time there is a suggestion that an increase in immunity levels within a community may be responsible for a slowing of spread, the scientists do absolutely everything to avoid even suggesting it. Assuming it's not just another example of Leitch not being able to hold his water and toe the party line when not at the podium, him at leasr recognising it may be playing a part seems like an important shift. He can't genuinely believe people are better at social distancing than in March and April, so my instinct is that's there as a sort of get out. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vikingTON 15,648 Report post Posted October 29, 2020 The idea that social distancing has been markedly more stringent in Inverclyde compared to anywhere else in the Central Belt because it was hit badly in March is utterly laughable. That's up there with Leitch's 'only east Asians have the cultural grounds with which to wear masks in a pandemic', which was responsible for turbo-charging the outbreak during the spring. The man is a clown and shouldn't be left unsupervised with a box of crayons never mind the nation's pandemic response. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billy Jean King 1,627 Report post Posted October 29, 2020 VACCINE UPDATE:Had a message overnight from my guy over in Ireland who’s plugged in on all the vaccine stuff. Here’s what he told me:- Pfizer expect to be able to vaccinate all healthcare workers and vulnerable people in the USA by end of January and the rest of the population by the summer.- Now looking like the interim analysis on Oxford/AZ does NOT show enough data for emergency approval to be granted imminently. Sorry.- Moderna and Oxford both likely to be better vaccines than Pfizer as they have potential to reduce transmission but most likely just reduce severe disease. The Pfizer vaccine is ahead in the race but is only likely to prevent serious disease, will NOT stop transmission and if we still continue mass testing will still see thousands upon thousands of cases per day, but should help prevent hospitalisations and deaths. - Johnson & Johnson, Novavax and GSK/Sanofi are not in human trials yet but on their initial trials in hamsters, they’re showing even stronger immune responses than the three that are close to approval. Could well be that these vaccines end up being the longer term players because they will help reduce transmission, not just disease.Hamsters, did they kill all their monkeys off first ? Concerning they are in to hamsters ! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bit unfair on innocent hamsters IMO, trials should be done on bats seeing as they are the arseholes that started all this. Pangolins as well just to be sure. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antibody surveys have suggested that around 20% of the population of Stockholm have been infected so about the same as London and New York. Given that you need around 70% of the population to be infected to achieve herd immunity it's another example of why the fawning over Sweden is misplaced. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0141076820945282 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
