Coronavirus outbreak

Pollard has just been on. Sounded happiest about the T cell response. 9000 had the Oxford vaccine so far.

Kate Bingham now saying middle of next year. But maybe this year. Her version of life returning to 'normal' being reported as Easter 2021.

Horton sounded the happiest of anyone. Results of phase 3 quoted as end of this year.

More commentary on length of living with the virus and how quickly things will get back to 'normal'. Clue, not by christmas.

Sadly I think that is true. Even though a vaccine will likely not last long and will require shots every year at least much like the flu shot, hopefully that will cut down the numbers of deaths seen. 615,000 dead worldwide in 8 months and it wasn't even everywhere for much of that.

Well that's a lie. What a surprise. IDS is unspeakably loathsome.

Indeed, even by the low standards of most right wing Tories, he is a particularly loathsome specimen.

When I heard him say that on a radio interview, in addition to the obvious repugnance at the comparison used, it also crossed my little mind that if I were to be injured, or worse, out on my bike, as far as my limited medical knowledge goes, this would not mean I could well "transfer" those injuries (or worse) to friends and family, or, indeed, anyone else within two metres of me. What a complete kn**head.

Coronavirus Cases:
15,008,648
view by country
Deaths:
616,516
Recovered:
9,013,391

Well, we did it. Worldometers says we have achieved 15 million cases (likely many more than that) and over 600,000 dead. The US has contributed over 4 million cases to those numbers and quickly approaching 145,000 dead. And with no end in sight.

I have to ask mr. drumpf: Are we winning yet?

6 million cases with reported deaths at 3,700, that's a v low death rate.

Some reports about localised CV19 outbreaks in Spain - really not worth travelling. also report about British woman testing positive in Lanzarote - 9 people now self isolating.

So that's her and nine other's holiday ruined - is it worth the stress ?

Age profile of population may be relevant.
Very small % population over 60.

It's not accurate.

In the UK and other countries estimates have been for every test confirmed case there are 7-27 other cases. ONS and other work for the UK suggests it's somewhere around 15.

As PK99 suggests some countries and even cities have very young populations. In terms of deaths, excess deaths in many countries and how it's recorded vary.

Age profile of population may be relevant.
Very small % population over 60.

But a very high % of Asians. Who are meant to be affected more seriously.
