Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

That Oxford Group keep on piping up about vaccines being nearly ready.

I find them about as plausible as Matt HanCOCK's game changing promises.

Been the lead story all week on my local bbc1 news they have.
Tonight's was the antibody test they think they have.
Should just keep quiet until they actually have something concrete.

Correct, the Chinese will just steal it anyway......

Interesting really, not seeing the trend most were predicting. All the noise about the protests being a breeding ground for Covid may be so far off the mark.

Over here it's looking that way too. Lots more crowds around less distancing going on but the number of new cases keeps decreasing every day.

Trump and Boris did all this deliberately to get the herd immunity going......

And how did they do that?

I’ve just seen a post on FB from a doctor who has been working on Covid wards declaring that if you oppose the protests then you are racist, and that he wholeheartedly supports them.

Interesting you can be a qualified Doctor and still a nobhead.

Its utterly bonkers - the murder happened in another country - you would think this happened on the streets of London the way the media and some on the left have carried on.

I havent a problem with people showing support and solidarity to those in America but do so safely via social media / peacefully not by packing like sardines during a global pandemic and allowing trouble causing fringes to hop on board and smash stuff up, attack people/horses and property.

I saw someone from the Labour Party on twitter earlier who was slating the govt/people on beaches last week cheerleading the protests.

If anyone claps the NHS yet supported those protests or any other form of large gathering without social distancing they are hypocrites imo.

I’ve heard they’ve also found a cure for baldness......

Thankfully, I dont need that vaccine.

A load of bluffers looking for funding.

When are the antibody tests being rolled out?

I'm sure they are already out.
Deffo privately.

Yeah, not like there has been any doctors with questionable viewpoints ever...

Very confident as scientists go, they are attempting to build on existing research and development they had been making on SARS.

Be interesting, hopefully they are successful.

Wouldn't they have to actuslly possess some degree of ability to do that?

That's not interesting, it's ridiculously obvious.

Apparently pigs can fly perfectly well too.

They just haven't been flapping their wings hard enough.

That just came out as a still 'tv or video' picture snapshot of a man on the BBC news, no idea who he was or what he was saying as no video link to it - hence no idea of any connection to my post.
