Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Anaphylaxis is pretty severe Dave so the key statistic is that 1 in 45,000 people are having a severe reaction compared with 1 in a million normally.

As I said, presumably the places administering the vaccine are set up to deal with these issues so shouldn't be anything to majorly worry about. But it needs to be looked into.

Anaphylaxis is not Anaphylaxis shock.

Anaphylaxis can be a rash or low pulse in most cases.

What I asked was how many get a severe reaction.

In any case, the vast majority of people likely to get a reaction know they react that way and they will be able to avoid the Pfizer vaccine.

Rumours of a potential full lockdown from boxing day with schools closing for at least a month. Its highly likely that three or more months of measures will be required at this stage. The circuit breaks and November lockdown had embarrassing results.

If you need to have a lockdown, the schools cannot stay open.

Again, if they’d done that from the start of last week (when Greenwich started to close schools) we’d be in a much better place, as well as causing far less disruption to families and the economy.

Obviously though that would require the government to not be this government.

Still not sure how they have zero covid, unless they have a vaccine. The only countries that have managed to have zero covid started with extremely low cases. Realistically it should have spread all over China by February even with Wuhan

It's not rocket science, half baked lockdowns don't work absolute mess.

Its no ones fault the thing has changed.

No its not as simple as that.
No one thing. Population behaviour, government incompetence both are heavily involved in the present situation.

Also viruses mutate all the time, the virus that has been prevalent here for months is a strain that was found mostly in Spain and france now it's mutated again we're suddenly the Lepers of the world

And we wonder why nobody likes us.

According to Grant Shapps, this Daily Mail headline means that each lorry stuck in Kent is driven by just under 58 drivers.

Lorry drivers WILL be able to travel to France from tomorrow morning

A deal has finally been struck with France after a ban on arrivals from the UK was imposed by President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday, which has since seen thousands of trucks stranded in Kent.

This is just the beginning. Civil disturbances will spread.

Strikes me as somewhat bizarre that its deemed perfectly reasonable to lock up kids and healthy young people so potentially ruining their lives, while locking up just 'the vulnerable' and so saving their lives and keeping hospitals empty is seen as a massive infringement on human rights.

The only intelligent approach to this virus is to find some way to live with it. Arou d the world we have lots of evidence that lockdowns dont work unless they are made 100% strict and are implemented forever.

Can't keep having these half baked lockdowns continuously, either lock everything down tight and beat it which should have been done at the start or dare I say it, just get on with life as normal.

Understand people will have a different opinion but how long do we basically live in a state of limbo.

with the incompetence and outright fibs of the kind we’ve seen from the government over this, probably

It is. What you're confusing is the difference between anaphylaxis and an allergic reaction.

NHS:
Anaphylaxis needs to be treated in hospital at soon as possible. Use an adrenaline injector if the person has one and call 999 for an ambulance.
