There probably isnt an obvious way of distinguishing, which probably suits you just perfect. The gnats piss ain't doing jack... Just the lovely sunshine.

There will be one way.
Compare last year to this year in speed of cases dropping.
Issue is your likely not comparing from the same base.
 
He repeated the age group results of the trials and made a judgment call for his population based on known evidence.

Would that we had a leader who was dictated to by the science.

No he didn't - he went off a completely incorrect 6% efficacy report in Handselsblat that completely disproven.
 
Serious question, just flicked over to CNN news, one of my favourite channels due to the election and utter disdain for Trump :). Are America not using the Astra Zeneca vaccine ? As the FDA have now passed the Johnson&Johnson single dose vaccine and that makes 3 vaccines, Pfizer, Moderna and J&J, no mention of the Astra vaccine ?

It’s America, they are American companies, AZ is U.K./Sweden. Germany have gone with Pfizer because its a German vaccine development. The U.K. ordered more from Oxford/AZ, it’s the way it works unfortunately......

AZ hasn’t applied for approval in the US yet. In all honesty the FDA is one of the toughest regulatory bodies in the world to get approval from. Based on the trials so far, for a few different reasons, it’s unlikely the FDA would approve AZ.

AZ know this. Therefore the Oxford team are completing a more thorough phase 3 trial in the US that should give us results in April. This trial will likely be a little less haphazard and more representative of other age groups - over 70’s. So should give the world in regard to AZ a lot more data, then their previous trials.
 

People aged 40-49 next in line for Covid-19 vaccine​

People aged 40-49 will be prioritised next for a Covid-19 vaccine, Professor Wei Shen Lim from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has announced.
In phase two of the UK's vaccine rollout, it says priority will be given by age in the following order:
- All those aged 40-49- All those aged 30-39- All those aged 18-29



Stick that needle in my arm BABY BABY
WTF are we doing vaccinating down to age18. Ridiculous.
 
From the World of Yesterday, written by Stefan Zweig, the chapter which he talks about his Paris years

“Oh, how easily, how well, one lived in Paris, particularly if one was young! Merely walking about was a pleasure and a lesson at the same time, for everything was within reach. You could walk into a secondhand bookshop and spend a quarter hour turning the pages without the dealer’s grumbling or complaining. You could go into the small galleries and the art shops and browse around as you wished, you could look in on the auctions at the Hôtel Drouot, and chat with the governesses in the parks. It was not easy to stop once you had started strolling, for the street drew you on magnetically; it was a kaleidoscope, constantly disclosing something new. If you were tired you could sit on the terrace of one of the ten thousand cafés and write letters on stationery which was supplied free of charge and at the same time have the street vendors trying to sell you their entire stock of baubles and gadgets. The only difficult thing was to stay home or to go home, especially when it was spring and the lights shone soft and silvery over the Seine, and the trees on the boulevards were beginning to bud, and the girls were wearing bunches of violets which they had bought for a penny. But it was not necessarily spring that put you in a good mood in Paris.”

are we going to have this kind of life back at some point, or nay?

Dunno, maybe if you live in Paris.
 
Seen that the daily mail have done an article about deaths not being covid. When there are over 120,000 deaths you're going to get some deaths that are incorrectly labelled as covid but what is the article trying to achieve? What they are doing seems dangerous to me and the media shouldn't be writing conspiracy theory type nonsense.

I have a family member who was classed as a covid death and it was definitely debatable but that type of article shouldn't be allowed.
