Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Not if they keep having all these suspensions it wont.
Its like watching a game of tennis atm.

If AZ was banned tomorrow I think the EU would be looking at August, not sure on the U.K. I know it’s used a lot there and then you’d have a lot of people between doses.

But all going well I think everyone in Europe who wants one will have a dose by the end of July, some countries might have done it in June.

5-a-side re-opens for me tomorrow, haircut next week, sun’s shining (somehow also had snow), everyone important to me has been vaxxed now. Get in.

Should be easy playing against lads with 3 legs and horns .....

I'm no Rangers fan and, yes, Dallas sucks.

And the Rangers are going to be terrible. Imagine putting yourself and your family at risk for that absolute shower, and waiving all liability claims in the process, just to go watch a sport you’re allegedly boycotting because they aren’t as fascist as you.

I’d say they’d be much harder to play against.

I wonder how many Tories and their funders have shares in AstraZenica?

It would be very interesting to see when those shares were purchased.

If you/your employer has a pension, pretty much nailed on you have.

Indeed - also worth remembering that AZ are selling the vaccine at cost, so why exactly would an MP buy shares in them hoping for a massive windfall if they're not making any profit from the vaccine...?

As far as conspiracies go, think we can file this one under "The Queen is a lizard". God loves a trier.

I had the AZ vax, just waiting for my 6th finger to come through now, bonus.

I can't get my head around the virus seemingly cancelling out all other illnesses. After this we are going to have to start playing catch up with other procedures, it's going to take a while for people with other ailments to get the treatment they need. I myself have had to miss my painkilling injections for 15months(just had them a few weeks ago thankfully but got cancelled a few times for covid)

Somebody else hit the nail on the head before.

We know that these vaccines, as with all medicine have a degree of risk.

Vaccines will possibly kill X amount per million, the virus will kill XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX amount per million.

1 of them leaves us hiding in our houses, the other gives us a small possibly brief taste of normal.

That was me goat, you could have tagged me to make me feel special pfft lol

I know a lad that put a few thousand into AZ shares a few months before this virus kicked off.

Works in pharmaceutical science and heard they were leading the way to make a vaccine should there be a pandemic. He can’t believe his luck now.

Really? Its share price is up a massive 3.3% in the last 12 months.

If he'd bought them on the 1st January 2020 before it all kicked off, he'd be... down 8% as of today.

Their share price has performed terribly - they're essentially producing this vaccine for free.

Dont take the AZ vaccine though, there’s a 1 in 3 million chance you’ll get a blood clot and die.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

So for all us under 40's whats the statistical chance of a blood clot getting the AZ then?
