Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

It's down to months of lockdown and the fact that indoor activities are yet to happen again. The vaccines have not had a major stress test yet. They will from May 17th.

It’s already happening and has been for weeks......

I think that’s because Pfizer have said it needs a third dose......

They all likely will both to a) keep up with any variants b) ensure there protection is kept at the maximum.

This is great news, so long as they don’t rip the world off with pricing....

True but still the testing/mask combo seems like a more workable solution than social distancing/reduced attendance to get concerts going again.

What has?

Level of testing in India is pretty poor so need to factor that into these results but still suggestive that the vaccines are effective against whatever is prevalent in India

Covoshield is rebrand of AZ vaccine

We left lockdown about 3 months ago.

Your quite insane if you don't think we did.

It's also the case that everyone who went in had a test done and were negative...why would anyone expect it to be a super spreading event with those precautions in place?

We haven't left lockdown in any meaningful way yet. Watch the cases rise again by the end of the summer. Hopefully the vaccines reduce serious cases, but this virus isn't disappearing. And neither will the vaccines cover everyone.

For me it all comes down to this: atm everything is pretty much outdoors; if we have indoor events and indoor hospitality we know what happens...so why do it? The only answer in favour of it is cash.
