Let's hope none of those hospitalised have had their jabs or we're all in trouble.

The indoor re-opening of pubs and restaurants in 9 days time cant go ahead if there's a major outbreak of this variant.

It could be another utter catastrophe to place on top of two other catastrophes.

Whats annoying is I wonder how many people have travelled to and from India despite knowing the situation over there.

Its astonishing how borders are still open to anything but trade

We are an island. We have a natural advantage. It's been squandered by these butchers.

The borders should be sealed as tight as a camel's arse in a sand storm for however long it takes.

Interesting study suggesting the presence of antibodies in the upper respiratory system, nose and mouth amongst the vaccinated. Possibly raising the question /prospect of the phasing out of face masks.

Detection of persistent SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies in oral mucosal fluid and upper respiratory tract specimens following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination

Previous studies have shown that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at preventing SAR-CoV-2 infection by generating an immune response, which in part produces SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies in serum. In this study, we hypothesized that COVID-19 vaccines may elicit production of SARS-CoV-2...

Surprised by this. It hasn't really helped much in Chile has it?

Why because that is not made by western countries? Sinovac is next for approval by WHO, mark my words.
