Ah that's quite the turnaround then if so. I haven't checked for a few weeks, I just remember the 3% efficacy and raised my eyebrows.

Yeah it really isn’t a vaccine you’d want an extended delay between dosing strategy, especially if variants are involved.

Am I right that group is part of Sage? If so anyone any idea where can read the full document?

Edit duh, there was a link in the post I did a page back lol

They seemed concerned, but not overly earlier. As in, its a PITA, but the impact on health and hospitalisations, so far, is minimal.

I cant help but feel for the young'uns. They have spent over a year doing stuff to protect their elders, who are now mostly jabbed, and now, they are at risk of getting infected, without much protection. The hope is they shrug it off.

Mentioned it before on here but in my family we've been impacted much worse by the lockdown than the virus itself. Not really bothered about myself but mentally its tough to see people you care about suffering.

Not concerned at all.

Everyone one on the planet lives through this in their own prism.

Without wanting to sound stupid, but I think you will appreciate the analogy, it must have been similar in the war. The cities got pounded, the youngsters went to fight, the "lucky" ones in small towns and villages were not unaware or unaffected by it, but day to day, it was a pain, not a threat.

Truly pathetic situation the government has got us all involved in over this Indian variant, a party and Government that proudly boasts its abilities of taking control of borders fails miserably again.
Month ago controlling Indian travel should have come in. Now all that effort for June 21st now in jeopardy because of the desire for upmanship over EU trade deal with India, bunch kin useless arseholes this Brexit obsessed Government.

It is infuriating.

Earlier today, Johnson said sommet like we have robust controls and quarantine proceedures. Well, clearly, we dont. Still.

Does it stop hospitalisations though?

If so its helpful.

Proper hope this variant doesn't mess everything up. Really can't deal with another lockdown and the impact of it.

I'm with you mate, I've been following the "rules" as much as possible and to think of more lockdowns and not seeing the family for even longer is unbearable.

Fair play listening to him but I don't know how anyone can listen to the obnoxious little fat fart.

I've been ignoring much of the news so maybe I'm out of the loop and being thick, but I thought India was a red list country requiring hotel quarantine 9n arrival in the uk? Or have the only just suddenly slipped India on the list?

Mind you, it only takes a few folk from India travelling into other countries not on our red list (or vice versa), starting the spread, and then someone else travelling between the UK and second country.

Lad I work with travelled to and from Nigeris via Turkey for work purposes. Madness imho
